heart. The other woman had startled her.
    “That sounds like a great idea. Let’s go. I just got finished getting a mani-pedi and don’t feel like going back home yet.”
    Kelly followed Anna back down the street and across to the diner. It was right at one so most of the lunch crowd had finished and left by then. They took a booth near the front of the building and ordered their drinks.
    “Did you buy a swim suit?” Anna’s question confused her at first. Then she remembered the party.
    “No. I doubt I would need one anytime soon with fall approaching. I’ll look at getting one next year.”
    “If you got one now, you could come over to Steve’s and swim with me when I go. It’s no fun sitting out by the pool alone or with just them.” Anna’s frown tugged at her heart.
    “I’ll have to see if I can find anything left in my size that I like.” She didn’t have the heart to tell her she really couldn’t afford to buy one yet.
    “So what’s going on with you and the Callahans? They really seemed interested in you at the party.”
    Kelly inwardly groaned. She really didn’t want to talk about them. “Nothing.”
    “They kissed you like you were the last woman on earth, Kelly. Don’t try and say it’s nothing. I saw you when I walked outside to get in my car. Have you heard from them since then?”
    “No, and I don’t think I will. I’m not interested in a relationship right now.”
    “I don’t understand. They are two of the best men here and would treat you great. Are you worried about their being Doms?”
    Kelly felt her mouth drop open but was spared from having to answer because the waitress returned with their drinks and to take their lunch order. She mulled over how to answer Anna’s question without being rude. She honestly liked the other girl, and she was Steve’s sister.
    “Anna, I’m really not looking to date anyone right now. Even if I were to start, I wouldn’t want to date anyone who is into the lifestyle.”
    “Why not? I mean you are a submissive, right? Steve seems to think you are.”
    Kelly cringed inside. She hadn’t said anything to her boss about her preferences, but the fact that he was a Dom meant that he would have been able to pick up on her submissive tendencies even though she was trying to overcome them. He was well aware that she wasn’t looking to date anyone by the number of men she had turned down over the last few months.
    “I used to be a submissive, but I don’t want that kind of life anymore. I didn’t like it. I just want to be me now. Do you understand?”
    Anna bit her lower lip and nodded, but Kelly could tell the other woman didn’t really. If she was happy with her life, then she wouldn’t understand someone else’s need to get out of it. She didn’t have a clue how to explain it to her either. She had no intentions of sharing her history. It was still too fresh in her mind.
    Anna seemed to realize she wasn’t going to discuss it any further because she changed the subject and they talked about the new styles in the stores. She was glad she had just finished shopping so she actually could talk about it. It occurred to her that she really didn’t have much experience with making small talk. Her Master had kept he fairly secluded, so she hadn’t gotten to talk much with other submissives unless they were at the club. Then most of the conversations had centered on club gossip or what their Masters were doing.
    The waitress returned with their meals, and conversation slowed down as they ate. Anna talked about some of the other women she knew around town and offered to introduce her to some of them.
    “Have you been to Desire yet? It’s the spa where I go.” Anna’s obvious excitement about the place filled her voice. Even her eyes lit up.
    “Um, no. I’ve never heard of it.”
    “Oh, you have to schedule a session on your next day off. They treat you like a princess, and you feel so good when you get finished.”
    “I’m not much on
