I leaned over and kissed Trouble, then flickedhis nose as I straightened. “I agree, but it’s not up to me.”
“As a member of the voting public, it is upto you.” He rolled his eyes. “It’s up to me too and I’m declaring it stupid.”
I snorted. “My days are full.Youtake on the world and change the law.”
I knew as soon as the words popped out ofmy mouth that I was opening a can of worms. Trouble’s eyes lit up and henodded. “I need to. It’s utterly barbaric. That’s how it needs to be tackled.By limiting omegas’ freedom, we’re running the risk of heading back to thedreaded Dark Times.”
I could see the wheels turning in his head,but luckily I heard a knock at the back door that saved me from having to askabout his plans for world domination. If World War Three broke out over sextoys, I didn’t want to be involved in the planning of it.
Austin popped up and headed for the back door,so I barked out a quick order. “Look through that peephole or I’ll get thatcage out, Trouble.”
Giggling, Austin shook his ass at me butlooked through the hole before he opened the door. Tanner hesitantly inchedaround it. “Um, bad time?”
I shrugged. “Is it ever a good time withhim?”
That set Trouble off again and he threw hisarms around Tanner as he giggled. “Come meet my Silas.”
His Silas?
Tanner chuckled, starting to relax. “Ialready met him.”
Austin rolled his eyes. “But if you come inand have to do it again, you can peek around the curtain and see the store.Duh.”
Tanner blushed, but his eyes widened and hestepped further into the small room. “See, you should have started with that.”
“I was trying to be subtle so I wouldn’tget in trouble.” Austin clearly thought they were going to have to work onTanner’s subtle naughtiness skills. I wasn’t sure his Dom would appreciatethat, but I figured he had to know what he was getting into since he’d knownTanner and the crowd for so long.
Even I would’ve been able to see Austinleading Tanner down the path of greatest temptation. It was what the universedesigned him for.
Tanner’s eyes widened as he peered into thestore. Seeing it for the first time always surprised people. Some were justshocked because of how clean it was and that it didn’t look anything like whatthey’d imagined, and some were just overwhelmed because of the sheer number ofdirty items.
I had a feeling Tanner was one of thelatter.
I knew from Austin’s stories that Tannerwas just as kinky as the rest of the group, but most of the time he didn’t looklike it. Sure, I knew better than anyone not to judge a book by its cover, butas he tried to look deeper into the store, it was the first moment he reallylooked like a naughty sub.
Austin giggled. “He has all kinds of funthings.”
I gave him a stern look that had himshifting back and forth. “What did I say about you staying out of sight?”
I’d have felt worse about growling at him,but he was only wiggling because he was trying to subtly play with his cock. SoI glanced down at his wandering fingers. “And are you supposed to be doingthat?”
It was Tanner’s turn to chuckle, but he wasback to watching me more carefully. I wasn’t going to apologize for keeping aneye on Trouble. If Tanner didn’t realize he was a handful, then he didn’t knowhis friend as well as I thought he did.
“No, Master.” Austin’s smooth voice wassilky and filled with need.
“Don’t try to manipulate me. You go havefun, but remember the rules.” The plan was for him to hang out with his friendsfor a few hours and then come back here, but if he’d had anything to drink,then he had to call the driver, take a cab, or call me.
He gave me a wide-eyed look and batted his eyelashesat me. “I’ll be very good, Master.”
Shaking my head, I gave Trouble a quickkiss then smacked his ass as he danced off, dragging Tanner with him. “Bye,Master, I’ll see you later.”
As I closed the door behind them, I heardTanner’s voice. “He growls at you a lot.”
Austin’s answer made me grin. “I know.Isn’t it sexy?”
Trouble wasn’t like anyone else I’d evermet.
Heading back into the store, I wassurprised to see Shane. Raising one eyebrow, I went back to the register andwaited. He sighed. “Tanner was supposed to mention I wanted to talk to youabout the club?”
