Chapter Nine

Thom was solicitous of Avery as he helped her into the corporate helicopter. The ride back was quiet and subdued. Her pride still stinging over being grounded, Avery offered to fly it, but Thom negated her request before Junior, who had already returned to Arizona with Baez, could take her up on it.

When they disembarked back at Wild Mustang’s headquarters, each man in the group had a firm grasp on the woman with whom he shared his life. Avery was watching. He saw her catching glances every time one of his co-workers took his lady’s hand or bent their heads together to share a private whisper. He hoped she was beginning to feel a kinship with them, although he knew her role would always be far more difficult than any of the others. She wanted and needed to submit to him, almost as much as he wanted and needed her to. But she also worked with the other men and he would always be very protective of her need for them to know without hesitation that they could always depend on her with both their safety and their lives. That alone put her in a unique juxtaposition between her submissive and her working self, but he was determined to help her come to grips with both roles.

Helping her into his truck, he walked around to the driver’s side to get in. “You’ve been awfully quiet this morning,” he said, as he pulled out. “What’s going on inside that beautiful brain of yours?”

“I feel random and confused.”

“How so? I can’t help, Avery, if you won’t share what you’re feeling.”

“I know. It’s just all a jumble. I’ve wanted to be with you for so long and when it’s just the two of us, I’m certain that I’m where I want to be. But flying home, I felt like I wasn’t part of the team. I was just one of the girls, which isn’t bad, per se. I really like and admire all of them. I just never thought getting what I always wanted would have such a high cost.”

“And you aren’t sure you’re willing to pay whatever price it is you think you have to pay?”

“That’s the problem... I’m not sure it isn’t. Ugh.” She broke off, shaking her head, and faced the window. “I’m botching this and making it all worse. Forget I said anything.”

“Listen to me, little girl. Nothing you feel is wrong, which doesn’t mean if you act inappropriately on it that I won’t hold you accountable for your actions. But your feelings are yours, and they’re valid. Talk to me. I’m happy to listen and support you as we figure this out together. Tell me what you want.”

“That’s just it, I don’t know what I want or what to try or even if I want to do something different yet. I only know that the last few days with you have been the best of my life, but I don’t see how the team can reconcile trusting their lives to your little.
