After a lot of ribbing, Tiffany preened. “I can’t help it if I have talents,” she giggled.

Trevor pulled out a blindfold and held up several cardboard cut-outs of penises. Dragging one toward his mouth, he licked the image and sighed dreamily.

“You ladies ready to ‘Pin The Junk on The Dom?’”

“Only if you’re done giving it a blow job,” Leagh laughed.

“I’m not sure yet, sis. This one looks pretty damn tasty.” Trevor smirked.

“Oh, I’m telling Drake on you,” Julianna threatened with a laugh.

“No, you’re not, or you’re going to have to find yourself another babysitter, sister,” Trevor warned with an impish grin.

“You’re right, I’m not,” she agreed.

Trevor passed out the penis pictures before blindfolding Leagh. After he spun her around and pointed her in the direction of the poster he’d rescued from Maurizio’s, Leagh rubbed her hand over the paper and stuck the penis on his chin. The whole room started laughing, and when she pulled off her blindfold she screamed.

“That’s where it should be,” she laughed. “And we all know it.”

Suddenly, there was a loud knock at the door. Leagh was still giggling as she ran to answer it. Tilting my head, I peered into the foyer. Two police officers stood on the porch. Leagh let out a thin cry of fear and crumpled to the floor.

Julianna’s face turned white as she raced to Leagh’s side. Looking up at the officer with a pained expression, Julianna sucked in a quick breath. “James? W-what’s happened? Is Tony all right?”

“Fuck,” James hissed. “Nothing’s happened to him, I swear. It’s not what you think. Leagh, honey—”

“James? What’s going on? What’s happened?” Julianna’s tone was sharp as she wrapped her arms around a visibly distraught Leagh.

“Nothing. I swear,” he repeated before kneeling and cupping his hand beneath Leagh’s chin. “Honey, I’m sorry. I didn’t mean to scare you. Tony is perfectly fine. He and the guys are playing poker over at Dylan and Nick’s place.”

Listening to the exchange, I instantly saw red. Whatever reason the two officers had for being there had wound up inadvertently scaring the crap out of Leagh. After losing her first Master so unexpectedly, two officers showing up on her porch had led Leagh to the worst possible conclusion: something horrible had happened to Tony.

Bolting from the couch, I rushed to the door and pinned an angry gaze on the officer, James.

“If Tony hasn’t been in any kind of accident, what the fuck are you doing here then?” I planted my hands on my hips and glared at the kneeling officer named James, seething with a rage I hadn’t felt in years.

Blinking up at me, he stood. Wearing a look of confusion, James shook his head. “Who are you?”

“I’m Savannah’s sister, Mellie. Who the hell are you? Are you even a real cop? Did you come over to scare the hell out of Leagh for shits and giggles?”

Suddenly, Sanna appeared at my side, tugging on my arm. “Mel,” she whispered tersely.

“Stop it,” I hissed, jerking from her grasp. “You’ve got some nerve, you know that? Do you have any idea what she’s been through? What the fuck is wrong with you? You’re an asshole, you know that?”

“I thought this was a subbie party. I take it you don’t hang out with these ladies on a regular basis, do you, girl?” James smirked as he squared his shoulders and spread his legs. Everything about the man screamed ‘Dominant.’

“No, I don’t, and just for the record, I’m nobody’s girl,” I spat. “What you’ve done to Leagh is careless and cruel.”

“Mellie, stop,” Sanna begged. “James is a switch at the club.”

“I don’t bottom anymore, sweetheart,” James corrected. “Arianna and I are still friends, we’ve just both gone over to the Dom side.”

“Oh, wow,” Julianna murmured.

James frowned. Visibly worried, he knelt in front of Leagh once again. “Hey, Tony is alive and perfectly fine. Do you hear what I’m saying?”

“He’s not hurt? He’s not dead?” Leagh asked in a quivering voice filled with fear.

James issued a heavy sigh and shook his head. “No, sweetheart, he’s one hundred percent fine. I volunteered to come by with Officer Hung here to make sure things don’t get too out of control,” he replied, jerking a thumb at the officer standing behind him.
