“It’s not the reviews. It’s the source. They’re all from websites,” Sonja said.

“Of course, how could I overlook that?” Suzie slapped her forehead.

“What are you talking about?” Yvonne asked.

“Sorry, dear,” Suzie answered. “My sister, Laura, is a computer wizard. If there’s something fishy about the reviews, she’ll find it for us.”

“None of the reviews say anything about fish.” Yvonne looked puzzled.

Sonja smiled. Yvonne’s English was good but sometimes she struggled with idiomatic expressions. “Fishy means there’s something odd or underhanded about the reviews,” she explained to her Dutch waitress. “Laura will help us find out what’s going on.”

Suzie pulled her cell phone from her pocket and dialed Laura’s number. They chatted briefly then Suzie explained the problem. “I’m going to put you on speaker.”

“Hi. If you can email me the links to the reviews, I can start digging. Do you suspect these reviews are connected?”

“It’s a possibility,” Sonja said. “Derek’s ex-girlfriend is trying to get him back. She stalked him in St. Louis. It’s why he came here.”

“Do you know if she had IT experience?” Laura asked.

“No idea, but I’ll ask Derek and let you know if she does,” Sonja responded.

“That would be great. As it happens, I’m ahead of schedule at work, so I can dig into this as soon as you send me the email,” Laura said.

“Thanks, sis. We’ll have it to you shortly.”

“Great, Suuz. I’ll check my email and get back to you as soon as I have anything. Tell the kids we’ll see them this weekend. Bye.” Laura ended the call.

Sonja had already pulled up her email program and was typing the website info in as they spoke. “Done,” she said only seconds after Suzie and Laura had disconnected. “I think that’s all we can do on that front today.”

“Now, we wait.” Suzie gathered her things together. “I have to do my waiting at school. Abby is coming back from an away game, and I need to pick her up shortly.”

“I need to get over to Tante Wilma’s shop. I promised to do some deliveries for her this afternoon,” Yvonne said.

“Yes, you shouldn’t keep your aunt waiting. Be sure to lock up on your way out,” Sonja said.

She tried to get back to her work, but the information about the bad reviews had disturbed her, and she was unable to concentrate. She went to the kitchen to get herself a cup of coffee and see what kind of leftovers she could take home that night. The chef had left a note on a to-go container of that day’s lasagna that said, “for Sonja.” She chuckled that the woman knew her so well. It would be great for her supper that night. She found a couple of leftover brownies in the bakery case. She didn’t know how they had been missed during closing, but they would make a wonderful dessert. She gathered her booty and took it back to the office to finish her paperwork.

CHAPTER THIRTY-ONE

The weekend before Christmas, Derek announced, “After my shower, I want a blowjob.”

Sonja was lying down on the bed. Later, they were going to Club Indigo to help decorate for an entire week of celebrations. Instead of the usual weekend opening, the club would open its doors every day from the day after Christmas through Sunday, January second. Sonja was rereadingDaddy Issuesby Evangeline Anderson, and she looked up at him. He was stripping off his work attire, and she took a moment to admire his body. Although not GQ material, Derek looked good with or without clothes, and she liked watching him dress and undress.

Without a backward glance, he sauntered out of the bedroom, giving her a prime view of his taut ass. He might like her ass, but she liked his as well. She fanned herself at the imagined heat.

Sonja returned her attention to the book. Luckily, the story of Detective Andi Sugarbaker was engaging. Sonja could understand the heroine’s struggle with her Little nature, and some of those scenes were sizzling hot! But she was also drawn to Viktor Saltanov, a strict but loving partner and Daddy Dom. Sonja didn’t realize Derek had returned to the bedroom until thebed dipped and she turned her head to the side to find his erect member in front of her. Sonja licked her lips and opened eagerly.

Derek took her head between his hands and guided her mouth onto his cock. Sonja opened wide and relaxed her throat muscles. She loved his control and the knowledge that he received pleasure from her. Sonja sucked and licked as Derek pumped his shaft in and out of her. She loved how he was careful never to go too deep, no matter how aroused he became. Unbelievably fast, he stilled his movements and spurts of cum coated the inside of her mouth and throat. Sonja softly licked and suckled the head, knowing he couldn’t have much, but that the attention added to his enjoyment. As he withdrew his cock from her mouth and bent down to give her a sweet thank you kiss, she was amazed about how different this experience was from the previous time he’d requested a blowjob.

Sonja smiled and looked him in the eyes. “I really enjoyed this, Daddy.”

His smile was the sweetest she’d ever seen on him. “I know, babygirl. I did, too.”

As she sat beside Derek on the day after Christmas, Sonja assessed the room. They’d done a great job decorating the club, and she’d had fun working alongside her friends. Having Derek’s hot gaze on her and feeling his caresses during the work had been exhilarating. She’d been aroused before they’d hung the last garland.

Derek stroked the top of her breasts along the elastic of the pink babydoll dress he’d surprised her with only an hour ago. He spoiled her rotten, and sometimes she wondered what she gave him in return.

Movement on her right caught her attention, and she welcomed the diversion. Adding doubt to their relationship would neither please Derek nor help herself. Sonja watched as Will Tolbert led Ruby away from the bar. Sonja had met the big, hulking man at the decorating party but hadn’t been able to get a read on him. Tonight, he looked good in leather pants and a dark button-down shirt, but Sonja didn’t get the sinking feeling in her stomach that most Dominants gave her.
