Chapter Seven
“Yo, Boss,” Randy yelled as he walked into one of the barns.
“I’m back here,” Cain yelled.
Cain looked up to see his manager leaning against the stall gate as Cain finished wrapping the horse’s leg. “What’s up?”
Cain stood when he saw the smile on his friend’s face.
“I have it on good authority that your little helper went to the kink club last night and is going again tonight,” Randy said.
Cain was stunned. He had no idea she had an interest in the club, but then again, they were always surrounded by people, so he was unable to ask her personal questions. If he had known in the beginning, he would have already had her there.
Everything he was learning about her was everything he’d always looked for in a woman. The fact that she dropped into his lap, per se, made it feel like fate.
“What are you going to do?” Randy asked.
“I’m going to go to the club and get my sub.”
Randy hooted. “Smart man. She’s a beautiful woman, inside and out. You’re a lucky man.”
“There is a chance she might not want anything to do with me,” Cain said.
“From the looks I’ve caught on her face when she peeked at you, I can tell she’s yours. You just have to go get her.”
Cain slapped Randy on the back. “Thank you, man. I owe you.”
Randy grinned. “I look out for my friends, and you’ve needed a good woman for a while.”
Cain thought about the few disastrous relationships he’d had. After he caught his last girlfriend cheating, he decided to take a break. He had yet to find a woman with everything he desired until then.
“Have fun tonight,” Randy said as he walked away.
Cain spent the next few hours working. He was trying to keep his mind off that night, but Eden kept sneaking in and distracting him. He finally decided to go into his office and do paperwork. He was too distracted to be around large animals.
At nine o’clock that night, he walked into the club.
“Hello, Master Cain,” one of the subs that took care of the front desk said.
“Hello.” He didn’t stop to talk after he signed in. He was anxious to see his sub and her outfit.
Cain waved at several people as he walked through the crowd. He got to the bar and got Macy’s attention.
“Hey, glad you’re here,” Macy said. “We’ve been waiting for you after you called earlier.”
Cain saw the concern in his eyes. “Why?”
Macy looked down the bar and waved at someone calling his name but turned back to Cain. “First, I need you to confirm that you want the new sub.”
“If you’re talking about Eden, then yes.”
“Man, she’s getting a lot of attention, even from the younger guys. The funny thing is that she’s oblivious to it. My Cat and a few others were having fun warding off the Doms until you got here.”
“I’ll take care of it. Is she in the sub-lounge?” Cain asked.
Macy nodded. “Good luck.”
Cain rolled his eyes when the man walked away laughing.
Cain found a place at the bar where he could see her and the commotion she was creating and decided that Macy was right. Eden was laughing at something one of the other subs said but ignored the two men trying to get her attention. That had to stop. He needed everyone to know that Eden was his.
He caught Cat’s attention, making the woman giggle uncontrollably. Macy was right, his sub, Cat, was having way too much fun.
Cain walked up behind Eden and listened to her for a moment. She was talking about the incident the day before when the three young girls had cornered him. He was trying to be patient with the younger girls, but the three had to go. He knew they were there for him and not the horses.
Eden told them she felt bad for him and then laughed. Eden snickered. “Maybe if he weren’t so damn perfect, they’d leave him alone.”
Hannah covered her mouth with her hand when she realized Eden was talking about him. The girls let her talk and asked questions about him.
“So, you find him hot?” Janessa asked.
“Come on. Who wouldn’t? The man is solid muscle, handsome as sin, damn smart, and…”
“What?” Bella asked.
“His personality,” Eden said.
“What about it?” Cat said.
“God, I don’t know how to describe it,” Eden said. “He’s the most masculine man I’ve ever met.”
Cain saw Eden look at the girls.
“You guys, Oh, God, is he one of the Dominants that come here?” Eden said and stiffened.
“He is,” Cat said and grinned.
Eden leaned forward and smacked her hand on the table. “Shut up.” The girls all laughed.
“Why the hell didn’t you guys say anything?” Eden asked.
Cain saw Eden stiffen when Cat looked over her shoulder and grinned.
“God, please don’t tell me he’s here.”
“Oh, he’s here,” Hanna said.
“Oh, God. You guys. I have to get out of here,” Eden practically screeched, making him smile.
“I think it’s too late,” Janessa said.
“No! Please tell me he’s not behind me,” Eden whispered frantically.
“Okay, we won’t,” Cat said and giggled.
Macy was right. Cat was having way too much fun with this, but he was also thankful to the girls because he had learned more about her feelings for him in the last few minutes.
Cain just about chuckled when Eden leaned forward, pressed her face into her hands, and repeated, “No, please, no.”
She lifted her head suddenly. “Oh my God, he didn’t hear anything I said, right?”
He saw her stiffen further when they just laughed.
“You suck as friends, you know that, right?” Eden hissed, making them laugh harder.
“That’s bullshit,” Cat said. “We’re the best friends you’ve ever had, and you know it.”
“Maybe, but right now you’re not,” Eden growled. “Is there a way I can escape without him noticing?”
Sara pointed at the main door behind Eden. “That’s it. It’s your only option.”
Of course, she didn’t turn. He knew she never would have made it.
When he felt she’d been tormented enough, he set his hand on her shoulder. She jumped but otherwise didn’t move.
“I’d like a word with my sub,” he said. “In private.”
He leaned forward, lifted Eden over the back of the sofa, and set her on her feet in front of him. He could tell she was embarrassed by the bright red color on her face.
“Are you going to look at me?” Cain said.
Eden shook her head.
Cain sighed, wrapped his hand around her upper arm, and waved to Macy. “Which room can I take?”
“Take the first one to the right. The one with black walls.”
“Got it. Thank you.”
Cain had to practically drag her across the room. “Come on, Pet. We’re going to talk whether you like it or not.”
She stiffened but didn’t jerk away from him. After he closed and locked the door, he released her. She immediately walked across the room and turned to face him.
He smiled because she was still bright red until he got a look at her outfit. Everything he’d wanted to say flew out of his mind. Jesus Christ. “Where the hell did you get that outfit?”
Eden jumped when he barked. “Cat helped me get a few outfits.”
He saw her eyes widen when she let herself look at him.
“Oh my God,” she whispered as her eyes scanned over him.
He crossed his arms over his chest. He was wearing a white silk shirt that was buttoned at the bottom, but open at the top, black leather pants, and the black boots he wore to the club. It was the best fucking compliment he’d ever received, and without words.
“Little sub, eyes on my face.”
He bit his lip to keep from smiling at the effort it took for her to look away from his chest. If she got any more embarrassed, she’d explode, so he had to put a stop to it immediately.
