his psyche demand someone bow to his every desire. He forgot everything he’d ever learned and spoke without thinking. “You’re mine, Jessica, like it or not. I know, and if you’d just open your mind, so would you. We are each other’s completion and sooner or later, and I reckon sooner, I’ll show you.” He firmed his lips together, scared he’d said too much.
    “Fuck you—it’s bollocks, and you know it.” Jess’ eyes flashed, even though her hand shook. “I’m not your sub, not a member of the sodding club and not interested.”
    He rather fancied her rapid breathing and flushed cheeks gave lie to the statement.
    Behind him, Kath sobbed quietly. David felt sorry for her. None of this was her fault except that she had acquiesced to her Master’s demand. Whether Jess would ever forgive her twin or her friend was, he felt, doubtful. She was flushed, but not, he surmised, from arousal. It was from sheer bad temper. David concluded a different tactic was needed.
    “Jessica, you’re upsetting Kathleen. If as I’ve been told she is your greatest friend, can you stop? Give her a break maybe. Your brother asked her to do this and—”
    “As she’s been hypnotized by him, she’ll do what he says,” Jess broke in. “Even though she knows—he knows—I can’t.” She turned to Kath. “I know you know a little bit of why I’m so anti all this, but I chose to ignore the fact you’d checked up on me.” Her eyes glittered with tears. “And believe me, you don’t know the half.”
    David’s throat constricted. If only he could tell her it was all okay, nothing was going to happen, and he’d take her home that minute. But he couldn’t. He had to at least get her to her brother.
    “Then you come and tell him everything. I’ve promised Jeff I’ll take you both to him, and I don’t go back on my promises. I’ll hold your hand.”
    Jess paled even further and shook her head. David reckoned it was hard to believe so much color could leach from a person’s skin, and them still be conscious.
    “And I should accept this why?”
    He raised one shoulder. “Because your brother and friend have your best interests at heart maybe? Whatever. But listen well, you do not take it out on Kathleen. How about I give you my word? Once we get there, if you wish, you can leave and I’ll take you wherever you want to go.” He could tell she was thinking over his words. Her eyes were cloudy, and she twisted one red ringlet between her fingers. Behind her, Kath was silent. She must have understood how crucial this was.
    “Like this?” she waved her hands over her face. “Eyes wide open and not covered?”
    Shit. What had made her ask that?
    “ No, not quite.” He waited. She waited, and David realized he had to speak. “Blindfold. It’s the rule.” Why was he being so arsy about it? He could bend the rules if he wanted to. David realized it was because he needed Jess to trust him. Is it just because it strikes at my ego, or because it would be the first step to a Dom-sub relationship? He evaluated his feelings. Definitely the latter.
    Jess shrugged. “Then sorry, no dice. I will never, ever be blindfolded. So either I go sighted or not at all.”
    And therein was his dilemma. As much as he wanted it, David accepted it was asking too much for her to put all her trust in him without any good reason. Why should she? He knew damned well if he was in her position he’d tell him to go to hell. Something was seriously wrong, and he was determined to help her get over the hurdle or phobia. For both their sakes.
    “Would you agree to keep your eyes shut?” he asked, trying for a compromise. “If I promise no one will touch you?” David hadn’t realized until that moment how crucial he considered her answer would be. “No one except me that is, and I’ll only touch you to guide you.”
    The silence stretched. With infinite patience, he counted off the seconds in his mind. He would give her two minutes and…then
