His Angel by Samantha Cole Page A

everybody, it isn't for me, and can be quite an undertaking for some Doms. It's a lot of responsibility for them and after a while, some find it's not what they really want. A Dom/submissive relationship is not as extreme and usually consists of control of a sub's safety and pleasure, although every relationship is unique."
    "Wow. This is a lot more involved than I realized. I thought it was just about tying a woman up and spanking her."
    When she paused, he let the silence drag on for a few minutes while she digested all he'd told her, her teeth nibbling on her bottom lip. When he brought his thumb up to rescue her tender flesh, she was tempted to nibble on that instead. "I take it some parts of all this interest you since I'm still sitting here and you haven't tossed me out on my ass, yet."
    Angie smiled nervously. "Yes, I'll admit, I'm intrigued but I'm also a little scared."
    "I'd be worried if you weren't. This is something new and out of your comfort zone. But, if you're willing to test your limits...I'd be more than happy to help you explore. If you want, we can sign an open-ended contract which outlines our D/s relationship and lists what parts of the lifestyle you're interested in, or not, and what I expect from you."
    Her smile turned into a small frown. That sounded so formal and business-like. "A contract?"
    "It's not as cold as it sounds, sweetheart. More often than not, Doms and submissives sign an agreement which defines their relationship so there's no confusion or false expectations. There are general contracts we have available at the club but each Dom and sub can change it to suit their needs. The negotiations they do prior to signing a contract forces them to talk about everything so there is no guessing between them. Think back on some of your past relationships. Were there times you wondered what your boyfriend was thinking about, or you wanted something you weren't getting from him but weren't sure how to bring up the subject?"
    She nodded, understanding how much communication there was between a Dom and sub. "Yes, there were. Sometimes I'd go nuts trying to get one of them to tell me what was on their mind."
    "Exactly." Ian smiled. "See you're learning already. Is a D/s relationship something you want to try, Angel? With me?"
    Her gaze met his for the first time since she sat back down and when she swallowed hard, his eyes fell to the movement in her throat. The pulse in her neck picked up speed as well as her breathing and it seemed that was all the encouragement he need. His other hand, which had been resting on the back of the couch, wrapped around the nape of her neck before he closed the gap between them. Pausing with their lips not quite touching, he waited. When her breath hitched, he brought his mouth down on hers. A heartbeat or two later, her lips parted and he changed the angle of his mouth so he could plunge his tongue inside her depths.
    Heaven. Like the night before, his mouth was pure heaven with a bit of hell mixed in. Just enough to make her want to let him take her over to the dark side of sex. His hand skimmed down her bare back, stopping at her waist before working its way back up again. Her shivers made her nipples harder than they already were, and he pulled her into his lap, never letting her mouth go. They stayed that way for a few minutes, devouring each other. Her hands moved up around his neck and she shoved her fingers into the hair at the back of his head. When he pulled away and looked at her with lust-filled eyes, she knew her green ones revealed her own desire. They were both panting and as much as she wanted him to take possession of her mouth again, he apparently had other things he wanted to do to her. "Let me give you a little taste of my world tonight, Angel. No pain, just pleasure. And no intercourse. I want to make you cum for me. I want you to shatter under my touch. Will you let me please you?"
    His whiskey-smooth tone of voice had moisture pooling between her
