Running to Love

He could tell she debated answering and without really considering it,

fixed her with a Dom look. She blinked and looked at the floor. Shit.

Submissive. "I came to find you, Dave, because I love you and I missed

you." Her explanation was barely audible but loud enough for him to hear.

It was his turn to blink. What the fuck was he supposed to say to that?

Her words hung between them and then crumbled to the floor when he

said nothing in return. Fiona's eyes brimmed with tears, and her mouth

trembled. She looked around the room wildly to where Jackie watched in

apparent fury and Ashley looked resigned. He could still redeem this. He

could reach for Fiona, dominate her with his personality and make

amends, but he was too afraid. Dr. Massey's raised eyebrow popped into

his head, and he shook it again. Fiona's hurt blue eyes focused on the

motion, shifting to a troubled gray.
