She shrugged, “… but he kissed me and I melted. That’s all it takes. I don’t have any control.”
I looked at her. “Why did you make up that story about signing papers?”
“I don’t know, I had to tell you something. I was afraid you were going to walk out. I guess I’m used to lying about my infidelity.”
“You made me get down on my knees and apologize when I challenged the story.”
Veronica got very quiet. It was apparent that she was thinking about this. Finally she sighed and said, “It felt like the beginning of one of the fights I used to have with my ex-husbands. It brought up old anger.”
She looked at me. “Why did you apologize?”
I smiled. “I guess it reminded me of the situation with my ex-wife. I tried so hard to make amends to her for losing my temper that afternoon.”
“You were justified when you got mad. She was cheating on you.”
“Is that really the worst thing in the world?”
Veronica stared at me in silence.
“She slept with that man, but I don’t think she loved him. She never married him.”
I laughed but it was a nervous laugh, “She eventually did marry someone else, but only after we’d been separated for a very long time.” I lowered my voice to a whisper. “I have spent so many nights wishing that when I walked into that bedroom I would have just turned around, went back downstairs, made myself wait until they were done fucking. I’d like to know if we could have made it work. I would have been very willing to let her have an occasional fling.”
We were both quiet for a moment and then I looked up at Veronica. “There was another reason that I apologized.”
Veronica studied me. I smiled at her.
She gave a knowing nod.
I grinned at her. “You know what I’m talking about.”
Now she was smiling. She licked her lips, “Tell me, I want to hear you say it.”
“Do I really have to? You were the one who made me get down on my knees?”
Veronica stared at me. The smile on her face turned into a grin as she said, “You did it.”
“Yes I did and we both enjoyed it didn’t we?” I took a deep breath. “You also made me wipe that man’s semen off of your bed sheets and then you made me tidy your bed.”
“That was exciting wasn’t it?”
“I think it may have been the most exciting thing I have ever done in my entire life.”
Veronica started giggling again. “I actually got wet when I saw you cleaning up James’s cum.”
“So where does this leave us?”
“I still want to hear you say it.”
“What?”
“You know.”
“You’re really going to make me do this?”
She laughed. “This is only the first of many things that I intend to make you do.”
My entire body started tingling with excitement. I felt like I was perched at the edge of a great cliff. I took a deep breath and jumped over the side, “Veronica Waterman I am willing to submit to your will.”
Veronica reached out and grabbed my hand. “Dougie call the waiter and pay the bill. It’s time for you to show me where you live.”
