outside.
Tobi reached out and shook Noelle’s hand even though she wasn’t sure she was supposed to and quietly muttered her thanks. Kyle introduced her to Noelle’s Master, Neal Chambers, before the couple wandered away. Tobi had never felt more defeated than she did at this moment. The women’s comments had brought each and every one of her insecurities right back to the surface. She just let her eyes drift to the floor wishing it would open up and swallow her whole. How had she ever thought she could fit in here? What in the name of creation had possessed her to imagine men as good looking and successful as Kyle and Kent West that they could possibly be interested in her?
The past few minutes had been a brutal reminder of why social classes have existed for centuries and don’t appear to be fading anytime soon. Tobi hadn’t even seen the two women involved, but she’d be willing to bet she knew exactly what they were about. When she heard the door in front of them open she looked up and had her worst suspicions confirmed. Both women were young, model beautiful, and perfectly built. Sighing, Tobi just looked back at the floor. Kyle had stepped up behind her and wrapped his arm around her protectively as he pulled her back against his chest.
Kent stepped in front of the women who both seemed to be walking gingerly. “Stop. You two find your Doms and meet us in the office in three minutes. Do not be late.” His voice was razor sharp and when he glanced at his watch, they both scampered off like frightened rabbits. Kent turned back to her, “Sweetness, we should have explained that while it is true the red cuffs are a signal that you aren’t available for play, we put them on you because you aren’t a club member yet and quite frankly we didn’t want any other Dom hitting on you. So our reasons were both business and selfishly personal.” His sweet smile started melting some of the ice she’d suddenly found herself enclosed in.
Kyle turned her in his arms and leaned down to kiss a tear track from her cheek. “Kitten, those two have both tried more than once to get us to top them. We have steadfastly refused and have always tried to be polite in our refusals. But they obviously are not getting it. I can assure you they are going to understand completely in a few minutes. While we hash this out, we’re going to have you sit with Tank and Regi. They’ll be thrilled to spend time with you and if I had to guess, Noelle has already given them a heads up. That woman is one very bright cookie and she would have seen this pow-wow coming a mile away.”
Kent’s chuckle surprised her, “Hell, my guess is she is marshalling the troops and is planning a tar and feather surprise party for those two as we speak. We haven’t known Noelle long, but it’s easy to see that she is a firecracker. Sweetness, you’ll be safe with Tank and Regi, and I promise we won’t be long. But I don’t want you exposed to the negativity this meeting is going to produce so we won’t include you.” The soft strokes of his thumbs over her cheeks were soothing and suddenly the events of the day seemed to be catching up with her, all she wanted to do was curl up in a ball and sleep until she managed to forget the harsh words she’d overheard.
It was obvious as soon as they entered the small reception area that Kent had been right. Regi and Tank had definitely already been given the scoop and they were wound tight. Regi sprang out of her chair the minute they walked in. “Shi...shih tzu puppies on a stack of sauerkraut Tobi…are you okay?” Tobi was so confused by what Regi had said that she just stared at her new friend who was practically vibrating with anger.
Kyle laughed, “Regi, I swear your saves from you cursing get more creative every time I hear one. But you better break that habit before we find a Dom for you or you’re gonna be spending a lot of time
