Brie's Montana Dreams (Submissive in Love, #4) Read Free Page A

what do you think of my utopia?”
    She glanced up at the impressive building before her. “The Sanctuary is nothing like I imagined.”
    “This has been my lifelong vision,” he stated proudly.
    “You have an exquisite imagination, sir.”
    “I knew it would become reality, but I had to be patient and invite the right people to share in my dream. Although I’ve agreed to let you join us for several weeks, you are not allowed to shoot any footage of any of the buildings on the estate. I want to promote the idea that we live a simple life to the outside world.”
    “What am I allowed to film, then?”
    “Any outdoor activities. You may also interview interested members. However, the lush accommodations, as well as the exact location, must remain secret. I do not want our way of life disrupted by the curious and unvetted.”
    “Can I ask why you’ve agreed to let me film here if you want to keep your privacy?”
    “I hope my vision will inspire others like it. America has been bound by laws created by prudish misfits. It is time to open our minds and bodies to something greater.”
    “It seems you’re talking about more than just sexual freedom.”
    He cocked his head and smiled as he petted the cat. “You’re perceptive, Miss Bennett. Before I subject you to a political lecture, I suggest you seek out your friends. I believe they are waiting for you in the garden.”
    Brie turned in the direction he pointed and spied Faelan standing next to a large fountain. She excused herself, giving the cat a scratch under its chin before leaving the Master.
    Todd Wallace looked leaner than she remembered, and she noticed a wildness in his eyes that she hadn’t seen before. It made the young Dom even more striking, but it unsettled her on a gut level she couldn’t understand. There was nothing sexual about that feral look.
    Mary, on the other hand, looked totally relaxed and in her element. Brie had never seen her friend exude such easy confidence. Unlike the Blonde Nemesis of her training, Mary seemed comfortable and very content.
    “Well, look what the cat dragged in…”
    “Hey, bitch,” Brie answered. “Too good to contact me just to let me know you’re okay? I assume you’re free to leave the commune to connect with friends and family on occasion.”
    Mary looked around, gesturing to several shirtless men in cowboy hats walking past, and shrugged. “If given the choice, I would pick staying here and playing with them every time. In fact…I have.”
    Brie glanced at Faelan, curious whether he was jealous hearing Mary speak like that. She was surprised to see Todd’s expression change as he stared at Mary. It was a protective but loving look, and made Brie reconsider her initial unease about him. Maybe this commune was a healthy environment for them both.
    “Why did I even bother to come?” Brie teased.
    “I don’t know. It’s not like I asked you to visit.”
    Faelan put his arm around Mary. “Now, now…” He looked at Brie with those mesmerizing blue eyes and said, “Don’t let her bitterness fool you. She’s been anxious for your arrival.”
    Mary elbowed him in the gut. “Shut the fuck up, Faelan.”
    He raised his eyebrow. “What did we say about the word ‘fuck’?”
    She let out an irritated sigh. “We only use it as a verb.”
    “That’s right,” he replied smoothly. “Drop and give me twenty.”
    Mary put her hands on her hips. “Don’t do this. Not in front of Stinky Cheese.”
    “We agreed,” he answered her.
    Mary huffed as she reluctantly got down on the ground and began counting out twenty pushups. Brie had to cover her mouth to keep from laughing at seeing Mary submit so easily to Faelan.
    “Who the hell is this girl and what did you do with Mary?” she demanded.
    Faelan smiled charmingly. “Same girl, different attitude.”
    Mary continued with her pushups without adding her own snarky remark, but in trying to hurry, her pushups became shallow. Faelan put his foot on
