moment. “You mean like be submissive to him?”
    “Yep. You visited those Internet sites we talked about, didn’t you?” Eve grinned, remembering the research she’d surreptitiously done after she’d received her mystery flogger. “Yeah. Interesting stuff.”
    “It is interesting. And often revealing. You say you love Simon, but don’t know if you are able to commit to a lifetime together. You’re afraid. Perhaps the issue here isn’t so much one of love, but one of trust.”
    “I’m not sure I understand.”
    Adele sighed. “I’m not really sure I do, either. I just know that for a good marriage there has to be trust as well as love. Along with respect and all the other nice stuff. You can’t know what he’s feeling, but you can find out what you’re feeling. Find out whether you trust him enough to let him control you.”
    “You mean like pass him my flogger and say here, beat me if you want to?”
    “Not quite.” Adele chuckled. “It doesn’t work that way. Or it shouldn’t.” Eve sighed her relief. “Well, good. I don’t believe in handing someone a loaded gun and saying go ahead and shoot me with it.”

    “But that’s just it. You do need to trust Simon enough to hand him a ‘loaded gun.’ Could you do that?” Eve’s mind whirled. Could she?
    Could she hand her body over to him? Completely?
    She gazed down into her coffee cup, not seeing the liquid or the china or her hands gripping it firmly.
    She saw Simon’s eyes. Calm, smiling, loving, on fire with passion, his eyes had never shown her anger or temper. Even when they argued, and they’d had some really amazingly intense arguments, she’d never seen his eyes darken into fury.
    She realized at that moment that she did trust him. She trusted him to love her. And THAT was the defining thought.
    She looked up from her cup and smiled at Adele.
    “Yes. Yes I could give him a loaded gun. I trust him and I do believe, all the way down to my toes, that he loves me and wouldn’t ever hurt me.”
    Adele smiled back. “You’re on your way, girl.”
    “Hmm.”
    “What?”
    “Adele, you remember those Internet websites?” Eve’s eyebrow rose in a wicked curve.
    “Yes…”
    “Would you help me arrange a welcome for Simon tomorrow night? A really interesting one?”

The apartment building was quiet as Simon pulled his suitcase from the elevator and headed for his front door. He wanted desperately to go straight to Eve’s and just bury himself in her, putting the last few days of annoying business meetings behind him, but he’d had his instructions.
    Yesterday the cryptic emails had begun and his curiosity was now completely aroused, along with something else that had been bumping his shorts whenever he thought about his messages.
    The first had been pretty straightforward.
    “ I’m looking forward to you being home, and I think I’m going to plan a special welcome for you.
    Would my place be OK? [email protected]”
    Well, of course. Her place, his place, the back stairwell, anywhere would be just fine. As long as it involved him and Eve, naked. He’d grinned and spent the next couple of hours mildly distracted at contemplating what a “special” welcome might entail.
    At lunchtime he’d checked his email.
    “ I’ve been thinking long and hard about you. Not difficult seeing as there’s much that’s long and hard about you that I adore. LOL. Will you do me a favor and go to your place first? Shower, change, then come to me about seven o’clock? The welcome should be ready by then .
    [email protected] ”
    His anticipation grew as the instructions became a little more specific.
    “ I’ve left some new clothes for you at your place that I think you may find pleasing. I certainly wish to please you. In fact, you might say that my desire is to please you. In any way .
    [email protected] ” Okay. Now his shorts were tight and his palms were sweating. The last meeting of the day was an ordeal.
