He chuckled. She had waited longer than he had expected to ask about his friend. “Edward Banner is a friend I met while travelling Europe and, as you can guess, England. I went alone the first time and then with Gabriel when we were younger. I haven’t heard from him in years. It has to be easily five years. He used to visit the club I had in the city.”
“How did you meet?” Daisy asked.
“Well, I met him first, and he was the one who showed me a club similar to this. You can say it was my first jaunt into the BDSM lifestyle. Edward knows his stuff. I’ve asked him to be a Dom here.”
“Is that who’d you get to share me with? Edward?”
“Hell, no. Edward is not the sharing sort. He likes to watch but never share.”
William smiled and then went through the contract. They talked about some of her soft and hard limits.
“There are a lot of tools there, William. I don’t know what half of them are.”
“How are your feet?” he asked.
“Fine. I can walk around,” she said.
“All right.”
William took her into the main part of the club. He acknowledged Peter and Edward and then moved to where their storage area was. Only he, Peter, and now Edward had a key. Control was still young, and he was fixing the rooms up for them to be in use. He wanted Control to be the biggest club in Cape Falls. His name and reputation were already bringing Doms to the area. He knew it would only be a matter of time before everything was running smoothly and his club would rival any other.
He opened the private door and turned on the light. The few pieces he owned were from the first lot of deliveries that Cape Falls hadn’t ruined.
“I thought I’d come and check this place out with you,” Edward said, closing the door. William smirked. Edward might not share, but he liked helping when breaking in a new sub, especially with equipment.
Daisy stayed by him. Her whole body shook. “What do you think, pet?” he asked.
“It looks scary.
He chuckled, as did Edward. “There is nothing scary about this room. All you’ve got to do is be willing to submit. Are you willing?”
Chapter Eight
The room felt dark because of the lack of windows. The glow in the room came from one light above them and several spotlights around the room. Daisy glanced from each piece of equipment to the displays on the walls. Her heart pounded as she became aware of Edward picking up several items and then putting them down.
“Peter told me you had a few problems with deliveries.”
“Yes, Cape Falls is a resilient little town.”
“Outdated and fighting. I like it. Is that one of the reasons you haven’t put out a search for Doms?” Edward asked.
“Yes, it would not be right for me to advertise a position and then not have the proper facility for them to work.”
“Agreed. I have a couple of contacts I can get in touch with. They’ll get your deliveries through and some Doms.”
“I thought you were all alone?” William said.
“I may not be liked in my own country, but in the States I’m a legend.”
Daisy watched the interaction fascinated by how easily William opened up. She rarely saw him so relaxed and calm. He only ever appeared that way in front of her.
“So is she a newbie or a full-blown sub?” Edward asked.
“Newbie, and I’ve got it from here.”
“No problem, I’m just checking everything out.”
William chuckled. He took her hand leading her to the farthest wall. “I want you to touch them.”
