He gently runs a finger over one of the small buns in my hair and grins. “I like these.” His finger slides down the column of my throat before it glides over one of my nipples. “And this.” Now both of his hands are on the bare skin of my sides as they drag down the soft leather of my skirt. His left hand tugs lightly at the material. “And I really fucking like this. I don’t know whether to put you over my knee and spank the shit out of you for looking so tempting. Or slide my fingers into your tight pussy and reward you for looking so good for daddy.”

I swallow loudly. “Both?” I ask, and he laughs. His laugh always shoots straight to my core. It’s deep and gravelly, and I don’t think anyone gets this same side of Dax that I do, this carefree, happy, and giving side. I know it’s quick, but it seems like we both reward ourselves with the most intimate and best sides of each other.

“I’ll drive, babe.” I nod my head and drop my keys into his large palm. We walk over to my garage and he opens the passenger door for me. His hand is tenderly splayed on my lower back as he watches me climb into the seat. He shuts the door and rounds the vehicle, and gets into the driver’s seat. He adjusts the seat back and the mirrors before he starts the engine. I hit the garage door button for him as he reverses out of the driveway. As soon as we’re on the open road, he has one hand on the steering wheel, and the other one resting protectively on my thigh.

“Have you been to a club like this before?”

“No,” I reply, feeling a little inferior. His thumb rubs circles on my inner thigh as he talks and pays attention to the road.

“I haven’t specifically been to Inferno, but I’ve been to other clubs before. What I’ve heard about Inferno seems pretty commonplace in other clubs. When we get there as partners you get a wristband to designate what you are interested in. White means you’re there to watch and you’re open. Blue is for submissive looking for doms, Red is for doms looking for subs. I believe they use purple here for switches. If you’re only interested in playing with your partner, your wristband will be white and whatever designation you decide. This lets other people know you are not interested in playing with them.”

“Okay,” I reply, trying to remember all the color combinations.

“We will have partner bands showing that I’m your dom and you’re my submissive. These terms are loose in these clubs, but it helps give you more protection. While we are there, I don’t want you talking to anyone who isn’t me, Kas, or Asmo.”
