“No,” Mick said.

“Dee, this is our friend Serenity. Serenity, this is Dee.”

The woman smiled. “Hey. Nice to meet you. So, you're the one who got the free pass.”

“Uh, I guess so. Am I?”

Adam chuckled. “Don't worry. Micah owes us a few favors.”

“Who is Micah?”

“My ears were hot and I was wondering why,” a Southern accent came from behind her.

She turned and found a large Native American man wearing a pair of black jeans and a dress shirt. A long waterfall of black silky hair trailed down his back. And he was smiling at her. He had a pretty smile.

“Micah, this is Serenity,” Mick said,

He took her hand and kissed the top of it.

“So, nice to meet you.”

“Nice to meet you too. Thank you for the pass.”

“As Adam said, I do owe them a few favors, and lord knows how many members they've helped add to my club.”

He glanced over her shoulder toward the bar. “You look tired.”

“I am not tired,” Dee said.

“You should take a break.”

“You should get bent.”

He only smiled.

“My staff doesn't respect me. I thought maybe you would like the manager's table for tonight.”

“Oh, I don't want to put you out.”

“You’re not putting me out.” Then, he stepped toward the bar and leaned over it. He pulled Dee forward and kissed her.

“Take a break.”

She shook her head, but Serenity did not miss her smile. Micah held out his arm and waited until she took it.

“I think you should make sure to watch St. John tonight. He and his wife are over from Hawai'i doing a demonstration on spanking. Adam told me you are a novice?”

She nodded.

“If you decide to join as a member, we have a lot of classes. They take place in the club, but they aren't out in the open like this.”

“Thank you.”

They arrived at a u-shaped booth and he handed her up. “Enjoy yourself tonight, and like I said, make sure you watch Eli and his wife. They are very good at this.”

The guys joined her.

“I take it he's involved with the bartender?” she asked.
