“Kara’s here?” He wasn’t sure what this man’s relationship with Kara was.
“You thought she was with…” He stopped, seeming to search his memory. “Bryce? Bob?”
“Brian.”
“I can’t keep up with the guys who follow my Kara around. It’s a lot,” he allowed, seemingly disinterested in the subject. “But she wouldn’t miss tonight for the world, and you and Tash are the only outside visitors allowed in this evening.”
What was Brian getting himself into? Maybe there was a reason the man wasn’t answering his calls. He was utterly into Kara, and it appeared she had something going with this big American. It wasn’t his business. At least not tonight. “Is Kara your sub?”
Cooper leaned against the locker and sighed. “If only it was that easy. We have a complex relationship, to say the least, but it’s important to me. Kara won’t be playing the sub this evening. Treat her the same way you would a Mistress.”
“Ah, so…”
“I’m a Dom,” Cooper explained. “Hence the complexity. Don’t worry about it. Tonight is all about showing her cousin a good time. They teach you how the locks work? No cell phones on the dungeon floor.”
He wasn’t particularly worried about his cell. His laptop was in there, but Nate would be hanging out in here since they’d decided they were comfortable with the security at The Station. “I’m good and totally tech free. I assume my kit arrived.”
One more thing he’d ordered.
“It did, and I set everything up in the privacy room you requested. I thought we would do a quick tour of the club and then you and Tash can settle in for the night. You’ve got the space for as long as you like, but I was going to invite you to spend the last hour of the evening in the lounge with Kara and myself. I find it can be good to have a drink and come down a bit.”
From the high of Dominance. From the high of submission. From the high of getting to be whoever a person was for a little while without worrying about the outside world. The idea of sitting in a lifestyle club with Tasha on his lap, talking to people who understood him, seemed like heaven. “We would love that. I thought we could watch a few scenes first. It’s been a while since I was in a club.”
Cooper straightened up and started toward the door. “I’d heard you haven’t been practicing for a while. I hope we meet your standards.”
He chuckled. “As long as it’s clean and consent is the word of the day, I don’t have any standards. I’ve only been a member of one club, but I know there’s a lot of diversity in them. The one I was a member of was small but amazing. It’s more about the members than how much money was spent on the equipment.”
Cooper held the door open. “See, that’s what I keep telling my…friends. I started a club back home, and yes, it is not exactly the most luxurious place in the world, but it’s ours. We’re working on it. One day, it’ll be spectacular.”
“Are you going on about that club of yours again?” Kara was standing in the hallway wearing a leather catsuit that molded to her every curve. Cooper moved in beside her, an arm winding around her waist to rest on her hip.
“You know I am, and you know I’m right,” he said.
They made a gorgeous couple, and it was clear they were comfortable with each other.
There was absolutely no space for Brian in there. It made him wonder what games Kara was playing.
“Only if you continue to have excellent advisors,” she replied and then glanced behind her. “Tash, hurry up. Your prince awaits, and he looks pretty good.”
His heart threatened to stop as Tasha stepped out of the women’s locker room, and she looked heavenly in a white corset and thong and heels that he had no idea how she walked in. She was graceful as she moved toward him, her hair flowing around her shoulders, the dark color contrasting with the white of her fet wear.
She was the single most gorgeous woman he’d ever seen, and she was his. She wanted to be with him.
He held a hand out, allowing her to place hers there so he could draw her in. “Hello, beautiful.”
Her lips curled into the sweetest smile. “Hello, Sir.”
He leaned over, brushing his lips against hers. “In case I forget later on when I’m in full-on Dom mode, thank you for tonight.”
“You’re welcome, but you never forget, Dare. You always thank me. You always think about me. I can’t tell you how much that means to me.”
“Do you want to move on to the privacy room and skip all the perverted stuff so you can get engaged now?” Kara asked.
Tasha turned and frowned her way. “You hush.”
