It’s Friday night. Where is she?

At Black Rose without me? We don’t have any understanding between us. She’s free to do as she pleases.

Most subs like her spend Friday and Saturday evenings at a club.

Damn.

Jealousy spears into my gut.

I’ve got to do something about this.

I can’t leave Las Vegas, though.

I have meetings all through tomorrow. Then I leave on Sunday.

So I text Mary.

I return Sunday afternoon.

I’m coming to see you at your apartment. Be there.

Chapter Thirty-Four

Mary

“He’s got some nerve,” Brenda says after I read Ronan’s text.

We’re having drinks at her place, waiting for Dalton. His flight lands in an hour, and then he’ll come to Brenda’s place in a cab.

At which time, I will exit.

But I need a friend tonight.

I initially came to vent about my accidental meeting with Lucas, but we quickly shifted the subject onto Ronan.

“Who does he think he is?” Brenda says, shaking her head.

“He’s a Dominant.”

“Yes, but he’s not your Dominant. He’s only your Dominant when you’re doing a scene together. What the hell happened between you two in New Orleans?”

“I’m not sure. I think…” I shake my head vehemently. “Seeing Lucas today brought it all back. What it’s like to have feelings for a Dominant when they’re not returned. I can’t go back there, Bren. I just can’t.”

“It’s interesting that Ronan is taking his time with you. Are you sure he’s not having feelings himself?”

“No. If he were, he wouldn’t have canceled a date at the club via text.” I did see his call on my phone, but he didn’t leave a voicemail, either.

“That’s true…” Brenda takes a sip of her wine. “I still say he has a lot of nerve.”

“Agree one hundred percent.”

I’m playing the part, for sure. But inside, I desperately want to obey Ronan. I want to be at my place Sunday afternoon when he gets in. I want to be ready for him, naked, holding my wrists out for him to bind.

What the hell is wrong with me?

I never wanted to be a full-time submissive.

Even Brenda and Dalton don’t practice the lifestyle full-time. They only play at the club. At home, they have normal sex. Brenda told me.
