Chapter 8
From the text messages of Hailey Marks and William Saunders
Hailey: Hey! I was wondering if we were going to grab dinner out or if I should eat before we go?
William: You should eat something before we go, and I’ll bring some snacks, too. I’m not sure if where we’re going has food or not.
Hailey: Well, if you give me our destination details, I could check that out…
William: No way, woman. Tonight is for surprises.
Hailey: All right, but are they fancy surprises or casual surprises? I love a mystery as much as the next girl, but I don’t want to get in trouble for being underdressed again.
William: Jeans and a T-shirt will be fine, but bring a jacket. The nights are getting colder, and we’ll be outside for most of the evening.
Hailey: Gotcha. And what about a bra? Should I wear one of those?
William: If you would like to avoid getting ravished the second you climb into the truck, I would advise it. There are limits to even my self-control, sweetheart.
Hailey: I’ll take that under advisement, sir.
William: I told you, I’m not into the “sir” thing full time. I like to top in the bedroom, but most of the time I’m just me. No special treatment required.
Hailey: I know. I was just testing the “sir” out…
Seeing how it feels…
William: And how does it feel, Curious?
Hailey: It feels good, Discreet.
Exciting. Sexy.
William: Maybe you shouldn’t put on that bra, after all…
Hailey: LOL. I’m putting on a bra. I’m excited about our field trip and don’t want us to be late. Besides, we have time. We’re only two days into our six-week course.
William: True. But time flies when you’re having fun.
I want you to have fun tonight, okay? Just relax and go with the flow and let me take the lead. I’ll take care of you, no matter what. I promise.
Hailey: You always do.
See in you in an hour?
William: See you then, sexy.
Oh, and Hailey…
Hailey: Yes, Will?
William: Your safe word is ninja.
Hailey: Am I going to need a safe word tonight?
William: Not sure, but I believe in being prepared.
Hailey: I know you do. It’s one of the things I like best about you.
Off to write “ninja” on a Post-It note so I won’t forget ;).
William: You won’t forget.
Hailey: You’re right. I won’t. See you soon, sir.
William: Soon, Cat.
