Chapter Eight

The emotional pain Scarlett saw in Mike’s blue eyes took her breath away, and she breathed a sigh of relief when Slade left. Not that she could blame him, exactly. Laura carried a shedload of guilt with her over the death of her parents. Guilt that had been exacerbated by Mike’s seeming blame on Laura.

Slade had worked hard on curing Laura of that guilt, but it was pretty damn obvious that Mike carried his own burden of remorse over what had happened so long ago.

It was also pretty obvious that she had left him in the harness for too long. Mike was a big guy and he went white when she released him out of his bondage as gently as she could.

“Breathe through the pain, my boy. In, out, there you go, just let it all go.”

Mike pushed her helping hand away and scrambled to his feet. The way he towered over made her feel small and feminine, and his scowl made her heart flutter. He was utterly furious, yet he stood there, head bowed, and waited for instructions. She handed him a fresh blanket to cover up and he accepted it with a grateful smile.

“Follow me, Mike. I think we’ve done more than enough for your first time. Time to get you out of here.”

He regained some of his swagger by the time they reached the lockers, and the wide-eyed attendant handed Mike the key.

Scarlett shrugged into her coat, perfectly happy in her club attire, but Mike could hardly leave the club naked. A fuzzy feeling spread through her belly at the thought of a naked Mike at her disposal out of the club. She had no intention of ever taking on another full-time submissive, but damn it if that visual wasn’t appealing.

The vision of a fully dressed Mike appearing moments later was another far too appealing sight. From the scuffed army boots, to the faded jeans that clung to his tree-trunk thighs and hugged the impressive bulge at his groin, to the checkered button-down shirt he’d left open at the top. His biceps bulged out of the short sleeves, and along with the leather jacket slung carelessly over one shoulder and the motor bike helmet he carried in one hand, completed the bad-boy look.

He looked good enough to eat, but his eyes showed his wariness and when they stepped out of the club he instantly went on high alert. Stepping in front of her, his eyes scanned the car park, and he wouldn’t let her past until he seemed satisfied that all was well.

“Really? Is all this necessary?” Scarlett asked and Mike grunted his response.

“We’re not in the club anymore, and this is my job. There is a threat to your person. You’re damn fucking right this is necessary. Get in your car and I’ll follow you on my bike. Don’t even think about arguing the point. I’m seeing you safely home.”

He crowded her in against a parked car and Scarlett had to look a long way up to judge his expression.
