章 208: Chapter 208: Guardians, Part 13

Richard

As James leaves, Michael hovers, clicking his tongue….

…. Deciding whether to follow?

…. Not a good idea….

…. You don’t interfere between a sub and her Dom….

He seems to reach the same conclusion. He pulls at his chin with thumb and forefinger, then turns to me. “Richard.…” His tone is slow, cautious….

“What?”

“I know you think….” Still, he hesitates…

“Yes? Come on. Out with it.” I sit back in my seat, hands behind my head, giving him my attention. “If it’s something awkward, it’s better dealt with.”

“I think that you and James both think of Charlotte as a sub. Intelligent and pretty, but just a sub….”

Is that what I think?

…. Perhaps….

“…. and she’s not. There’s a lot more to her than that. If she can’t get what she wants by.… legitimate means, she’s perfectly capable of taking matters into her own hands.”

She’s intelligent….

…. resourceful….

…. a survivor….

Am I discounting her, because she bends the knee to James…?
