“After you.”

She smiled at him as she walked by. The citrus scent he always associated with her filled the air around him. His head spun, his cock twitched and his body yearned.

Drawing in a deep breath, he called on his legendary control and followed her out the door.

Crysta was impressed by Rough ‘n Ready. The club was packed. It wasn’t odd seeing that they were the only club on the island open during the week. She knew there was an offshoot on the side of the island, but it was only open on the weekends. Still, the size of the crowd was impressive. She knew they had a reputation throughout the Pacific for being one of the best clubs in the US.

Dee smiled at her as she led them up the stairs to the office. “I’m so glad you’ve made it in tonight. It’s kind of crazy, but that’s summer.”

She stepped into the office, holding open the door for Eli and Crysta and shutting it behind them. Crysta looked around the spacious office. One side of it was filled with monitors. She could see the entire club from where they were. The door opened on the opposite side revealing Micah. He was wiping his hands on a towel.

“Holy cow, you have a secret room.”

Crysta walked over and Dee followed. “We practically lived here when we first got married, but now, with Lizzy, we stay home more.”

The room was a simple bedroom with a massive bed in the middle of it. The sheets were messed up and it was obvious something had been going on earlier—something other than sleep.

She slid a glance to Dee, who was blushing.

“Really? You’re blushing over this?”

Dee rolled her eyes. “I’ll tell you a secret. Micah was my first, so while I’m not ashamed of my sexuality, I’m not like May. It’s still new to me.”

“He was your first Dom?”

She shook her head and looked behind her. When she was apparently sure they were alone, she leaned forward and said, “My first everything.”

“Oh. Ohhhhh. Wow, you picked that to be your first sexual experience? You’re braver than I am, girl.”

Dee laughed. “Yeah, well, you should have seen his reaction when I told him.”

“I would have paid for that. So, where is that sweet baby girl tonight?”

“Uncle Devon is babysitting. He can’t get enough of her. I was hoping it would make him want to be a father, but you’re about the only one he’s shown interest in and believe me, I’ve dangled a lot of women in front of him. For awhile I thought maybe he was gay.”

“You thought your brother was gay?” Crysta asked. “No way.”

“That’s exactly what Micah said. And he has good gaydar. But the truth is, he’s young and he, you know, never gets it on.”

She smiled, delighted with Dee. “I have a feeling your brother keeps himself busy with women more than you know.”

“You’re probably right. Truth is, it doesn’t matter because Eli would never let it happen.”

It was her turn to glance toward the door. “I told you, one night.”

Dee smiled. “I’ll reserve judgment on that one. Come on, let me show you our shop.”

“Brave man letting that woman walk around dressed like that,” Micah said.

Eli glanced at him, then back to the monitor. “Not my woman.”

Micah stacked his booted feet up on his desk, as he sipped some water. “Yeah, sure. Gonna look for a sub tonight?”

When he didn’t say anything, Micah chuckled. “I didn’t think so.”
