Still, Garrison usually had more tact, so he answered. “You were hoping you’d show up here, try it on for the night, then know you could wake up tomorrow with it all put safely behind you?”
She nodded.
He didn’t love the idea of being some sort of disposable sex toy, and he hated the thought that she’d be gone the next day, but at least she was being honest about her intentions.
And he picked up the rest of the story she hadn’t told. The asshole she’d been with had used BDSM to keep her under his thumb, had taught her that what he’d done was how it worked, and now the two were all tangled up in her head.
She didn’t want to crave the dominance of another, but she did, and she hoped that one good try, now that she was better, would let her walk away knowing that whatever feelings she had weren’t real. She’d confused abuse and BDSM, because for her, they’d been the same, which meant she had no idea how to let one go without the letting the other go as well.
Garrison rubbed his thumb over his jawline, seeing the girl sitting there, everything he wanted, and wondered how that would work.
Could he really offer her some fun for the night knowing she wanted it only because she wanted to prove shedidn’tlike it?
“If you aren’t interested,” she said, her voice with a bit more backbone, “I can find someone else.”
“Not if I go talk to the owner. One word from me, and she’ll revoke your access if she thinks this isn’t a safe place for you.”
The fox nailed him with a look that said while she might be a bit damaged, she wasn’t broken. “This isn’t the only place around.”
“No, but it is the safest.”
“But if it isn’t an option, I’ll go elsewhere.”
And she would. It was written there in her sharp eyes and the thin line of her lips. She had something to prove, and she’d find someone to help her prove it.
The thought of her ending up with another asshole, another fake-Dom to put that fear right back into her eyes, made Garrison close his hands into fists.
He couldn’t let that happen. The girl was much too fragile to let her risk it, andfartoo tempting for him to let her walk out before he’d even gotten a taste.
“So?” She sat up, as if trying to look powerful, in control. “Will you do it?”
Garrison let out a dark chuckle, that tough edge of hers turning him on more than it should have. “You want to have three Doms for tonight to prove some idea that you aren’t interested? Well, little Fox, we’ll see just how ‘not interested’ you really are.”
And he planned to prove her wrong.
