dresser and opened a couple of drawers. There definitely weren’t just sheets in there.
    Wow.
    I let my fingers linger over the items. The idea of being spanked had my pulse racing. One item in particular drew my eye—a dark red paddle. I ran my hands along it, finding it furry and soft. That couldn’t really hurt, right?
    Ren had moved closer—to see what had captured my attention, I assumed.
    “You like this one, do you?” Ren picked it up.
    It wasn’t just fur—the other side was leather. Ren slapped his hand with the paddle and I jumped, my fingers going to my throat. My pulse still raced but I wanted to feel that against my skin.
    Was I really going to do this? One of my biggest fantasies was to be tied down and have someone spank my ass. It was all vague in my imagination as I didn’t have any experience to draw from. Porn wasn’t to my taste—I didn’t like to watch it because it seemed so fake. I’d read things about spanking and role playing. But reading about how the burn of a good paddling might feel against my skin was something I could have only imagined in the past with no reference. I had no idea how to make the fiction into a reality. Tonight could be my time to figure out what I really wanted, what I needed to make me whole.
    I turned my body into Ren’s .
    “I don’t know about all this.” I waved my hand around the room and gulped, still unsure if I could go through with whatever he wanted from me. I needed him to reassure me.
    “Trust me.” He gazed into my eyes steadily, not wavering for even an instant. I burned for him.
    “I don’t know you,” I managed to get out.
    “But you will.” He ran a hand along my side, soothing me like he would a skittish colt. “Have I done anything you’ve opposed to? You can always use your safe word. Are you ready to quit?” He continued to stroke me. He put the paddle on the dresser and used both hands to calm me down.
    I didn’t want to disappoint him, because it wasn’t in my nature. I lived to please and I wanted to make the man in front of me happy. But I still didn’t know anything about him—only his name. Could I really turn myself completely over to him? I couldn’t stop thinking. That was one of my problems—my thoughts wouldn’t shut off.
    Except for in the hallway.
    My mind had closed down and I could only feel. He did that for me. I looked up at him in awe when I realised that this stranger had given me something that no other lover had been able to. The bliss of silence.
    “N—” I tried again. “No. I want this.”
    “Good girl. Why don’t you go sit on the bed.”
    Ren moved to a mini fridge that I hadn’t seen before. He took out a two bottles of water and handed one to me. He was giving me time to adjust to the situation. I may not know him, but he somehow knew me.
    I tugged off the cap and took a small drink. The liquid felt good going down. I used the bottle to cool my burning face.
    Ren took the bottle from my hand and put it on the dresser alongside his. He held out his hands and I took them in mine and stood as he moved me away from the bed until we were in the middle of the room. Just the two of us.
    I spread my legs shoulder-width apart and clasped my hands behind my back. It was the pose he’d asked me to take in the hallway. I must have pleased him because he gave a little hum and circled my body. He took my shoulders and squared them, so I was straight and tall. He ran his hands down my leg. I couldn’t see what he was doing, but he made me unlock my knees. Probably a good thing—I really didn’t want to pass out.
    Ren completed his journey and faced me. His touch was strong and firm, but surprisingly tender. I wasn’t sure what I really expected.
    “Do you have anything important in your pockets?” he asked.
    I nodded.
    “Speak to me, Elli. I want to hear you.”
    “Sorry.”
    “Don’t apologise. Just tell me,” he chided.
    “Yes. My wallet and my cell phone.” I swallowed.
    “Good.”
