“Please.”

Damon stepped up onto the small stage and approached Austin and his sub. “May I touch her to show you how to get the rope tight without hurting her?”

“Yes, Master Damon.”

“Roni, I’m going to touch your arm and wrist,” Damon said. He liked to warn a sub when he was working with another Dom.

“Yes, Sir.” Her voice was a bit shaky.

Damon released the rope, noting the red marks around her wrist. “Austin, her wrists are friction burned. You need to stop the scene and take care of her.”

Austin swore when he saw his sub’s wrists. “Honey, why didn’t you say anything?” He knelt down in front of Roni so he could look in her face.

“I didn’t want to stop the scene, Sir.” Her voice wobbled.

“If you’re hurting, even the tiniest bit, I want to know.”

“Yes, Sir. I’m sorry.”

“It’s okay, my love, but we’re going to discuss this.” Austin rose to his feet. “Thank you for letting me know, Master Damon.”

“You’re welcome.” Damon brushed his hand over Roni’s head before standing. “I’ll have one of the club subs bring you the first aid kit and some cold cloths to wrap around her wrists. They don’t look bad but should be treated.”

“Thank you again, Master Damon.” Austin began undoing the rope around Roni’s middle and her legs. Those had been done correctly.

“Austin, I’ll talk with Master Max about having a bondage class. I think some of the Doms could benefit from it.”

“That would be helpful.”

Damon stepped off the stage and spied Max a few stations down. He leisurely made his way toward Max, keeping an eye out as he walked. He stopped in his tracks when he saw a Dom approach Tessa.

Even from this distance, he could see Tessa stiffen, shake her head, and hold up her wrist. The Dom nodded, then backed away. Damon released the breath he didn’t realize he’d been holding. Even with Sage sitting there, it still bothered him that the man had approached.

“He backed right off,” Max said.

“I know.”

“Then get that murderous look off your face before you scare everyone.”

Damon took a breath. “I didn’t realize I had a murderous look.” Tessa was talking with Sage once again, her face glowing.

“Is everything okay with Austin and his sub?” Max asked.

“Yes. Friction burns from the rope.” Damon shook his head. “Listen, would you be willing to teach a bondage class? I’m thinking some of the newer players could benefit.”

“Not a bad idea. I’ve been thinking about how we might be able to expand our education classes.”

Damon groaned. “More work for us.”

“You’re not one to shy away from more work. Are you available for a business meeting tomorrow?”

“I don’t see why not, but I figured you’d be spending time with the lovely Sierra. In fact, where is she?”

“She went to help one of the subs in the ladies’ room. And usually, yes, Sundays are for Sierra and me, but she’s having a girls’ get-together.”

“Tessa didn’t mention it.” He wondered why. “If they’re getting together, then we can do our meeting at the same time.”

“I believe they’re getting together at Sierra’s old apartment.”
