Her eyes widened. “Really?”

“Yeah. I think it was because I made plans without him. I think he sees Adam and Mick as his friends or something. Like if they spend time with me, then they are cheating on him.”

“Weird.”

“Dinner’s ready,” Mick called out.

“You remember I told you I’m stealing him, right?”

“Just try, woman,” Serenity said, slipping her arm around Nicola’s. “And let’s eat. Mama needs some food.”

Several hours later,Nicola had just slipped into her rental when her phone buzzed. She was going to ignore it until she realized it was from Rough ‘n Ready.

“Hello.”

“Nicola, this is Micah.”

“Hey, Micah. Is there a problem?”

“No. Not really. I was wondering if you think Wulf knows you’re a member here.”

“No. There’s no way. Why?”

“He was acting weird tonight.”

“How?”

“Just that he seemed preoccupied, and he didn’t end up with a sub.”

“What?”

“He’s still here and has spent time with several women, but he hasn’t taken anyone to a private room.”

“Oh, that doesn’t mean anything. Jensen can be picky.”

“Okay. Just wanted to make sure you knew I didn’t tell him anything.”

“Micah, I know better than anyone you know how to keep a secret.”

“Well, from everyone but Dee.”

“Your wife knows you were my first Dom?”

“Yes.”

“Okay.”

He chuckled. “My wife is a different kind of woman. If anything, she wants to askyouquestions.”

Nicola chuckled. “I always said it would take a very special woman to tame Micah Ross, so I’m not surprised. Call if there are any issues. I’m about to head back to the house right now.”

“Will do, night.”

“Night.”

She hung up and started the car, waving her hand out the window to signal to Serenity that she was leaving. She pulled out onto the street, then waited at the light at Kam Highway. It was late, past eleven, and she was exhausted. Thankfully, it was cool enough to have the windows down in the car. Fresh air would keep her awake.
