“Seven, six,” he continued as he started to laugh.

“Five, four,” I chimed in with a giggle, helping Trevor count down the seconds until Mika stormed the room.

“Awww, shit,” Julianna groaned as she struggled to sit up.Her gaze locked on the door and worry creased her forehead.“Leagh, while I still have a chance to tell you, I hope the clothes fit.If they don’t, Savannah and Trevor can help you exchange them, since I probably won’t see the light of day until this baby is born.There’s a new cell phone in one of the bags.I added it to Mika’s account.Don’t worry about the bill or any—”

Suddenly, the door burst open.Mika stood, filling the frame as a menacing growl bubbled from deep in his chest.My eyes grew wide.Julianna simply whined, sending him a pitiful pout before she stretched her arms out to him.

“I know the drill, Master,” she mumbled.

“After this baby is born, I’m going to spend weeks…no, months, spanking your ass,” Mika fumed between clenched teeth.

“I know, I know.You tell me that every day.”An impish grin replaced her dramatic pout.“Can I just say that I’m really looking forward to it?”

“What makes you think I’ll let you enjoy it, precious?”Mika snarled as he leaned low.Julianna looped her outstretched arms around his shoulders and threaded her fingers around his neck.Mika plucked her from the bed and nestled her against his chest.

Julianna nuzzled his neck, trailing kisses up his throat and over his jaw.“Because you always do, Master.And because you love me so much.”

A slight smile tugged his lips as he shook his head.“You naughty little minx.If you don’t stop hiding the truth from me, I’ll make sure you don’t enjoy them, my love.”

Julianna groaned.Mika turned his attention to the three of us left sitting on the bed.I felt Savannah’s body tense.

“I hope you’re happy with the clothes, Leagh.”Mika smiled, then quickly sobered.“And next time you’re in a bind and don’t contact me, I’ll let every Dom in the club redden your ass.Do I make myself clear, little one?”

I swallowed tightly.Not for one second did I think Mika was bluffing.“Yes, Sir.Crystal.”

“Good.Come to my office tomorrow.I want to discuss something with you.By the way, I’ve asked Tony to keep an eye on you.I expect you to give him the same respect you show me, understood?”

Tony?He’d asked Tony?Was Mika fucking insane?Anxiety crashed through me like a wrecking ball.I wanted to beg him to let Sammie do it, or Drake.Hell, anyone but Tony.But nobody argued with Mika.Nobody.His club… his rules.“Yes, Sir.I promise.”

“Good girl.And you two,” Mika peered sternly between Savannah and Trevor before giving a little wink.“Thank you for keeping an eye on Julianna, who I’m taking home now.Enjoy the rest of your day, pets.”

“See you guys soon,” Julianna called out as he carted her out the door.

“You hope.”Mika’s warning echoed in the hallway as the door shut behind them.

“Every time Mika puts on his badass Dom hat, he scares the beejeebers out of me,” Savannah whispered.

“Oh, like your two Masters are total teddy bears?Right!”I giggled.

“Not on a good day.”A broad smile lit up her face, and her pretty brown eyes sparkled with absolute love.

It felt good to laugh.I tried to keep my guilt at bay as Trevor opened the numerous packages, laying the clothes out on the foot of my bed.I had no idea how I was going to repay Mika and Julianna, but I would find a way.

“It’s time to start modeling, sis.”Trevor beamed as he pulled me from the bed and shoved a stack of clothes into my arms.

After an impromptu fashion show that lasted a solid hour, I donned a pair of skinny jeans and a sinfully soft Angora sweater.Slipping into a pair of sexy Jimmy Choo ankle boots, I felt more alive than I had in days.

“Now that you’re all dressed up and looking sexy, let’s go grab a late lunch,” Trevor urged, tugging me toward the door.

It really didn’t take much coaxing before the three of us piled into my car and headed to Maurizio’s.As we walked inside the restaurant, memories of George stole my breath.A ball of anguish clogged my throat as I blinked back tears.

“Oh, baby, I’m sorry,” Trevor whispered.Pain wracked his face as he stared at me.“Let’s go to Los Pueblo instead.”

I shook my head and sucked in a ragged breath.“No.I want to stay here.Just no booths today, okay?”

I would be fine as long as we didn’t sit in one of the secluded booths where George enjoyed doing all sorts of taboo things to me in public.Of course, no one could see, but it turned him on knowing we could be discovered easily.

“Hey,” Scotty, the bartender/manager, called out with a wave of his hand.“Take a seat anywhere.”
