And her sub does not have any nightmares and actually manages to properly sleep in.

But eventually Isabella climbs off her to go to the bathroom.

zzzzzzzzzz

And eventually Sadde stirs and wakes on her own. She sits up suddenly, alarmed, then blinks and calms down as she remembers where she is.

"You okay, pet?"

"...yeah, I'm fine. Didn't know where I was. Did you sleep well, ma'am?"

"Yes I did. I didn't keep you up talking?"

"Nope, it was actually pretty soothing and adorable."

"Oh good."

"Do the things you say correlate with what you're dreaming about? They seemed pretty random."

"Pretty thoroughly random as far as I've been able to tell what with not being personally conscious of my nocturnal vocabulary."

"Well but you've talked about this with Alex, I presume?"

"Yeah. And sometimes he'll be like 'I was up at three and you kept saying 'strawberry' and I'll say 'weird, no strawberries in my dreams, all night' and he'll say 'or dirigibles? What's a dirigible anyway?' and I will tell him what a dirigible is and that I didn't dream about one."

"Last night there was... mud? And, um, cranberry, I think? Also 'shoooooooes,'" she says, trying to imitate the way Isabella said it.

Isabella giggles.

"Most adorable dom," she declares.

"Don't tell. You'll ruin my badass cane-wielding image."

She makes an 'x' with her index finger over her heart. "But you're adorable and badass and sexy."

"Thank you, pet."

"You're welcome, ma'am."

Isabella scoots back into bed and kisses her.
