“Sounds more like Jäger than a tumor. I think you’ll live.”

“Thank God. I have a date tonight.”

“With whom? That big blond guy again?”

Simone shook her head.

“With the most beautiful Dominatrix in the entire Underground. I hope she’ll have me.”

Nora gave the girl the side-eye.

“Most beautiful Dominatrix in the Underground? Fuck that bitch, you’re spending the night with me.”

Simone laughed as Nora put her finger in Simone’s house collar and dragged her off the bar stool.

“Come on, Kool-Aid. Let’s go play a game of hide the dildo.”

“I love that game. No matter who wins, I always win,” Simone said.

Nora led her toward the elevator at the edge of the bar. They’d play a little in the pit tonight to get the girl warmed up before Nora dragged her back to the dungeon and did wonderful terrible things to her all night long.

The elevator rose and Søren stepped out and into the bar.

“Excuse us, sir,” Nora said. “We’ll be needing that elevator.”

“Where are you going with Simone?” He stared down at Nora who only smiled up at him.

“Where am I going? Third base, for starters.”

“She and I did not get to finish our evening together. We were interrupted.” Søren looked down at Nora coldly with a dark gleam in his eyes. She had to fight off a smile. So he’d forgiven her for their little fight on the porch then? Good. They couldn’t play-fight like this when they were actually mad at each other.

“Sorry. Not my fault.” Nora started to brush past him.

“Eleanor...”

“Mistress Nora, we did get interrupted,” Simone said rather sheepishly.

“Thank you, dear,” Søren said and held out his hand to Simone. Simone looked imploringly at Nora.

“You know the rules, Blondie. Call Kingsley,” Nora said to Søren. Simone leaned into Nora and gave her a kiss on the cheek. “Make an appointment.”

They two women boarded the elevator and headed down.

“Thank you, Mistress. I’ve been dying to play with you for weeks. You’re so brave. He looked grumpy.”

“Søren doesn’t scare me.”

“You’re my knight in shining armor, Mistress.” Simone gave a playfully melodramatic sigh and laid her head on Nora’s shoulder.

“I knew a knight once,” Nora said as the elevator hit the floor and they stepped out into the darkness. “I’ve got nothing on him.”
