Free Brie’s Denver Desires (Submissive in Love, #2) by Red Phoenix

of holding a tiny Sir in her arms made Brie’s heart flutter. She couldn’t really imagine it, yet the thought of having his child enchanted her.
    Lea glanced over. “Hey, what’s that adorable look on your face all about?”
    Brie blushed. “It’s nothing. Just glad to be with you again, girlfriend.”

    Once they’d pulled up to the ice-skating rink and parked, Lea got out her phone to text the girl they were meeting. Lea smiled when she read the response. “Autumn is already here and can’t wait to meet you.”
    “Great,” Brie said with more enthusiasm than she felt. Making a fool of herself on the ice was not her idea of fun, and she still had her reservations about Lea’s new friend.
    Lea grabbed Brie by the arm and squeezed her tight. “I can’t believe it. I have my bestest friend meeting my new best friend. I feel so lucky!”
    Autumn was waiting for them in the main lobby, hiding in the shadows of a corner. Lea released Brie and went straight for her, pulling her away from the wall.
    Brie noticed two things right away. First, the girl wore a scarf that covered most of her face. Second, she moved stiffly when Lea pulled her away from the wall. Neither was offputting, just odd. Brie held out her hand and smiled at Autumn. “Hello. I’ve heard a lot about you from Lea. Well, that’s not true. I’ve heard very little about you, just that Lea thinks you’re the best thing to happen since sliced bread.”
    The girl’s eyes twinkled as she took the hand Brie offered. “I’ve heard all about you, Brie. Lea can’t stop talking about her favorite stinky cheese.”
    Brie gave Lea a sideways glance. “Stinky cheese? Really, Lea? The two of us haven’t even met yet and she’s already calling me stinky cheese.”
    Lea shrugged, grinning like the Cheshire cat.
    Autumn took pity on Brie. “You’re right, I haven’t introduced myself properly. It’s unfair that I know so much about you but you know nothing of me.” She moved away from the main entrance and into a darkened hallway. With a graceful movement, Autumn unwound the scarf around her head and revealed her face to Brie. She had a deep scar running from her ear to her lip, underneath her right cheekbone. Autumn smiled hesitantly at Brie.
    “There’s no reason to cover your face. You’re beautiful,” Brie assured her.
    “You’re very kind to say that.” She caressed the scar self-consciously. “I prefer to get to know people before I show my face. Normally I wouldn’t be so bold with someone I’ve just met, but based on everything Lea’s shared, I feel as if I know you already. Plus I have this good feeling about you—it’s as if we’ve been friends for a long time.”
    Brie was honored Autumn felt that way. “I’m not sure if it’s because Lea loves you so much or you’re just naturally awesome, but I feel the same way.”
    Autumn’s smile was genuine and real. It made the scar on her face invisible to Brie.
    Lea giggled, hugging both girls at the same time. “Now that you two have met, my life is complete.”
    Brie rolled her eyes.
    “Lea is a bit over-the-top, but I like that,” Autumn said, looking at Lea with affection.
    “I like that about Lea the Lackluster too,” Brie agreed, pinching Lea’s cheeks.
    “So would you two like to skate now?” Autumn asked, gesturing to the rink on the other side of the double doors.
    Brie shrugged. “Sorry, but I don’t know how to skate.”
    “I’d be happy to teach you both,” Autumn offered.
    Lea and Brie looked at each other and shrugged before making their way to the skate rental counter while Autumn headed into the rink. “Meet you on the ice,” she called to them.
    “Sure thing,” Lea said, waving to her. “Hey, Autumn, what did the doctor say to the girl who fell on her bum while ice-skating?”
    “I don’t know,” Autumn shot back enthusiastically.
    “Do you want some ice for that?”
    Autumn’s twittering laughter echoed down the hallway.
    “I seriously
