If Only They Knew (Book 1.5) (AU Series) - INTERSEX

Chapter Thirty-Two

Valiana

As far as Ray, Liv, and Mini know, I was called away by Deleena. However, that's not the case. While we were hanging out, I received a message from Jeffery asking me to come to Deleena's house. My first thought is something was wrong with De, so here wandering into the mansion, unsure as to why I was actually called. 

Jeffrey bows, "Ms. Val."

"What's up?" I kick off my shoes and neatly stack them next to the entrance.

"I tried calling Madam Jain, but she hasn't answered or returned any of my calls."

I casually roll up my sleeves. "She's in a meeting, Jef." I'm still confused as to why I had been called from a day out with my family. Especially when I haven't hung out with Malia for so long, she probably thinks I bailed on her. She still doesn't know who I'm dating. I think it might be past time to actually tell her, though.

"Okay, well..." Jeffery stumbled over his words, scratching his beard. "One of Mistresses' subs showed up uninvited."

I whirl around, my eyes narrowing in bewilderment. "How did she get in? Aren't there guards at the gate monitoring everyone's comings and goings?" I'm well aware that I can't dictate who enters or leaves her home, yet an undeniable sense of possessiveness stirs within me.

"Yes, ma'am, we do... it was just a slip up with a new guard in training. She talked her way in. I was not aware until I went to the den to clean, and she was..." The older man rapidly rattles off an explanation for the sub's presence in the building, but I had caught the gist. I'm not mad at Jeffery. More so disturbed that an unknown guest was here, and Deleena was nowhere around to deal with it. Although my rational mind advises me not to confront the issue, the devil inside me yearns to meet a woman my girlfriend has slept with.

"It's fine, Jeffery. I'll handle it from here."

"Yes, Ms. Val," he replies, bowing before walking away from me. I've been around long enough for him to be aware of my short temper, not to mention the numerous messes and damage repairs he's had to deal with. He seemed apprehensive about calling me, but he must have realized that it would be even worse if I showed up at Deleena's only to be confronted by another woman.

Still dressed in my pressed khaki slacks and white button-down from lunch—the lunch I was interrupted from—I feel annoyed as I remember canceling on Mini yet again. As I walk down the hallway, my frustration grows, thinking about one of her subs being here. I unbutton my shirt slightly, exposing my chest, and remove my belt from my jeans as I approach the door.

"Mistr... who are you?" We're both taken aback when we see each other, but I maintain a neutral expression. I recognize her as the one who kissed my girlfriend months ago. Deleena never mentioned her name, but her face is etched in my memory. "Excuse me, I..."

"Be quiet," I cut her off abruptly, not interested in anything she has to say. She wormed her way into this house for one reason, and that reason makes my blood boil.

Deleena had claimed she called them off, so either she lied to me, or this woman has no respect for boundaries. As she stands there in a black fishnet bodysuit, I circle around her. Her legs are long, though she's not as tall as I am. Her hips are wide, and her breasts seem to be at least a D-cup.

I remain in the shadow casted by a shiny new toy on the floor. I smirk, knowing my thoughts shouldn't wander there. Yet the innocent Valiana vanished the moment I embarked on this journey with Deleena. Now, the sight of this new woman has reawakened the beast inside me. She's in search of a dom—so why not provide her with one? "What's your name, sub?"
