Yet I was still here, in Dylan’s office that looked more like a guest room in a five-star hotel than a workspace. At least, it did if you could ignore the spanking bench and sex chaise lounge sitting in one corner.

Just seeing the implements in his office made my mouth water and my blood pulse with need.

And all of that was before Haley entered.

Adrenaline buzzed in my veins as she walked through the crowd.

Dylan was right. She was perfect. Tall and willowy, long, chocolaty hair. When the overhead chandeliers shined on her just right, her hair sparkled and shimmered in a way that stole my breath. Her large, doe-like green eyes absorbed everything around her and the way her lips parted in surprise showed her obvious naivety to the lifestyle.

Dylan led her toward a table with his hand on her lower back, and my hands curled into fists, my biceps bunching beneath my tight, long-sleeve black shirt

Everyone in this place knew that showed possession.

He already had a slave.

Haley wasn’t his.

But she can’t be yours.

I wanted to take a bullet in the head just to make my conscience shut the fuck up.

As I watched Dylan guide her toward a table, she caught sight of another Master—Thomas. She instantly tipped her chin down, avoiding his eyes, all while her perfectly light cream skin turned a shade of pink right at the edges.

It undid me in the worst of ways. That one fucking look awoke the Dom deep inside me and it clawed to the surface, threatening to take control of my resolve to never live this again. To never train a sub again.

As she sat speaking with Dylan, her trembling fingers moved surely, her quivering smile stretched, and her confidence grew.

It shouldn’t have been Dylan answering her questions. It shouldn’t have been Dylan preparing to give her a tour of the playrooms. And it shouldn’t have been fucking Dylan who was allowed to rest his hand on hers, even as he flashed me a smirk he knew I could see.

In more than a decade of friendship, I had never wanted to punch him more.

It was all it took, and my decision was made.

I would have her.

I would tame her.

And once she was trained, I would hand her over to someone else who could give her permanence and stability.
