“In siently as he could, seeing from her pinched expression that the idea didn’t thrill her “But it’sworavitated to, but the BDSM lifestyle, as I learned froivesin control and caring about people”
Chloe hesitated, eyes pinched “Inspouses, I’ve seen all types of BDSM So what kind of kinky are we talking here? Dog collars? Hu feet?”
Sawyer fought not to smile but lost “Unless you like your feet licked, then no, that’s nothow best to explain his world to a vanilla wo What I enjoy is an erotic and lighter form of BDSM”
