Page 35 of Sara’s Dom (The Doms of Madison County)

“That sounds good.”

“It looks like you haven’t slept or eaten for a few days. This must be serious?” Cat asked.

“I don’t know if I’m making it a bigger deal than it is, so I need you girls’ insight,” Sara said.

“We’ll deal with it. Let’s go sit down.”

There were five women there. Besides Cat, there was Janessa, Hannah, Bella, and Tamera, a woman who fit into the group perfectly but didn’t have a Dom yet.

They all stood and hugged her before one of them handed her a glass of wine.

“Tell us what’s going on?” Hannah said.

Sara took a deep breath. “Grant and I have been together for over four months.”

The girls nodded.

“I found out a few days ago that he actually owns his ranch, but all this time, he’s been pretending to be the manager.” She was glad to see their confusion.

“Why?” Bella asked, perplexed.

“He showed up at my house several hours after I found out. All he said was he wanted to make sure I wanted him for the man and not the money, as his other women had done before me.”

“Why take four months?” Tamera said.

“That’s what I asked him, and he told me he tried a few times but was afraid he’d lose me.”

“Men can be such idiots,” Cat said.

Sara smiled for the first time in days.

“He had to have known you’d eventually learn the truth,” Hannah said.

“That’s what I thought,” Sara said. “I told him the longer he went without telling me, the worse it would have been.” She took a drink of her wine. “The thought that he’d been using meor tricking me keeps popping into my mind.”

Hanna shook her head. “No. I’ve seen him with you. That man loves you.”

The other girls agreed.

“But he’s never said how he feels. He’ll say things like forever, but that’s it. He says that in the heat of the moment, so I don’t know if he really means it or not.”

The girls were quiet, each lost in their own thoughts.

“Have you told him how you feel?” Tamera asked.

Sara shook her head. “No. I didn’t want to put any pressure on him.”

Tamera nodded. “I understand that.”

Sara thought about the man Tamera secretly loved but hadn’t done anything about it. She hadn’t told the group anything about the man besides he lived in the area. She wished something would happen to get the two together.

“Another thing is he hasn’t tried to call or even text since he left.”

Now, the girls were scowling. It made her feel like she wasn’t being overly sensitive.

“Dammit,” Grant cursed when the horse he was brushing stepped on his foot.
