But tonight, he would go back to his room at Kai’s place alone. It was a penance of sorts.
“You’re not coming to the party?” Kai seemed to have followed Michael into the locker room.
Sometimes a little jealousy was a good thing. Not that he was going to rub his brother’s nose in it, but it looked like being friendly with JT had gotten both of their brothers to seek them out. All JT had needed was a little brother to show him how to grab attention. He was a master at it.
If only he could get Sarah’s…
“I think going to the party would be a bad idea,” he admitted. “Too many questions. I think she would want to know what I’m doing here and then I would have to lie to her more than I already am.”
“You could walk out there and tell her you were the Dom she spent the evening with.” Kai sat on the bench.
“I think that’s a great way to get her to kick me to the curb.” He wasn’t sure he would get another chance with her. “I need to be patient.”
Kai rolled his eyes. “We have different definitions of that word. It’s only three days. There’s not a lot of patience with that. So do you think she’s going to pick you tomorrow? That’s the deal. You two spend time together tonight and then tomorrow we’re having a big harem party. Apparently Charlotte has a costume and she’s been dying to show it off. That couple has crazy kinks, and that’s saying something coming from me. I heard her talk about the shoe fairy and how she gets caught by the fairy king and is forced to do all kinds of nasty sex stuff or give up her Louboutins. Who thinks that kind of thing up?”
He could. He would love to role-play with his gorgeous pinup girl. He would buy a treasure trove of costumes for her. But role-playing wasn’t his brother’s thing, and Charlotte wasn’t being entirely historically accurate. “I don’t think concubines got to decide who they danced for.”
Kai chuckled. “Worried, are you?”
He sighed and sat down beside his brother. “A little. We got along great tonight.”
“Well, she does like a spanking. I think everyone was a bit shocked the new guy went right there. Of course they had no idea you know exactly what Sarah likes and how hard she likes it. You’ve played with her before, even if it was brief. So it went well this time? She looked happy when I left her with Kori a couple of minutes ago. She was smiling, and she hasn’t done a lot of that lately.”
He wanted to be the reason she smiled every minute of the day. “We talked mostly. And touched, but nothing sexual. She needs affection. She likes to be petted. I almost wish we were having a pet night.”
He would turn her into his sweet kitten, stroking her and lavishing her with affection.
“Yeah, I don’t think that’s up Charlotte’s alley, but she and Big Tag will have a blast leading the ceremony tomorrow night. You’re sure she won’t see through the mask?”
It covered most of his face. He’d found without being able to see his trademark scruff a lot of people didn’t recognize him. He was planning on shaving before tomorrow night. It would be fine because when he saw Sarah again his scruff would have grown back out. He did not have a problem growing facial hair. He was the guy who needed to shave twice a day. “It’ll be fine. She didn’t recognize my voice. She told me she’s going on some kind of vacation next week.”
Kai shifted, turning toward him. “Yes, it came up suddenly.”
His brother was suspicious. He knew that look well. “You think she’s lying?”
“I don’t know. I only know that she’s suddenly decided to go away to California for three weeks to see friends she’s never talked about before.”
“You think she’s meeting someone?” The thought made him ache. Was there some man in California who had her attention now? Had she stopped talking to him so she could pursue this new man? “She told me she couldn’t do a long-term relationship, but after we talked for a bit, I got her to admit she wasn’t against spending time with a man. She said she needed to take things slow. She did say she wanted to travel.”
“She loves to travel. She and Kori take some awesome girls’ trips, and she’s gone with the two of us on many occasions. It’s why I’m surprised she’s going by herself. Kori’s tried to talk her into waiting a week or two so she could go with her, but she says she needs to go alone. Yes, I’m worried she’s meeting a man. She can be reckless at times.”
