Starting Over

8.

"Annndd you are done and you look fantastic"

Bria sings as she spins me to look in the mirror she's curled my hair perfectly I smile as I carefully look at my makeup she listened to exactly what I wanted which was dressy but minimal makeup the last thing I need is sweating my eyebrows off with nerves. I finish my glass of wine as the doorbell goes

"Perfect timing"

I say heading towards the door collecting my bag and coat on the way

"Look after her. Use protection. No means NO. Have her back safely if not here then in your bed I want a text message when you're home and god please don't be sick on him"

Bria says giving us both our orders I nod as I blush hiding my face from Hunter who gives a full teeth grin at her

"Yes boss. She's safe with me however I will ensure you are updated by either one of us"

He tells her reaching out his arm for me which I shyly link arms with him I wave to Bria as we head to his car I let out a shaky breath as he heads to his side after ensuring I was safely in the car.

"Ready for the best date of your life"

He asks I grin at him and nod my head

"Yes sir blow me away"

I tell him he nods turning on the music and heading into the night. After a long drive we pull into a carpark of a restaurant

"Do you own this"

I ask him as he helps me out and he car

"Yep it was the first place I bought it holds a very special place in my heart"

He tells me as he leads us inside

"Sir you're table is ready"

The older gentlemen says leading us to a secluded table away from everyone else. The waiter brings us our drinks and takes our food order.

"Before we start anything Arabella I need to be completely honest with you. I'm into a certain type of relationship"

He says my eyes widen

"Like what?"

I ask his eyes darken as he shifts in his seat clearly uncomfortable.

"I am a Dom I like having a sub and it's not often subs turn into girlfriends"

He says my eyes must be ready to pop out my head as I choke on my wine.

"What like Mr grey"

He shakes his head

"No I don't agree with those books or films that's not completely what a Dom/sub relationship is like and it can give some people the wrong impression."

He says

"Do you have a red room"

I ask with a smirk a strange tingle between my legs. He notices and raises his eyebrow as he looks me up and down.

"I do yes. I also own bdsm clubs for people to meet others with the same lifestyle and it's a safe place for people to live out their fantasies."

Shock must be all over my face as the waiter places our starters down bringing us back to reality.

"I'm aware of the bdsm community and different types of kinks etc but I don't get it all"

I tell him honestly. I can't believe I am able to comfortably have this conversation with him. The conversation shifts as the restaurant gets busier after we finish our food we head out to the car.

"So Arabella I have two options for you. I can drop you home and we forget about this-"

My heart sinks and that's the moment I know I'm going to take option two no matter that it is

"Or you can come back to mine and we discuss everything and decide where to go from there"

I blush and quietly reply

"Yours please"

A huge grin takes over his face as he pulls out onto the busy road heading towards his home the opposite direction of mine. Here goes nothing.
