Interest brightened Gabi’s face "Nice to ot a headshake--no talking--that lower

Marcus smothered a chuckle and informed Cullen, "From the expression on your sub’s face, she is still not adequately trained"

"Apparently not" Cullen’s lips twitched before he frowned darkly at Andrea

"I’ainst hi, sweet voice, "I love you"

Cullen snorted "Nice try, pet I should still beat you"

Her whispered "You just did, cabrón" carried as clearly as Cullen’s responding bark of laughter

The wistful expression on Gabi’s face squeezed Marcus’s heart She wanted what Andrea had with Cullen; he could see her longing So why did she behave in a way so as to ensure she’d never have such a relationship?

"Although Andrea didn’t live on the streets like you," Marcus told Gabi, "she grew up in the slurief from the other trainees"

"But the trainees are nice…" Gabi said, but he heard unhappiness in her voice Were they giving her trouble?

After getting Cullen’s permission to speak, Andrea said, "Only one sub was obnoxious, and she not only hated eous man in the place was interested in me"

"I wasn’t that interested in you, Darlin’," Marcus protested, earning a snicker froorgeous man"

"Which trainee?" Gabi asked

"She isn’t here anymore" Andrea's mouth thinned "She planted ht I’d stolen frorilled me like a criminal and threw uilty over the way they’d treated her

Shocked, Gabi twisted to stare up at the trainer "You were rude?" She’d thought Mr Southern Lawyer always acted like a gentleman

Andrea snorted "Dan was rude; Master Marcus just backed hi to kill theuilty And they were so furious thinking I’d betrayed Cullen’s trust, they weren’t seeing clearly They , Gabi widened her eyes at Marcus "You mean you’re not God? Nooo, say it isn’t so!"

He leaned forward, cupped her breasts in his powerful hands, and whispered in a slol, "While you are here, Li’ll sub, I aod"

The sound of his deep voice, the feel of his palrazed over her nipples, turned her insides liquid and od couldn’t turn her on as quickly She closed her eyes for a second, just to savor being close to hiaet in trouble at least?"

Andrea laughed "After the guys finished questioning Vanessa, they left her to Z By the ti so hard he had to call her a taxi Then he got her banned from every club--well, pretty much in Florida I had no idea hoell-known he is

"Anyway, Master Z apologized to ized too, in front of everyone, even though they’d already talked to " She frowned at Marcus "You guys al can, aren’t you, love?" Cullen stroked her cheek gently with his huge hand

"You wish," Andrea growled and nipped at his fingers She wrinkled her nose at Marcus "It hen you two gave ift certificate to the best fetish-wear place in Taet didn’t go far, and I always looked like a poor relation in here, so I had a great ti new clothes I still haven’t spent it all"

"I’ve enjoyed the benefits," Cullen ru his hand across the low bodice of Andrea’s skintight vinyl dress "So why don’t you let me admire this new dress from the rear I’d enjoy a beer"

"Yes, Sir" Andrea slid off his lap
