“You’re welcome, Sir,” the lady mentioned. “Have a enjoyable time tonight.”

He positioned a hand on Grace’s decrease again and guided her into the membership.

***

Alexander paid shut consideration to Grace’s response as they walked into the primary room of the membership. He stored his hand on her decrease again as he guided her via the group and over to the seating space. Daniel was already there chatting with Nicole and Jeff.

Daniel noticed them first. His gaze fell on Grace, after which again to Alexander. “And who do we’ve got right here?”

It was then he noticed Nicole’s expression change. She acknowledged Grace. And from the seems to be of it, so did her sub, Jeff.

A second later, he knew Grace had acknowledged them, too. Alexander had been so involved about her response to seeing Beth that he hadn’t thought of she’d additionally know Nicole and Jeff. He knew Nicole and Beth have been greatest buddies, however he wasn’t conscious Nicole and Grace had ever met.

Alexander circled his arm round Grace’s waist and pulled her nearer to his aspect earlier than answering Daniel’s query. He wasn’t about to have her take off on him. “That is my submissive, Grace.”

His good friend raised one eyebrow in silent query, however didn’t remark.

Turning to Nicole, Alexander mentioned, “I feel chances are you’ll already know one another?”

“Sure. Grace works on the café with Beth.”

He edged Grace nearer to the sofa, sat down, and tugged her onto his lap. “I didn’t understand you frequented the café.”

Nicole shrugged. “I drop by once in a while.”

Alexander additionally heard her unasked query lingering behind her phrases. Did Beth know Grace could be on the membership tonight? He subtly shook his head and noticed her frown. Whereas he might perceive her concern for her good friend, it wasn’t Beth he was anxious about. Grace had been within the way of life along with her husband for years. She wouldn’t out her boss. She may, nevertheless, attempt to run once more.

“Nicely, clearly I’m the odd one out right here,” Daniel mentioned. The 2 Doms had hit it off immediately as a result of them each having a army background although Daniel was virtually twenty years older than Alexander. Then once more, there have been days when Alexander felt twenty years older than he truly was. Daniel leaned towards Grace. “It’s good to satisfy you.”

Nicole appeared mildly irritated on the informal method Alexander was dealing with the state of affairs. Jeff, however, appeared considerably bored. This new improvement didn’t appear to hassle him. Daniel took one other lengthy take a look at Grace. Alexander might solely think about what his good friend was pondering.

However the response he was most centered on was Grace’s. Her respiration had picked up and her fingers have been white from urgent them as onerous as she might into her legs. He pried her fingers up and laced them together with his.

“How did you two meet?” Nicole requested.

Alexander slipped his thumb beneath the hem of Grace’s shirt and started rubbing backwards and forwards. He wanted her to chill out. “Her husband and I served collectively.”

It was as if a lightweight bulb went off in everybody’s head.

“So that is the lady you spent a lot time looking for,” Daniel mentioned.

Alexander grinned, not breaking the rhythm of his contact towards her pores and skin. “She made herself tough to search out.”

Grace let her shoulders sag a little bit. She was listening to the dialog although she hadn’t mentioned a phrase. He hadn’t given her any talking restrictions for tonight apart from letting her know that she owed each Justin and Katrina an apology for operating out final Friday. Her silence to this point, nevertheless, didn’t shock him. His Grace was shy.

Daniel chuckled, both unaware or ignoring Grace’s response. “I bear in mind.”

Dialog turned to a brand new piece of apparatus Katrina had acquired for the membership. Alexander was solely half paying consideration. Grace was nonetheless stiff in his arms.

A number of extra minutes handed and the subject of dialog shifted once more, however Grace’s posture hadn’t modified. He lifted their linked arms and introduced them to his lips. She met his gaze. “Would you want one thing to drink?”

“No, thanks, Sir.”

Alexander launched her hand and cupped the aspect of her face. “Inform me what’s bothering you.”

Her backside lip trembled. “What if Nicole tells Beth and I lose my job? I don’t need to lose my job.”

“You’re not going to lose your job.”
