While she drank her water, he turned off the warming pots so the wax could cool. Someone would be in tomorrow morning to clean the club from top to bottom. They would take care of the leftover wax in the pots.
Daniel picked up her undergarments and handed them to her. She polished off the rest of her water and took them from him. He tilted her chin up so she could meet his gaze. “Shower and put the bra, panties, and stockings back on. Then, come find me on the first floor.”
She swallowed but didn’t say anything.
When she stood there, unmoving, he raised an eyebrow. “Problem?”
Ali sucked in a breath. She could do this. “No, Sir.”
“Good. Now go shower. I’ll be waiting for you downstairs.”
Clutching the flimsy lingerie to her chest, Ali scrambled out of the room.
No one said anything to her as she passed, but she did get a few looks. Some of them seemed happy, others confused, but all of them knowing. They knew she’d played with Daniel. And if they hadn’t witnessed the scene themselves, they’d heard about it.
She breathed a sigh of relief when she entered the locker room, but it was short-lived. As she rounded the corner to the showers, Kim stood there, waiting for her.
Ali dropped her bra, panties, and stockings on the shelf outside one of the shower stalls and pulled the curtain back. She turned the water on to warm, then faced her friend. “I guess you heard about my scene with Daniel.”
She nodded but didn’t say anything. When Kim had revealed she’d slept with her boyfriend and Dom, Justin, Ali had been hurt given her friend had been crushing on her older brother’s best friend for well over a decade. And while Ali’s feelings for Daniel hadn’t been brewing for as long, that didn’t change things.
“Are you mad?” Ali asked.
“No.” Kim motioned toward the shower. “You’d better get in there.”
She was right. Daniel wouldn’t be happy with her if she lingered.
Stepping into the shower, she pulled the curtain closed and began to wash off the wax. “I’m sorry I didn’t tell you. These last couple of days have been crazy.”
“I do hope you know I want all the details. And you’d better not leave anything out.”
Ali laughed. “I promise.”
“Lunch tomorrow at Georgio’s?”
“Twelve o’clock.”
The sound of heels clicking on the tile floor let her know Kim had left the room. She finished washing, removing the remnants of the wax from all the crevices of her body. It took longer than she thought it would but digging all the wax from her belly button had taken a while.
She dried off and dressed in her bra, panties, and stockings. A quick look in the mirror told her what she’d already known. Her outfit didn’t cover much. A flower over each nipple and a grouping of similar flowers at her crotch were the only things keeping her goods from being on full display.
Blowing out a breath, she threw her wet towel in the hamper and went in search of her Dom.

Most of the scenes Daniel had been involved in over the last two years had been rather tame. At least, on his side. Even before he’d met Ali, when he had indulged in a sub’s mouth or pussy, it had never been like it was with her. When he was inside Ali, it was as if he couldn’t get deep enough. He wanted to consume her. For her to consume him. It scared the hell out of him, but not because he didn’t want it. Because he wanted it too much.
It would be different if Ali didn’t seem to enjoy their rough play, but she did. The force of her climaxes was impossible to ignore. Daniel knew he was in deep—deeper than he’d ever meant to be with her.
As he turned to go, Katrina was standing in the doorway. The look on her face said more than words ever could, but she said them anyway. “I hope you know what you’re doing.” Then, before he could respond, she’d walked away.
Daniel didn’t miss the looks he received as he made his way down to the main floor of the club and could only imagine Ali had experienced the same. He glanced toward the women’s locker room, but he knew she wouldn’t be finished yet. It was too soon.
Resuming his progress toward the seating area, he came face-to-face with Justin. “Sorry. I wasn’t watching where I was going.”
“Looking for Ali?” Justin asked.
“No. She’s showering. She’ll join me when she’s done.”
