Alices hand twitched – she had almost allowed herself to be taken in by Susan. What was going on with her? It was about the story – yeah – the story – that had to be it. Two weeks researching S&M clubs was enough to lull anyone into its false sense of security. She would admit a certain curiosity – what would it be to lose control completely – to allow another person to call all the shots. But that is all it was – idle curiosity, nothing more, nothing less.

Her downfall came a few moments later as she met Laras intense gaze. The redheads power resonating from each pore. Lara had never looked more attractive. She was radiant in the glow of the power that was self-control. Alice was drawn to that – just as she had been hypnotized by Susans authoritative breath on her neck. Gulp.

Lara broke the silence. Cannot believe after all you found out about Susan – you were willing to risk what she could do to you – for what, an article? If I had not come in when I did, you would have fallen prey to her. Do not thank me for coming to your defense. As far as Susan is concerned – from now on you belong to me. I doubt she will step over that line again. However – you need to understand what you are risking.

Lara paused to allow Alice to take in what was being said. Alice shifted in her seat. She was out of her element – snarky was not the way this worked. A cool joke – a quick barb and this would all be over – and for whatever reason – she was not sure she wanted it to end yet.

Lara began again I am offering you one night. It will only be for tonight. We will go to my place, you will submit to me in ways you have not even considered. You will be safe – I will not push you past the point you are willing to go. We will set a safe word that will end all play immediately. You can choose to leave now and we will never discuss this again. However, I will not be stepping in between you and another Domme again. Do you understand what I am saying?
