Met Her Match
(A Hawkeye Story)
Sierra Cartwright
Chapter One
Torin Carter snarled and pushed his way through the crowd.
Three weeks ago he'd been assigned a partner he didn't want: Mira Araceli.
Despite the fact he didn't want to be teamed with anyone, especially a female, Torin believed in rules, and he was inflexible in his adherence to them.
If Hawkeye, in his infinite wisdom, had decided Torin and the so-sexy-he-was-going-to combust Mira were stuck together, they were stuck together. And that meant he had to keep his legendary libido in check. He'd been doing okay, that was until Mira had shed her clothes and exposed her pretty little ass and freshly shaved pussy to him two nights ago.
He curled his right hand into a fist when he finally found her.
His partner was strapped over a spanking bench, her long, Victorian-style gown and a stupid number of layers of ruffled lace were tossed over her waist. Not only were her delectable, round butt cheeks completely exposed, but she was being flogged by Blake Miller. Thank God she had on a very modern thong; otherwise he would have had no control of his fraying temper.
Torin had nothing personal against the puny man—well, besides the fact he was wielding a leather flogger that was turning Mira's butt pink.
He'd only seen Mira's naked rear once. Because her body aroused him so much, it had taken him less than thirty seconds to jack off after he'd tossed her out of his bedroom.
Blake caught her full on with the flogger, and her hips swayed from side to side. Little vixen obviously loved getting spanked.
His momentary relief at actually finding her faded and became a torch of anger directed as much at Blake as at her.
Right now Torin Carter was a dangerous man.
“Only five more, pet,” Blake said. He drew back his arm again and soundly smacked Mira with the leather straps.
Mira rose up as much as the restraints allowed, and arched her back.
Even from a few feet away, Torin had heard the difference in the intensity of the stroke. Blake was taking Mira to more extreme pain levels. From her reaction, the blow had clearly stung as it was meant to.
Fury overcame reason.
Through the years, he'd played with dozens of women, most of them at this club. He'd enjoyed showing up and having a new woman kneel at his feet each time. But this was different. This was Mira.
Despite Dark Haven's rules, despite the fact his partner was obviously a willing participant, Torin acted.
He grabbed the smaller man's wrist. If Torin exerted a bit more downward pressure, the man would be on his knees. Still more and the bones in Miller's wrist would snap. Part of Torin wished the other man would give him the excuse. “Playtime's over, Blake.”
Mira obviously recognized the sound of his voice, and she froze, becoming silent and still. Smartest thing she'd done today. Today? Make that in the past three weeks.
Torin glanced at the gathering crowd. There were plenty of doms and subs captivated by the scene he was creating. Waiters and waitresses continued on their rounds, too highly trained to stop and gawk. A dungeon monitor stopped nearby, his arms folded across his chest.
Everyone but Torin was dressed for the evening's Charles Dickens theme. In his fury, he'd stormed past Destiny at the door. Bad-mannered, ill-tempered bastard that he was, he'd ignored the club's theme night and Destiny's protests that he couldn't come inside. He'd cut the receptionist, in her revealing and attractive purple formal wear, a quick don't-fuck-with-me smile. She'd set her mouth in a frown that showed off her lip piercing perfectly.
Now, deep inside the caverns of Dark Haven, he realized he looked completely out of place. Instead of a fancy frock coat, he was wearing jeans, uncivilized boots, and a brown leather bomber jacket. Not that he cared.
His focus was totally on the immobile woman strapped to the spanking bench. “Move along, boys and girls,” he said to the doms and the couple of dommes who were still staring.
“Trouble?”
Xavier, legendary owner of San Francisco's Dark Haven dungeon, calmly walked over; the crowd parted to let him through.
“Carter interrupted my scene.” Blake all but sputtered the words as he struggled to pull away.
After flicking a nonexistent speck of dirt from his elegant black frock coat, Xavier studied Torin. “By 'Carter,' you mean Master Torin?” Xavier asked, maintaining decorum. Despite the tension, no matter what kind of tension, Xavier never raised his voice. Trouble in the club was handled professionally, defused by the power of the man's mystery and magnetism.
Torin struggled to maintain his own composure. He was accustomed to being in charge, alpha even in a pack of alphas. But here, Xavier was law. Torin met the more controlled man's eyes.
Blake—Torin wasn't one to extend the courtesy of addressing the man as Master Blake, no matter what Xavier insisted—had to tip back his head to look at them both.
“The woman Blake's beating—”
“Sub,” Blake interrupted. “At Dark Haven, she's a sub.”
“The
woman
,” Torin corrected, tightening his grip inexorably, “is my partner. As such, she is under my care and protection.” More than anyone, Xavier would understand what that meant.
“Fine job you're doing of taking care of her,” Blake said.
Torin exerted a bit more pressure. The other man paled.
“No one,
no one
, but me touches her,” Torin said.
Mira struggled against her bonds and made tiny mewing sounds. Since she wasn't shooting off her mouth, she was obviously gagged. At least that was one smart thing Blake had done. Gagging the unruly Ms. Araceli was a supremely good idea. Torin should have done it weeks ago.
With his left hand, Torin flipped the material of her dress back down, covering her ass. Even though she was wearing a scrap for panties, he could tell she was dripping with arousal. Dear God, he couldn't wait to get her alone.
“Maybe we should ask the sub what she wants,” Blake said.
“Excellent idea,” Xavier said.
Torin disagreed. Asking her anything was a bad idea. God only knew what she'd say when that gag came out of her mouth.
He hoped, for both their sakes, that she was as intelligent as he believed. If not, trouble was already on slow boil.
Xavier waved over the young blond dungeon monitor.
With a nod to acknowledge the order, the man moved toward Mira.
Torin struggled against the instinctive caveman act. He wanted to be the one to detach her from the bondage. He wanted to toss her over his shoulder, drag her back to the safety and seclusion of the Hawkeye house where they were training together then he would soundly beat her himself.
She'd been asking for it since they'd become partners.
Torin realized it was partially his fault she was here in the first place. But damn it, he'd had no idea how serious she was about getting her desires met.
Having no choice at this point but to follow Dark Haven's protocol, he watched as the dungeon monitor systematically unhooked the clips that held her firmly against the leather spanking bench.
