We both turn back to the monitor where the girl has moved to all fours, stretching forward so that her forearms rest on the ground and her ass sticks up in the air tantalizingly.I’m suddenly wondering exactly why I’ve never been a fan of the slave positions, and my cock is harder than it’s been since I can remember.

“I want her.”

I can see the hint of a smile on Logan’s face as he makes a note on his spreadsheet.“Then go on the show.I’ll move them both through to the finals, but it’ll be up to you to win her at the auction if you want her.Don’t think I’m going to do you any favors just because of who you are.”He’s trying to keep his face impassive, but he’s not doing a very good job of it.The smug look in his eyes gives him away.

“I don’t need favors,” I say.“I’m the Domliest Dom here.Just ask your wife.”Although the look Logan shoots me has reduced many a sub to tears, I just laugh.

“I have nothing to worry about where you’re concerned.”He dismisses my comment with a wave.“Your sadistic side kind of scares her.”

“It should.It takes a certain kind of woman who’s able, and willing, to give me what I need.”I wonder if the dark-haired beauty on the screen might be that woman.I gesture at the monitor where the couple is leaving the stage.“What about the Dom she came with?”

“I’ll split them up.There’s a clause in the contract that states there’s no guarantee that a Dom and a sub who sign up together will compete together on the show.Other than these two and a married couple who were disqualified because the woman has an unresolved cutting issue, there aren’t any other pre-formed Dom/sub teams in the running.I think it will work out best for the show if all the teams are on even footing anyway.And, of course, that will undoubtedly work out best for you as well.”

“Indeed it will, although I have a feeling neither one of them is going to like that.”

“Oh, I know they’re not going to like it.But as you pointed out, he’s not the right Dom for her.It’ll be better for both of them to be split up.”

The next day, I’m in Logan’s suite helping him put together the auction details when the girl shows up at his door.I come out of the bathroom just in time to hear her voice in the next room.It’s soft, precise, and slightly melodic, just like the woman herself.

“I’m afraid there’s been a mistake,” she states matter-of-factly, her voice even.“I got this note saying that I’ve been selected as a finalist and that I should appear for the auction on Friday, but I already have a Dom.I’m here with Emmett Stone.”

“Yes, I’m aware that you and Mr.Stone signed up together, Ms.Summers,” Logan says.“But since you are the only pre-formed couple to make it through to the finals, we’ve decided it’s in the best interest of the show for both of you to compete independently.The contract, which you both signed, clearly states that a Dom and sub who sign up for the show together may be split up.”

“But you can’t do this!Emmett and I are a package deal.”Her voice is tinged with a hint of desperation.

I figure it’s best to let Logan deal with her on his own, so I stay in the bedroom, watching unobserved as she proceeds to rip Logan a new one.For all of her seemingly shy reserve, she’s a spitfire when she’s mad.

Logan listens to her rant patiently and then says evenly, “Ms.Summers, it’s quite clear that you are not Mr.Stone’s submissive.”

Her eyes fly to his, and I wonder why the fact that he’s stated what anyone can easily see creates the panic I see in their green depths.“You’re wrong.”She crosses her arms over her chest.“He’s my Dom and I’m his submissive,” she says, blushing and stammering slightly over the word.

Fascinating.I feel my cock stir again.

Logan smiles.“Well, you’re clearly submissive, but you’re certainly nothissubmissive.”

She looks so blindsided that I almost feel sorry for her.Logan must too, because he adds more kindly, “If you really care about him, and it appears that you do, you’ll give him, and yourself, a fighting chance to win this competition.I can assure you that if you compete together, you won’t last a week.But my decision is final.It’s entirely up to you, Ms.Summers, whether you accept it or not.If you no longer wish to compete in the games, you are free to withdraw from the competition and go home.”

A hundred emotions flit briefly across her face and then they’re gone, replaced by that mask of composure that seems to be her default.“Fine,” she says, her voice even.“We’ll compete separately.”

I let out a breath I hadn’t realized I’d been holding as she turns on her heel and walks out the door, her head held high and her spine rigid.

Oh yes.I’m going to enjoy stripping down her defenses and peeling away that composure she works so hard to maintain until she gives me everything.I want to see that control that she holds onto so tightly crumble.I will own her.I will possess her body, her mind, and her soul until she’s bared to me.Until she’s mine.

For the first time in two years, I find myself looking forward to tomorrow.

The next day, the fourteen submissive finalists are treated to a day at the Helix’s full-service spa while the Doms compete in a series of games and challenges that will earn us points.Those points will be used at the auction tomorrow to purchase the subs who will be our partners for the show.Obviously, the Dom with the most points will have his choice of subs, and I’m determined that Dom will be me.I have no intention of allowing anyone else to purchase the beautiful and mysterious Avalon Summers.

But as I told Logan, I don’t need any favors to dominate in the competitions.The games include a series of physical challenges such as an obstacle course, a timed run, and a game of flag football, as well as a written test that assesses each Dom’s knowledge of BDSM, safety, and consent, which I sail through.There’s also an interview which is televised so that the viewers can vote for their favorite Doms.That’s the only challenge where I don’t take the lead, coming in second to none other than Avalon’s alleged Dom, Emmett.

I have to admit, he’s a pretty likeable guy, and if nothing else, I respect him for the effort he puts forth to actually give me a run for my money.I can’t figure out why Avalon wouldn’t respond to his authority; he’s clearly a gifted Dom.Yet another layer to uncover with the enigmatic Avalon Summers.

The final event is a game of Texas Hold ‘Em, held in the hotel’s casino, with each chip worth a point.By the end of the evening, I’ve earned more than a thousand points, enough to buy any girl that I want at the auction.Enough to buy her.
