custom.” He’d
purchased some new dildos, clamps, and cuffs. Kade already owned a selection of whips and chains that he couldn’t wait to try out
on their new bed partner.
    “I bet she did.”
    “The Elliot twins were bugging her again. I think
she was just happy to get them out of her hair.” Kade chuckled as he remembered the look on Bronson’s and Andrew’s faces when he
asked for assistance. Callie was never going to do it for him. The pleasure
shop owner may know what the difference was between a butt plug and a vibrator,
but Kade wasn’t attracted to Callie at all.

    The following day Steven waited for Holly to get
into work. Kade started working on the ranch early,
and he’d decided to get into the office in order to complete everything for
Friday. When five came on Friday, Steven didn’t want to have to worry about
working late. Kade had promised Steven he’d be back
home and ready to take care of Holly.
    Steven had already decided he wouldn’t partake in
any of the initial activities. He was going to sit and watch. Kade held the experience on taking care of a sub. Steven
was a dominant man, but he wasn’t a Dom. He liked to be in charge and maybe tie
his woman up a couple of times, but he wasn’t trained like Kade was. The only way to bring Holly to them was through Kade’s guidance and training.
    He and Kade had been good
friends for a long time. They were friends through high-school and college.
Once they were back in Creek Valley they’d become business partners and taken
over their parents’ ranches. The Edwards and Clark ranches used to be small and
work side by side. Together they’d torn down the barriers between their ranches
and invested a lot of time and money to bring them up to date.
    What helped their cause was the fact Steven was a
wealthy man, and it wasn’t down to working the ranch. Back in college he’d had
a keen eye in the stock markets and made plenty of money back then. He still
dabbled in the stock markets, and his wealth was solid.
    The only thing Steven was missing was a family. He
loved Kade with his whole heart. Being with him was
like floating in a swimming pool. Steven felt relaxed and comforted with him
around. His love for Kade would never diminish or
disappear. They were destined to be together. All they missed was a woman.
    When they first slept together they both agreed that
even though they loved each other, they needed a woman to complete them. Steven
wanted to be a father. He wanted a warm feminine body to curl around or to be
curled up to, and he needed Kade in his life. From
their conversation last night, it was what Kade wanted as well.
    He heard Holly walk into the office. His door was
open, and he was able to watch her without Holly being aware of it. She placed
her large bag on the counter, rubbed her eyes, and her shoulders slumped.
Wearing a large sweater, again, she looked so lost.
    Looking at her, Steven was sure Holly was on the
verge of breaking apart. She appeared so fragile. After a few seconds she took
some deep breaths. He saw her close her eyes, mutter, and then turn away to put
her purse away.
    Going to the doorway he caught her gaze as she
lifted the coffee pot.
    “What’s the matter, sweetheart?” he asked.
    “Nothing. I’m fine. I’m just thinking about what
we’ve got to do today.” Her hands shook as she poured some coffee into a cup.
The shaking was too bad, and she spilt some hot coffee over her hand. She
gasped out, hissing and dropping the cup.
    Steven went to her instantly.
    “I’m so sorry. I’m such a klutz.” Holly tried to
clean the mess.
    “Leave it.” He made sure his words came out as an
order.
    She stopped and stood. He lifted her hand to assess
the damage. There was a red patch on her hand but nothing serious.
    “Why are you so nervous? What’s happened today?” he
asked.
    Holly nibbled her lip.
    “You’ve got to tell me.”
    “One of my brothers got suspended for fighting. He’s
at home, but he
