Dax sat alone in the empty cafe. The new girl and a cook were in the back, chatting away. The place had thinned out quickly, as most of the customers had been miners grabbing a bite before heading off to their shift down the big hole.

Despite his mother’s instructions, Dax was on his feet about to storm over to the Cactus when Charly walked through the front door of Norma’s.

“Over here, Charly.” He waved at her.

She nodded and headed to him. “Hey, Dax.”

He wrapped his arms around her.

“Dax, don’t, please.”

“Kitten, I’ve been away from you for well over an hour. I deserve a kiss.” He leaned in to taste her lips, but she turned her head, offering her cheek instead. “Bullshit.”

“Please, Dax. Here me out,” she choked out.

She was obviously suffering from a pile of unspoken worries. But her inability to trust him was killing him inside. He would earn her trust, whatever it took.

Dax reached up and grabbed a fistful of her hair. “Look at me, Charly.”

“Stop. People will see.”

“Let them.” Though he knew only Mackenzie and one cook were in the back, and were unaware of what he was about to do to Charly, he would’ve done the same thing if the place had been packed. People in Wilde had seen much worse. “I said, ‘look at me.’”

“Yes, Sir.” Her lips trembled, giving him a little hope.

He wanted to turn her around, away from the darkness swirling in her pretty head. “Your bottom is going to be bright red for what you’ve just done.”

“What have I done?” She pursed her lips, making her resemble a petulant schoolgirl to him.

“For starters, you turned your head. Oh, and you didn’t arrive on time.”

She whined, “But your mother called you and told you I’d be late.”

“So?”

“Isn’t that enough for now?” She was strong in so many ways, but he sensed the submissive streak in her.

“What did I tell you when I left you alone?

“I had an hour.”

“That’s right. And you disobeyed me.”

“I–I didn’t mean to, Dax.”

“Until I say otherwise, sub, you call me ‘Sir,’ starting now.”

“B–But—”

He shoved Charly into the booth, moving in next to her, locking her in place with the wall and his body. If she tried to crawl under the table, then his gloves would come off. He doubted she was that bratty.

“No talking. Nod if you understand me, sub.”

She obeyed, and that gave him some hope.

“That’s better. Best for you to start doing what I say, sub, right when I say it.”

She’d been fine when he left her back at the hotel after her mother’s call went to voice mail. Dax had left, believing she was safe and secure. Had her mother said something to upset her? Had his?

Whoever the culprit, he would have his work cut out for him to get her back in the right state of mind. He needed help with this, but Seth was long gone. He thought about calling the Masters twins to meet him at the club, but then he saw Drake walk in.
