“Sarah!” The shouted word, coupled with the sound of boots on wood in the Constellation Court startled people to their feet. The handful of Doms who’d been sitting with their submissives started moving as they saw Dev—who’d leapt onto the stage—sweep Sarah into his arms.

Dev kicked the Spanish donkey out of his way. It tumbled off the stage with a heavy clatter.

“Help me,” Dev snarled.

One of the Doms raced over, pulling a rescue hook out of his pocket. The small metal hook had a blade embedded in the inner curve, and with one quick swipe he severed the single strap from which Sarah dangled.

Dev sank to his knees with Sarah in his arms. When he held out his hand, the other man slapped the rescue hook into it. Dev made short work of the bonds on her wrists, tossing the bits of strapping away.

Another moment and the gag was gone, yanked from her mouth and released to dangle around her throat.

Master Dante dropped to his knees, two fingers on Sarah’s wrist.

The chest harness fell away as Dev made short work of the hemp rope.

A small crowd had gathered around them, someone producing a phone—which they shouldn’t have had outside the Subs’ Garden or Den—ready to call 911.

“What’s her name?” Master Dante asked with the calm professionalism of a doctor.

“Sarah, Sarah, talk to me,” Dev ignored the other man, his attention on her. He pushed her hair back from her face. “What happened?”

For the first time the pretty blonde sub looked up. For a moment her expression was shocked as she looked around, but that faded to…anger?

“What happened? The same fucking thing that always happens. You left! You ignored me! Even though everything hurt, you ignored me!”

A gathering murmuring of shock ran through the crowd.

Her voice broke on a sob. “You forgot about me.”

Several people turned accusing stares on Dev.

Dev, who’d been cradling Sarah on his lap, gently set her down on the stage floor. Master Dante scooted back since this was an emotional rather than medical issue.

“You were in pain?” Dev asked slowly.

“Don’t act like you fucking care,” Sarah snapped, her gaze sweeping over the crowd, seeming to include everyone in that accusation.

The angry, accusing words were followed by a sob.

“And instead of telling me there was a problem—” Dev reached over and tugged on the corner of the white fabric she held clutched in one hand. “You decided to…” his voice trailed off, but rage shimmered in those words.

“You, all of you, would have ignored it, even if I had used it.”

Another murmur from the crowd as it became clear that this wasn’t a situation where the Dom had been neglectful.

The crowd backed away. They’d been ready to offer aid when it appeared this was a medical emergency, then to step in and defend Sarah when they heard the accusation of being ignored.

That little bit of white fabric changed things. She’d had a safety protocol, a safe word, and she hadn’t used it.

Sarah’s gaze darted across the faces looking down at her, and the anger drained from her expression, leaving in its place a stark horror.
