They fixed the issue with the delivery guy (while I just stayed in the car) and Eli had to pay him extra for the wait...whoops.

"We're gonna go to the gym now and set all of the stuff up." Eli said as he hopped into the car.

"Okay." I replied.

"Do you want me to bring you home?" he asked.

"Are you making me go home?"

"If you don't want to, you don't have to, there's no one there, but if you do then it's fine."

"I left my car at work..."

"I'll get someone to drop it off."

"Okay," I didn't want to go home but I wouldn't be of much help if I went with them. "I'll go home."

He drove out of the parking lot.

We got to my house and he pulled into the driveway.

"How do you feel?" he asked and rubbed my thigh.

"I'm okay, just tired." When Eli and I sleep together it always puts me to sleep for some reason.

"Sore?"

"Just a little between my legs, I'll be okay." He was a lot to take in so forcefully. It didn't hurt during but my body feels it now.

"I'll come see you when we're done, okay?" he said and gave me a soft peck on the lips and then a kiss on my head. "Go get some rest." he instructed.

I left the car and watched him drive off then headed inside.

"HOW DID IT G-...oh my god..." Ken said while she ran towards me as soon as she heard me enter. "You look worn out..." she stated.

I kicked my shoes off and tried to walk to the sofa but my legs gave out and Kendall had to catch me.

"Oh my god, what happened to you?!" she asked. "Come on, let's get you to your bed."

She assisted me to my room and helped to get me into my bed.

"You okay? You look like you've been working out for ten hours straight in your work attire."

Not ten but it felt like it.

"How did it go with El-...wait..."

'Yeaaa, now you're piecing it together.'

"He did this?!" she asked. I rolled over on my side and grabbed a pillow to hold.

"Leyla, you're FUCKED. And I mean FUUUUCKKEEDD!" I ignored her.

"I'm kind of jealous." she said and put her hands on her hips as she examined me.

"So like what happened?"

I slowly and exhaustedly explained what I did and his response to it. The toy. The mall. The edging. The rounds. Only thing I left out was the phone call.

"FIVE?! He made you walk around with a vibrator up your-...why aren't I surprised actually?" she asked. "So he's a hard dom." she stated. " I guess I'm not surprised. I mean have you seen him? I'd be more shocked if he was gentle with you."

"What?" I asked.

"Awww poor thing doesn't know her own terminology." she said and rubbed my back. "You're adorable."

'What the hell is she talking about?' Which is something I ask myself about Kendall often.

"Get some rest, babygirl, you look like your body is still feeling the aftermath." she laughed.

"Okay..." I mumbled as I closed my eyes.

...

I woke up to someone gently rubbing my back and I slowly opened my eyes.

I didn't know what time it was but my room was too dark for it to still be the afternoon.

"Hi..." I said sleepily and with a gentle smile.

Eli squat down to meet me at eye level.

"Hi, baby. Kendall told me you'd still be asleep." he laughed and his hand slid up to my face as his thumb gently rubbed my cheek.

"Mhm." I agreed.

"I just came to check on you. Go back to bed." He kissed me gently then got up to leave again but I grabbed his hand. I pulled him back towards me and he got the hint and took off his shoes, loosened then took off his tie, and unbuttoned the first button of his shirt. I scooched over to give him room and he climbed in with me. I got back closer to him, "There you go." he said and held me as I laid my head on his chest and his fingers softly rubbed up and down my back.

It was Wednesday but Eli gave us the day off. I spent all day on the couch watching tv and eating cereal.

When I remembered what day it was, I got an idea and called Eli.

"Hey, baby, what's wrong?" he answered in a voice that sounded like I'd just woken him up. I almost walked across the street just to hear it better.

"I have 2 questions." I stated. "Wait, did I wake you?"

"No, I was already up."

'My god, keep talking.'

"Oh okay, well I was wondering, are we working out today?" I asked.

"Do you want to? I'm not letting you fight, so if you want to work out it's more of a fitness ordeal than anything else," he explained.

"Yea."

"All right then we will. What's your second question?"

"Can I...maybe...possibly...please...watch you fight today?" I asked.

"Didn't we discuss this? You're lucky I let you come on Friday's." he claimed.

"Pleeeaseee, I'll be bored if I don't go."

"I don't care, you'll be unsafe if you do go." he argued. "Plus, it's a knife fight day. You don't know what could happen."

'ITS A KNIFE FIGHT DAY?!'

Now I have to go.

"But-..."

"No."

"Please?"

"No."

"Eliii..."

"No."

A silence bounced through the phones.

"Stop pouting." he demanded.

'How did he know I was pou-!'

"I'm not pouting." I lied.

"You're lying."

'Fuck you.' I thought.

"Fuck you, too." he chuckled.

'WHAT?!'

"It's just one more day before I'm stuck going strictly on Fridays." I pleaded.

"Leyla, if I have to tell you again it'll be with a hand around your throat. After we workout, you go home. Do you hear me?" he asked.

I stayed quiet.

"Leyla." he called.

"Hm?"

"Answer me when I'm speaking to you."

"Yes, I hear you..." I mumbled.

"I can't hear that."

"I said I hear you." I repeated louder than the last time.

"Watch your tone with me." he threatened but in a voice so calm. I think I would've preferred if he yelled it.

"Fine. I won't go. I promise." I said and hung up the phone.

'I'm going to that fight.'
