“Wait,” I cried.“I don’t want to go sit in the dungeon.”
He turned slowly, staring at me as if I’d grown an extra head.“Why not?”
I sucked in a deep breath.It was now or never.I had to open my soul and trust him with my all my feelings…the good, the bad, and the ugly, jealous ones.
“It kills me to watch you with other subs.”
His shoulders sagged as the tension left his body.“When have you ever watched me with another sub?Now that I think about it, you’ve never been outside your room when the club’s been open since George died.”
“Once,” I confessed quietly.“The night I passed out.You walked past me with—”
“With Destiny in my arms.Yes, I remember.”Tony nodded in understanding.“Leagh, the subs I scene with don’t hold a candle to what I feel for you.You know that, right?”
I nodded and cast my gaze toward the floor.It was stupid and childish of me to be jealous of the things he did with other subs, but I couldn’t help it.The green-eyed monster inside leapt to life, and I couldn’t seem to wrangle it back in.Watching him whip and soothe, spank and caress another sub while I sat and watched would be akin to shoving knives through my heart.
“I know, but I still can’t watch you do it,” I mumbled, still unable to look at him.
Tony didn’t say a word, didn’t move.The silence dragged on for an uncomfortable amount of time until I couldn’t stand it.Glancing up, I found him staring down at me, grinning like an idiot.
“What’s so funny?”I bristled.
“You’re jealous,” he replied in a sing-song voice.
“I am not!”
“Oh, you are, sweetheart,” Tony laughed as he pounced onto the bed.“And I like it.”
I didn’t want to, but I giggled as he rolled me on top of him and squeezed me tight, still grinning like a loon.
“Well, I don’t,” I pouted dramatically.“It makes me feel like I’m back in high school.It’s stupid.”
“Aww, it’s not stupid, angel.It just shows me how much you care.”
“I do care about you, Tony.I love you.You know that.”
“Yeah, and that makes me the luckiest bastard on the planet.”He beamed.“I’ll make a deal with you.I’ll monitor the play stations as DM tonight if you sit at the bar and talk to your friends again.”
“Okay.”I nodded, inwardly relieved he wouldn’t be touching the subs.
“I’ll talk to Mika and Drake.I’m sure we can come up with a list of Doms who enjoy edge play who might be interested in working the subs.”
“Wait.No.”I held up my hand and shook my head.“You can’t stop doing what you like because of my stupid jealousies.”
“I can do whatever I want to.I’m the Master,” Tony challenged.“Do I need to prove that to you again?”
“No.And that’s not what I meant,” I sighed, feeling my irritation rise from the way he twisted my words.“If you stop fulfilling your sadistic needs because of me, you’ll end up resenting me, and I’ll be wracked with guilt.”
Tony sobered and reached up to tuck a strand of hair behind my ear.“Baby, since you’ve come into my life, I’ve had an awakening of sorts.Fulfilling the needs of pain sluts has lost its appeal.So, there’s no need for you to feel an ounce of guilt overmychoices.I’m not going to resent you coming into my life…ever.Trust me.I’m a thousand times more complete inflicting sweet agony on you, sweetheart.”
Rolling me beneath him, Tony kissed me with a passion so reverent and full of promise it made my toes curl.Gliding his mouth down the column of my throat, he nipped and growled as he worked his way to my nipples.As he dragged his tongue from one beaded tip to the next, I threaded my fingers in his hair and tossed my head back.Soft moans tickled the back of my throat as I arched, offering my breasts to him, to tease, torment, and devour.
A low curse tore from his lips as his cell phone began to ring again.I couldn’t help but giggle.Tony shot me a mock glare of warning, which I responded to by rolling my eyes.He shook his head and flashed a dazzling smile.The ease at which we teased one another warmed my heart.Still, Tony would make me walk the line for him, night and day and every second in between.I welcomed the challenge.It excited the hell out of me.
“Hello,” he answered.A hint of perturbed frustration laced his tone.I caught a glimpse of unease flash across his face before he smoothed it away.“Ah, no.Not tonight.I’ll be working as a Dungeon Monitor.I’ll check with Shadow Master and see if he can scene with you, girl.”
I knew right away it was one of Tony’s regulars calling for a spot on his “hit list.”The jealousy-guilt cocktail sluicing through my veins felt foreign and acrid.This wasn’t going to be the last call of its kind.But if Tony’s claims were true, I’d have to find ways to keep my knee-jerk jealousies at bay.It was his duty as a Dom to find replacement sadists to fulfill his play partners’ needs.And his protective nature would ensure that every one of the subs was matched with a Dom they could trust.
“Yes, I’ll let you know shortly,” Tony replied before ending the call.Gazing down at me, he studied my eyes.“You know I feel obligated to help them, right?”
