Brie’s Denver Desires (Submissive in Love, #2) Read Online Free Page B

staff?”
    Master Anderson threw back his head and laughed. “God, I love running this Academy!”
    “If you weren’t Headmaster, I would lock you in the stockades,” Ms. Clark grumbled, but it was easy to tell she found the prank amusing. She turned her attention back to Brie and Lea. “It appears at least one person is happy to see you, Miss Bennett.”
    “Yes, it does.” Brie gave Lea an extra-hard squeeze and smiled at Ms. Clark, shocked she’d gotten off so easily with the trainer. Would she pay later?
    Baron stood from the table and walked over to the group. “It is good to see you again, kitten.”
    Brie let go of Lea and gave him a hug, resting her head against his broad chest. There’d always been something comforting about the dark Dom—he was her safe place—and she inhaled deeply, taking in his spicy scent.
    “How is Sir Davis?”
    She broke the embrace and smiled up at him. “He is doing well. Finishing up some business in Japan then joining me here.”
    “And Tono Nosaka?”
    Brie kept it positive, knowing it was what Tono wanted— needed —from her. “He’s deeply saddened by the loss of his father, but Tono is determined to care for his mother and make the best of a difficult situation.”
    “That is good to hear,” he replied in his low, soothing voice. “Tono Nosaka is someone I admire.”
    “Me too!” Brie grinned and hugged him again. “It’s just so good to see you again. I’ve missed you, Baron.”
    His thick lips curled up in a sexy smirk. “So you miss the old Baron, do you?”
    “Of course! Not only did you help me through the first night at the Center, but you saved me from that creep at the Kinky Goat. You hold a special place in my heart, Baron. You always will.” Old habits die hard and she almost went up on her tiptoes to kiss those delicious lips. However, Brie fought the urge, concentrating instead on the reassuring weight of the collar around her neck.
    “How long are you here, Brie?” Lea asked, spinning her around to face her.
    Oh, how Brie had missed Lea’s infectious enthusiasm. “Only a week, I think. Sir is a busy man and I don’t think he’ll have time to visit for long.”
    Master Anderson put his hand on her shoulder, his confident hold on her making Brie feel warm and tingling all over. “We’ll take however much time we’re given. Right now, however, Ms. Clark, Baron and I have some serious culling to do of the submissive entrants. Why don’t you and Lea spend some time catching up while we make our determinations?”
    “How many videos today?” Baron asked.
    Master Anderson smiled. “Only seven, but we can only choose two more for this coming session.”
    Lea happily led her out of the conference room, but Brie glanced back and shivered involuntarily. To think that all the trainers had evaluated her own entrance video was a sobering thought. It was a good thing she’d only imagined Sir watching it when she filmed her application, or she would have lost her nerve. She looked briefly at Ms. Clark. What had the Domme thought when she’d viewed it? Had there been division among the trainers even then about her being part of the program? Brie wondered if it was a blessing that she was ignorant of the inner workings of a training center. Wise or not, she found herself hungry to know more.
    “Have you ever watched an entrance video, Lea?”
    “Oh no—they’re very strict about that. Only the trainers see them, then they’re erased once the students have been chosen. They take the applicants’ privacy very seriously.”
    “That’s good to know.” As Lea led her down the hall to the Submissive Lounge, Brie asked a question that had been needling her. “Do they ever talk about what happens in those videos?”
    “No, silly, I told you—they’re very protective of the entries. It’s serious business, girlfriend. Each applicant is treated with the same respect they give their students.” She bumped Brie on the hip. “Why? Was there
