Brie Discerns Master's Heart (After Graduation, #6) by Red Phoenix Page A

as he took comfort in her presence. But it wasn’t enough to fill the emotional abyss. Sir pulled at her clothes, removing them hurriedly until his fingers met the resistance of her jewelry. He grunted and looked down for a second, ripping it from her and replacing it with his cock.
    Sir climbed onto Brie, like a drowning man climbing into a boat. She became his means of survival as he filled the cavernous void in his soul with her feminine offering. Brie opened herself to him, willingly accepting her role. Sir’s groans were subdued as he took her deep and hard. Brie looked up at the swirling mist, tears streaming down her face as she cried for Thane the young adolescent and Thane the man.
    All that pain, held inside for years, was now exacting an excruciating toll as it erupted with violent force. The desperate coupling seemed to go on forever, his anguish too great for him to find release. Eventually he stiffened inside her and cried out in painful relief.
    Sir pushed off her and lay beside Brie on the ground, watching the swirling mist as his breath slowly returned to normal.
    When he finally turned to Brie, his anguished gaze penetrated the depths of her soul, causing her to shiver from the chill of it, but she did not flinch.
    “Seeing that woman,” he said hoarsely, “it’s as if it happened yesterday. I see him on the floor, struggling for breath, blood everywhere.” Brie felt him shudder beside her. “She just stood there and did nothing, cold as ice.” Sir growled as he looked back up at the sky. “It should have been her on the ground. To this day, I wish it had been her.”
    Brie put her arms around him, but remained silent.
    “She wants something from me…”
    She pressed against him, wanting to bring comfort and assurance. “Maybe she needs to make amends.”
    He frowned. “She never showed remorse, never asked for forgiveness. There would be no reason for her to seek it now. I can only think of one thing that would motivate her.”
    Brie was afraid to voice the obvious question.
    Sir continued, speaking his thoughts. “She knew I wouldn’t have given her permission to see me…so she went through you.” He snorted in anger. “As devious and selfish as I remember.”
    The mist had slowly given way to the warmth of the sunshine. Sir stared up at the sky as the sun broke through the haze. “It’s time we head over to Ren’s.”
    He gently dressed her, as if she were breakable, like china, and then picked up the jewelry and placed it in his pocket. Sir helped Brie to her feet, holding her close for several minutes.
    She understood that this had been a significant victory. Sir had survived the unexpected encounter with his mother.
    The drive to Tono’s was silent but reverent.
    Brie wondered if her Asian Master had been told of Sir’s early return. Tono’s calm expression when he opened the door hinted that Sir had already forewarned him.
    “Welcome to my home, Sir Davis,” he said.
    Brie was technically still Tono’s sub and was unsure how to behave with both Masters. She looked at Sir, who nodded towards him.
    Brie bowed. “Tono, how may I serve you?”
    “Go change into your normal clothes and pack, toriko, while I speak with Sir Davis.”
    She bowed again before leaving the men. She was excited to be packing to rejoin Sir back at home, but there was a sense of sadness as well. The thought that Tono would face a lonely house after they left hurt her heart.
    Brie returned to find them engaged in lively conversation.
    “I asked Marquis about Wallace when you told me what happened at the gym. The boy claimed he was nowhere near the workout center the morning Brie saw him.”
    “Do you believe him?” Tono asked.
    “I didn’t until this morning.”
    Brie knelt down at the end of the table between both men.
    Sir turned to Brie. “How close were you? Are you certain it was Wallace?”
    Brie thought back to that morning and shook her head. “No, Sir. The man looked like Faelan, but I
