Page 110 of Their Ruthless Sadist

Nope. Not going to think about it.

“Just promise me one thing,” I said on a sigh.

He looked skeptical. “What’s that?”

“That you’ll warn me when she’s coming to the club. Because … no. If you forget, and I show up to find my sister… I mean it. If I walk into Dichotomy and see her, I swear to God, I will kill you, then resuscitate you and do it again and again.”

A small smile pulled at Edge’s mouth. “You’ve got my word.”

There was gratitude in his eyes, and I found myself oddly relieved. My sister could do far worse than Gregory Edge. I just had to remember that this was my idea when things went south between them. And when that happened, I was going to lose one of the closest friends I had, because no matter what, I would never turn my back on my sister. Not for anyone.

Edge nodded, then turned to go. He cast a quick look over his shoulder as though expecting me to launch myself at him and beat him to a pulp. It was surprising that I didn’t want to. I’d never felt as though anyone was good enough for my sister. However, Gregory Edge was one of the finest men I knew.

When he walked out, I stared after him.

It was time I found my fuck toys.

“I hate to interrupt the party,” Dale said when he popped his head into the break room, “but you two are being summoned.”

He was looking directly at me, so I assumed he was referring to me and Case.

“Well, ladies,” Case said with a smirk. “That’s our cue. It seems our Sadist is ready to inflict some pain.”

He didn’t appear at all bothered by the notion.

“Good luck,” Addison teased. “I think I’ll go back down to my office, too. Maybe I’ll get to hear some moans and groans coming from that direction.”

“Not if he gags them,” Luci noted. “Does he enjoy that? Gagging you?”

Case waved her off. “A masochist never tells.”

I was the first to get to my feet, but Case was right behind me.

“Maybe we can grab lunch later. You know, if we can walk,” I told them with a smile.

“I’m down.” Addison smirked. “Even if you can’t walk. That way I can make fun of you.”

I couldn’t help but like Addison. She’d come out of her shell ever since she hooked up with her two Doms, her rebellious streak shining brightly.

“Come on,” I urged Case. The last thing I wanted was to keep Zeke waiting.

I practically had to run to keep up as Case darted for the stairs. We arrived at Zeke’s office to find him sitting in his chair, staring out the window.

He must’ve heard us because his attention redirected our way when we stepped into the room.

“Close the door,” he instructed.

Since I was the last to enter, I closed the door behind me, then turned and gave Zeke my full attention.

“Do you know what a humbler is?”

I frowned, but not because I was confused. I knew exactly what a humbler was, and while I’d never used one, I knew from research that the damn thing was brutal.

“Yes, Zeke,” Case replied, an edge of excitement in his voice.

Zeke’s grin was ferocious. “Have you worn one?”
