They described the rest of the place in basic terms to her briefly as they rode down on the elevator.
The second floor held offices, a kitchen, dining area, storage area, and spare bedrooms.It also had a small apartment off the kitchen for their cook.The main floor and basement were all devoted to their Sanctuary.
They talked about meeting in college.They and some friends went to a club a lot like theirs, and they loved it.A place where people with different ideas on sex and dominance can meet others like themselves and have a safe place to do it.Jon and Koa pooled their money after college and started the Sanctuary, which took off and became very successful in a short time.
Jon was thirty-one, Koa was thirty-two, and they were already multimillionaires.The thought of that shook Mina up and made doubts invade her mind.Voices in her head asked how she was going to keep the attention of men like these two for long.
She was led into a large industrial kitchen.Jon released her hand so she could move around the room.Instead of being cold with a lot of stainless steel, everything was a deep medium walnut wood.Even the fridge and large dishwashers had wood panels.The sink was a huge skirted white country style that added a bit of charm to the room.On the other side of the room sat a cozy nook with a window bench, pillows, and a table that could seat six comfortably.
The sight from the windows was spectacular.It faced the back of their six hundred acres.The garden had so many different plants and flowers.Little trees added shade to some of the places, and Mina could see a few benches scattered around.Past the garden sat a black wrought-iron fence, but instead of making it look cold, the decorative bars they used added an artistic element.Beyond the fence was a large rolling meadow and then the start of the woodlands.
She spun around when the door to the outside opened.An older woman with white-gray hair stopped.
“And you must be Mina the boys told me about.I’m Cece.”
She smiled, took the few steps closer, and held out her hand.“Yes, ma’am.You have the most beautiful kitchen and gardens I’ve ever seen.”
“Well, aren’t you the sweetest thing?I designed both.”
She turned slowly around.“I could never do that.”
“Do you like to cook?”Cece said and set down a large basket filled with fresh-cut flowers.
“Yes, ma’am, I do, but I really like to bake.”
Mina jerked her head around at the groan from the men.
“What?”Mina asked, confused.
Cece laughed.“I’m a damn good cook, but I can’t bake to save me.I’ve had to buy store-bought cakes and brownies for the boys’ sweet tooth.”
Mina giggled.
Cece smiled at her.“So, I’m putting you in charge of desserts.Do you think you can do that?”
She swallowed and blinked several times as emotion flooded her senses.She nodded eagerly.
“I would absolutely love to help with anything, ma’am.”
“Well, first off, you need to learn how to call me Cece, honey.And I’ll call you Mina.Would that be okay?”
Mina smiled.“Thank you so much, Cece.”
Cece laughed.“The boys told me you haven’t eaten in a while?”
“No, ma’...I mean, Cece.But I don’t want you to go to any trouble.”
Cece snorted.“Don’t you ever worry about that.I live in this kitchen, and I wouldn’t want it any other way.How about I make some scrambled eggs and toast?I don’t want to overload you with anything rich right now.It might upset your stomach.”
“That sounds wonderful.Can I help with the toast?”
Cece linked her arm through Mina’s and walked her around the room, showing her where everything is.
Within half an hour, the men and Mina were sitting at the kitchen table eating.Cece had already eaten and wanted to start on lunch preparations.
Jon wiped his mouth with a napkin and then sat down beside his plate.“Can we talk about your family, baby?”
Mina froze, and her eyes jerked to his.“What would you like to know?”she asked, set down her fork, and took a drink of juice.
