A bit of scruff darkened his cheeks and jawline; she imagined for a moment what that rough cheek would feel like kissing up the inside of her thigh......His piercing blue eyes crinkled a bit, a little spark in them as if he knew what she was thinking. They embraced, Dorian giving her a small kiss on the cheek.“Hello, Bree. Are you going to tell me what made you look at me that way as you were walking over?”Her cheeks reddened as she gazed up at him through her long, dark lashes.He gave a little. We had people that could make those calls and they were normally taken by the GMs.Laurie was finally ready and I drove back to my hotel. She gave me a look that let me know that she was suspicious of my intentions. I just smirked, “Laurie, I’ve already paid to park here and it is a short walk to the concert. I don’t need to get stuck in traffic getting out of there.”“That makes sense. I was just making sure you weren’t trying to get me in your bed.”“No, I have that part of my life under. My friend welcomed me and steered me to the bar in the back of the yard. I got a strong vodka and lime juice and sat in a chair next to the bar. I noticed a few women I didn't know that looked very stunning. All barely wearing clothes that covered them . I am a people watcher and I sat back and fantasized how they looked nude. Then a guy I didn't know walked up to the bar and made himself a drink and looked at me and smiled. I smiled and said Hello and he asked if I would like some company. .. Master." Very well, Pet." He brought his hands out from behind his back, holding the collar which he buckled around her neck. "First things first, then, Pet." He sat on the sofa. "Come over here and bend over my lap."When she obeyed him, he brought his hand down sharply in a stinging smack; she couldn't suppress a sharp cry. "One, thank you Master." Do you know why I'm doing this?" He brought his hand down again, just as hard."Two, thank you Master. Because I ... didn't trust you?"He smacked.
