“My car’s right over here.”
Vicious kept Sway under the protection of his arm as they walked towards their car. Putting her in, he shut the car door and stepped around the back of the car to climb in on the driver’s side. Closing the door he looked at his beautiful wife. “Are you okay? Did you talk to Lottie about everything?”
“Yes, and I think we’re going to be good.”
Sway caught sight of Razor and Lottie walking towards his car. Smiling, she pointed to the couple. “You know that those two together will be atomic.”
“I’m banking on it. Razor needs something to shake him up.”
“I hope they know what they’re doing.”
“Oh, babe, I think they’re both well aware of what they’re doing.”
They sat waiting for Razor and Lottie to drive by. When they did, the couple looked like they were in a deep conversation. Viciousthought his wife might be on to something.Atomic. What a great way to explain Lottie and Razor together.
Chapter Twenty-Two
The ride home was quieter than Razor liked. Still, he respected her space and didn’t want to force Lottie to talk about things between her and Sway more than she was willing. They made small talk about the meal and the jokes, but not much else. Razor wondered what was on her mind; was it all the flirting? Was she now nervous being alone with him?
When they walked into her apartment, Razor immediately noticed all the changes she’d made to the place. He liked the vibe. As he followed Lottie into the kitchen, he watched as she pulled down two wine glasses. “Would you like a glass of wine?”
“That’s not what I want.”
“What is it you want, Razor?”
“What if I told you, I want you naked in bed?”
He was moving this along way too fast. A year ago, she’d be stripping as she seductively walked towards her bedroom. This wasn’t a year ago; it was a different time. She was different. Something in her head couldn’t shut off and let her be intimate with another person. “I’d say yes. Just not tonight.”
“I see. You can toy with me at dinner. You can come toThe Red Doorand watch me with another woman. But you won’t be with me.” He saw the surprised look on her face. “Yeah, you aren’t that good at being stealthy, sweetheart.”
Razor stepped closer to her, crowding her. When she moved back, he followed.
Lottie could feel the panic rising. Perspiration gathered above her lip and across her forehead. Even her palms were beginning to sweat. “Please, give me some space.”
“I asked you a question, Lottie. I expect an answer.”
“I’m not one of your subs. I don’t have to give you anything.”
Smirking at hearing her raised voice, Razor liked it when she showed that fire that burned low. He couldn’t wait to get her fired up just to cool her down. “Are you jealous of who I do atThe Red Door?”
“I’m not interested in discussing who you “do” atThe Red Door.” Lottie wrapped her arms around herself, suddenly feeling exposed. “Especially your current lover.”
“Shannon is not my lover. Current or otherwise. She’s a sub that participates in scenes with not just me but several other Doms at the club. She’s also under contract.” He shouldn’t have to explain himself to her. To anyone. This was why he didn’t date.
Turning away from her, he needed to calm down; to change the subject, he’d already let his control slip. Something only Lottie could make happen. He noticed multiple empty wine bottles. Walking over to the kitchen area, he took notice of the dishes in the sink, which appeared to be a wine glass and a coffee cup.Hadn’t she had a mishap not too long ago with a wine bottle and the bathroom counter?
“How much do you drink?”
It was easier to focus on her shortcomings than his…was it wrong…yes…did he care in that moment? No.
“Why are you gonna lecture me, Dad?”
“I’m not trying to be your dad.”
“Good, because I won’t be calling you daddy.”
“I don’t ask women to call me daddy.” Frustrated with her, he moved from the kitchen towards the door.
