Chapter 58 - 58 (1/2)

”Thank you, little sub, you have no idea what that means to me. Now, do you want to continue?” he asked.

In his voice I heard a quiver of fear, I was sure he thought I would deny him. This small show of weakness in him made me smile and I knew I could never tell him no.

”Yes, Sir. If it pleases you, I want to continue.”

”So prettily said. You are learning quickly, good girl. I want you to go to your cabinet drawer, pull out all your toys, and spread them on the bed in front of you,” he said with satisfaction.

I put him on speakerphone and rushed to do as he asked. I dumped all the toys on the bed and then lined them up into a neat pile.

”Done,” I said breathlessly.

”Okay, now I want you to tell me exactly everything you have.”

I gaped at the phone. He seriously expected me to list them off to him like a flipping grocery list. I stared at my collection, measly I knew, still, I've never shared them with anyone before and that got me thinking.

”How did you know I had these?” I asked glaring at the phone accusingly.

He chuckled. ”Do you really want me to tell you that?”

”Yes,” I demanded.

”The night I spent with you. Well... I was getting dried off after my shower and I bumped into the cabinet and one of the things in there started vibrating.”

I flopped down on the bed and groaned into my hands mortified that he had seen them. Normally, when I invited a man over, I would have hidden them away. But with Reed, everything had happened so fast that I had forgotten and honestly that exact phrase seemed to sum up our entire relationship.

”Mia, it's fine. I would have worried if you didn't have some toys. It is expected that a woman of your sensuality to have something that would allow her to take care of herself,” Reed insisted.

I bit my lip still unsure.

”Trust me, baby. It was a huge turn-on. It's one of the reasons I made love to you that morning. The thought of you using those on yourself made me so hard I couldn't resist you,” he admitted wistfully.

The embarrassment began to fade as the memory of that morning came to mind. Well, if I'd known it would prompt that kind of reaction, I would have left the drawer open the night before so he could have seen it.

”Thank you, Sir. For letting me know that you were more turned on than horrified,” I replied with a giggle.

”You're welcome, little sub. Any real man is not threatened by objects such as that,” he explained.

”I've been there, Sir, you are truly unique,” I said.

I began to think back to a few miserable experiences that had encouraged me to hide my toys as soon as I knew a man would be staying that night. One of those experiences included that horrid weatherman.

”After hearing some of the descriptions from Lizzie, I've had serious doubts about the 'men' in your life. It gave me hope, my love,” Reed said.

The endearment made me catch my breath as I wondered if he really meant it or if it was unconsciously spoken.

”Now, are you done trying to distract me?” he asked.

”No, Sir! I mean yes, Sir. But no, I wasn't-,” I broke off when he chuckled and I realized he was joking with me.

”Right, well... um... well there's my... vibrators and my... dildos...”My voice ended in a whisper.

I was horrified, mortified with just those few items. Oh, there was no way was I going to tell him about an amateur set of nipple clamps that I had bought a little while back. It was after reading about how good they felt on the girls in the books.

”What color are they?” he asked.

”Don't you already know?” I snapped.

I heard a growl over the phone. ”If I was there right now, girl I have a few toys I'd like to introduce you to.”

I took a deep breath and tried to swallow the embarrassment which was causing me to lash out.
