gone? If I didn’t know better, I’d think she’s sweet on him. I guess I don’t know her well enough to say, but she’s definitely not his type.
Unlike me, right? Why does the idea of Susan liking him bother me? Where’s this going? Us. Is there an us? I glance over at him. Do I want there to be one? He looks so laid back while talking with Susan, it’s hard to believe it’s the same brute that threw my new landlord into a wall. Or the guy who makes me soaking wet just by ordering me around and punishing me.
But he’s a friend. And not just any friend. Gabriel’s best friend. It would be a little weird if we got together, wouldn’t it? Part of me wants it. Even I see that. It’s not just the kink, either. He’s nice. He listens to me. He helps me not be such a screwup. He protects me.
I sigh. I don’t know what to think.
Pushing it to the back of my mind, I decide to worry about it later. Right now I’m supposed to be getting ready for a demo. I tap Caleb on the shoulder. “Hey, sorry to interrupt. We’re on soon, aren’t we?”
“Oh, that’s right!” Susan’s way too excitable for her own good. “I’ve got keys right here.” Turning and grabbing something from a table, she’s about to hand us two keys when she stops. “Or wait. Did you guys want just one key?”
I blink.
Caleb pauses and I catch him glancing over at me before he quickly returns his gaze to Susan and smiles awkwardly. “Two keys, please.”
I’m not sure whether to be happy or disappointed.
She smiles. “Alright. You guys work so well together. I wasn’t sure... well, here you go. You’ll be far apart, I’m afraid. Caleb’s suite is already reserved on the top floor, but I’m afraid you’ll have to settle for a room in the servants’ quarters on the first floor.” She puts the key in my hand and pats it. “Don’t worry, honey, it’s all very nice and modern in the rooms. They just like to stick to the castle theme here.”
Right. Whatever. Accepting my key, I shoulder my bag and head for the door. Caleb’s right behind me.
His voice is soft. “Alright. I have no idea what you brought, as far as clothes go. Do you think you have what you need?” He knows how rushed I was.
I run my tongue along my teeth before I answer. “No idea.” My smile’s apologetic. “You did say naked was okay, didn’t you?”
He laughs. “Alright. You know what? Wear whatever you want. Just make it easy to get off.”
“Get off?” I bat my eyes at him coyly. “You are still talking about my clothes, right?”
“Sure.” He grins. “Probably.”
“But—”
“No buts. Obey your Master.” His voice goes from playful to Dom in a millisecond.
Suddenly I’m lowering my gaze and fidgeting with my hands. What the hell? We’re not even scening, but the way he makes me feel... “Yes, Master.” It feels good to submit.
“Alright. I’ll meet you back here in...” He glances at his watch. “About twenty-five minutes.”
I nod.
“Dismissed.” He waves me off.
I hurry to see if I can find my room.
Chapter 7
Caleb
F uck, she’s looking good.
Striding up to the stage on tall black heels like she’s going to own it, Viv’s walking straight-backed and with a wiggle in her step that makes her rounded hips sway in a way that’s impossible to ignore. A cute little smile curls at the corners of her mouth. For not having had much time to pack, she’s made the most of it.
She’s wearing a loose black skirt, white kneesocks and a white button-up blouse, open just enough to show a little cleavage. Just looking at her already makes my jeans feel too tight.
Everyone’s eyes are on her. I love how she can steal all the attention in a room with just her presence. It’s like she doesn’t even know it.
I give her a hand to help her up on the stage. “Looking good.”
“Thank you, Master.”
And now my jeans are even tighter.
I look out over the room. Everyone’s here, ready for a punishment demo. I like
