“What are you doing?”he asked, standing and latching onto my elbow once more.
“I have to get back in there.What if George wakes up and I’m not there?He’ll be scared with so many strangers in our room.I need to be there when they bring him back to life.”
James gripped my arm with firmness.Compassion swam in his eyes.Holding me tight, he eased me back onto the couch with him.
“The EMTs are doing everything they can.Mika and Julianna will be here in a minute.I phoned them when the call came in and I realized it was George.”James’ words were measured in a firm but gentle tone.“I need you to stay with me so the medical team can do their job.Okay?”
“Yes, Sir,” I responded automatically.James was a switch, which meant he was both a Dominant and a submissive.He fashioned as either a Top or bottom, depending on the type of fulfillment he desired.I’d addressed him as Sir, because George had insisted I view James as a Dominant.
A slight smile tugged his lips, and he nodded.“Good girl.Now take a deep breath and tell me what happened.”
I broke down several times as I relived the horrific details to James.He both soothed and coaxed answers from me as he jotted notes in a small spiral notebook.He was a trusted friend and understood the dynamics of my relationship with George.While it gave me a small sense of comfort, it was still hard as hell to speak the words.
Moments later, Mika and Julianna rushed through the door, worry lining their faces.Julianna raced to the couch and kissed the side of my head.Nervously sliding her hand up and down my back as Mika paced, looking as if he’d been kicked in the gut.I fought to keep myself together as James helped me explain to them all that had transpired.
The EMTs had been in the bedroom a long time, and when they finally made their way into the living room, working on George laying on a gurney, their bleak expressions confirmed my biggest fear; my Master was gone…and he wasn’t coming back.
A cry of anguish tore from my throat.I felt my heart burst apart and shatter as I sagged against Julianna and sobbed.
ChapterTwo
“Leagh?”Tony’s deep, velvet voice ripped through the haze of agonizing memories.
“Huh?”I jerked my head in his direction as I swiped away my tears.
He nodded toward a large French Colonial home.“I said, we’re here.”
Tony pulled the car into the garage after he pressed a button on the visor.
“Come on.We’ll get you into a hot shower, and I’ll find you some dry clothes.You’ve been shivering for the past ten miles.”
“Okay.”I nodded numbly before stepping out of his car.
Once inside, I followed behind him as he weaved his way through a spotless kitchen, past a cozy and inviting family room, and around the corner to a wide-open staircase.His home held an air of comfort and sophistication, which surprised me.I wasn’t sure why, but I’d envisioned his bachelor pad looking totally different.
Without a word, I followed him up the stairs, down a long hall, and into a large masculine bedroom.
“I’ve got a tub and shower in here.”Extending his arm toward the spacious bathroom, I stepped in past him and caught his scent.Summer grass, sea air, and erotic spices filled my senses.The walls of my pussy clutched, and my clit tingled.I bit back the gasp rolling in the back of my throat.What the hell was that?My cheeks grew hot, and I was caught off guard by my visceral response.Oh, you did not just go there!You have absolutely no business thinking with your pussy.Especially not with him!
Many subs at Genesis fell, or dreamed of falling, at Tony’s feet.He brought available subs out of the woodwork at the club with his sculpted body, gorgeous face, whiskey brown eyes, thick dark hair, olive skin, and commanding dominance.The man was more than drool-worthy.Hell, he’d even starred inmymasturbation fantasies—secretly, of course—a time or two.But it was only in my dreams.Never once did I attempt to make them come true.
Yeah, yeah—he’s easy on the eyes.Big deal.This is not the time…definitelynot the place to let your libido overrule common sense.You’re mourning George, for fuck’s sake.This is wrong on so many levels.
I clutched the doorknob with a death-grip as the little voice in my head railed.The bathroom was huge, but with Tony standing so close and smelling so damn enticing, arousal burned low in my belly.Craving him was wrong, but I couldn’t rein in my inappropriate reactions.What the hell was wrong with me?I’d just left my Master’s gravesite.Waves of shame and guilt sluiced through my veins as I inwardly cursed my heartless hormones.
“Are you hungry?”Tony asked, lagging in the doorway.
Food was out of the question, especially now.My stomach pitched in dishonor and longing.“No,” I replied quickly as I raised my head to meet his stare.
His gaze, like hot fingers, scraped over my flesh, sending a shiver rippling through me.Looking as if he’d just climbed out of the shower with his wet, disheveled hair I couldn’t keep from gazing at his captivating body… or picturing him naked.The man was incredibly built, but his ruthless Dominant appetite scared the beejeebers out of me.
My stomach growled at the mention of food, calling me out as a liar.
One dark brow arched as he leveled a skeptic look.“When was the last time you ate, Leagh?”
“Um…I don’t know.The thought of food makes me…” I wrinkled my nose and placed a palm on my still swirling stomach.
His expression softened, and he stepped closer.The heat of his body spilled over me like a seductive blanket.Reaching up, he brushed a broad finger over my cheek before tucking a strand of wet hair behind my ear.My mouth went dry, and my heart slammed against my ribs.
