He sensed her confusion, and he smiled. Didn’t she realize there were sweeter, easier ways to punish her rather than to cause her immense pain? There was no punishment in trying to cause her pain. She couldn’t feel it.
Washing the toys in anti-bacterial soap, he dried them and placed them back in their place. He released her from the binds that kept her to the bed.
“Sir, have I done anything to upset you?” she asked.
Kissing her head, he leaned in close to her ear. “It’s your punishment, Dawn. You’re not going to be coming for the rest of the day, but that’s not going to stop me from touching or playing with you.”
She stayed on the floor in her submissive pose while he grabbed the bed sheets. Part of him didn’t want to leave the room while another knew he needed to prove to her how far he could go.
His cell phone buzzed in his pocket. Taking the device out he saw a text was left from Jake.
Jake: Doc’s here. He wants to see you. I’m at the gate.
“We’ve got to head back home.” He waited for her to get to her feet, and he wrapped the blanket around her body.
“Have I upset you, Sir?” she asked. Her lip wobbled as he secured the blanket around her.
“You’ve not upset me. I’m giving you some much needed privacy. I’ve got a friend waiting at the gate. I promised you that no one but me will see you naked, and I intend to deliver.” He took her hand. “The moment they’re gone I’ll be having you naked once again.”
Daniel led her back to the house. He smelled Jake on the air, and he noticed Dawn smelled the air as well.
“You’ve brought the Doc here?”
“How do you know the Doc?” he asked, letting her lack of address slip. She was worried. Her wolf started to pace a little unsure about what was happening.
“He visited a wolf in distress during pregnancy.” Dawn stopped in the garden. “Why’s he here?”
“I’ve brought him here to see me. He won’t know it’s you.”
“He will. How can you cover my scent? Shit, he can probably already smell me.”
Daniel tightened his hand on hers, holding her tightly. “Pet, look at me. Look into my eyes.” He waited for her to pause before he continued. “I’ll never let anything happen to you. If your pack finds out we’ll know who told. Don’t worry, I promise your secret is more than safe.” He pressed a kiss to her lips.
“Okay.”
“There’s no reason for you to leave. Come on, we’ll go and meet the Doc together.”

Dawn’s wolf paced as they made their way around the front of the house. The blanket pooled around her legs, and she gripped the bottom so she didn’t trip up or fall over. Daniel didn’t move too fast, so she was able to keep up with each of his steps.
It took several minutes of walking before the gate came into view. She recognized Doc immediately. The other man she remembered from the club but didn’t know who he was.
“Hello, Jake,” Daniel said.
“Are we interrupting?” Jake asked, looking at her. She smelled Daniel on the other man, and she knew he was part of the pack.
“No.” Daniel went to the electric box, opened the door, and typed in a code. The gates opened up letting the two men inside.
“Dawn.” The Doc nodded his head at her.
Daniel stepped beside her, wrapping an arm around her shoulders. “Her presence here is to remain a secret,” Daniel said, coming to her rescue.
She dropped her head feeling ashamed that she had to hide who she was from her family and her pack.
“I won’t say anything.”
Her mate stepped closer invading Doc’s space. “I mean it. Anyone says anything and I’ll be coming back for you.”
Doc swallowed. “I didn’t think you believed in violence?”
“I don’t believe in violence, but if I’m pushed, I’ll do whatever the hell I have to in order to protect my woman.” Daniel stood to his full height, the scent of his wolf coming to the fore for all of them to know he meant business.
Goosebumps erupted on her arms as heat flooded her pussy at the dominant display.
“I’ve got it,” Doc said.
“You’re going to go all alpha on a woman who’s denied your claiming?” Jake took a step closer. The anger rolled off him along with his disapproval.
She gasped at the smells coming her way along with the anger. Daniel growled, stepping in front of her.
“Daniel, you can do much better.”
“She’s my mate, Jake. You’ll show her some motherfucking respect or I’ll make sure you regret any words that come out of your mouth.”
