He wondered if Braun and Liam had found themselves burdened with similargifts.
Maybe he’d ask them.
“Tell Tabitha it’s me askin’ the favor,” Zeke told him. “Just make sure she knows to use the front door—and knock first—if she comes for information. My girl’s shy, and an unexpected audience at a bad time might spook her.”
Olivia moaned in embarrassment, and voluntarily filled her mouth with food.
“Your girl,” Alicia crooned. Little hearts swam in her eyes. “I’m so happy for you both. Don’t deny you’ve been on your own for too long, Zeke,” she said with a huff. “We’ve been worried about you.”
“No need to worry about me, darlin’. I’m right where I want to be.”
But she’d already brushed him aside, her attention on Olivia. “Having a Dom is so much fun! Once the nerves pass, it’s so freeing. And the orgasms,” she giggled, fanning herself with the hand not cupping a toddler’s butt, “are out of this world. You did give her an orgasm, didn’t you, Zeke?”
“Alicia.” Att sighed in exasperation.
“Well, he needs to up his game if he didn’t,” she protested. “Every woman should know what it feels like, especially if she’s a virgin. Daddy gave me my first,” she confided to Olivia. “My father didn’t really care about anything but getting his rocks off, but he was a—”
“Very bad man,” Atticus finished as Olivia choked. “Lisha didn’t have a conventional sexual awakening.”
Zeke’s brow lowered. While Livvy probably knew more about the Masters and their significant others than anyone, he didn’t want her slapped in the face with a reminder of what her fate might have been. Nor did he need her scared off by Alicia’s eager recitations of explicit scenes; not the morning after she’d ventured past her limits.
“I think it’s time for a shower,” he decided, pleased to see Olivia’s plate was almost clean. He pressed a kiss to her temple as a reward, then inclined his head at Atticus. “Will you be there on Friday?”
“Sitter’s booked. You?”
“Don’t know yet. Depends on…” His eyes slid to Livvy. “Everything.”
“Oh, you should come! Girls’ night!” Alicia declared, bouncing Natasha excitedly on her hip, and stirring Link into a frenzy of clapping. “We’re all going to be there, and you can meet everyone. I mean, I guess you know most of us, but you haven’t seen us all in a while and—”
Olivia shrank into Zeke’s chest, her face reflecting what she thought of socializing on a grand scale. If she joined the subs’ circle, she’d be number eight, and he got the feeling eight was not a magic number in her opinion.
“We’ll see, Lisha. There’s a lot to talk about before Olivia dives in; the lifestyle isn’t for everyone, remember, and it’s daunting for some people.”
The Little’s face fell. “Oh. Of course, I’m sorry. Getting ahead of myself.”
“It’s fine.” Zeke helped Livvy slide off his lap, steadying her as she stumbled. “Head for the shower, angel. I’ll be there in a minute.”
“D-Do you need help with the dishes, sir?” she asked Atticus.
“No, sweetheart, I’ve got it. But thank you.”
With a nod that was completely submissive, she trudged toward the hallway.
“Got any pain meds, Att?” Zeke asked quietly as he stood. “I think she’s feeling rougher than she’s letting on.”
“I’ll get you some. Zeke… I love you like a brother; we all do. The Masters consider you one of the family, you know that, right?”
His lips twitched.
“Sonic’s one of my best techs. Even working remotely, her standards didn’t drop until the last few weeks—for obvious reasons. More than that, she’s become part of the family too, only in a different branch. If you hurt her…”
“I get it, Att. If I hurt her, it won’t be a hospital stay this time; I’ll need a coffin.”
“That about sums it up.”
“Don’t expect anything less.”
