CHAPTER THIRTY
Next Thursday, James and Laura went for their weekly run. After they slowed to a walk, James checked at the run app on his phone. “Congratulations, you’ve finished three miles in a little under thirty minutes.” He smiled brightly at her.
Laura’s eyes widened in surprise as she blurted out, “Wait, what, really? That’s great!”
“It is,” he agreed. “In just over a month, you’ve transformed from someone who didn’t run at all to someone who can effortlessly complete three miles in under half an hour. Your progress is remarkable, and I couldn’t be prouder of you.”
Laura blushed and bowed her head in an unconscious submissive gesture. “Thank you, Sir. I couldn’t have done it without you. I’m amazed I’ve made such progress in so little time.”
Fuck, she’s beautiful. He needed to keep his head in the game. “Speaking of which.” James cleared his throat. “Our original agreement was one month. What do you think? Do you want to keep going or change anything? ”
Laura halted in her tracks. “Do you want to stop?”
James mirrored her actions. With a tender gesture, he cradled her head gently in his hands, creating a comforting cocoon of support and understanding. “Honey, I don’t want to, but the time limit was for you. Do you like the lifestyle? Do you like being my submissive?”
Laura’s gaze lifted to meet his, and her eyes reflected a mixture of vulnerability and shyness. Her reply came softly, her voice carrying a hint of bashfulness, “Oh, James, I do like it. I love spending time with you. How about you?”
“Honey, I like being with you. I enjoy spending time with your family, and I love to see you thrive in your submission, to watch you becoming stronger. I would like to make this a permanent arrangement.”
“Permanent?” Laura blanched and she responded carefully, “I wouldn’t want to stop or put a time limit on it, but permanent sounds so…”
James grimaced. “Permanent?”
Laura chuckled and the tension dissipated.
“How about we agree to continue until one of us declares we want to end it?” he asked her, and she nodded. They sealed the deal with a kiss that probably wasn’t at all appropriate on the main road.
