I will have
to wait.”
“No, I don’t,” I called from behind him. “Just open the
door, and let me in. Then beat her ass and fuck her or do whatever it is you
need to.”
Tony turned, pinning me with a stony glare.
“I don’t follow orders from a sub, Dahlia,” he growled
before spinning back toward Destiny. “We’ll do this another time.”
Great! I’d gone and
pissed him off. A proper submissive would never tell a Dom what to do; it was
known as topping from the bottom. But at that particular moment, I was fed up,
knocked down, and freezing my ass off. There wasn’t a submissive bone in my
body. There was no reason Tony had to rearrange his plans of a little
spank-n-fuck, at least not for me.
“Fine. Dahlia needs all the help
she can get anyway,” Destiny sneered, her words dripped with sarcasm as she
flashed a hateful glare my way. “You two have tons of fun. Try not to break
her, Sir.”
Everything about the girl screamed of jealousy, and I wanted
to laugh. What the hell was going on in her peroxide saturated brain? Did she
honestly think I’d allow Tony to vent his ‘frustrations’ on my ass? Not in this lifetime… or the next.
Destiny sped out of the parking lot, sending gravel spewing
in all directions. Tony turned back to me. His eyes narrowed, his face lined in
an angry frown as he stormed back up the stairs.
“Don’t be pissy with me. I told
you to take her inside. You’re the one that sent her away.” I huffed as Tony
punched in a complex set of numbers on the security pad.
“You don’t dictate what I do, brat,” he scolded as he jerked
the heavy door open.
“Stop calling me that!” I bristled as I rushed past him and
marched down the long hall.
“Why? It’s the truth. You undermined my dominance in front
of another sub. I don’t care how shitty your day has been.” His tone was
downright caustic. “I’ve given you a lot of passes over the past few hours,
princess, but no more and especially not here. You’ll show proper respect, or
else.”
“Or else what, Tony?” I snorted and
rolled my eyes. “You think for one second I’d ever let you beat my ass? Get real. We both know that’ll never
happen. You’re not going to lay a hand on me, so stop with the idle threats.
Got it?”
I folded my arms over my chest in defiance, shivering as the
cold soggy clothes pressed against my flesh.
“Oh, I got it. I’ve got a hell of a lot more than you give
me credit for, angel.” He stepped in closer, his warm breath fluttered over my
ear. “Stop pushing me, Leagh . I’m not going to tell
you again.”
The harsh tone of his whisper left no doubt, Tony’s patience
had run out.
Raising my chin mulishly, I gave a curt nod. “Fine. You’re a DM, so I assume you have a Master key that
will unlock George’s door, correct?”
“I do.”
“Then would you please let me in the room. Sir? ”
“Only because you asked so nicely,” Tony smirked as he slid
the key into the lock. Pausing, his shoulders stiffened. He turned, and his
dark eyes softened. “Are you sure you’re ready to do this?”
“No. I’m not ready at all. But frankly I’m out of options.”
I choked back a sob, quickly swallowing it down. “Please. Just open the goddamn
door.”
“No, angel, you’re not out of options,” Tony sighed, tipping
my chin up with his fingers. “We can leave here. I’ll take you shopping, get you a phone, whatever you need. We can grab
some dinner. Then I’ll take you home and get you settled into one of my guest
rooms. You don’t have to stay here and put yourself through this. There are other options, Leagh .”
It would be so easy to take him up on his offer and walk
away from the painful ghosts waiting on the other side of the door. But I
couldn’t remain suspended in the murky limbo I’d been trapped in for the past
four days. I had to find a way to work past my grief and
