Control

The Past

----------

We arrived at his house 25 minutes later. The drive was quiet and neither of us had said anything the whole way. I guess we were both anticipating the conversation that we were going to have in a few. He lived in the quieter parts of the city where the rent for each condo was too much for me to even comprehend. At least he was doing well for himself. Most of my other Doms were also not lacking in the money department, but I promise I am not a gold digger it just so happens to be this way. 

Most of the Doms I met loved to take care of their Subs so it didn't surprise me that they had a little bit more money than the average person would. It also didn't surprise me that he lived in such a luxurious condo. He pulled into the underground parking for the condos and parked his car in his designated parking space. I waited in the car for him to open the door for me and the memory from a few years ago popped into my mind of when he took me to my showcase, and he made sure he opened the door for me. So back then when I thought I heard him say "With me you don't", it wasn't just my ears tricking me. 

His actions and everything from back then make so much sense now. I got to wondering about Malakai's past. I guess that it should be something that I should ask him when we have our talk. It hasn't even been 24 hours since we met each other again and I'm sure we did many things out of order from the beginning. We really needed to sit down and talk before things got any further. We let our emotions and lust get the best of us. 

Malakai opened the passenger side door and helped me out of the car. I thanked him and I expected him to let my hand go but he didn't. He just intertwined our fingers together and pulled me along behind him and headed towards the elevator. The ride up to his floor was quiet but comfortable. When the elevator dinged Malakai squeezed my hand. I guess that was his way of giving us both courage to move forward with whatever would happen soon. He led me towards his door and unlocked it. 

We walked through the door that opened up to a small hallway leading to the rest of the house. When we broke through the hallway my jaw dropped. The view was gorgeous. The hallway led to the living room that gave a beautiful view of the city. It was dark already and the lights of the other buildings added to the beauty. His condo had a loft and there were as few other doors that were on the first floor. The kitchen was across the living room and the island separated the two. It was a really nice space that I saw so far. 

"You can have a seat on the couch. I'll get us something to drink while we talk." I got comfortable on the couch. A little disappointed that he hadn't given me a tour of the house but I guess that could wait for later. We did have a lot to talk about. He walked back over with two glasses of water and handed one to me and I thanked him, and took a seat on the other couch across from me.

"Okay so as you know we have a lot to talk about, but first I think we should get to know each other a little bit better and talk about our experiences. Now is the time to get everything out, Nyra. I do not mind if I find stuff out later but right now is the best time for us to talk about everything before we get too deep." I nodded my head at him. I understood where he was coming from. Relationships built on secrets would not benefit us especially since our relationship has to be solely built on trust for us to even attempt any plays.

"Yes I get it. Would you like me to go first?" He shook his head no.

"No, I will go first." I was surprised because all of the other Doms would only talk about themselves after they deemed me a good fit when I told them everything about myself. Malakai got comfortable.

"My parents always had a good relationship and to this day they still do as I'm sure you know." And I did because Mr. and Mrs. Jackson were always so welcoming of me and they always treated me like another one of their children. Just like my parents I knew that they had much love between them and for their family. "And seeing them together I told myself that I wanted a love like theirs, and to this day I still do." I wasn't really sure where he was going with this but I just listened to him talk, his deep voice somehow calming me.
