"Thorpe, don’tYou can’t--"

He cut her off by working her clit expertly with two fingers devastating either side of the little bud, then alternately rubbing extra friction on top

"Yes, I can I told you to look at me Now," he de blue, widening with every breath she hitched in, eive Callie per in his ears, echoed off the walls, and no doubt drifted down the hall It went on and on as her body convulsed and her clit turned to stone under his touch, then pulsed brilliantly again and again

Callie tumbled into his eyes as the world fell away Only she existed

God, she was stunning When she surrendered, she did it absolutely

And the knowledge that he had to leave her now because he couldn’t trust hi hi his will, he kissed Callie on each hot cheek, brushed his lips over her da press He stayed there, struggling to drag in air A moment, then another He cherished each precious, irreplaceable second Callie sobbed, and his chest shattered

Thorpe broke the kiss and pressed his forehead to hers, nuzzling her

"You proh tears

"I said I wouldn’t before I gave you pleasure You’re not getting away from me, pet Don’t make me show you my ruthless side" He thumbed the wells of her eyes dry with a soft touch Then he draped the coh it until he located her car keys Pocketing therabbed his coat and her packed bags

"Daet up and leave"

He headed for the door "I’ll be back"

THE second Thorpe let hi toward hiotten past Axel?

"What the bloody hell are you doing to Callie? I can hear her screa all over the club"

"Do you think I hurt her?"

Sean’s face turned red "I think you put your fucking hands all over her"

"Ding, ding, ding Soed away fro his office

Kirkpatrick jabbed hiut Thorpe hadn’t seen it cobut he should have

He doubled over, and Sean took the opportunity to slaainst the wall "How dare you touch my collared submissive? I’m bloody in love with Callie I know you overheard me tell her I made certain of it"

Thorpe stared at his unwanted rival, trying to shove hia note for future referenceBut he wasn’t going to tell Sean that Callieso was her place--even if he’d love to shove it in the bastard’s face

"For sos for you, too"

Sean snorted "Not toome to you"

As much as Thorpe would love to let Kirkpatrick believe the worst, he refused to give Sean a reason to punish Callie for his own actions "I didn’t fuck her"

"You wanted to," Sean accused

"That goes without saying Callie is a beautiful woman As you’ve previously noted, I care for her Why are we covering this well traht to know exactly what you did with her" He bounced Thorpe against the wall again

The fucker had punched him so hard, he almost felt queasy But he refused to shoeakness

"Get off me or I’ll have you arrested for assault" To make his point, Thorpe bent and shoved his shoulder into the Scot’s and, using the wall as leverage, heaved the other man off him Then he whipped out his phone to text Axel and tapped out their code for "problem"

"I don’t have time for you," Thorpe said "Let’s just say that Callie has feelings for us both, and she offered us the sas clear, and left her cuffed to her bed alone, all safe and sound I even swiped her car keys" He withdrew theled them in front of Sean’s face

The Scot’s expression turned so "I want to see her"

"I’m sorry I’m still not convinced that you’re in her best interest"

"And you are?" Kirkpatrick scoffed

"No Which is the only reason she wasn’t wearing a collar when you ca around If and when I decide you can see her, I’ll let you know"

On cue, Axel charged down the hall with a couple of his staff in tow Sean carabbed one of his arms

Axel just shoved a hand in Kirkpatrick’s hair and yanked "You had to pee, huh? Let’s go, motherfucker"

Thorpe s nice

"Don’t call me; I’ll call you" Thorpe shouted as the erent, from the club

"This isn’t over," Sean yelled over his shoulder, still fighting them "She’s mine!"

"Fuck off," he ain,strides to his office

Once inside, he paused, then chose a course of action Lance had been in the dungeon earlier Perfect Callie needed care, and she’d do her best to outsht now Thorpe had hoped that ht persuade her to stay, butwishful thinking It would have been smarter if he’d just fucked her since that had likely been his only opportunity Dahts froically Lance wouldn’t take a lick of crap fro, clever Dom--and didn’t have a heterosexual bone in his body Even better

Axel returned a few ht have a shiner toes?"
