Chapter Twenty

Cassidy

I can’t believe I just said something that dorky to a woman who looks like she knows exactly what I spent the last hour doing. But I am really happy to meet her. She’s bubbly and overwhelming, but she’s also beaming at me like she truly intends to be my friend if I give her half a chance, and while meeting people in Seattle hasn’t been all that hard, very few of those meetings have felt like this.

She’s radiant in every good and holy meaning of the word, she’s happy for me, and she knows all about the world inside my snow globe.

I clasp my hands together, circling my own wrists. I took the cuffs off before I had my shower, but not wearing them feels like a strange absence. One the elf sitting across from me just might understand.

I have so many questions.

Turcot’s fingers wrap around mine. Nothing more, and nothing obvious—but Ari clearly knows what he’s done. The look she shoots the man behind me is full of approval. The one she sends my way is full of stunning kindness and shimmering amusement and quiet joy.

I have no idea what to do with either of these two wonderful people.

Ari smiles and holds up a bag. “I brought you some presents.” There’s invitation in her voice, but also a dare. This is her letting me off one hook and putting me on another one, and she wants me to know it.

A friend who doesn’t swim in the shallow end. I gulp and remind myself just how much a little bravery has won me today. “Okay.”

She grins, the devilry she came in with back in her eyes. “Good. Doms can be bossy about this kind of thing, but everything in here is for you. He only gets to use them if you agree.”

A quiet snort from behind me. “I did pay that much attention in class, Mistress A.”

She gives him a look that would make mafia dons tremble. “Maybe you did, but she hasn’t been through training yet, which means we say the obvious and we say it often. Especially when her Dom for the night seems to have been in a bit of a hurry. I’m guessing you didn’t have a long conversation about consent and boundaries and limits and how a sub keeps herself safe.”

Protectiveness rises in me, fierce and hot. “He didn’t rush me. I maybe rushed him, but he let me know what was going to happen every step of the way, and I know how to say no.”

Her lips quirk. “You’re a tough little librarian, are you?”

I manage a grin, even though plenty of me is trying to tremble. “You’re not very big, either.”

Turcot guffaws behind me.

Ari leans against the back of the couch and holds her belly as she laughs. I’m not sure why either of them thinks I’m that funny, but whatever’s caught them is contagious, and it’s really clear they’re including me in whatever the joke is, even if I don’t get it.
