dominant guy would surely be the ultimate bad boy. Wouldn’t he? Well hell, if I was going to do this I wanted to do it properly.
    ‘OK, and in this relationship were you the dominant partner or the submissive one?’ David asked without so much as pausing for breath or blinking an eye. I snorted an embarrassed breath as I briefly wondered how many times in his life David had asked that very same question and almost giggled hysterically, what completely different circles we travelled in!
    ‘Submissive,’ I whispered, twirling my thumb ring frantically and still unable to believe I was voicing these things out loud to a complete stranger.
    ‘Really?’ David seemed genuinely surprised. ‘With your temperament so far I’d have had you down as the one in charge,’ he said with a wiggle of his eyebrows. ‘I hope you don’t mind but I need to ask why you’re not still with your ex.’
    ‘We just wanted different things,’ I said vaguely, not wanting to explain that while I’d enjoyed being in the bedroom with Aidan, he had been as dull as dishwater outside of the sheets. Once he’d started to hint at getting engaged, I’d made a speedy exit from the relationship. ‘But I enjoyed the domination stuff … I’d like to try it with someone who’s a bit more experienced.’
    Nodding David took another hearty swig of his drink before smiling at me broadly. ‘I’m sure that can be arranged, sweetheart.’
    ‘Another thing,’ I added quickly, ‘I know from research that there are various different types of dom/sub relationships and I was kind of hoping for a fairly “no strings attached” set up.’ Seeing David’s inquisitive glance I swallowed and elaborated. ‘I have a really stressful job, my focus is on my career for now, but I think this could be a perfect way to release some of the control I use all day, I want to settle down and have kids eventually but not yet, there’s too much going on at work so I’m not looking for a long-term commitment, maybe just six months or so to start with.’
    David’s eyes lit up at my statement. ‘I think I may just know the perfect guy,’ he said standing up and heading behind the bar in search of something before pausing and lifting his head with a frown. ‘That is assuming you want a male partner?’
    Losing count of how many times I had flushed red in the last ten minutes I nodded sharply to which David smiled and continued with his search below the counter. ‘Great, the guy I’m thinking of is an experienced dom with a very good reputation, plus they don’t come more “strings-free” than Nathan. He’s not been into the bar for ages so let me see if he’s involved with anyone at the moment. You can fill in a quick membership form while I call him.’
    David reappeared clutching an address book that he had obviously been searching for. Sliding a membership form across the bar to me, he flashed me a smile before dialling a number and disappearing to make his call leaving me sat nibbling on my lip and feeling slightly detached from the whole weird situation I’d managed to get myself into.

Chapter Two – Nathan
    I frowned and ran a hand though my blond hair. It was a touch longer than I liked and needed a cut really, but that wasn’t my main issue tonight. The thing that was really bugging me was that I wasn’t entirely sure why I was pulling into the car park of Club Twist and that fact bothered me a great deal.
    I was the master of my life, I controlled everything, planned every single little detail, and going out for a drink definitely had not been within my plans for the evening.
    Once again, I asked myself what the fuck I was doing here but still found no suitable answer. Yes, I was currently unattached, but that was the way I’d wanted things; business was too brisk to bother with the shit that comes with personal relationships, and yet even with that fact in the forefront of my mind I still found myself here climbing from my car after the call
