“Funny, seemed to me he was threatening to whip you with his belt.”
“He didn’t mean that.”
“He made you cry.”
“Like you haven’t made me cry plenty?”
What? Who was this guy? She knew him?
“I said, let me go!” She bit the hand of the guy holding her and he yowled, shifting his hold on her.
“Ria, stop it!” Connor growled at her, terrified she was going to prod these guys into harming her.
She froze, staring at him in hurt.
“You are still my sub,” he told her in a low voice. “You will obey me now and stop fighting, understand?”
“I understand that you no longer want to be my Dom so I don’t have to do a fucking thing you say!”
“I made a mistake. The contract still stands. Now do as you were told.”
“Enough!” the guy in charge in roared. “I shouldn’t have to hear this.”
That was a strange thing to say. Connor looked over at
Hunter, noted he was watching this guy with interest. As though he knew something about him Connor didn’t.
“Well, if you wouldn’t fucking turn up unannounced in the middle of the fucking night then maybe you wouldn’t have to hear about my fucking sex life!” Ria told him.
The big guy’s face grew icy.
“Ria!” Connor barked. He didn’t know what was going on but he knew she was deliberately provoking this guy.
“Let me go, Carson!”
“Ria, I need you to calm down and let me handle this,” Connor told her firmly. Damn it, hadn’t she learned anything after what happened tonight? Why the fuck couldn’t she obey him?
“Connor, you don’t understand—”
“Quiet, sub. Now.”
“Wrong move, bro,” Hunter muttered quietly.
The big man’s gaze narrowed. His focus on Connor absolute. “Do not speak to her that way.”
“Freddy, you don’t understand—”
“Ria, quiet.”
“Is nobody willing to listen to me?”
“I’ll listen to you,” Hunter told her.
“Carson,” the big guy said.
Carson immediately placed his hand over Ria’s mouth. Her eyes bugged out as she glared at Freddy.
“What do you want?” Connor asked.
