Sohecouldn’t find out.

“Hey, you can stop now.”

She jumped at Roman’s words and looked up at him in surprise. “What?”

He nodded at the piece of paper in front of her. “You’ve gotten to a hundred and eight lines.”

Shoot. She had?

“You mean I wrote eight more lines than I needed to?” she cried. “That sucks.”

He picked up the piece of paper and ran his fingers over the lines.

“That’s something we’ll need to watch,” Salem said as he stepped closer, studying her. He grasped hold of her right hand and started to massage it.

“What do you mean?” she asked.

“If you zone out like that during other punishments, you might not notice if you’re in pain or things are going too far. You might not say your safeword. That is something to be careful of.”

“It was only because doing the lines was so boring,” she said.

“They were meant to be boring,” he told her. “That’s part of the punishment.”

“Well, now I’m bored,” Alexei said. “Can we get back to the part where Bunny comes and sits on my lap? There’s a game on in an hour. I want her on my lap during it.”

“Oh, but we were going to start a new book,” Roman said.

“I’m going to make dinner,” Salem said. “I wanted her with me.”

Uh-oh.

She stared around the three of them.

Salem reached down and lifted her onto the desk. “I wonder if you might consider staying the weekend with us.”

Alexei didn’t get it.

Why ask her? Why not just tell her?

Salem could be as controlling as anyone he’d met. Yet, he only liked to take over once he got all of the consent stuff out of the way.

Blah. Blah. Blah.

What they didn’t know was that there was no way Alexei was allowing her to go home.

At least not alone.

Not that she’d necessarily know he was watching.

Sure, some people might call that stalking . . . he called it being protective.

He just couldn’t let her leave for the next two days and not see her . . .

Let’s face it. If he could keep her here forever, then he would. But Salem would have a fit about free will.

Again.
