After weeks of cyberspanking, Josie and her online Dom are ready for the real thing, so they agree to meet in person. When Josie arrives at the restaurant, she’s stunned to discover “Sir Dom” is none other than her ex-boyfriend Gavin Elliot.

Chapter One Josie Roberts couldn’t believe she’d agreed to go on a real, live, honest-to-goodness date with the man who’d been spanking her for the past eight weeks. Well, he hadn’t spanked her for real, only online. But it had been more erotic than anything she’d ever experienced. She met Sir Dom in a spanking chat room a few months ago and the two of them had immediately clicked. Probably because he was so naturally dominant and she was so naturally submissive. Talking in the chat room had quickly progressed to emailing each other and chatting on Yahoo! Messenger. The conversation had flowed even more easily away from the chat room, and Josie found herself opening up about past relationships and how they hadn’t worked because the men she’d dated hadn’t been into the whole dominant/submissive lifestyle. Sir Dom admitted that was the main reason things with his previous partners hadn’t worked either. Josie felt herself falling for her cyberdom even more when he described the kind of woman he was looking for—one who enjoyed being submissive and getting spanked in the bedroom, but who was his complete equal outside it. While she liked having her ass warmed in conjunction with a little bondage and discipline, she wasn’t into serious domination. Outside the bedroom, she was her own woman with her own opinions and had no desire to have anyone tell her what to do. It was then she realized how much she and Sir Dom had in common in addition to their love of spanking. They went to see the same kinds of movies, watched the same shows on television and loved the same sports. They even frequented the same restaurants. That last one was how she figured out he lived in the same city she did. When he’d named a locally owned restaurant, she automatically asked him if he lived in Savannah. It was only afterward that she realized he might not want to reveal

personal information. They used screen names on the forum, after all. But she was surprised when he answered without hesitation, saying that yes, he lived in Savannah too. While Josie had secretly fantasized about the possibility of them getting together she honestly hadn’t expected him to ask her—very casually—if she’d like to have dinner with him. She’d thought about it for half a second, then quickly typed her answer—yes. It was probably a little reckless, but her heart told her to go for it. Although she’d been thrilled about finally meeting him in person, she still wanted to approach their date safely, so she suggested meeting at the restaurant on the Riverfront they’d talked about. They also agreed on some basic ground rules. They’d have dinner first and if it turned out they were wrong about their apparent connection, then they’d both walk away. No commitments or regrets. Josie didn’t think she needed to worry about that. Something told her Sir Dom was the man she’d been waiting for her whole life. Josie took out her compact and checked her makeup one more time. No mascara smudges under her eyes or lipstick on her teeth and thanks to her leave-in conditioner, her long, brunette hair hadn’t given in to the early-evening humidity and frizzed out. Now if only her nerves would calm down. Her heart was racing a mile a minute. Hoping a glass of liquid courage might help, she put her compact back in her purse and went into the restaurant. She was a little early but since she and Sir Dom had decided to meet in the bar anyway, she wasn’t worried about missing him when he got there. Of course, it would be nice if she knew what he looked like. They hadn’t exchanged pictures so all she knew was that he was tall with dark hair and brown eyes. And that he’d be drinking one of those fancy microbrewery beers called Condor Mountain. The restaurant’s hostess greeted Josie with a smile as soon as she walked in. “One for dinner?”

Josie returned the woman’s smile. “I’m meeting someone, so I’m just going to wait in the bar.” Josie did a quick scan of the drinks on the bar, hoping to see a bottle of Condor Mountain, but there wasn’t one in sight. Her gaze went to the men next. There were a few blonds, several with gray hair and two with dark hair. She couldn’t see their faces from where she was standing, though. She ventured closer so she could get a better look only to stop in her tracks when she realized that one of the dark-haired men standing there was her ex-boyfriend Gavin Elliot. Damn. With all the restaurants in Savannah, he had to pick this one. Maybe he wouldn’t see her. But that hope was dashed as he turned to glance her way. Surprise flashed across his ruggedly handsome face. Double damn. Josie groaned. She supposed it was too late to pretend she didn’t see him. If it was any consolation, he looked as uncomfortable with seeing her as she did him. Awkward. It wasn’t that their relationship had ended badly. After dating for several months, they’d both simply come to the conclusion there wasn’t any chemistry in bed or longterm potential out of it. The realization had bummed her out, especially since Gavin was so dang hot. But he was too vanilla for her. Deciding it would be best to get it over with, Josie pasted a smile on her face and walked over to him. “Long time, no see, huh?” She cringed inwardly at the cliché. That was the best she could come up with? Talk about lame. “Yeah, it has.” He took in her short, curve-hugging sleeveless dress, his mouth lifting into a smile. “You look great.” “So do you.” To be honest, he looked better than great. Dressed in a pair of khaki pants and a button-up shirt with the sleeves rolled up to expose his nicely muscled forearms, he

looked good enough to eat. And his voice, which she’d always thought would be perfect for giving orders, was just as sexy as she remembered. God, she really wished things had worked out with him. “Are you here for dinner?” he asked. “I’m meeting someone. A blind date, actually.” “No kidding? Me too.” She blinked. “Really? How’s that for coincidence?” He looked like he was about to reply, but the bartender interrupted before he could say anything. “Your bottle of Condor Mountain, sir,” he said to Gavin before turning to her. “Anything for you, ma’am?” Josie must have stared at the bottle of beer in front of Gavin for a full minute before she realized it was the same beer Sir Dom told her he’d be drinking. Another coincidence, she was sure. Abruptly aware that the bartender was still waiting for her order, she turned her attention back to him. “I’ll have an appletini, please.” Her gaze went back to the beer in front of Gavin. “When did you start drinking that fancy microbrewery stuff?” “A few weeks ago.” He wrapped his hand around the bottle, brushing his thumb over the embossed logo on the label. “A buddy of mine introduced me to it.” Josie nodded. She’d remembered reading somewhere that microbrewery beer was very popular now. The fact that the restaurant kept this particular brand in stock obviously meant a lot of their clientele drank it. The bartender returned, placing her drink in front of her. “An appletini for the lady.” “Thank you.” She picked it up and quickly took a sip. When she set it down, it was to find Gavin regarding her thoughtfully. Or more precisely, the drink she’d ordered. 9

“So, this blind date,” he said. “Did a friend set you up?” “No. I met him online.” Josie gave him a sheepish look as she reached up to tuck her hair behind her ear. “I know it sounds crazy, but we immediately clicked.” Gavin took a swig of beer. “I don’t think it’s crazy at all. I met my blind date online too.” “Really?” “Yeah. Like you said, we immediately clicked.” “Wow. What are the chances, huh?” “My thoughts exactly.” Of its own accord, Josie’s gaze went to the bottle of beer again. The bottle of Condor Mountain beer coupled with the fact Gavin was there to meet a blind date was simply too much of a coincidence. But there was no way her very vanilla ex-boyfriend could be the dom of her dreams. She lifted her gaze to meet his. The look in his dark eyes told her he’d put the blind date and the appletini she told Sir Dom she’d be drinking together and was thinking the same thing about her. “When you said you’d met him online, was it on a dating site or in a chat room? Gavin asked. “In a chat room.” She wet her suddenly dry lips. “You?” “A chat room.” Okay. The microbrewery beer, the blind date and now, the chat room. There was no such thing as that much coincidence. “Oh God,” she breathed. “You’re Sir Dom, aren’t you?” “That’s me.” His mouth edged up. “Which means you’re Sexy ’n Submissive.” Josie blushed at the screen name. Things had suddenly gone from awkward to mortifying. She shook her head. “I-I should go.” 10
Submission Becomes Her
He reached out and caught her arm. “Josie, wait.” She hesitated, turned to face him. “There are a lot of people who hang out in that chat room, Josie. What are the chances of the two of us finding each other?” She chewed on her lower lip, not caring if it messed up her lip gloss. “Why didn’t you ever tell me you were into spanking?” “Why didn’t you?” he countered. Her face colored even more. “I didn’t want you to think I was weird.” “I didn’t want you to think I was a pervert,” he confessed. Josie let out a sigh that quickly turned into a laugh. “We’re a fine pair, aren’t we?” “Now that we both admitted what kind of relationship we’re really looking for, I’d say that yeah, we are.” He glanced at the dining room. “What do you say we grab a table so we can talk?” She hesitated. She’d come here sure that she’d found her perfect match online. That shouldn’t change simply because that match turned out to be her ex-boyfriend. She owed it to herself to see this through. She nodded. “I’d like that.” As Josie followed the hostess into the dining room, she was keenly aware of Gavin behind her. Was he checking out her ass? He’d always had a thing for that part of her anatomy, cupping her bottom in his strong hands whenever she was on top during sex. Had he been thinking about spanking her all those times? The notion sent delightful little shivers through her. Josie tried to focus on the menu the waitress gave her but found herself replaying every sexy conversation she and Gavin had online. Now that she’d gotten over the initial embarrassment of discovering she’d had kinky cybersex with her ex-boyfriend, it made what they’d done even hotter. Probably because she was now sitting here imagining him doing all the erotic things to her they’d talked about.
11

Despite how comfortable she was with him and the fact that they’d dated for almost two months before splitting up, this felt more like a first date. In many ways, Josie supposed it was. The Gavin she had dated had been “Vanilla Gavin” while this version of Gavin was anything but vanilla—at least based on the way they had chatted on the net. She was still wondering how to start the conversation with this new and improved Gavin when he spoke. “When did you first discover you were into spanking?” Oddly enough, that wasn’t something they’d ever discussed online. “I read a romance book where the heroine got spanked and it turned me on more than any other sex scene in the whole story. I read that section so many times the poor pages fell out. It was all I could think about.” “And here I thought romance books were boring.” Gavin leaned forward, resting his forearms on the table. “Describe the scene to me.” Someone else probably wouldn’t have noticed the subtle authoritative tone in his voice, but she did and it made her pulse flutter. “Well,” she said, leaning forward and lowering her voice. “The heroine was being held captive by this handsome pirate. Only he wasn’t really a pirate. He was just pretending to be a pirate so he could get back at his evil twin brother for framing him for a crime he didn’t commit. So he kidnapped his brother’s fiancée, hoping to expose the jerk for what he was.” Gavin’s brow furrowed. “The hero turned to a life of a crime in order to prove he wasn’t a criminal? Doesn’t make a whole hell of a lot of sense.” She laughed. “It did in the book. But that’s not the important part. The spanking is.” His mouth quirked. “I won’t argue with that.” “As you can imagine, the heroine didn’t take to kindly to being kidnapped, especially by her fiancé’s twin brother,” Josie continued. “In between trying to escape,
12
Submission Becomes Her
she makes the hero’s life miserable. While he threatens to spank her a few times, he doesn’t make good on his promise until she embarrasses him in front of his crew. He’s about to tie her to the railing and spank her right there on the deck of his ship in front of his men, but relents at the last minute and takes her down to his cabin to administer her punishment. Not that it mattered, of course, because everyone on the ship knew she’d gotten spanked.” “Sounds like the buildup was part of what made it so sexy,” he observed. “Did all the anticipation of the previous scenes make the actual spanking better for you, or just leave you frustrated?” Josie smiled as she picked up the glass of water the waiter brought when he’d taken their orders. “Oh, the anticipation definitely made it better. Trust me, that book gave my vibrator a real workout.” Gavin’s eyes smoldered. “Mmm, watching you pleasure yourself. Now that’s something I’d enjoy.” Heat pooled between her thighs at his words. Why hadn’t he been able to get her this hot and bothered when they’d dated? She supposed it was because he was no longer the vanilla boyfriend she’d had back then. Unfortunately, the waiter came by with their dinner just then, putting an end to further reflection. “What if the hero had spanked her in front of his crew?” he asked after their server had left. “Would that have been a turn-on?” There was something decidedly sexy about having a conversation regarding something as erotic as spanking in a public place. Even so, Josie glanced at the tables closest to theirs to see if anyone overheard, but no seemed to be paying attention. “Yes.” She looked at him from beneath her lashes as she sprinkled pepper on her tilapia. “In fact, I used to fantasize about what the scene would have been like if he had tied her to the ship’s railing and spanked her in front of his crew.” He silently cut into the steak he’d ordered as he considered that. “The idea of getting spanked in front of an audience arouses you then?” 13

A blush crept into her cheeks. “A little.” “If I put you over my knee, flipped up your skirt and spanked you right here in front of everyone, would that turn you on?” Josie stopped with her fork halfway to her mouth, her pulse skipping a beat. Her pussy throbbed at the image his words conjured and she had to squeeze her thighs together to ease the ache there. “Yes,” she said softly. “Although it would probably get us arrested.” “Probably.” His mouth twitched. “But I want you to fantasize about it the entire time we’re having dinner.” She was a woman obsessed with getting spanked, but not always comfortable telling a guy about her kinky side. Fantasizing was what she did best. So,
while

and talked about

the
dominant/submissive lifestyle, she pictured Gavin ordering her to get up and come around to his side of the table in the middle of the conversation. Blushing hotly, she’d obey his command, going to stand beside his chair. When she got there, he’d scold her for some transgression—real or imaginary—which would get her almost as hot as the spanking itself. Then he’d take her by the hand and guide her over his knee. The restaurant’s patrons would be shocked, of course, but they wouldn’t do anything to stop what was about to happen. Not even when Gavin pushed up her skirt to reveal the tiny bikini panties she wore. He was her dom and she was his submissive. At this moment, he owned her, which meant he could do anything he wanted to her. And they all knew it. Josie stole a glance at the nearby tables, imagining the two businessmen at one and the couple seated at the other watching as Gavin brought his hand down over and over on her upturned ass. She wouldn’t look at them, though, afraid they’d see how flushed with excitement her face was. Then again, they would probably be able to see how excited she was anyway because her panties would be drenched. The image was so vivid Josie’s pussy spasmed. 14
Submission Becomes Her
In her fantasy, Gavin pulled her to her feet with a stern warning never to behave like that again. Then he sent her back to her chair where she had to sit on her red-hot ass for the rest of dinner. Josie fidgeted in her chair as if she really had just gotten spanked. She would have continued daydreaming, but the waiter came to take their empty plates. She was still so caught up in the fantasy that all she could do was shake her head when he asked if she and Gavin wanted coffee and dessert. She hastily sipped her water, afraid that if she didn’t do something to cool off, she might demand that Gavin spank her right there and then. “I just realized,” she said as he signed the credit card receipt a little while later, “that I never asked how you discovered you were into spanking.” He folded his copy and put it in his wallet. “I read about it in a men’s magazine back in college. They had an article about getting kinky in the bedroom with erotic spanking, along with some tips and step-by-step advice on how to do it.” She grinned. “And here I thought men’s magazines were only filled with halfnaked women and the inside scoop on your favorite football team.” “They’re filled with that stuff too. But sometimes they have pretty good articles. And I have to admit, the one about spanking was damn good. It definitely made me want to spank my girlfriend at the time.” Josie felt a ridiculous stab of jealousy at the thought of Gavin spanking anyone but her. “Did you?” He chuckled. “No. I wasn’t sure she’d go for it and I didn’t want her to think I was some kind of depraved creep. I didn’t actually spank a woman until I was with my next girlfriend. She was more adventurous in bed to start with, so I figured she’d be willing to give it a try.” Josie was curious despite her jealousy. “And?”
15

“And it was just as much of a turn-on as I imagined.” He gave her a sexy smile. “Though not nearly as hot as I know spanking you is going to be.” Josie bit her lip to stifle a moan. She desperately wanted to ask Gavin back to her place so she could finally feel that big, strong hand of his on her ass, but her submissive side wanted him to take charge. He must have read her mind because he got to his feet and held out his hand. Her heart beat double time as they left the restaurant, but instead of suggesting they go someplace private so he could spank her, Gavin proposed taking a walk along the Riverfront. Back when they had dated the first time, Josie thought a moonlit stroll was romantic when they’d done it, but right now all she wanted was for him to redden her bottom. She walked hand-in-hand with him past the historical marker signifying General Oglethorpe’s landing and the statue of the Waving Girl, trying hard to hide her impatience. The farther they walked the more deserted the riverwalk got, so the highly coveted gazebo was empty. Unable to pass up the chance to have it all to themselves, she and Gavin strolled over to it. The moment they stepped inside, he pulled her into his arms and kissed her. His mouth was more possessive than she remembered, his hand finding its way into her long hair as he plunged his tongue into her mouth to take ownership of hers. Josie moaned, sliding her hands up to tangle fingers in his hair as she kissed him back. “I’ve been waiting to spank that gorgeous ass of yours since that first day I stood behind you in line at Starbucks,” he said when he finally dragged his mouth away. Josie melted at the softly spoken confession. So he had wanted to spank her when they’d dated the first time around. “I can’t wait any longer,” he rasped, capturing her mouth in another long, intoxicating kiss. “Lift up your skirt and bend over the railing.” She blinked up at him. He couldn’t be serious. “Here? But anyone could walk by and see.” 16
Submission Becomes Her
“That’s what makes it even more of a turn-on.” His dark eyes glinted. “Now, be a good submissive and bend over.” Heart pounding, Josie walked across the gazebo. She slowly lifted up her skirt, then placed both hands on the railing and bent at the waist, obediently sticking out her panty-covered ass. The evening breeze was cool on her skin, and she shivered as much from that as from anticipation. After weeks of getting spanked online by Gavin, she couldn’t wait to experience the real thing. She held her breath as he stepped up behind her and placed one hand on her back. Being held down in place fulfilled her longing to be controlled, and she bit her lip in anticipation. Instead of spanking her right away like she expected, he ran his hand over her derrière, caressing her curves. She sighed as his fingers trailed along the edge of her panties. Perhaps she could wait a little longer for that spanking. Apparently Gavin had waited long enough because he lifted his hand and brought it down with a resounding smack on her right cheek. Josie gasped. But the sound barely escaped her lips before his hand came down again, this time on the opposite cheek. Warmth spread over her skin, along with a sting that left her breathless. She’d thought he would warm her up first, and secretly liked that he hadn’t. The spanks stung more that way. While getting spanked was about giving up control, it was also about the pleasure she got from the pain. The combination of the two was enough to give her the most amazing of orgasms afterward. She arched her back, lifting her ass higher in the air, silently begging for more. She knew a submissive shouldn’t do that, that she should take whatever her dom offered and be content, but she couldn’t help herself. She needed more. And more was precisely what Gavin gave her. He moved back and forth from one cheek to the other, spanking her with such skill that it felt as if he’d been doing it for years. The few men she’d let spank her had fumbled through that first time as if not sure how to really smack a woman’s ass. But Gavin seemed to know exactly what she liked and how she liked it. Every time his hand 17
Paige Tyler
came down on her ass cheeks, her pussy pulsed a little bit more, and she gripped the railing more tightly, afraid she would be tempted to reach down and touch herself. A submissive never did anything like that without permission from her master. Gavin abruptly stopped spanking to cup her stinging bottom and give it a squeeze. Josie moaned. He leaned over and put his mouth to her ear. “Push down your panties for me.” His warm breath tickled her ear, making her quiver. She wanted to shake her head, to tell him she couldn’t bare her bottom in a public place like this, but she couldn’t disobey him. So she did what he commanded. Face as red as she was sure her ass must be, she slowly slid her bikini panties down to mid-thigh, then bent and placed her hands on the railing again. Gavin didn’t spank her immediately, but ran his hand over her ass like he had before. Though his fingers came deliciously close to her pussy, he refused to touch her there, and she had to bite her lip to keep from begging. The torture was both exciting and maddening at the same time, and she didn’t know whether to be relieved or disappointed when he finally took his hand away and began spanking her again. The smacks stung more on bare skin than over her panties and she couldn’t help letting out a little squeal each time his hand connected with her ass cheeks. “No noise,” he warned, punctuating the words with another smack. “Wouldn’t want someone to hear and come over to find you getting spanked, would you?” Josie shook her head. While it would be embarrassing—not to mention awkward— if someone saw her getting her bottom warmed, that wasn’t why she stifled her protest as Gavin delivered a hard spank to the opposite cheek. He had given her a command. She was only too happy to obey. But keeping quiet while he continued to spank her was more of a challenge than she’d thought. Only now it wasn’t squeals of protest she had to hold back, but moans of pleasure. Her pussy tingled so much she was sure she was going to orgasm from the spanking alone. Unfortunately, Gavin stopped before she could find out. 18
Submission Becomes Her
She hoped that meant he intended to bring her to orgasm with his fingers instead, but to her surprise, he took her arm and gently tugged her upright. Her pussy begged for release, but she didn’t dare touch herself without permission. It was one of the things he’d been very strict about when they’d played online. “Time to take you and that very wet pussy of yours home,” he said softly. Josie’s pulse skipped a beat. She didn’t mind trading in a quickie in the gazebo for a night of hot sex in bed. She wiggled her panties up over her hips, moaning as the silky material brushed her freshly spanked ass and teased her sensitive clit. The fifteenminute drive to her apartment was going to be pure torture. Gavin followed in his SUV, pulling into one of the guest spaces in the parking lot. Josie gave him a smile and eagerly hurried up the stairs to her fourth-floor apartment. She would have gone inside the moment she unlocked the door, but Gavin caught her arm. “Were you being honest about everything you said you wanted when we talked online?” he asked. “About wanting to be my submissive in every sense of the word?” She nodded, breathless as much from excitement as from her mad dash up four sets of stairs. “Then you’ll be a good girl and not touch yourself after I kiss you goodnight and leave, right?” She frowned. “Leave? But I thought you were coming in.” He brushed her hair back with gentle fingers. “Not tonight. I want you excited for tomorrow evening.” “What are we doing tomorrow evening?” “Just something special I have planned for you. As long as you do as I say and don’t touch yourself tonight.” He gave her a stern look. “You won’t, will you?” Asking her to not touch herself was like asking her not to breathe. Her clit was throbbing so much she could barely stand there. She squeezed her thighs together.
19

“Josie?” he prompted when she didn’t answer. Gavin had teased her like this online too, ordering her not to masturbate after driving her wild with words. Although she’d never admitted it to him, she was embarrassed to confess she disobeyed more than once by grabbing her vibrator the moment she got off the computer, telling herself he’d never know. But this was different. This time, she couldn’t hide behind her computer. One look at her face and he’d know she disobeyed him. She swallowed hard and shook her head. “I won’t touch myself. I promise.” “Good girl.” He slid his hand in her hair, holding her in place while he thoroughly explored her mouth with his. “I’ll pick you up at seven tomorrow night. This time, don’t wear any panties.” The command, so soft and sexy on the heels of a kiss that already had her weak in the knees, made Josie sway on her feet and she had to grasp the doorjamb to steady herself as Gavin strode down the hallway. Josie waited until he disappeared into the stairwell before going into her apartment. She closed the door and leaned back against it. She wasn’t sure how it could be possible, but she was even more aroused now than she’d been right after the spanking. Knowing she couldn’t touch herself was an extremely potent aphrodisiac. It was also going to make for a very long night.

Submission Becomes Her
Chapter Two Josie almost had to handcuff herself to the headboard to keep from touching her clit. She was pretty sure she couldn’t have unlocked the cuffs come morning even if she held onto the key all night, and she wasn’t about to miss her date with Gavin. So, she lay there in bed staring up at the ceiling, trying not to think about how aroused she was. Which only aroused her even more. She wasn’t sure what time she finally fell asleep, but when she did, she dreamed about Gavin spanking her and woke up as turned-on as she’d been before going to bed. Her cell phone beeped, interrupting her fantasy about Gavin punishing his submissive for touching herself. Not sure whether to be angry with whomever was texting her this early in the morning or thankful they had saved her from giving in and grabbing her vibrator, Josie reached for her phone. Her pulse quickened when she saw the message was from Gavin. Was he checking to see if she’d disobeyed him? She clicked on the message with fingers that were suddenly trembling. I’ve decided I don’t want you wearing panties to work today, either. Josie read the text again. Going without panties on a date was one thing, but not wearing them to work? That definitely wasn’t something she’d ever done before. But she couldn’t refuse. She typed a reply and hit send. As my master commands. When she’d agreed, Josie hadn’t realized how arousing wearing a skirt without any panties actually was. Every time she crossed her legs underneath her desk, her clit reminded her just how aroused she still was. She resisted the urge to touch herself each time she went to the ladies’ room until she finally couldn’t take it anymore and brushed her fingers lightly over her bare pussy. The mere touch of her finger on her clit made
21
Paige Tyler
her whole body tingle, and she caught her lower lip between her teeth to stifle a moan. Just a few circular motions with her finger and she’d go off like a rocket. She snatched her hand away, ashamed at how close she’d come to disobeying Gavin’s command. She leaned against the stall door to catch her breath. Five hours until their date. She could wait that long. She would wait that long. Face flushed, Josie hurried out of the bathroom and back to her desk where she immersed herself in work for the rest of the afternoon. That strategy worked until Gavin texted her just as she was leaving the office. Can’t wait to spank you tonight. Her pussy tingled as she typed a reply. I can’t wait either. See you at seven, was his response. With almost two hours to get ready for their date, Josie had lots of time to figure out what to wear. Since panties weren’t allowed, she didn’t have to stress over them, so she concentrated her efforts on picking out a skirt. After trying on practically every one she owned, she finally went with a short, flirty black skirt that showed off her legs and—if she bent over just the slightest bit—her bare ass, too. She paired it with a sleeveless top and skyscraper heels. As she turned this way and that in front of the mirror, she had to admit she looked pretty damn hot. Gavin clearly must have thought so too, because when she opened the door to let him in, his dark eyes turned positively molten as they caressed her. “You aren’t wearing panties, are you?” he asked. She shook her head. “Show me,” he ordered. Turning around, she looked at him over her shoulder and slowly lifted her skirt. Gavin’s mouth curved in an approving smile. “Good girl.”

Submission Becomes Her
She started to let the skirt fall, but Gavin wrapped his arm around her waist and gave her ass two firm smacks, one to each cheek. “To give you something to think about on the way to dinner,” he said wickedly in her ear. The spanks weren’t nearly as hard as the ones he’d given her last night, but they still left a pleasant tingle behind as she and Gavin walked out to his SUV. That tingle was even more magnified when he made her sit on the leather seat on her bare bottom. She squirmed the minute she climbed in, something he clearly enjoyed very much. “Where are we going?” she asked. He gave her a sidelong glance. “You’ll see.” That only made Josie more curious. She suspected from the secretive grin on his handsome face they must be going to the same romantic little restaurant he’d taken her to on their first date, so she was surprised when he pulled up in front of his condo instead. She smiled. This was way more romantic than any restaurant. As Gavin led her inside, it occurred to her he’d probably brought her here so he could spank her before they went to dinner. While she was hungry, she could wait to eat if it meant she was going to get that spanking he promised. Hopefully followed by mad monkey sex this time. But Gavin surprised her again by pouring a glass of wine, then getting to work in the kitchen making dinner. Clearly, they were going to have dinner first. “Can I help?” she asked. “Just sit there and look spankable.” He flashed her a grin “Not too spankable, though, or I won’t be able to make dinner.” Josie laughed. She wasn’t exactly sure how to look “spankable”, but she must have been doing it right because in between chopping the peanuts for the chicken pad Thai he was making and talking to her about the latest project he was involved in at work, he

gave her smoldering looks that had her wishing he’d forget about dinner and just spank her already. But he didn’t. As they ate dinner, she was amazed at how they could sit across from each other and talk about everyday things when they both knew he was going to be reddening her ass later. It was turning her on like crazy, and she was pretty sure it was doing the same to him. Gavin, however, appeared to be in complete control of the situation—and her. Everything he did, from the drawn-out dinner prep to the casual dinner conversation, seemed designed to push her closer to the edge. And he hadn’t even touched her yet. Josie was half-afraid Gavin was going to do the dishes after they ate just to keep her waiting even more, and she was relieved when he took her hand and pulled her to her feet instead. “I think it’s about time I spank that bare ass of yours, don’t you?” She started to agree, but he closed his mouth over hers before she could get the words out. She looped her arms around his neck, parting her lips to give his tongue an all-access pass to hers. His hands slid down her back to cup her ass through her skirt, fitting their bodies together. His cock strained against the front of his jeans, pressing into her tummy, and she moaned at the feel of it. He slid his hand under her skirt to run his finger along her slit. “You’re very wet.” She sighed against his mouth. “I’ve been that way since last night.” He lifted his head to gaze down at her. “You didn’t touch yourself, did you?” She looked away. ”No.” “Josie?” Something about the way he said her name made her lift her head. His eyes were reproving. “Did you disobey me?”
24
Submission Becomes Her
“No,” she said quickly. Maybe too quickly, she thought when he arched a brow. She flushed. “I lightly ran my finger over my clit in the ladies’ room at work.” “Did you make yourself come?” She shook her head. “It was just one little touch.” Josie caught her lower lip between her teeth and looked away again. Gavin had given her an order, trusting she would obey it, and she’d let him down. Ashamed didn’t even begin to cover it. Gavin slipped his fingers under her chin, gently tilting her face up. “You know what this means, don’t you?” “No.” “It means that I’m going to have to spank you extra hard.” She sagged with relief. She’d been afraid he wasn’t going to spank her at all. An extra-hard spanking was a small price to pay, and fitting punishment for what she’d done. Not to mention guaranteed to get her very, very aroused. Gavin took her hand and led her down the small hallway to his bedroom. It was masculine almost to the extreme, and dominated by the same huge king-size bed they’d first had sex in. Back then, though, there hadn’t been a paddle, a strap and bondage gear sitting atop the coverlet. Thinking what it would be like to be bound and totally at the mercy of a man wielding a paddle made her stomach do somersaults. Bondage was going to be a new experience for her, and she couldn’t imagine a more perfect man to initiate her than Gavin. “Take off your clothes, Josie,” he commanded. Even though she’d undressed for Gavin before, something about doing it at his order had her blushing like a virgin as she took off her top. Unclasping her bra, she slid the strap off one shoulder, then the other before letting it fall to the floor at her feet. Gavin’s gaze caressed her bare breasts in obvious appreciation and she had to resist the urge to reach up and give her rapidly hardening nipples a squeeze.

Taking a deep breath, she unzipped her skirt and slowly wiggled it over her hips until it joined the rest of her clothes on the floor. Extremely aware of Gavin’s eyes on her, she bent to take off her shoes, but his voice stopped her. “Leave them on.” She straightened up. Standing before him wearing nothing but a pair of high heels might make her feel like the sexiest woman in the world, but the look in Gavin’s eyes made her believe she really was. Without a word, he snaked his hand in her hair and with a firm but gentle tug, tilted her head back. The show of dominance made her go gooey inside and she gripped the front of his shirt for support as he claimed her mouth in a scorching kiss. “Tonight, and for every night after, you’re going to be my submissive when we’re in this room, and I will be your master,” he rasped. “Is that understood?” “Yes,” she panted. “Say it,” he demanded. “Tonight, and for every night after, I will be your submissive when we’re in this room,” she promised. “And you will be my master.” The words were a vow, and as she said them, Josie knew they tied her to Gavin as completely as if they were married. Taking her hand, he picked up one of the leather cuffs from the bed and slipped it over her wrist, tightening it so that it fit snuggly. Then he did the same with her other wrist. Her heart was beating so loudly she was sure he must be able to hear it, but he made no comment as he led her over to the foot of the bed. Turning her to face it, he put his hand on her back and bent her over the bed. She wondered if he was going to cuff her hands behind her back with the sturdy-looking hooks that were attached to the leather. The image sent a quiver through her. But he instructed her to put her hands above her head. She started to ask why, but remembered the vow she’d made and caught herself. She rested her cheek on the
26
Submission Becomes Her
coverlet and obediently placed her arms out in front of her on the bed. Gavin took her right wrist and slid her arm closer to the edge of the bed. A moment later, she heard a click as he attached something to the leather cuff. Or rather, attached the cuff to something on the bed. She automatically gave her wrist a tug, but it wouldn’t give. That was when she saw the strap hanging over the side of the bed. It was some kind of restraint system, she realized as Gavin secured her other wrist to the opposite side of the bed. She gave that one a tug too, but it was just as tightly bound as the other. “Spread your legs,” he said softly. Josie was so busy thinking about the restraints on her wrists, she didn’t realize Gavin had come around the bed to stand in back of her. Afraid he would think she’d forgotten her place already, she quickly spread her legs. It was only after she did that she realized just how vulnerable she was in that position, and as Gavin fit the leather cuffs around her ankles, she had to fight the urge to close her legs. She expected him to secure them to the bed the same way he’d done with her wrists, but instead she felt him attach something to the inside of the cuff around her right ankle. When he did the same to the cuff on the left one, she realized it was some kind of bar designed to keep her legs spread. If she’d thought she felt vulnerable before, that was nothing compared to how helpless and exposed she felt now. It had her so wet, she was practically gushing. She sensed Gavin straighten up behind her. She automatically tensed, waiting for him to reach for either the paddle or the leather strap—both of which were still on the bed and in view. But he only ran his hand over the curve of her ass. Then gave it a firm squeeze. Josie let out a moan, only to gasp in surprise when Gavin lifted his hand and delivered a sharp smack to her right cheek. It was quickly followed by another, this time on the opposite cheek. Unlike last night, he moved back and forth with a methodical slowness. That made sense, considering they didn’t have to worry about someone coming along and interrupting them as they had on the Riverfront. This
27
Paige Tyler
wasn’t going to be the quickie spanking he’d given her then, either. The mere idea that he might keep her tied up and tied down like this while he spanked her for hours on end was enough to make her come right then. She’d been on the edge of orgasm for so long, it certainly wouldn’t be difficult. Especially since she could grind her clit on the bed so easily in this position. But she wouldn’t come without Gavin giving her permission. So she concentrated on the spanking instead. She focused on the sting of his hand and the heat spreading over her ass. He was smacking her harder now, the slaps finding the tender area of her sit spots. If her legs weren’t secured to the spreader bar, she would have danced from foot to foot, but all she could do was wriggle on the bed, and even that was only as much as the cuffs around her wrists would allow. She could only imagine how she would react when Gavin used the paddle and the strap on her. When he abruptly stopped spanking her, she thought she was about to find out, but Gavin surprised her by massaging her freshly spanked cheeks. He’d obviously remembered when she’d mentioned online that she wanted a dom who was as kind and caring as he was firm. She sighed and lifted up on her toes, pushing her ass higher in the air. Gavin slipped his hand between her legs, gliding his fingers along the folds of her pussy. Josie moaned. “Does that feel good?” he asked. “Mm-hmm.” He circled his finger around her clit once, then twice. “I could make you come right now if I wanted to, couldn’t I?” “Yes,” she breathed. He chuckled, soft and sexy. “But I don’t want to. Not yet.” She bit her lip to keep from protesting when he took his hand away. Then she saw him reach for the paddle and all thought of begging him to keep touching her
28
Submission Becomes Her
disappeared. Of all the spanking implements out there, the paddle was definitely her favorite. This one was made of leather instead of wood, which she preferred. While she’d had guys use one on her before, she instinctively knew Gavin would be better at giving a paddling than anyone. She almost writhed on the bed waiting to find out if she was right. Gavin didn’t keep her waiting. Instead, he brought it down on her ass with a smack that echoed in the room and left her breathless for the next one. When it came she thought she might actually have moaned with pleasure. She couldn’t be sure, though, because all she could hear was the sound of the leather smacking against her ass as he went back and forth from cheek to cheek. The rhythm was so mesmerizing she didn’t realize he’d stopped until she felt him caressing her red-hot ass with his hand. She caught her breath. The sting left behind from the paddle now seemed even more intense than when he’d spanked her. Or maybe the massage he was giving her just made it seem that way. Whatever it was, she liked it. He delved between her spread legs with his free hand, running one finger along her pussy before sliding it deep inside and fucking her with it. Josie inhaled sharply. She’d forgotten how good he was at doing that. And when he did it while rubbing her ass, it was even more pleasurable. Being bound hand and foot might also have a little something to do with it. If only Gavin and she had done this the first time around. He pulled his finger out of her pussy to focus his attention on her clit. This time, he didn’t tease her though. Instead, he made circular motions on the sensitive nub over and over. She ground against his hand, panting for breath. Just a little more of what he was doing and she would climax for sure. To her dismay, though, he stopped, leaving her on the edge, refusing to send her over. She whimpered. “You weren’t about to come without my permission, were you?” he asked.

It took a moment for his question to register, and when it did, she realized how close she’d come to disobeying him again. “No,” she lied. “Good. Because then I’d have to add to the punishment you already earned for touching yourself at work today.” That wouldn’t be such a bad thing. Then again, she thought as he picked up the leather strap, that thing did look wicked. She’d never been strapped before, and while her pussy spasmed at the mere thought, she’d be lying if she didn’t say she was a little nervous at the same time. But she trusted Gavin completely. He would never spank her harder than she could take. He grabbed a handful of her hair and gently tilted her head back, then held the strap out. “Kiss it.” She obediently pursed her lips and pressed them to the leather. It was softer and more supple than she’d thought. “Good girl.” Leaning over, he kissed her hard on the mouth. “This strapping is for disobeying me and touching yourself when I expressly told you not to.” Since he already had the strap set out on the bed, he’d obviously intended to use it on her anyway, but being punished for her transgression played perfectly into her fantasies. Something else he remembered from their online chats. Josie held her breath, waiting expectantly for the first lash, but it didn’t come. Thanks to the way she was tied down, she couldn’t see behind her. But she could sense him standing there, gazing at her. It made her even more aware of the fact that she was naked and on display. She squirmed on the bed, unable to help herself. That must have been what Gavin was waiting for because a moment later, the leather strap came down across her right cheek. The sting it left was unlike any paddle she’d ever felt, and she cried out. The leather slapped against the other cheek just as hard. She yelped again. Damn, that thing stung. But she loved it, and as he brought it down on her ass, she thought she might be in heaven. While she would always have a 30
Submission Becomes Her
special affinity for a good old-fashioned paddle, the strap might just be her new favorite toy. She went up on tiptoe, lifting her ass higher, and was rewarded with another lash. If this was her punishment for disobeying her dom’s orders, she would have to be naughty on a regular basis. The leather smacked her ass again, wrapping around to kiss her hip. She cried out at the incomparable combination of pleasure and pain, yanking at the cuffs holding her captive to the bed. Thank goodness Gavin had tied her down because she wasn’t sure she’d be able to stay in position no matter how hard she tried. Josie wasn’t sure how many times Gavin strapped her, but by the time he tossed the folded piece of leather on the bed, her ass was on fire and her pussy was screaming for his touch. Gavin cupped a flaming ass cheek in each hand and gave them a firm squeeze. Tingles raced through her, practically making her see stars, and she gasped as she felt him press a kiss to her red-hot derrière. The stubble on his jaw scraped against her tender skin, making her shiver, and she moaned. If he didn’t touch her pussy soon she was going to explode. “Please,” she whimpered. “Please, what?” “Please touch me.” He ran his finger along her folds. “Here?” “Yes,” she breathed. His finger brushed her clit. “What about here?” She sighed. “There too.” “Or I could just do this.”

Josie was sure that was his way of saying he was going to spank her some more, but instead, she felt his tongue on her pussy. The sensation was even more intense than usual, and she jumped. Gavin tightened his grip on her ass, holding her in place. She clutched the coverlet in her hands, expecting to immediately go off like a rocket. But Gavin knew exactly how to keep her on the edge without sending her over. He glided his tongue up one fold then down the other, swirling it around her clit in between, then repeating the sequence over again. She tugged at the cuffs, trying to grind against him, but his hold on her ass made even the slightest movement impossible, and she had to be content with taking whatever pleasure he gave her. The knowledge that he would decide to make her orgasm when, and only when, he chose to was a huge turn-on. “You’re close to coming, aren’t you?” he asked, his voice husky. “Yes!” “I’d better stop licking your pussy then because I’m not ready for you to come just yet.” Josie groaned. It took every ounce of willpower she possessed not to beg, and she wished Gavin had gagged her as well as tied her up. Somehow, though, she forced herself to lie there submissively as Gavin kissed and nibbled her still-tingling ass while her juices ran down her inner thighs. It heightened her arousal, so much so that she was sure she would go insane if he didn’t lick her pussy again soon. She thought Gavin would never take pity on her, but after pressing one more kiss to her ass, he glided his tongue down her wet slit. The feel of his mouth on her clit after so much excruciating teasing was almost more than she could take and she moaned deep in her throat. He couldn’t bring her to the brink of climax, then not let her go all the way this time. He wouldn’t. She was so close now that even if he stopped, she would come anyway.
32
Submission Becomes Her
But he didn’t stop. This time he lashed her clit mercilessly with his tongue. Pleasure surged through her and she cried out, writhing on the bed and tugging so hard at the cuffs she thought she might actually get free. Gavin only gripped her ass more tightly and lapped at her pussy until she was dizzy. She grabbed the coverlet in her fists, sure if she didn’t hold onto something she’d slide off the bed into a puddle on the floor despite the cuffs keeping her prisoner. She lay limp afterward, too tired to do more than that. She’d never come so hard from oral sex before. How could being tied up and spanked drive her so wild? Josie was dimly aware of movement behind her as Gavin stripped off his clothes. His jeans and shirt fell to the floor with a thud. Then she heard the sound of a condom wrapper. Her pussy squeezed and she wished she could press her thighs together to ease the throbbing. But the spreader bar holding her legs open made that impossible. All she could do was wait for Gavin to slide in. When he took hold of her hips, she thought he would do just that. After the blissful torture Gavin had subjected her to earlier, she should have known he wouldn’t fuck her without teasing her first. He rubbed the head of his cock up and down her slit with agonizing slowness. She whimpered, trying to push back against him. He smacked her ass. Hard. “Behave yourself or I’ll stop right now and leave you here all night.” Josie whimpered again as she pictured herself tied to the bed all night, her pussy screaming for release. Surely Gavin wouldn’t be so merciless. But even as she tried to tell herself that, she knew she was wrong. The old Gavin she’d dated wouldn’t have been. This new and improved version of her boyfriend on the other hand would almost certainly make good on his promise and leave her bound hand and foot to the bed all night if it meant teaching her obedience.

The knowledge that he had complete control over her made her tremble with a fresh surge of excitement. But as much of a turn-on as that thought was, it paled in comparison to having him inside her, so she forced herself to stay still while he continued to tease her. He glided the tip of his erection along her slick folds, then pushed the head into her wet opening ever so gently. Josie caught her breath, waiting for him to enter her completely, but he didn’t. Instead, he teased her with the head of his penis, moving in and out until she thought she would lose her mind. When he finally stopped teasing her and plunged deep inside her pussy, she cried out in relief. Gavin’s cock pulsed hot and hard inside her, evidence of how aroused he was. She never remembered him feeling this good—this perfect—in her pussy, but tonight they fit together as if they’d been made for each other. She moaned into the coverlet as he slowly moved inside her. He slid all the way out, then plunged deep, the tip of his penis touching her in that secret place she was sure no man had ever touched before. It took her breath away. Something suddenly smacked against her ass, startling her. She gasped as she realized it was the leather strap. It stung more than it had before. Gavin lashed one cheek then the other in time with his thrusts, pumping into her forcefully with every smack. The combination of sensations was mind-blowing and Josie clenched the coverlet more tightly. She didn’t know if it was possible to pass out from pleasure, but as Gavin fucked her harder and harder, she was sure she was on the verge of doing just that. Josie didn’t pass out, though. In fact, she was completely and blissfully aware of everything Gavin was doing to her. She didn’t ever want him to stop. Tossing the strap on the bed, Gavin gripped her hips tightly in both hands, pounding into her hard and fast. Ecstasy unlike anything she’d ever experienced washed over her and she cried out as her pussy spasmed around him. Gavin surged 34
Submission Becomes Her
into her, burying his cock as deeply as it could go. From the hoarse groan he let out, she knew he was coming with her. The realization she pleased him as much as he pleased her made her orgasm that much better. Josie was only dimly aware of Gavin releasing her from the spreader bar, then uncuffing her wrists. Once free, she didn’t move, but instead lay there draped over the bed until Gavin helped her to her feet. Turning her in his arms, he cupped her chin in his big hand, then kissed her long and slow on the mouth. Without a word, he swung her up in his arms and set her down on the bed, then settled himself beside her. She snuggled against his chest, her ass still delightfully warm and her pussy well-pleasured. She knew she’d be a little sore tomorrow, but she’d never been happier. “That was even more incredible than I’d dreamed,” she said softly. “For me too,” he admitted. “I can’t believe how close we came to missing out on this all because we were both too afraid to admit we like spanking.” She trailed her finger up and down his muscular chest. Or how close she’d come to walking out on it again at the restaurant last night. “If we hadn’t reconnected on the net, we never would have known how perfect we are for each other.” “Don’t I know it.” Gavin pressed a kiss to the top of her head. “Let’s make sure not to mess it up this time.” “We won’t.” She crawled up his chest to press her lips to his. “Here’s to getting it right the second time around.”
