“For now, girl, and I say that without much faith in the minutes to come,” the Mistress smirked.

I studied the young man sitting beside her.Even as Ivory spoke, his focus remained fixed on the plate of food in front of him.

Definitely her sub.

But the longer I watched the young man, the more I worried I wasn’t showing the proper respect to my Masters or to George and Ivory as well.Even if I was a newbie, I didn’t want to look like one.And I certainly didn’t want my actions reflecting badly on Dylan or Nick.

Terrified I might be embarrassing my Masters, uncertainty crawled through me like a colony of ants.Tensing, I cast my eyes to the table.

Dylan brushed the hair from my shoulder and leaned in close to my ear.“Relax.You’re doing fine, love.We only require strict protocol inside the club.Lift your chin and stop hiding from our friends, kitten.”

His warm breath and reassuring words sent waves of relief sailing through me.And as he clasped my hand in his beneath the table—a much needed anchor as well as a boost of confidence—my worries vanished.

I raised my head and smiled as Nick introduced me to George, Leagh, and Mistress Ivory, then cast an inquisitive glance at the young man still staring at his plate.I didn’t understand why Nick hadn’t introduced him as well.

“Ignore him,” Mistress Ivory said with a wave of her hand.“My boy, Dark Desire, won’t be joining in on any conversations until he learns to watch his sassy mouth.”

The gaze she cast on him was so cold and disapproving, I felt sorry for the young man.But as Ivory turned her attention our way again, her boy peeked at me beneath his dark lashes and smiled.

Making sure no one was looking, I smiled back.Though I’d just met or semi-met Dark Desire and Leagh, I felt a bizarre bond with the two.As if we were all a part of the same team or something.I desperately wanted to pull them aside and ask if what I felt was normal, but I knew this wasn’t the time or the place.

“Hey, we never did get that snowstorm you were talking about.”

“Consider yourself lucky.”Nick shook his head.“It was a bitch.”

“Masterrrr,” Leagh whined, hopping like an impatient bunny.

“Dammit, girl, you’re going to be the death of me,” George grumbled.“You may ask.”

Leagh squealed, then lifted onto her toes and planted a wet kiss on his cheek.

“Thank you, Master.”She cleared her throat, loudly, then clasped her hands behind her back with an impish grin before casting a hopeful glance at Dylan and Nick.

I wanted to giggle at her well-practiced and transparent manipulation.

“Sirs?May I please have permission to speak to your beautiful sub?”

“Now that didn’t hurt, did it?”Dylan teased.

Leagh clutched her hand around her neck.“Like broken glass lodged in my throat, Sir.”

“It’s a wonder you didn’t choke.”Nick smirked.“And yes, girl, you have our permission to speak to Savannah.”

“Oh goodie!Thank you, Sirs.”Without warning, she leaned across the table and tossed her arms around me in an awkward hug.As soon as she touched me, I felt a warm, sincere friendliness bubbling inside her.

“It’s so nice to meet you, and I’m thrilled Sir Dylan and Sir Nick have finally found a girl to share.”Her excitement made me grin.“But I gotta tell ya, there are gonna be submissive hearts breaking all over Genesis now.These two hunks have been making our sub sisters drool for years.They’re going to be green.Green, I tell ya.”

“Leagh,” George interrupted.“That’s enough, my little hellcat.”

“Well, thank you, Leagh…I think,” I snickered.

“Oh, yeah, it’s a good thing they found you.I can already tell you’ll be able to handle them.Trust me!”She winked.

“We’ll leave you in peace to enjoy your lunch now,” George announced with a weary sigh.“Glad you’re home safe and sound.Savannah, it’s been a pleasure meeting you, girl.”

“Likewise, Sir.”I smiled.

Before turning away, George leaned down and, under his breath, said to my Masters, “Keep her.”
