Page 137 of Their Naughty Student
“I have a question,” Talon stated, his deep, booming voice echoing in the room.“Since you’ve allowed your submissive to dictate your course of action, how will you handle her?”
Edge’s gaze caught mine.“Cav and I will be subjecting her to all the assignments.Rather than simply having one of the submissives perform the action, she’ll be required to do so as well.”
“Does she know this?”Jane asked.
“Not as of yet,” Edge told her.“However, she’ll learn of the change at the same time as the other students.Tomorrow night.If she chooses not to perform the tasks, she’ll be removed from the class and Cav will return to the panel.”
“Personally,” Mistress D said, “I’m rather interested in seeing how this plays out.I won’t deny the class has gotten a little stale.I like the idea of doubling up on the submissives.”
“We agree,” Langston added as he stepped into the room.“I’ll be the first to tell you, it’s gonna be a learning experience for you as well.Taking on a single submissive between two Dominants isn’t as easy as you’d think.”
“I prefer two submissives,” Jane said with a smirk.“But I’m willing to see where this goes.”
“If anyone has any objections, come speak to me.You’ll find the new alignment on the desk.The submissives will be joining us tomorrow at eight.If you’ll excuse me…” Edge looked to me.“Can I talk to you in my office?”
I didn’t respond, but followed him out of the training room, across the floor to his office.Once inside, he closed the door.
“I’m sorry to spring this on you like this.”
“Yeah?”I wasn’t buying it.“I get the feelin’ it wouldn’t matter if I objected.”
He turned to face me.“Do you?”
“I don’t know yet.The idea of putting her on display…” Truth was, I wasn’t sure I was on board with any of this.Using her as an example didn’t sit well.
Edge put his hands on his hips.“When I stopped by to talk to Jamie, she wasn’t having it.I pushed just hard enough to get her to admit she was hurt by my actions.”He sighed.“What the fuck was I supposed to do?”
I took a step forward, hesitated, then decided what the hell.I moved in close, close enough to feel the warmth of his body, which I’d missed the past few days.“I’d’ve done the same thing, I’m sure.”
To my surprise, Edge didn’t move away.His hands shifted from his hips to mine.His voice lowered.“I feel out of control, Cav.Between you and her … I don’t know which way is up.”
I couldn’t resist, so I leaned in and kissed him, cupping the back of his neck.I wasn’t sure I’d ever seen him like this.“We’ll get through it.”
Edge shook his head, took one step back, but didn’t break his grip on my hips.“What if she decides not to do it?”
I didn’t want to think about that, but I knew it had to be said.“Then we’ll deal with it.”
And though I said the words aloud, I knew deep down that Jamie was exactly what we needed.In a submissive capacity or not.Hell, she was the one who brought me and Edge closer.I didn’t believe in coincidence, but I did believe that things happened for a reason.Jamie was put in our path because she was meant to be there.As were we.
“Let’s get through tomorrow’s session,” I told him.“See how it goes.”
We separated, and Edge thrust his hand through his hair.
In an effort to lighten the mood, I changed the subject.“So what prompted you to bring Talon on board?You know he’s looking for something very specific, right?”
“I do.”Edge perched on the edge of his desk, crossed his arms.
“You know he’s got four slaves at home?”I asked.
He chuckled.“Yep.I knew that.Didn’t know you did, though.”
For those who thought Zeke Lautner was ruthless, they hadn’t met Talon.For fuck’s sake, the guy didn’t even have a first or last name.He was simply Talon.
“Do you think one of these submissives is right for him?”
“No.Not at all.”Edge grinned.“But I think Ian and Isaac might get a run for their money with one, maybe two of them, too.”
“Two?”That sounded interesting.
