Free Brie Masters Love in Submission: Submissive in Love by Red Phoenix Page B

was to come back to you and explain what had happened. I didn’t want you to be angry with me—or with him.”
    “Brie,” Sir said reassuringly, “there was no reason to worry. Nosaka is not Mr. Wallace.” He played with a stray curl, smiling down at her. “Although we’ve been down this road before, you are not the same woman I first collared. You have learned much since then, and the truth is…I’ve grown as well.”
    She smiled as she laid her head against his chest. “I never want you to doubt my love, Sir. Never.”
    He answered her heartfelt declaration with a question. “I want an honest answer, Brie. Take time to think about it if you need before you speak.”
    She hugged him tighter. “Yes, Sir.”
    “How does this new admission make you feel towards Nosaka?”
    She looked up at him shyly. “At first I was thrilled to know Tono’s father had changed his opinion of me. His rejection hurt me deeply.” She let out a long sigh. “But then I realized that if he had approved of me that night, I wouldn’t be here with you now.”
    “And that makes you feel how?” Sir pressed.
    Brie told him the simple truth. “The moment you put this collar around my neck,” she lightly touched the silver collar, “my fate was sealed. I want no other, even though I still love Tono Nosaka.”
    Sir leaned down and brushed his lips against hers. “Good.”
    She smiled, crushing herself against his hard frame. He briefly returned her hug, but pulled away, stating, “Ren has lost his father today, and has compounded his suffering by embarrassing himself with us. I can’t imagine his state of mind right now. Even though it will not be easy for him, I think it’s best that we meet. In my eyes, what he’s done is understandable, even though it broke protocol. I have no problem overlooking the incident, because he is not someone who will allow that to happen again.”
    Brie let out a sigh of relief. “I love being collared to such an exceptional man.”
    Sir chuckled lightly. “You make me nervous with the height of the pedestal you have me on, Brie.”
    She shook her head. “No, Sir, I have you set squarely on the ground. I realize you’re human, but you are an incredible specimen of humanity—in many ways.” She ran her hands over his chest and breathed in his masculine scent. “And I adore your modesty.”
    He lifted her chin, tsk ing. “Do not mock your Master, sub.”
    She grinned. “Never, Master.”
    He kissed her nose, stating, “Let’s put Nosaka out of his misery.”

    The meeting with Tono at his mother’s home was uncomfortable to begin with. It was obvious from his swollen eyes that Tono had been grieving, but one would never know it based on the serene expression on his face.
    Sir held out his hand. “Ren, I want to express again our deepest sympathies for your loss.”
    Tono nodded stiffly as he shook it. “It was expected.”
    Sir put his other hand over Tono’s and shook with more conviction. “Expected or not, it’s still just as significant.”
    Tono grunted. “True. Knowing his death was imminent has not lessened the loss.” He added sadly, “I’d hoped it would.”
    Brie noticed he was purposely avoiding looking in her direction.
    Sir noticed it too. “Rather than dance around the elephant in the room, let me just say that I understand why you broke protocol. There is no reason for any tension between us.”
    “It was inexcusable,” Tono replied, glancing briefly at Brie.
    “No, Ren. It was unfortunate, but not inexcusable.”
    Tono turned to Brie, bowing before her formally. “I’m truly sorry, Miss Bennett.”
    “Such formality is unnecessary between friends,” Sir said, patting Tono’s back.
    “Fine.” Tono looked at her self-consciously and added, “I am sorry, Brie.”
    She smiled. “I accept your apology with a full heart, Tono Nosaka.”
    His mother interrupted their conversation, and refused to leave until Tono excused himself to attend to her. Despite her
