“And why not?”He held up his hand and grimaced.“And don’t say because she’s Zeke Lautner’s sister.”

“But she is,” I countered with a smirk.

“Maybe.But she’s also a grown woman who knows what she wants.Zeke’s not her guard dog.And he entrusted her to you.There’s a reason for that.”

I laughed, but it was not funny by any means.“Because he knew I could keep my hands off.”

How’s that working out for you?

It wasn’t.She was pushing me to a point I knew I was going to snap.She made it difficult to remember the reason I had agreed to this.Especially when the little brat taunted me.Jamie was looking to me to help her explore this world, and I had to admit, I was fucking honored that she’d chosen me.For brief moments I couldalmostforget she was Zeke’s sister, that she was more than a decade younger than me, and that she was completely inexperienced in this realm.

I slid my hand through my hair, tugged roughly on the strands.“For fuck’s sake, Cav.She doesn’t even know what it means to be a submissive.She has no real idea of what these Doms would ask of her.WhatIwould ask of her.”

“Then teach her,” he countered.“That’s your job, right?Teaching submissives about the ins and outs?Safe, sane, consensual, and all that shit.There’s no one better at it than you are.We can ensure she doesn’t get taken advantage of.We can protect her.”

I glared at him.I hated that he always had a point.More accurately, I fucking hated that Cav could so easily talk me into shit like this.That was the way it had always been between us.

You don’t think that’s why you wanted to talk to him alone?So he could do exactly that?

Fine.The voice was right again.I had wanted Cav to convince me to give in.He was the only one who had that much power over me.I wanted to do this.Not only because Jamie had asked me, but also because Cav was here.Admittedly, I missed him.He’d been gone for far too long, and now that he was back, I couldn’t help but think there were a few loose strings he and I needed to tie up.Including him would ensure he stuck around for a bit.

“Fine,” I stated.“But not tonight.”

His forehead creased with confusion.“What?”

“We’re not starting this tonight,” I clarified.“If Jamie’s sure this is what she wants, then fine, I’ll go along with it.The two of us can help her explore so she can write her paper.”I couldn’t believe I was saying that.“However, the first thing I’ll have her do is think it through.She can’t be impulsive about this.”

“What about the submissive training class?”he suggested.“Why don’t you have her enroll in that?”

It was a question I’d asked myself in the beginning, as well.“I’ve considered it.”

“So what’s the issue?”

“Well, for one, Zeke would strangle me with my own hands.”I held up my hand before he could argue.“Zeke’s a Master in this club, Cav.He comes here frequently.I seriously doubt he’d want to see his sister in some compromising positions.”

“Good point,” he conceded.“However, there are ways around that.We can modify the curriculum for her.Keep her close.”He grinned.“She can be the teacher’s pet.”

Now you’re talking.

My dick jerked.

No.No, damn it.I couldn’t let this get out of hand.

Cav sighed.“I can see that big brain of yours workin’.What’s your plan, Edge?”

That was the hard question.I didn’t have a clue how this would map out.If Zeke found out I was intending to dominate his sister…

From teaching to dominating … nice progression, you big, bad Dom.

“Quit thinkin’ about her brother,” Cav mumbled.

My gaze shot up to him.“How do you— You know what?Never mind.”I pushed to my feet and paced the few feet to the door.

“What if we came at this from a different angle?”Cav asked.

I turned to face him.“What do you mean?”

He laughed.“What if we took the opportunity to dig intoherpsyche a little?”
