“We have to look like we belong. I could go in as a woman looking for some kind of crazy fix, but there’s no way I could pull that off. I wouldn’t know what I was doing.”
“But you’re willing to walk into that place as my submissive?”
“Submissive?” Anna cocked her head.
“I like to dominate my partners, and if these parties are about living out your greatest fantasies….” Nine let his statement hang.
“I can’t defend myself if I’m tied up,” Anna pointed out.
“Exactly the point,” Nine said. “There’s a lot of trust required between partners in any environment, but especially this one.”
Anna’s eyes flew to Gate’s. “You’re okay with this?”
“As a general rule, no.”
Nine glanced Gate’s way, “There’ll be audio and video, so let’s just try something out.” Nine turned to Anna, “Gate’s standing right there. Remember that.”
“Okay,” Anna whispered.
Nine slid to the edge of the couch and nodded to the floor in front of him, “Kneel.”
Anna cleared her throat, glanced at Gate who crossed his arms over his chest, and moved the floor to stand in front of Nine.
Nine’s voice dropped an octave, “Don’t make me wait, Anna.”
Anna knelt to the floor in front of him and looked up.
He leaned closer and slid his hand around her throat.
Gate grunted but then kept quiet.
“Two ways this can go,” Nine said. “We can go in there pretending and hope no one calls us on our bullshit. Or we can go in there believing, and nobody will glance twice at us, except to wonder how the fuck a man like me landed a knockout like you.”
Anna sucked in a breath, and Nine let her go, stood, and helped her to her feet.
“That’s what you’re asking, Anna. The two of you should really talk about this first. I’ll protect you with my life, for Gate. But I won’t take a job that comes between me and my brother. I’ll see myself out.”
Nine reached the door and wasn’t surprised that Gate was right behind him.
“Was that necessary?” Gate growled.
“You’ll see and hear a hell of a lot more than that during the mission, so, yeah, it was.”
“Fuck.”
“Not tending to your business, Gate, but you’ve got a submissive woman in there.”
“Anna?” Gate asked.
“Yeah.”
“That woman doesn’t have a submissive bone in her body.”
“In everyday life, you’re right. She won’t take shit off anybody. But in the bedroom….” Nine trailed off.
“You think so?”
“You ever tried any kind of dominance with her?”
