“Hello, darling.” His voice fills the cab.
Chapter Two
Nora
My eyes are wide as I stare at the man behind the wheel. His hair is short and he has stubble, like he hasn’t shaved in several days. Brown eyes pierce into my soul as we gaze at each other.
“Little bit, you’re okay,” Elijah comforts behind me. “This is Brix Burns. Both of us work as security at the Whiskey Mountain Lodge and live together.”
I continue to just stare at Brix, not knowing what else to do. I thought Elijah was the only one coming to pick me up.
“I’m not going to bite. Unless you are into that sort of thing.” Brix smiles.
“Eeeek!” I push myself further into Elijah.
“Stop messing with her. She is obviously frightened,” Elijah scolds. “Drive. We’ve got an hour to go.”
I whip my head around to look outside, trying to see if Mateo ran outside after me. But I relax into the seat when I don’t see him. Did he see me get into the car?
Brix starts to drive down the road, and I keep my head dipped the whole time, just in case someone I know is out there who will talk to Mateo. My body starts to relax even more as we continue our journey.
“Who are you hiding from?” Brix asks.
My head whips to his direction once again, and I shake my head. “We don’t need to talk about that.”
“I thought you said you weren’t in danger,” Elijah adds.
I look at him. “I’m not!” I snap.
The car goes silent, and I let out a sigh.
“I’m sorry. I’m really sorry. I shouldn’t have snapped at you, and I shouldn’t have been rude. I just… I’m exhausted and off—” I whisper and trail off. “It was no way for me to act, and I’m sorry.”
Elijah’s strong arm wraps around my shoulders, pulling me into him. “You’re okay,” he gently says, kissing the top of my head. “Everything is going to be okay. We’re here to protect you now.”
I pull away. “You don’t have to do that. I just need some space to get away from everyone for a little bit.”
“Have you texted your boss to say that you’re taking time off?” Brix asks.
“Shit.” My eyes go wide.
“No cursing.” Elijah spanks my thigh lightly.
I glare at him. “I can curse if I want to. You aren’t my Daddy.”
Elijah grabs my chin, forcing me to continue to look at him. “We may not be your Daddies… yet… but make no mistake, while you are at the lodge, you are under our care and rules. You are an unaccompanied sub living with us until you decide to leave. That was in the contract that you said you had already read.”
My mouth hangs open as his words penetrate my mind. Daddies? Yet? Living with them?
“Wh-what?” I whisper. “Of course I read the contract! I made sure to in case the person who called me decided to ask questions.”
A smile spread across his face. “Good girl for reading it. Maybe I should quiz you when we get to the cabin.”
“And punish her if she answers one of the questions wrong,” Brix adds.
“No,” I mumble. “No. Not happening.”
“Whoa, you’re okay.” Elijah grips the back of my neck, giving it a little squeeze. “Everything is going to be okay. We’ll talk about rules, safewords, hard limits, and all before we do anything.”
