Page 64 of Taming Her

She jerked her head away. “So you’ve put this collar on other women? Taken them there?”

He cupped her nape and dipped his head. “No. I have never taken anyone there, there will be raised eyebrows because of that.”

“So… so why are you a member?”

He kissed the tip of her nose. “I like to watch, sometimes I play too.”

“Play?”

“With submissives, if their dom has given me permission, of course.”

“I don’t understand.”

“Some couples enjoy having a third party join in.”

“Join in?”

“Deliver pain, pleasure, whatever their kink is.”

She opened her mouth, closed it again.

“Ask me anything, Ava, I’ll be completely honest.”

“I… I think I’ll wait, save my questions.”

“Okay.”

He held the collar between his two fingers. “So can I put this on you?”

“If you want.”

“I want.” Very carefully he slipped the leather around her neck then fastened the buckle. “Too tight?”

“No.” She touched it. “It feels comfortable.”

He smiled. “It suits you.”

She studied his eyes and tipped her head. “It turns you on to see me wearing this, doesn’t it?”

“Hell, yeah.” She was catching on.

“Why?”

“Because it makes you mine. At Cauldron, that’s the club, everyone there will know you’ve been claimed by me and that you’re my possession. No one looks or touches or talks to you without my express permission.”

“And will you give them permission?”

He hesitated then just for the kick out of seeing her shocked expressions he said, “I haven’t decided yet.”

But he had; there was no way he’d be sharing his sub. Not in a million years. Ava was his, all his, every bit of her.

“Griff, it’s nice to see you, it’s been a while.”

“How are you, Shannon?”

“Well, thank you. I see you have a new pet.”
