Patrick rolled his eyes. It was still awkward to have discussions about kink with his sister. But since she was marrying her Dom in a few months and was a fixture at Solitaire, the exclusive BDSM club he was on the board of, he was going to have to get used to it.

“Where am I taking you, Mr. Sutton?”

Patrick looked at his watch. “I’ll go to the office with Holly. If she’s nice to me, I’ll even try to talk Elijah out of being too pissed at her.”

Holly giggled next to him as they sped through the city Patrick had grown up in. He still kept an apartment in L.A., but he much preferred San Francisco where he lived and worked now.

A half hour later, they pulled into the parking structure of the Barrett Corporation. Dale bid them a good afternoon as he dropped them off in front of the bank of elevators.

Holly scanned her badge as they stepped into the last elevator in the row and was granted access to the highest floor.

Elijah was waiting for them when the doors opened at the top. “You’re lucky Patrick came with you, baby,” he said with a wink as he tugged her out of the elevator and into his arms for a kiss. When he pulled away, he smacked her hard on the ass, causing her to yelp.

Patrick looked away and cleared his throat. “Did you see the news about Nicholas?” he asked when they started moving down the hall to Elijah’s office.

“Yes. I also saw my spunky fiancé give it to the reporters yelling at you on your way down the courthouse steps. If Dale hadn’t ratted you out, the evening news would have.”

“I think we should all go to Colorado early,” Patrick said, as they entered Elijah’s corner office. “You’re likely to get hounded by the paparazzi after today, and I know I will since, I caused a scene in the courtroom.”

Elijah nodded. “I was thinking the same thing. I don’t have anything pressing here. We can talk about finding some new house submissives on the plane. I was thinking of reaching out to people like Austin and a few other unattached subs to see if they’re interested.”

Patrick smirked at the thought of Austin Yates, a feisty New York attorney, taking on the role of house submissive.

“What? Austin’s submissive and we need people like her in the program. She might even be a good match for you to train,” Elijah said.

Patrick held up a hand. “Woah now. What is with you and Holly trying to play matchmaker today? Austin does some work for Eastman Enterprises, I can’t see my becoming her Dom being exactly ethical.”

Elijah laughed. “It was just a suggestion. It’s an eight-week training program. Not a damn engagement.”
