"Kitten, what are you doing?" Dax hollered."I just got out of the shower." The sound of a thousand bulls trampling up the stairs startled me until I realized Dax was the stampede, and it had just dawned on him I was nude and wet. I turned toward the noise just as he came barreling through into the bathroom. I gazed up at his tall frame, finding his eyes. They were fierce, and he was looking to play. Our time together was limited with the start of Healing Wings. He didn't say anything, just assessed my face. Slowly, I released the towel wrapped around my chest. As it fell to the floor, I followed, tucking first my right foot under me as I reached my knee, then my left. When my butt hit my feet, I cast my glance downward. Placing my palms on my thighs, I waited in a pose that drove him wild.His bare feet peeked out from under his jeans-his toes were cute. I fought the urge to reach out to touch his leg, to run my hand up his pants, to caress him. Instead, I waited. The time drag

Working with Rachel lost its appeal after the second building we stepped foot in. This was about as much fun as a poke in the eye with a sharp stick. My patience was wearing thin as I neared my breaking point. "Rachel, none of this is what I had in mind. I don't want to be in a building where other people run businesses. I want to be secluded where our organization is the only tenant. Our patients need anonymity. They can't feel exposed as they walk in. I don't want people to know why they're here just because of the floor they choose on the elevator. Downtown Greenville doesn't offer that in a high rise.""Look, Cammy, these are places offering discounted lease rates to non-profits. I think as a courtesy, you owe it to them to look at the space. Quit being a whiney bitch and suck it up. Welcome to the reality of starting a business and the bullshit details involved in that process.""She's right, Cam. You may see something that really wows you for the price." It didn't happen o

The board approved the lease for the space downtown, which sent me into a flurry of activity where everything moved at the speed of light. While I was busy setting up a help hotline and securing volunteers to man it twenty-four hours a day, my team was in search of donations and benefactors, and Dr. Wright was in the throes of interviews. The number of candidates had grown exponentially since it had become a paid position instead of volunteer. My phone rang, and Dax grabbed it off the counter. "Hello?" he answered with it on speaker."Hey, Dax, it's Shelly. I've narrowed the applicant pool down to three general practitioners and two psychiatrists. Can you get with Cam and find out when the board wants to interview?""Yeah, I'll talk to her and have her send out an email to find out what date works best for everyone. Do you want to do group interviews?""I think that would be best and would require the fewest number of meetings for the candidates. They're all currently working
The Siren Song Series Chapter 29
We agreed collectively we would rather dedicate an entire Saturday to interviews than stretch it out over several days. This would make for a really long day, but hopefully, at the end of it, we would choose our first two employees and have a date set to open. We settled into our newly established boardroom in an upstairs office, and Shelly introduced us to each candidate. The discussion flowed easily between the group and each prospect. None of our interactions seemed like interviews-just great conversations with new friends. The most important questions I posed to each candidate related to their interest in working with Healing Wings-their motivation and their commitment to this facility. No matter whom we chose, Shelly had picked perfect physicians. There was little time for us to discuss the previous candidate before the next came in. I didn't know who each board member's pick was for the general practitioner position, but the deal was sealed with the psychiatrist when I pose

My opportunity never presented itself. I think Piper knew I planned to interrogate her, so she came down with a migraine and sent Moby by himself. As much as I loved him, I couldn't do it. I couldn't bring myself to grill him for answers, and no matter how many times I gave Dax the look to get him to ask, he just smirked and shook his head. I was like a kid waiting on Christmas morning for the go-ahead to open presents-I couldn't sit still and had to restrain myself from interrogating Moby. I figured the best thing I could do was remove the temptation, but since I couldn't ask Moby to leave, I kissed Dax on the cheek, hugged his brother goodnight, and set off to take a bath.Piper hadn't made an appearance today at the center, and when I texted to check on her, she legitimately had a migraine and had been in bed since late yesterday afternoon. I told her I wasn't going to push the issue now, but when she was feeling better, I needed the lowdown on Moby. She assured me she'd give me i
The Siren Song Series Chapter 31
I had preconceived notions about what Healing Wings would be once we opened the doors; it was nothing like the reality of what hit. I expected people to slowly drift in and have plenty of time to work with each person and cultivate our programs. I never anticipated the barrage of calls from physicians and psychiatrists all over the county the day we opened trying to place patients. The phones rang off the hook, and we all answered calls trying to work in appointments, but sadly, we still had people on a wait list. It appalled me that this need existed and no one knew. This should've been something our community met with arms wide open, but the people we saw and talked to daily were hurt and scared. They were afraid to tell anyone their secrets, and many had lived with the shame and guilt they felt for years. We offered anonymity; we didn't request social security numbers, and giving us contact information was optional. We issued all patients an identification number for our staff to

"Cameron, wake up!" His voice had that commanding tone, but I couldn't quite reach it. The nightmare that trapped me wouldn't let me escape. He shook my shoulders, but I couldn't retreat from the hell that trapped me.Then there was light-blinding in its brightness. "Cameron." Silence. "Cameron." I squinted to evade the glare seeping in through the cracks between my lids. As I adjusted to the room, chills took over, causing me to shiver before it dawned on me that I was covered in sweat. My clothes stuck to every inch of my body they touched, and my hair matted to the sides of my face. I searched frantically until I found his face and then his eyes to ground me. The erratic beat of my heart slowed with each moment that passed, staring into those sage-green orbs searching my face. When his hand touched my cheek, I leaned into it and scowled. "Nightmare," I confirmed."You haven't had one in a long time, but, sweetheart, this was by far the worst. I've been trying to w
The Siren Song Series Chapter 33
We arrived safely home roughly fifteen minutes later. Making our way to the front door, he called over his shoulder, "Cameron, go upstairs, take off your clothes, and wait for me on the bed facing the door.""K," I called back."Try again, kitten." His stern voice startled me just before it dawned on me-he didn't just want me waiting on the bed, he wanted me to submit on the bed. "Yes, Sir," I corrected myself. While Dax and I knew each other intimately, he was very reserved in our playtime. Many of our physical connections were still rather vanilla in nature and had been non-existent since the nightmares returned. He held me all night, but we'd both been so tired there was no hanky-panky. I loved when he gave me the opportunity to serve him this way. Even if he thought I wasn't ready for a full-blown Dom/sub relationship, I wanted him to know I would work to get there as long as he worked with me. I wanted it to happen faster than he did, but it was important that I embraced wh
