“Oh.” Ana looks disappointed.
“You want to tie me up?” I ask.
I’m not sure I could do that…not yet, anyway.
Ana blushes. “Well.”
“Ana, I—” That would mean complete loss of control, and total surrender. I offered that to her once before, and she didn’t want it. I’m not sure I could deal with that kind of rejection from her again. Besides, I’ve only just learned to tolerate—no, revel—in her touch. I don’t want to derail that.
“Christian,” she whispers, and scrambles up so she’s facing me. She places her palm on my cheek. “Christian, stop. It doesn’t matter. I thought that’s what you meant.”
Taking her hand, I place it on my chest, where beneath my skin and bone my heart is hammering with my anxiety. “Ana, I don’t know how I’d feel about you touching me if I were restrained.”
Her eyes grow wider.
“This is still too new.” I’m confessing my darkest fears to her again.
Ana leans toward me, and I don’t know what she’s going to do, but she kisses the corner of my mouth. “Christian, I got the wrong idea. Please don’t worry about it. Please don’t think about it.” She kisses me again, and I close my eyes and kiss her back, hungrily. I grab the back of her head, holding her in place, and press her into the mattress, banishing my demons as I do.

And I pull against the restraints as the flogger sings its song across my belly. Fuck. She’s going lower. The pain will be hard to take. I steel myself. Waiting. Ana stands over me. She’s
Opening my eyes, I find I’m wrapped around Ana like swaddling, my head on her chest. My gray eyes meet sparkling summer blue. “Hi,” I murmur, delighted to see her.
“Hi.” My joy is mirrored in her face.
I kiss her there as the rest of my body wakes…fully. My hand skims over her hip. “What a tempting morsel you are,” I mutter. “But, tempting though you are”—the radio alarm reads 7:30—“I have to get up.” Reluctantly, I disentangle myself from my wife and climb out of bed. She puts her hands behind her head and watches me as I strip, teasing her top lip with her tongue.
“Admiring the view, Mrs. Grey?”
“It’s a mighty fine view, Mr. Grey.” Her mouth twists into a smug grin, so I throw my pajama pants at her.
She catches them,

It’s a stimulating sound, and I lean down and start a path of kisses from her
Good morning, Ana.
Ah! She groans.
Mrs. Jones is busying herself in the kitchen when I stroll in. “Good morning, Mr. Grey. Coffee?”
