Ian knew she had immediately started to pull back after his comment—what he didn’t know was why. She had already agreed to belong to him for a month, so what was her problem with him referencing what had already been discussed and settled? Suddenly he was very grateful Catherine Lamont was on her way.

Chapter 15

Callie walked into the kitchen after her shower feeling much better—at least she had been until she came face-to-face with several new faces. She stopped just before crossing the threshold and considered returning to the safety of the master suite despite the fact she was starving. Damn her loud, growling stomach anyway, it had given her away before she had a chance to retreat. The stunningly beautiful woman who Callie guessed to be in her forties or maybe her early fifties looked up, and a smile lit up her entire face.

“Oh, there you are, come on in here and get something in your stomach, dear. I’m Catherine Lamont, and this lovely lady preparing our luncheon feast is Inez, Ian’s housekeeper extraordinaire. She is a treasure and grossly underappreciated I am sure.” There was just something about the woman that immediately put Callie at ease. Even though she looked like a runway model, she seemed very down to earth and genuine.

The large man sitting nearby spoke up just then, “Don’t be making trouble, my love, or you’ll get us both thrown out into the bay.” He turned to Callie and smiled before saying, “It’s nice to meet you, Callie. I’m Daniel Lamont, and I believe you have already met a friend of ours, Mitch Grayson.” Something about Daniel Lamont seemed so familiar, but she couldn’t get her mind to grasp onto whatever it was. It wasn’t his looks or his name, she was sure she would remember those, it was more about his presence. Suddenly she made the connection, Daniel Lamont was a Dom. It seemed odd that she suddenly seemed to be surrounded by them. Was she just now noticing that personality type or was she just now recognizing the men she met for who and what they were? She couldn’t help wondering if she’d met a lot of Dominants over the years and just hadn’t realized it or maybe it was that Doms tended to stick together—like a flock or something? She gave herself a mental slap for her absurdity then started thinking about what a great angle it would be for her story. Then the realization that she wouldn’t be writing the story after all slammed into her. The depressing reality of what had happened last night brought her back to the present and with it all the details of that unpleasant memory.

Realizing that Daniel had moved to stand directly in front of her, she automatically dropped her gaze to the floor. She felt his finger under her chin and looked up at his urging. His words surprised her. “I see the same sadness in your eyes that I saw in our daughter Jenna’s eyes years ago.
