“Yes. She was bundled up, so she seemed fine but for her sleeping.”

“I’ll come check her out.”

“I want you to wait until the wind lets up a bit. The road to the club was very windy. I don’t think she’s in danger,” Jake said.

“I’ll watch the weather and be there when I can,” Gavin said.

Jake breathed a sigh of relief. “Thanks, man.”

“No problem.”

Jake sat back down and lifted the woman’s hand again. He closed his eyes and rested. It had been a long few days for them. The supplier they usually used didn’t have half the liquor they needed, so they had to hunt it down from other stores. He was just glad to be home.

He was aware that Macy had come back in.

“Gavin is coming when the wind calms down a bit.”

“Good.” Macy moved another chair to the other side of the bed, lifted Cat, and sat with her on his lap. He listened to them whisper before drifting off to sleep.

Chapter Two

Jake instantly awoke when he heard the elevator. He sat up and groaned when a muscle in his back tightened. He first looked at the woman to find she was still asleep and then noticed he still had ahold of her hand. What surprised him the most was that her hand was now gripping his.

He stood to meet Gavin, but her hand tightened on his. He studied her face and saw she was still sleeping. He tried again to pull his hand from hers, but it tightened again.

“Hey, Gavin,” he said, standing beside the bed with her hand clutching his. Both Macy and Gavin noticed the grip she had, and both men’s eyebrows rose.

“She still asleep?” Macy asked.

Jake nodded. “Yes. I don’t think she woke up. I was sleeping and could have missed something.”

“You’d think she would have made a sound…” Macy said.

Gavin walked around to his side. “Stay there, Jake. Let me check her over.”

“I’m going to take Cat to our condo so she can shower, but we’ll be right back.”

Jake waved. “All right. Thank you.”

The doctor went over her head to look for bumps. He moved down her body and inspected the front.

“Let’s roll her to the side so I can see her back.”

Jake had to let go of her hand to help. She immediately started to whimper and fidget.

Gavin finished quickly and then lay her back down. “Take her hand again. Let’s see if she settles at all.”

Just like before, the moment he touched her, she relaxed. “What do you make of that?” Jake asked.

“She feels safe with you,” Gavin said as he listened to her heart.

“She hasn’t been awake at all, so I’m still a stranger to her,” Jake said.

Gavin wrapped the stethoscope around the back of her neck and then lifted her other hand to take her pulse. “It doesn’t matter. She unconsciously knows you’ll take care of her.”

Jake nodded. He, like the other men he knew, felt deeply that women and children had to be protected. They all felt on some level that they were put on earth to care for the innocent, so they decided to join the Navy to help the people overseas. Now that they were home, they opened a club specializing in all kinds of kink, but their main focus was watching over the women. In the Dom/sub lifestyle, things could get out of control easily if the Dom didn’t know what he was doing. Jake had grown up with the need to be dominant and protective.

Gavin checked her pupils.
