Starting Over

16.

Once we are settled at a table Hunter is busy checking up on employees and socialising with everyone to ensure they are all enjoying themselves and getting their opinions on his new club. I can't help but notice how relaxed and confident he is mixing with this amount of people some of which he doesn't even know. I frown each time he greets a girl with a hug however my stomach drops as this girl doesn't move back once they pull from the hug she keeps her hands rested on his arms as they laugh. Here I go again mrs paranoid. I excuse myself to the bathroom to calm down. After I do my business I fix up my makeup in the mirror. I see the blonde haired goddess that was talking to Hunter.

"Hey you're the girl that came with Hunter tonight aren't you"

She says spraying perfume on herself I give a polite nod

"Hi I'm Kelsey. You're a lucky girl for him to be showing you off like that however make sure all his other girls don't get you alone. They won't be as kind as me"

"His other girls?"

I ask trying to be confident hiding the fact I feel my anxiety taking over my whole body.

"Yeah you know ? His OTHER girls.... subs"

She says whispers the last part

"Oh I'm not his sub"

I say she looks so shocked then let's out a laugh

"Yeah right that's all Hunter ever has, he will promise you the world but the truth is he only wants a submissive to fuck"

I look at her in disbelief. Hunter can be harsh and cold but he's not when he's with me. Maybe we just know different hunters

"Listen babe I'm just telling you to watch your back... anyway enjoy the rest of your night."

And with that she walks out the door I stand trying to compose myself for a minute. Was Hunter lying ? He wouldn't have fought for me that much if he had other subs would he? One of his rules is that I belong to him and he belongs to me so surely not? I shake my head and wander back out to the busy reception.

"Hello baby you having a good time"

Hunter whispers in my ear as he catches me walking past the bar he wraps his arms around me turning me to face him.
I give him a slight nod with a weak smile which causing him to narrow his eyes at me

"What's wrong"

He asks to which I repeat my action this time shaking my head

"Nothing. I would like to go home soon though with or without you"

I tell him which shocks him as his face drops

"Baby what is it"

"I'm just tired"

I lie. Well I suppose it's not a full lie as I am tired it's now half 3 in the morning I'm usually sound asleep by now. Hunter checks his watch

"Okay I'll say my goodbyes and come get you"

He says I quickly pull away and walk back to the table insisting that I'm fine each time one of the group asks however they aren't stupid they know somethings wrong.

Stupid Kelsey again. what if she's right ? Is she one of his subs ? How does she know about the others. My thoughts consume me until I'm brought back into the room with hunters hand on my shoulder

"Ready ?"

He asks we say our goodbyes to the group who are partying on its clear Bria and Cole are making the most of being child free.

I make my way to the car walking in front of Hunter who is trying to get me to slow down I open the door and slide in placing my coat over me to keep me warm but also as a security comfort.

"Right what the hell is wrong with you"

Hunter snaps I shake my head

"Just let me think for a while"

I snap back

"Well doesn't it have something to do with me so tell me and i can answer you"

I sigh

"Why was Kelsey there"

His face drops I turn to face him suddenly feeling the anger rise inside me

"She's Billy's cousin. She comes to all openings and parties."

"How many subs have you had?"

I question to see if he gives the same answer as before

"6...Arabella you know all this"

He says becoming frustrated

"When was your last one?"

"My last one was called Katie we ended our contract 4 months ago she found someone else"

"And the one before that "

I question he looks at me like I'm crazy

"Kayleigh we ended the beginning of last year she was moving away"

"You sure do have a think for the K names"

I snap turning away from him I wanted to scream throw things anything I didn't know how to handle these emotions.
