Page 54 of Master Cole

The door opened, and Rick, the owner of Whips, stood just inside. Janie glanced down at the ground, then back at Rick. She hadn’t seen him since the night Cole had come in and carried her out of the club.

“Hey, Cole.” Rick smiled. “Janie, it’s good to see you again.” Rick paused and looked at Alicia. “And who is this sweet thing?” Rick took Alicia’s right hand and dropped a kiss on the back of it.

“This is Alicia, and she’s under my protection.”

Rick held his hands up. “No worries. Come in, I have all the paperwork ready.” Cole released them and stood back, gesturing for Janie and Alicia to enter.

“Paperwork?” Alicia whispered.

“It’s simple stuff, mainly a legality so the club has signed paperwork you’re here because you want to be,” Janie said.

The outer office of the club was pretty bare. It featured two desks, one with a computer; and a table with a couple of chairs so you could sit and fill out your paperwork. Cole took her hand, and Janie glanced up at him. His face was closed. Rick handed Alicia a clipboard with the paperwork. She made her way over to the table and sat down.

“Cole, Janie, anything I need to update on yours?” he asked.

Janie shook her head.

“No, we’re both good,” Cole said.

“Janie, can you come here for a minute?” Alicia asked from the table.

“Excuse me.” Janie looked up at Cole and tried to shake her hand free. Instead of releasing her, he guided her over to Alicia. “What’s up?”

“Ummm ... ” Alicia stared at Cole, her cheeks turning pink.

“Sir, can you please give Alicia and me a few minutes alone?”

Cole shook his head as if he were waking up. “Sure. I’ll go talk with Rick.” He released her hand and left the two of them.

“Phew, that man is throwing off testosterone.” Alicia waved her hand in the air.

“Yes.” Janie slipped onto the chair next to Alicia. “He’s in full Dom mode. What do you need help with?”

“I’m unsure how to answer a couple of these questions.”

Cole keptan eye on Janie and Alicia as they sat, heads together, going over Alicia’s paperwork.

“I’ve never seen you like this,” Rick commented.

“Janie’s special.” She was very special to him, and he wouldn’t see her hurt.

“I noticed the necklace, that’s the first time you’ve collared a sub.”

Cole stiffened. When he’d given Janie the necklace, it was simply a way for him to know when she was ready to play, but now that Rick said it, Cole liked the idea of it being a collar. “It will keep the other Doms at bay tonight.”

“You’ve got your hands full, buddy, with your sub and the beautiful Alicia.”

Cole frowned. “She’s a complete novice. I only brought her here to show her right from wrong. So make sure you tell the uncommitted Doms she’s off limits.”

Rick laughed. “Cole, you know it doesn’t work like that, but I will let them know you’re her protector, and they’ll approach you first.”

“That works for me.” He watched the two women stand and walked over to them.

Damn, Janie looked delicious in her outfit. He wanted nothing more than to carry her out of Whips, take her home to his playroom, strip her down, and tease her until she couldn’t stand it anymore.

“All done?” Rick asked, holding out his hand.

“Yes.” Alicia handed him the clipboard.
