Chapter Twenty-Two

Leaning on the wooden pasture fence by the barn, Malcolm drew patterns in the dirt with the toe of his boot. He'd noticed Dr. Price's car in the yard after he had finished cleaning out stalls and hadn't felt right about going inside while Marcus was with the doctor. He glanced up when he heard the door open, watching as the doctor came down the steps and walked towards his car.

"Doctor Price?" Malcolm pushed away from the fence and walked over to stand beside the car.

"Malcolm." Kalem turned to him, a polite smile touching his lips.

"How is he?"

"He's doing fine. He seems down, though. It's not surprising with all he's been through. Maybe you could get him outside," the doctor replied. "It won't do him any harm to walk around the barns or something."

"You sure?" Malcolm frowned. "I don't want him hurtin' any more than he is now. And no, it ain't surprising he's feeling down. Paul nearly killed him, and now he's told the cops Marc agreed to it."

"Yes, Marcus told me."

"It's not right, you know? Hurting people and saying it's love. I can't get my head around what you people do."

"What Paul did isn't right, Malcolm. It's abuse. It doesn't even come close to what real BDSM is about." Kalem let out a breath. "The first rule any Dom must observe is that the safety and wellbeing of his sub is paramount. Paul Wilson is not a Dominant. He's a beater."

"You all do it." Malcolm's hands curled into fists at his side. "You take a whip to someone, or slap 'em around and..."

"No. We don't all do it. It's..."

"Treating a man like property ain't right. You're a doctor, you tell me! Isn't Marcus sick to want it? Isn't anyone sick who would want that? Shouldn't you be tryin' to get him some help?"

"You've got it wrong, Malcolm. I won't lie to you. There are people in the lifestyle who like edge play. They like to get rough with it. They like real pain, real control... but they don't put each other in hospital with broken bones and contusions, unless something goes horribly wrong. There's a term we use to describe what Dominance and submission is about. 'Safe, Sane, and Consensual'."

Malcolm looked away, his eyes going to the house and then back to Kalem. He took a step closer, speaking through gritted teeth. "You all stood by and let Paul nearly beat Marc to death, and no one lifted a finger to help." He shifted his weight from one foot to the other. "Every time Paul has been near Marcus, he's hurt him. The first time I met you was because I had to call you after Paul hurt him. If it's supposed t'be so safe, why'd y'all let it happen? You and your fancy club?"

"We didn't." Kalem let out a breath, his gaze sliding away from Malcolm's for a moment. "Marcus was warned against having anything to do with Paul. At the end of the day, he's a free agent.
