in the same room with you, hot stuff, you’re all I think about.”
    Nick ate but kept his eyes on Adam.
    “Um, I know the feeling. I couldn’t believe when you called me today and started jacking off. I had such a boner, I had to excuse myself to the bathroom. I stood back there and thought about the price of gas and the state of the economy—anything to get my mind off you.”
    “Did you touch yourself?” Nick asked, still eating.
    “No, sir, I did not. You said I shouldn’t. Obviously, the same didn’t go for you, bugger.”
    Nick smiled. “Sir. I like it.”

    “Oh, yeah?” Adam’s eyebrows rose. “There are a couple of other things I think you like, too. Maybe we should talk about them. You said something yesterday about punishing me.
    You really seemed to get off on the concept.”
    “How did it make you feel?”
    “I don’t know.” Adam picked over his food. Suddenly, he seemed nervous.
    Nick placed one hand over Adam’s. “Listen. Eat, now. When we’re done, we’ll take our wine into the other room and talk. We do have a few things to discuss.”
    Adam’s eyes widened. “Anything bad? I mean, are we okay?”
    Nick smiled and squeezed the hand. “We’re better than okay. But whether you think it’s anything bad…I guess I’ll leave it up to you.”
    With a groan, Adam dove back into his meal and ate, quickly.
    Nick swallowed a few more bites and pushed his plate away. Nervous butterflies had taken over his stomach. He’d mentioned talking to Adam. There was no turning back, now.
    He didn’t want to turn back. He wanted to be open and honest for the first time in their relationship.
    Adam loaded the dishwasher while Nick refilled their wine glasses and deposited them on the coffee table in front of the sofa.
    “Come, sit.” Nick patted the sofa cushion next to him.
    “Almost done.” Adam wiped off the counter with a clean dishrag and tidied the kitchen before joining Nick. He settled back comfortably, tucking his feet under him, and nursed his wine. “So, you wanted to talk?”
    “Yeah.” Nick stretched his long legs out in front of Adam and sipped his wine. When he couldn’t stall any longer, he asked, “What do you know about the BDSM lifestyle?”
    Adam’s face went blank. “Not much. Big guys in black leather masks carrying whips, I guess.”
    Nick smiled. “Leather and whips can be part of it. Actually, BDSM covers a wide variety of areas. I’m mainly interested in the B and D, bondage and discipline. Have you ever heard of Dominants and submission in sex?”
    Adam shrugged. “I know some guys only want to be on top. Like you. I’ve yet to fuck you.” He added quickly, “Not saying I mind. We’ve done everything else, and it’s been fantastic, but I just noticed…”

    Nick nodded. “It’s true. And it’s not like I don’t want to be fucked. But I’m a Dom, babe . If I let someone top me, it’s going to have to be one special person.”
    “You’re a Dominant?” Adam repeated slowly, as if trying to take it in. “You never told me. And you haven’t let me…so I must not be the special person.”
    “Whoa, back up the train, there, lover. I haven’t told you because I didn’t want to scare you the fuck away. I’ve been dropping subtle hints, trying to ease you into the idea. Because, you see, I’ve figured out you are the one. I care about you more than I have anybody in a long, long time. I’m anxious to see where this relationship takes us. But it’s time for me to be totally honest about how I feel and the things I want.”
    Adam breathed a sigh of relief. “Yes! I want those things, too. Total honesty. I’m crazy about you, Nick. I’d love to see what the future has in store for us.”
    Nick smiled, injecting a teasing tone into his next words. “What do you think about submitting to me?”
    Adam knocked back the last of his wine and set the glass down. “I honestly
