He needed to be in that bedroom with her and Law. Or try to be. She might slam the door in his face, but he would take it with good grace as long as she allowed him to apologize first.
Without another word, he strode down the hall and found the door, unlocked now because Law was inside with her.
He wouldn't lock her in again. She'd said she would stay. If they had a shot at any sort of forgiveness or future with her, he had to learn to trust her, too. He knocked.
"Go away." Law's deep growl sounded through the walls.
He was cock blocking his best friend. Dominic winced, then he knocked again because he wasn't going away. "I want to talk to Kinley."
"Later."
"Now." Damn it.
Someone wrenched the door opened. Law. He'd already tossed his shirt off and was breathing heavily, scowling Dominic's way. "Can't it wait? Or has something happened?"
"Yeah, I decided I was wrong and I want to apologize."
Law's eyes narrowed. "You interrupted us to say that you're sorry?"
"Unless I can convince her to take more than just an apology. I'm sorry, Law. I don't know how to make this right. I don't know what any of this fucking means. I just don't want to miss out. I think you might be right. She might be important." He felt like an idiot. He'd never been in this position, on the outside, practically begging to be let in. It wasn't a feeling he liked.
Kinley stepped up behind Law, peering out from behind his back. "Are you sorry you kidnapped me?"
He had to be honest with her. "No. If I hadn't, you wouldn't be here. I'd be a lot sorrier about that. I think you would, too."
She pursed her lips. "Are you sorry that your dog raped mine?"
He wasn't about to take that. "No, your dog led mine into sin. He has a thing for bows. She used it against him."
He caught the faintest hint of a smile from her. "I'll admit, she's a flirty thing. So if you're not apologizing for kidnapping me or very likely turning my dog into a single mother, what are you sorry about?"
So many things. "For being rude to you."
She shrugged. "Well, it's probably rude to offer sex in exchange for putting away a dangerous criminal. I've already told Law that I'll help out. I'll give you everything I know."
Kinley curled her arms around his buddy's torso as though she found comfort in being close to him. They were already bonding as a Dom and sub should. And Dominic almost choked, wondering if he was too late.
It couldn't be. He wanted to worry about her, be responsible for her. Comfort and care for and pleasure her. He and Law should be a team when it came to Kinley. "I'm sorry I hurt you."
"You're forgiven."
Just like that? God, how good was this woman?
Law had a shit-eating grin on his face. "Baby, I think he's sorry about a whole lot of other things."
"I'm not going to make him beg. I forgive him and I hope we can be friends."
"I think that's what he's most sorry about," Law explained. "He's really fucking sorry he's on the wrong side of this door. He wants in and he's not sure how to ask since he's never had to."
Kinley stared at him, her eyes wide, her lips parted. He wanted to kiss her desperately. "Do you truly want to come in, Dominic?"
"Yes. I want to give you the knowledge you asked for. I want to teach you what it means to submit to a man, to trust him enough to place your body and your pleasure in his hands. I want to help show you just how high you can soar. And I want to share you with Law and Riley, though Riley might not come around. Even if he doesn't, I want to be a part of your training, Kinley. For as long as we're here, I want to be your Master."
"I hadn't exactly hit her with the kinky stuff yet, Dominic. Let's start with sex before we get to the spankings."
"Understood." He could wait until tomorrow to tie her up as long as he was in her bed tonight. "I want in, Kinley. Will you let me?"
She shared a glance with Law, then stepped back. For a second, he thought she would decline. Then she opened the door wider. "Come in."
Law eased away, allowing Dominic to enter the room. He stared at the woman he wanted more than his next breath.
"Call me 'Sir,' Kinley." With gnawing hunger and hope, he reached for her hand, ready to start her lesson and see where their future led.
Chapter Ten
Kinley took Dominic's hand, her heart thumping in her chest. "Sir?"
"It's a quirk of mine, pet." He stood over her, looking down into her eyes as he tangled his fingers in her hair. "You're so fucking soft."
Law moved in behind her, his chest brushing her back. The thick line of his erection pressed against her backside. "I'm glad you're here, man. You're better with the whole talking thing than I am. I was struggling with how to explain what we want."
