The fact that I wasn’t winning by a mile said how good he was in those shoes.

Hoping the stairs up to the playroom would give me an edge, I completely missed the danger hiding just out of sight.

Austin’s Dom.

He scooped me up in his arms, giving me a shrug as I sighed. “Aww. I was fast that time.”

“I can’t let Austin kill himself on the stairs even if he likes chasing you.” Silas ignored my whine and turned us around so he was facing his insane partner. “You should’ve stayed on a flat surface and hidden somewhere downstairs. This is your own fault.”

Ugh.

“This was entirely unnecessary.” Shaking his head, Austin frowned. “Master, please hold him tight. He’s wiggly.”

Iwaswiggly.

Most people didn’t hold squirming subs nearly tight enough because they were afraid of scaring us, but Silas knew me well enough not to be distracted by anything I could do. It was frustrating and hot all at the same time.

“I’ll be good.” Aiming wide eyes at Silas because I knew better than to try that nonsense on Austin, I pouted. “He scared me.”

Austin snorted. “Bullshit. I’m trying to reward him.”

He was?

Turning back to Austin, I frowned at him. “I’m not sure I believe that.”

It was probably a scam but I liked rewards.

“Do you have cookies? A new flogger?” He’d half promised, half threatened to use one on me and I was still waiting to see if that would materialize.

The brat smirked and shook his head. “No, but you’ll like this just as much.”

Promises, promises.

“What is it?” Another naughty toy? “Did you get something new for the playroom?”

He was good at picking out toys for the playroom. Silas said that was because he refused to grow up and I thought he was right.

“No. This is something just for you.” He gave me a tempting smile. “You won’t have to share with anyone.”

Oh.

“It’s all mine?” Those were the best kind of toys. “What did you get me?”

Silas was trying not to laugh but his chest was jerking. “Come on. This isn’t the place for this conversation.”

Why?

What kind of toy couldn’t we talk about in a BDSM club?

What had he gotten for me?

I didn’t know anything that would be too naughty for Austin to talk about in public, much less in the club. He really didn’t care what was taboo or not…so he was making me curious.

“Office time. You’re right.” Whirling around to make his skirt fly up all around him, he stopped when he was facing the back corner. “And we’re off.”

“To find my new toy?” It was dangerous to follow crazy men to a secondary location, but he was hot and had good toys. “What did you get me?”

Austin just giggled and pranced around in his heels.
