I slid in beside her and rested my arm along the back of the booth. She looked up at me with those giant eyes and reached up to push her glasses back up her nose.
“Now what?” She kept her eyes on me, almost as if she was afraid to look around.
Leon slid in first on the other side and then Theo perched on the edge of the seat. I frowned at the tension radiating from him and was about to tell him that he could just watch from the office if he wanted to when Sutton beat me to it.
“You don’t like it out here, Theo.” She bit her lip and looked around. Her cheeks darkened but she kept looking. Finally, shespotted one of the many cameras. “You can watch instead. I’ll still know you’re here.”
Leon’s head whipped around to her, clearly as shocked as I felt. Already she knew enough about Theo to be able to say that to him. We were both even more shocked when Theo didn’t get cranky about it. He nodded at her and winked before disappearing.
“He likes you.” Leon leaned closer to her. “If he goes too far, let one of us know. He can be intense.”
Sutton straightened her shoulders and scowled at him.
“Theo would never hurt me.”
I wrapped her ponytail around my fist and dragged her head back until she had no choice but to stare up at me.
“While I appreciate the way you want to fight for Theo, you don’t speak to any of us in that tone while we’re in the club.”
The stubborn tilt of her jaw only intensified but she kept her lips shut. I let her go and leaned back in the booth, taking a moment to look around so I didn’t put Sutton on the table in front of me and devour her. She was completely untrained and knew nothing about the way we lived. Yet, I’d never wanted another woman more.
Leon moved closer to her.
“I trust Theo with my life. I trust him with Lee’s life. I know he’d never hurt you. He’s never acted like this over a woman, though, so Dom and I are just keeping an eye on things. I guess we don’t need to be worried about him scaring you away, though, do we? Seems you and Theo have a connection.”
Movement on the stage drew her gaze. I watched her lips part as she drank in the action before turning back to Leon.
“I… What?”
He grinned and I heard the gasp from our waitress as she stopped at our table and just stared at Leon. He wasn’t exactly known as a man who smiled so it made sense that the womanwas shocked. That didn’t mean Leon liked it, though. He went back to scowling and crossed his arms over his chest.
“Beer.”
I ordered the same and then looked at Sutton.
“You can have up to two drinks while in the club. We don’t allow guests to participate in things while tipsy. Since we’ll only be playing tonight if you ask, and since I doubt you’ll ask, we don’t have to worry about you getting tipsy tonight.”
She shook her head. “Just water, please. I don’t really drink.”
I wasn’t surprised. She was a total good girl.
On stage, one of the club’s most desired doms was strapping a submissive into a swing. Dom Carter loved to give a lot of pleasure with his pain and I’d known he’d requested time on the stage. He wasn’t as hardcore as some of the other men in the club but I knew he’d still shock our little angel.
“Dom Carter is a popular member of the club. I thought watching him would be a nice introduction for you.” I stared down at her and hid a smile at the way she was already wiggling around in her seat. “Do you need to go to the bathroom, Angel?”
She glared at me.
“If I did, I could take myself, Dominic. I’m an adult.”
I gripped her thigh and leaned into her space.
“You don’t seem to get it, Angel. In here, the only decision I want you to make is whether or not you consent. I’ll tell you when you need to piss. I’ll tell you when you can’t take any more and you need a break. I’ll tell you when you’ve had enough. Understand?”
She shook her head.
“I don’t understand. You don’t want me to have a brain while we’re in here? I don’t think I can do that.”
I cupped the side of her neck and leaned even closer.
