Jake turned to glare at his deputy. “What?”
“How the hell can you be so calm?” Logan added. “Are you fine with Laken being in there without you?”
Duncan sighed. “No, I’m not, and she’s earned herself a long hard session over my knee.”
“When Gavin finds out, Lila won’t sit for a week. Mind you, sometimes I think she breaks the rules just to earn the punishment.”
Of course she did. These women were trouble. But he’d thought they’d have kept Molly out of it. They knew she was still recovering. She had no business being out at night, let alone here without his protection.
Why hadn’t he gotten her a collar?
Because he didn’t want her to feel pressured, to think he expected anything of her. She needed time to recover. He’d kept their lovemaking to just that, soft, sweet love.
And, yeah, there were times when he’d wanted nothing more than to order her to strip and tie her up and take her hard and fast. To turn her ass pink, plug it, then fuck her tight pussy. He wanted all of that.
But then he’d remembered everything she’d been through. The recovery, the fear and pain, and he’d always remembered she was doing it for him. For them. And if she needed time to recover without him going all Dom on her then, by God, he would give her that time.
“Jake, stop.” Duncan reached out and grabbed his arm as he reached the dungeon doors. The bouncer hadn’t tried to stop them, even though Colin and Logan weren’t members and Jake no doubt had a face like a thundercloud.
“Get your hand off me,” Jake snarled.
“Not until you calm down and think for a minute.”
“About what?”
“About why she’s here.”
“They’re here because they’re brats and like to cause trouble,” Logan said in a low voice. “And Saxon let them in because he’s an asshole. A dead one.”
“What he said,” Jake added. “I just can’t believe they bought Molly with them when she’s still recovering.”
“Didn’t she get a good report from the doctor?” Colin asked.
“Yes, but that doesn’t mean she’s up to going out. She shouldn’t be here.”
“Not alone, no,” Duncan said. “And they’re all owed punishment for that. But what if this is her way of saying she’s ready for more?”
“She’s still recovering,” he said stubbornly.
“She looks pretty recovered to me,” a deep voice sounded from behind them.
Jake turned around to find Saxon standing there, a smirk on his face.
“You! I’m going to kill you.” Logan stepped forward, his hands raised as though he were really going to strangle Saxon.
Duncan slid between them. He reached out and put his hands on Logan’s chest to stop him from moving forward. Duncan was a muscular, fit guy but he was straining to hold Logan back.
“Jake, little bit of help here?” Duncan asked.
Jake crossed his arms over his chest, still scowling at Saxon. “What fucking game are you playing now?”
Saxon raised his eyebrows. “Who me? I don’t know what you’re talking about.”
“You seem to keep letting our women into your club on their own,” Colin pointed out, his voice had grown cooler. “Wasn’t that long ago you let in Laken, Lila and Savannah.”
“Molly and Laken are members. Lila and Savannah are their guests.”
“They’re not supposed to be here without their Doms,” Duncan pointed out, starting to sweat now.
