“With fucking pleasure.”
Edward helped David and Paul while William went and stroked Daisy hair. “Look at me, pet.”
Tears were streaming down her eyes. “I don’t want anything to happen to you, Master,” she said.
“I wouldn’t dream of leaving you alone. You may get up and give me a cuddle if you want.” She got up, wrapped her arms around his waist, and refused to let go.
He held her as he sat on one of the couches he kept near the bar. Peter poured everyone a stiff drink. William saw the other man glaring at Tracy. He clearly didn’t like being drugged.
Gabriel came by with a few of his deputies. He took one look at the scene and turned to William.
William raised a glass in salute. “Trouble follows me everywhere.”
His friend shook his head, got the statements he needed, and then escorted Tracy McAllister out of the club.
That night Daisy stayed wrapped up next to William. Her hand lay on his chest against his heart.
Chapter Eleven
Gabriel went to see them at the club a few days later. Daisy was stocking the alcohol behind the counter as Peter ticked off stock items. David and Paul were talking with Edward. They’d all gathered round at the club hoping for news about Tracy. William knew Daisy was growing anxious. He’d spanked her ass that very morning in order to help her deal with what was coming.
He’d spent the past few days training her to be his woman. She’d taken to being tied up extremely well. Daisy loved being tied up and her control taken out of her hands. Her submission was the sweetest and tastiest William had ever had the pleasure of having. She’d stopped going to work and decided to change careers. She began working for him. He loved having her around.
Gabriel took a seat and stared at all of them.
“Tracy tried to convince the doctors she was insane. They didn’t believe her, and she is currently on her way to the city to be convicted for having illegal substances and attempted murder.”
“She tried to pretend she was like Amy’s husband?” Paul asked.
“Yes, pretty much.”
“Is Cape Falls built around a load of crazy people?” Peter asked.
“Well, I’m definitely staying. This place rocks,” Edward said.
All but Gabriel and Daisy chuckled. William watched his friend turn to her. “She’s not saying who your father is, Daisy. She isn’t saying a whole lot of good. I’m required by the law to tell you, she doesn’t want you anywhere near her.”
Daisy was nodding her head. “I’m relieved. She was never the nicest person anyway.”
“If you need me, give me a call.”
William watched as Gabriel left followed by the Steer brothers. Both David and Paul hugged Daisy before leaving. There was progress. It was slow, but at least it was progress.
“I’ve got a date with some very powerful Doms. I’m going to go and see how they can fix our problem. Enjoy,” Edward said.
Peter excused himself.
They were alone at last. William walked over to where she stood. Her hands shook as she placed each glass back under the bar. He took hold of her hand before she got the chance to clean another glass.
“How are you, pet?” he asked.
“I’m fine.”
“Talk to me,” he said, placing a finger under her chin and tilting her head back to look at him. “Do I need to punish you to get the truth out of you?”
She sagged against him. “I’m mixed. I’m happy that she’s gone out of my life and sad that even after everything she has done, I still want her to love me.”
He saw her eyes were clear from tears. “I know, pet.”
