“How does your schedule look for next week?”Edge asked, those electric-blue eyes twinkling.
I mentally skimmed my calendar but couldn’t come up with anything.“Aside from class, I should be free.”
“Good.Keep it that way.”
I wasn’t sure what that meant, but I nodded.What else could I do?
“After we’ve spent some time with you outside the club,” Edge explained, “we’ll discuss what our options are.”
“Options?”
His head cocked slightly, his eyes still locked with mine.“As in whether we’ll grant your request, take you on as a submissive.”
He made it sound so formal, as though this was cut-and-dried.Rules, protocols, training.No intimacy.Another dose of disappointment flooded me, this one stronger than I expected.
“Do I have a say in this?”I asked.
Edge shook his head, his voice low, his eyes fierce.“No.”
I felt my insides melt.I had no idea why I liked that he took all the control from me, but the thought moved me so much, my knees weakened.Thankfully, Cav was directly behind me.His big hands curved over my hips, holding me in place.Heat sizzled from his touch, making me light-headed.
Lordy.I wasn’t sure I would survive this should they decide we were going to proceed.
“Should Cav and I agree this is the right avenue to take, we’ll discuss further.”
I nodded.That sounded straightforward enough.
“There’s one more rule, cupcake.”Cav leaned in close to my ear once more.“Until we’ve come to a final decision, you will not be allowed to date anyone else.In turn, we’ll be doing the same.Understood?”
“Yes, Master Cav.”
Edge smiled, and heaven help me, I was pretty sure the earth shifted beneath my feet.
“Will I need a safe word?”I asked.
Edge’s mischievous smirk made my insides riot again.“You’ll need a lot of things if I allow you into my club.A safe word, blood tests”—his heated gaze trailed down my body, then back up—“an expansive wardrobe.”
I swallowed hard.
“Until then,” he continued, “we’ll rely on good ol’ vanilla rules of conduct.”
“Such as?”
He grinned, but there was a hint of mirth in it.“Should you not be comfortable with something, it’s your responsibility to let us know.”
“May I ask another question, Master Edge?”
“You may.”
I took a deep breath, then forced the words out before I chickened out.“If you do decide to proceed, will you be sharing me?”
Those electric-blue irises flared hot, and I knew I’d hit a nerve.A good one.
“That’s yet to be determined.But it’s a very real possibility.”
I nodded, processing my question and his answer one more time.It dawned on me how it sounded.I meant sharing me with Cav.His answer had not clarified that.A shiver of unease teased down my spine.I did not want him to share me with anyone else.I didn’t want to think of another Dom’s hands on me.It didn’t sit right.
“Do you have another question?”
