signs of the power-hungry male she once thought all dominant men to be. Of course, Phillip had shattered that stereotype the very first night he tied her up. She had since learned he would not demand control over her. She had to willingly give it to him.
    “So you’re saying that, even though I’m your slave, it’s possible I could still disagree with you? Or refuse you?”
    He hesitated. “Yes…and no. In some things, you might definitely disagree with me or even refuse. In others, you might still refuse but there would be consequences.”
    “And a part of the journey is deciding which things are which?”
    “Yes.”
    Sarah considered. “And I can keep my job if I want to?”
    “You can keep your job if you want to.”
    “And my friends?”
    “And your friends.”
    “And you’ll still tie me up when we have sex?”
    Phillip laughed. “And I’ll still restrain you in the manner I choose when we have sex.”
    The rephrasing reasserted his dominance in the relationship and Sarah smiled. They’d work it out together. That was the important part. “Thank you, Sir. I really didn’t intend to start our weekend this way. It all sort of…just came out.”
    Phillip stood and held out his hand and Sarah took it, letting him pull her up beside him. “Remember, slave. I always want honesty from you. Better to get this out of the way now than make me spend the entire evening trying to figure out what I’m doing wrong.”
    She cocked her head at him. “What do you mean?”
    “You get a faraway look in your eyes when your mind isn’t totally with me. Usually that means I’ve pushed a limit too far. Tonight I was afraid it was something I said. Promise me you’ll always tell me when you have concerns?”
    Smiling, she put her hands behind her head, shifted her weight so she stood with her legs slightly spread and smiled up at him. “I promise, Sir.”
    He grinned. “In that case, Sarah-my-slave, I do believe you’re ready for this.” He crossed to the buffet and picked up a thicker leather strap. Coming back to her, he held the collar in both his hands as he waited for her to lean forward and accept her servitude.
    Smiling, Sarah gathered her hair and moved it out of the way so he could fasten the leather collar around her neck. The familiar snick of the closing lock flooded her pussy as it always did. She blushed.
    Hooking a finger through the ring on the front of the collar, Phillip didn’t say another word, only gently pulled her toward the dungeon room. Her heart pounding, Sarah followed eagerly, anxious yet excited at the same time. How would he use her tonight?
    He motioned for her to stay in the doorway while he went in and arranged some items. She loved the way all the big pieces were covered in blue velvet, hiding their nefarious purposes, much as she hid her true nature under the everyday clothes she wore. Smiling, she realized she was very much like this room…rather plain-looking on the outside, yet such delightful secrets hidden inside. Just like her. What secrets would Phillip uncover tonight?
    The autumn twilight faded quickly, filling the room with long shadows. The room’s only window faced east and Sarah knew how cheerful it looked in the mornings. Now, however, as Phillip lit a small candelabrum filled with little white candles, cheerful was not an adjective she’d use. Romantic worked. So did erotic and sexy.
    Jarred candles were placed around the room and Phillip lit each of those in turn as well. Only when the place was ablaze with light did he put down the lighter and turn toward where she still stood in the doorway. He held out his hand in a gesture that could not be denied.
    Sarah stepped forward, trying not to look too eager, and placed her hand in his. He led her to the center of the room, then stepped back to examine her. Sarah saw hunger in his eyes, mixed with something else too. Something calculating. He definitely had a something up his sleeve tonight. The thought gave her a
