Page 14 of Marking Micah

Arrow led her across the lobby and knocked on a door. She heard a voice telling them to come in, and they did.

Master Derek sat behind his big desk, motioning them to sit down.

“Hey, Arrow. Good to see you. And this must be Micah?”

“Yes, Sir,” she answered, bowing her head for a moment. Despite his friendly smile, the handsome man with the sharp blue eyes behind the desk radiated authority, and the sub in her was responding like crazy. “It’s very nice to meet you. This place is amazing.”

“Ah, glad you’re liking it here. We aim to please.” He turned to Arrow. “How’ve you been? Are you enjoying your visit so far?”

“I’m good. Really glad to be back here. Thanks for extending the invitation. We visited China in the stable this morning, and we’ll be taking advantage of the dungeon tonight,” he said, turning to look at Micah.

Her insides simultaneously turned to mush and went tight as piano wire. “We, um… we will?” she stuttered.

Both men let out a low chuckle, and she felt her cheeks heating.

“Yep,” Arrow answered. “No time like the present, eh? Don’t want to waste our time here, do we?”

“Oh, I… I guess not.”

“You make full use of the facilities,” Master Derek said. “And please let me know if there’s anything you need. We try to keep it supplied, but even we can’t think of everything.”

“I’m sure the place has everything I need for my purposes,” Arrow said, draping one arm around her shoulder.

She shivered. God, would she ever not react to this man again with anything other than need and heat that trembled through her like he’d put his hand between her thighs?

Probably not.

“I do have a question,” Arrow continued. “That private room in the dungeon we discussed in our emails?”

“Ah, yes,” Master Derek answered. “Just let me know when you’re heading there, and I’ll send Luna in to show you the way. Plenty of the larger equipment, but with more privacy than the main floor, as requested.”

She glanced back and forth between the two men, wondering what Arrow had planned for her.

“Excellent. Thanks so much, Derek. We won’t take any more of your time,” Arrow said, standing and helping her to her feet with his hand on her elbow.

“I’m here whenever you need me, Arrow. It’s good to see you. And very nice to finally meet you, Micah.”

“Nice to meet you, too, Master Derek,” she said, trying to smile through the jangling of her nerves.

It had been a long time since two Dominants had plotted something for her, and that familiar rush of adrenaline poured through her system. But it was definitely more intense than she remembered it ever feeling before. Probably because it was Arrow this time.

They went back to their room and he shut the door behind him.

“Well, I’d call today a small victory. Come sit on the couch and tell me how you feel about it, Micah.”

She followed him and sat down beside him.

“It honestly went better than I expected. I thought I’d be a lot more nervous, but China was so sweet and gentle.”

“I told you she would be.”

“I know you did. I guess I had to see it for myself before I really believed it.”

He leaned in and took her chin in his fingers, forcing her gaze to his. Her body filled up with tingling nerves and heated desire. She swallowed.

“Micah. If this is truly going to work, you’re gonna have to trust me. What I say. What I do.”

“I do trust you,” she said, the words coming out on a whisper.
