The Dom Who Said Please Page 6

  “I’m always ready for you.” Tula hunkered down so her face was level with his. “Why now, pet?” she asked quietly. “What made you greet me in such a way? Has Edan contacted you? Your consultant? Your manager? The club doctor?”

  Dario bit his lip and without thinking twice Tula rapped his knuckles, hard with the briefcase she still held. “Do not do that,” Tula said sharply. “Any marks on you are made by me, no one else and that includes yourself. You remember that?”

  He nodded. Before she had a chance to tell him to vocalize he spoke. “Yes, My Lady. I’m sorry. No one’s contacted me. I just thought it was time to get my head out of my ass, build a bridge and get over it. Enough of the wallowing. To answer, your in my mind, much more important question, I’m green and ready to resume our relationship. This,” he tapped his leg, “is gonna be part of me for goodness knows how many months, years … who knows? I’ve let it bugger up what we have for long enough. Seven years ago I vowed to be yours forever, in church.” He touched the platinum ring on his wedding finger. “Four years ago I vowed to be your sub forever in front of our friends.” He grinned as he fingered the silver chain he wore around his neck. “Even some vanilla ones. I lost sight of that for a bit, and I’m sorry. Now though, I need this connection, My Lady, if you wish it. I miss you, I miss us.” He maneuvered himself to his feet and dipped his head. “I want to renew our vows and move on.”

  “In church?” Tula asked. They’d only married to satisfy their parents. His collaring was the ceremony that meant the most to them. Or, she thought, it had been.

  Dario shook his head. “No, in Dommissima. But not until I’m using a cane, not crutches.”

  The tears she’d been fighting came in a rush. “You’re on,” Tula managed to say before she bawled her eyes out.

  He might change his mind when she told him what she intended to do.
