Free His Every Need by Terri L. Austin

your new job and we shouldn’t worry you with
     this stuff.”
    This was exactly the type of thing she should know. She was gone for two days and
     look at what happened. Monica was missing and Brynn had trouble at school. “No, honey,
     I’m never too busy for you. Tell me about this counselor meeting.”
    Brynn rolled her eyes. “Ms. Castor thinks I’m depressed because of Mom. Like um, hello?
     She says I’m not engaged enough. I need to add some extracurriculars and start participating
     in class more. Like it’s not enough that I get straight As? Now I have to talk too?”
    “What did Dad say?”
    “Dad totally agreed with her. He sat there staring and nodding like he was hypnotized.
     Now I have to join at least one club.” She poked herself in the chest. “You know I’m
     not a joiner.”
    It might be good for Brynn to break out of her shell a bit, make a couple new friends,
     speak up once in a while. But, if Allie sided with the school counselor, she’d further
     alienate her sister. She chose her words carefully. “I know it’s unfair that she’s
     forcing this on you. But maybe you can pick something that’s not too terrible? Maybe
     Spanish or Math Club?”
    Brynn’s eyes widened. “Do you want me to get beaten up on the bus?”
    “No?”
    “I’ll figure something out. She gave me a book to choose from. But I am not talking
     in class, so she can just get over it.” Brynn was so adamant, Allie simply nodded
     and kept her own mouth shut.
    Then Brynn peered up at her. “Can you make me a grilled cheese or something?”
    Allie couldn’t remember the last time she didn’t have to prod Brynn to eat. “Yeah,
     of course. Want tomato soup with it?”
    “Do we have goldfish?”
    “No, but we could go get some.” Allie reached out and patted Brynn’s leg.
    “Okay.” She nibbled her lip. “And maybe we could watch a movie or something?”
    Allie wrinkled her brow. “I don’t know. You’re not going to make me watch another
     teen vampire movie, are you?”
    Brynn actually smiled. “Maybe.”
    “You’re cruel, Brynnie. Very cruel.”
    Allie was supposed to be back at the mistress mansion by twelve, but to hell with
     that. Her sister needed her. Trevor Blake could wait.
    ***
    Trevor stood in the foyer and glanced at his watch for the seventh time in the last
     twenty minutes. He tried calling the cell phone he’d given Allie, but it kept going
     to voice mail. He shouldn’t have let her go off on her own, should have had Simmons
     drive her. What if she had gotten into an accident?
    No, that was ludicrous. Of course she hadn’t been in an accident, she was simply defying
     him. And that had him fuming.
    He’d paid off her family’s debt, forgiven her father’s loan, bought her a whole new
     bloody wardrobe, and kept his cock to himself. All that he asked in return was that
     she be here at noon. So he could take her to fucking lunch.
    A smile tugged at the corners of his mouth. Well, she would regret this little act
     of rebellion. Yes, she would very much regret inconveniencing him today.
    He stalked to his office. Loosening his tie, he shoved back his chair and fell into
     it as he stared blankly at one of the computer screens. Mistress, indeed. It was high
     time he got what he’d paid for.
    Trevor worked throughout the afternoon. By the time Allie finally got home, it was
     five forty-seven. Arnold informed him the minute she arrived. Instead of demanding
     an explanation immediately, he let his anger simmer as he continued to work until
     dinner.
    A few minutes after seven, he sauntered into the dining room and cast a glance her
     way as he took his seat at the head of the table. She looked lovely in the navy dress.
     He knew for a fact she would look even lovelier out of it.
    She glanced up at him. “Sorry about this afternoon. Monica didn’t come home until
     three this morning and now she’s missing. Brynn was upset and needed me. Her school
     counselor is making her
