“Gooddifferent?Orbaddifferent?”Kelly asked.
Maeve’s eyes lit up.“Definitely good.I’ve never thought about having two Masters.”
I felt a knot lodge in my throat as I slipped on my shoes.I’d thought about it.In fact, I’d almost had it.
“I’ll see you guys Thursday night,” Raine said softly as she moved toward the door.
“Good night!”Maeve called out.“God, I’m not sure I’ll be able to sleep after that.”
“I’m heading out, too,” I said, not wanting to disappear without saying something.We were going to be together as a group for the next month.My goal was not to alienate the very women I would be hanging out with.
“See you Thursday,” Kelly and Maeve said at the same time.
With a tenuous smile, I grabbed my purse and headed for the door.
To my surprise, Cav was standing outside the locker room, evidently waiting for me.I didn’t stop walking, pretending I didn’t notice him.
“Jamie,” he said softly.
Or hear him.
My feet continued moving toward the stairs.
“Jamie,” he repeated firmly.
“Good night, Master Cav.”I offered a quick wave over my head.
A firm hand gripped my upper arm, halting my descent on the stairs.With no choice but to stop, I glared into that ridiculously handsome face.
“I need to go,” I said softly, the words sounding far too much like a plea.
His eyes shifted over to Edge’s office.The door was closed.
“We need to talk,” Cav stated.
“Who’s we?”I asked as Edge’s door opened and he stepped out with Jenny.His hand was on the small of her back as he guided her toward the locker room.She was smiling up at him, causing my gut to twist into a painful knot, bile racing into my throat.
Seeing him touching her like that, the same way he’d touched me the first night I was here…
I broke free from Cav’s grip and practically ran down the stairs, ignoring him when he called out to me.A sob broke free, but I managed to make it to my car without tears falling.Barely.
How could I have been so stupid?
I should’ve known this would happen.Except for our bowling date, Edge had kept me at arm’s length.I could only think this was why.He wasn’t intending for anything to happen between us because when it came down to it, I wasn’t a submissive.
As for Cav … well, I didn’t want to think he would do that to me, but I had picked up on how he took most of his cues from Edge.
They didn’t want me.I was just another toy for them to train.Would they be taking Jenny out on a date now?One at a time or both of them together?Would they pretend she was special, make her feel the way they’d made me feel?Would they go back to Edge’s apartment, walk her through what it would be like if she were their submissive?Would she sleep in Edge’s bed, securely snuggled between them?
The tears were pouring down my face as I headed home, hating myself for being so naive.I had fallen for it from the start, thought I meant something to them.
I berated myself for the entire drive back to my apartment, anger and embarrassment warring.I’d fallen for it.The only good thing was that I hadn’t allowed things to go further.At least I hadn’t been stupid enough to sleep with them.
A sob racked my entire body.
I’d wanted to.I had dreamed about it, fantasized, made it into some stupid romantic story.
It wasn’t romantic.Not even a little.
