CHAPTER 7 DAVID

I was right and I was wrong. When I get to the office at the restaurant it’s worse than I thought. Bills and receipts are everywhere. When Charlie and I opened the restaurant, Charlie’s lack of management skills infuriated quite a few suppliers. The two of us went through quite a few before finding companies willing to work with our strange arrangement. They know I’m deployed for six months out of the year and are willing to supply the food and laundry service until I return. I’ll pay them back quickly when I return home and everyone’s happy. But organizing everything, doing the basic accounting, is a pain. It’s so much worse with Charlie's organizing, or lack thereof.

Leaving the office I sit at the counter, starving and more than a bit pissed off. “Charlie!” Using my Dom voice in public sends a visible shiver through Charlie. Grinning wickedly at me his face changes quickly when I give him the stare.

“You’ll pay for this, One.” There’re a few customers, but most of them are far enough away they don’t hear me. Eyes immediately down cast, One visibly shakes, the look of bliss returning to his face as he’s thinking about last night.

“Oh no, One. This will not be fun for you. This is punishment!” “I’m sorry, Master.” The whimper is barely loud enough to hear, but the look in One’s eyes is enough to know that even though it’ll be punishment, One will still enjoy it.

Feeling my phone vibrate I break off the connection with Charlie, grinning at me, he heads back to the kitchen. “He’s in the Conservatory.” Trust Simon to know where Justin is. I open the security feed Simon sent me. Yep, there Justin is, sitting in the little alcove. He looks so peaceful, but I can see the tears tracking down his cheeks.

“Is he okay?” Letting Simon know I’m still concerned. “It won’t be long now. His walls are crumbling, and he’ll be mad as hell before too long. It might be smart to get what you need and get home.”

“On it.” I still need to get Justin a phone, but other than that I don’t have anything pressing and Getting the phone won’t take long.

“Charlie, I’m out. Gotta get home ASAP.” Giving Charlie a look, I know he’ll understand. He’ll be needed at home early tonight. We have good people working here, and they’re more than capable of taking over and closing tonight. I know Charlie won’t be able to break away right now, but he’ll hurry.

Leaving the diner, I think about how Justin will feel when I tell him about the security system. The house is set up for security surveillance. When someone walks into a room it triggers the motion sensor, turning on the cameras. I hate using them this way. It feels creepy and stalkerish, but I need to make sure he’s alright. I’ll eventually tell him. He needs to know I won’t use them against him, that it’s just for his protection.
