“Not hoping, exactly.I wasn’t trying to earn a spanking, but… I should have been spanked, right?If I’d been anyone else, I would have been.”
“No.”Law shook his head, throwing the word out there immediately because he could see how frustrated she was.“You weren’t spanked because you had been good the days you worked before that and also because he deserved it.”
“Oh.”She still didn’t quite meet his eyes, but some of the simmering tension he sensed dissipated.“I see.I guess that makes sense.”But he could tell she was still disappointed.
“When was the last time you scened with someone?”
“During class.”She looked even glummer.“I don’t think I’m going to get a chance to really scene with someone again until the next Dom class…ifI can convince Patrick to let me sub again.”Her lower lip pouted, making her look even younger and making him feel like a dirty old man for finding it attractive.“No one wants to scene with Andrew’s little sister.”
Damn.She looked so sad, pushing her chicken and macaroni and cheese around her plate, it tugged something in his chest.
“I could scene with you.”The words were out of his mouth before he thought them through, and the moment they were, he wanted to take them back… except she’d immediately perked up.Sat up straighter, met his gaze again, and her lips tipped up in a hopeful smile.Taking it back would be like kicking a puppy.
“Really?”
Fuck it.One scene wouldn’t hurt anything, and maybe it would help him get his fantasies out of his head.
“Sure.Are you more comfortable at Stronghold or Marquis?”
She pulled her bottom lip with her teeth while she considered the question, and Law’s dick twitched against his jeans.Yeah, it wasn’t easy to look at her mouth without remembering that his fantasy of having his cock between her lips had taken over his masturbating session last night.
“Marquis probably…” she said slowly, though she looked uncertain.“If that’s okay.”
Law got it.A lot of the members treated Marquis as a special treat.He and Julie had access whenever they wanted since they were teaching the classes as a favor to Patrick and Olivia.He got one night a month as a Stronghold member, anyway, which he never used.
Normally, he wouldn’t suggest taking a sub to Marquis, but Iris was different because of her brother and everyone else at Stronghold.
“Marquis is fine.Your last day of service for Patrick is Thursday.Are you free Friday or Saturday?”
“Both.”
“Then let’s do Friday.”Feeling suddenly light, Law grinned.“I’ve got your number from the class, so I’ll text you.”
“Okay, great.”She looked a little dazed, as though she couldn’t believe the conversation was really happening.Truthfully, neither could Law, but now that it was, he couldn’t find the wherewithal to stop it.Didn’t really think he wanted to.
“Great.”Getting to his feet, Law nodded down at her.“I’ll talk to you later.”
As he strode out of the restaurant, he felt like whistling.
ChapterFive
Iris
“So, he just left?No hug, no kiss, he just got up and left?”Rae sounded as though she was torn between being confused and insulted.
“Did he seem happy?”Domi wanted to know.
After an afternoon of running through the encounter in her head, Iris decided she needed to call reinforcements.Noelle hadn’t come home yet, and Avery would already be at work, but she’d known Rae would definitely be available.She’d lucked out that Domi had been there, too, so she’d told them the whole story.
“He was smiling, so… yes?”Iris answered Domi instead of Rae’s rhetorical question.He’d smiled a lot, actually.Iris hadn’t expected that.Especially when he’d smiled about her pouring a drink on that Dom’s lap.He sure as heck hadn’t smiled when he’d been scolding her in the club.
Maybe that’s because that wasMasterLaw, and today, she’d met normal Law.Regular day Law.Lawyer Law.She was getting weird in her head because she’d been weirded out.
“Is it a date-date or just a scene-date?”Rae mused out loud.Another rhetorical question.It was nice to hear she wasn’t the only one wondering.
Master Law had confused the heck out of her today, there was no denying that.
“It sounds like a scene-date… right?”Iris asked.Master Law wouldn’t want to go on a date-date with her.Even though he’d come over to sit with her today.And talked to her.Then offered to scene with her.
