Holly's Awakening Read Free

kind of men: dominating,
controlling, and both in need of a submissive to balance them out. Holly
knocked on the door once again.
    Kade slammed his lips down on Steven’s stopping him from responding to her knock. He
imagined her standing there outside his door waiting.
    “Remember, it’s about what we both want,” Kade said, breaking the
kiss.
    “I would never forget.” Their love was shocking and
powerful. “Holly is what we both want and need, and you can’t deny that.”
    “I won’t.” Kade cupped his
face. “I’ll see you after five.”
    Steven watched his lover walk to the door. Holly
stood waiting. She glanced up at Kade , blushed and
looked down at the floor.
    “He’s all yours, sweetheart.” Kade cupped her cheek, tilted her head back and brushed his lips against hers.
Steven watched and got instantly hard. “Take care of him for me.”
    Holly was bright red by the time she walked into his
office.
    “I-I-I—”
    “Don’t worry about it, baby. Kade knows what he’s doing.”
    “I-I didn’t encourage him.”
    His heart went out to her. Wrapping his arms around
her, Steven pulled her close and inhaled her strawberry scent. She always
smelled like strawberries to him.
    “I know you didn’t. Kade’s his own person, and I’m not going to have a problem with that at all.”
    She frowned glancing up at him. “I don’t get it.”
    “You’ll get it soon.” Stroking her cheek, Steven was
caught again by her shyness and her submissiveness. Holly was perfect for both
him and Kade . He’d spent the last couple of years
watching her.
    When she’d left school she worked at the small
supermarket in town as one of the cashiers. Steven always made sure he shopped
when she was working and stood in line for her to serve him.
    He’d been the one to suggest she work for him. That
was a year ago. For the last year he’d observed her working and couldn’t stop
his feelings from developing.
    Steven had noted Kade’s attention toward her. His lover might hate the way she dressed, but he’d taken
more note of her than he had of any other woman who’d tried it on with him.
They hadn’t taken a woman since they’d become exclusive. There was a time when
they were only friends sharing a woman between them. That soon changed as their
attraction developed between each other.
    Handing Holly some paperwork, Steven couldn’t tear
his gaze away from her retreating figure.
    Shit, he wanted her badly.

Chapter
Two
     
    Kade waited for John Walker to finish packing up his shit before talking to him. John
was the only person Kade knew connected to Holly. He
wanted to make sure Steven wasn’t putting them in some kind of danger because
he was feeling guilty or some shit.
    “What’s the matter, Boss?” John asked, turning to
face him. The other man wiped his hands on his jeans waiting for Kade to answer.
    “I need a word with you.”
    “Okay, I’ve got to pick Holly up from the office
though. Could we talk and walk?” John asked.
    Following in step beside him Kade waited for enough distance to be put between them and the other men.
    “How did Holy get the bruise?” Kade asked.
    “Fuck! That’s not my shit to tell.”
    “Then you better start talking, John. I want to know
why your sister is still at home with her parents?   Why you’re not there with her? How she got
the bruise? And if she’s trying something on with Steven? Is the shyness an
act?” Kade kept firing questions at him until John
threw his hands up in surrender. They both stopped and glared at each other.
    “Stop, just stop.” John looked left and right. “I
don’t know what your problem is, but stop with all the questions.”
    “You’re going to answer my questions if you like it
or not.” Kade took a step closer invading the other
guy’s space. John didn’t back down or flinch.
    “Boss, I grew up with a man who weighed more than
you did with bad breath and a real bad attitude. Considering he was drunk so
much, his aim was
