Chapter 68 - 68 (1/2)

”That is how a true Dom handles his sub,” Reed growled and shoved him against the bar.

The man came back at him swinging, which Reed ducked with practiced ease as if he'd been doing it for years. Enraged the idiot swung again only to hit air once more and this time fall to the ground when Reed sidestepped it. A foot came down onto his back and I looked up to see Master Jordan and Master Jack there.

”I'd stay down if I were you, boy,” Master Jack said in his low dangerous voice.

The air deflated out of the man as he laid his head on the floor. Obviously, he was not too stupid to know when he had been defeated. All the eyes around us turned towards me and I dropped mine back to the floor as swiftly as possible.

”Rise, Mia,” Reed ordered in the same steady tone.

I could feel the anger in him as if it were its own separate entity and I was ashamed knowing I'd done something wrong. I rose as quickly and as gracefully as I could when my knees were knocking together. I put my hands behind my back to present myself to him. I took a deep breath and prepared myself for his anger as I raised my eyes to meet his.

Instead of lecturing me, he grabbed me and pulled me to him wrapping an arm around me like a steel bar locking my arms into place. Then his other hand plunged into my hair and gripped hard, so I was unable to move even if I had wanted to. His mouth slammed down on mine and his tongue plunged inside viciously. It seemed to be a punishing kiss, one of warning and desperation. I was shocked at first at the aggressive way he was kissing me, but I found my body melting into his as our tongues met and the taste of him intoxicated me.

I whimpered a little when the hold on my hair relaxed enough that he was cupping my head instead of holding it for his domination. His kiss gentled in a way that made my body tingle as it left a note of promise of how tonight was going to go. When he pulled back and his eyes met mine, I saw an emotional turmoil that he was warring with inside himself. There was fear, anger, joy, and something else there that caused hope to rise in me. He stared at me a moment longer, then rested his forehead against mine and let out a deep sigh.

”Don't ever do that again, little sub. This club has a safe word, next time scream it out without hesitation, and someone will come to at least find out what is going on. That is why we have it. I do not ever want to walk in here again and see you trying to battle a man twice your size. It gave me a heart attack when I saw that asshole raise his hand to you.”

He pulled back and shook his head as if his mind were an etch-a-sketch and with one shake, he could erase the image.

”Never again, little one, you are my sub and by the time this night is over every Dom and sub in this place will know you are off-limits,” he said.

I looked up at him trying to interpret his meaning from his eyes.
