“One way of fixing that problem.”
Grady pointed at him. “No. You cannot do that to her.” He knew precisely how Steele thought he could get rid of that problem.
By firing her.
“Why should she have to work? We can take care of her.”
“You are not that dense, so don’t pretend that you are.”
“I like to get my own way,” Steele said.
“Believe me, I know. But if we start something with her, then we do it right. Take it slow. Ease her in. Think about it from her perspective. We’re her bosses. We’re both Dominants. And there are two of us. That’s not normal to most people. We’ll have to make sure we’re on the same page when it comes to her.”
“We’re always on the same page,” Steele said.
They were. There was a sense of safety in that.
“If she’s important, then we should take it slow. Be careful. Make sure she really is it.”
Steele was quiet for a long time. “Never thought I’d be in a relationship. Being in one with you . . . that feels right. She feels right. But yes, I’ll be careful and go slow. Well, what’s slow for me.”
Grady thought that was likely the best he’d get.
“We’re really doing this,” he murmured. “Together.”
“Did you really think we’d do it apart?”
Grady hadn’t. Mostly because he’d never thought to find someone special to him. Someone who wasn’t Steele.
And he never thought Steele would want someone after Jacqui died.
Poor Effie, she didn’t know what the hell was headed her way with the two of them.
Steele could be extremely protective. And Grady . . . well, he liked his order and control.
So yeah . . . they’d both need to be careful and go slow.
While still moving forward and showing her that they wanted her.

Effie read the news report again.
Not April.
It wasn’t April.
She didn’t know why she’d felt so panicked when she’d heard the news report on the radio this morning. But a report of a woman being murdered near April’s hometown had just freaked her out.
“What are you doing?”
She let out a huge squeal and jumped out of her seat, her knee banging into the desk.
“Effie!”
She stared up at Grady as he rushed into the room toward her.
“Um, morning, Grady.”
