lose, Dawson. I actually quite like a head case, as you’ll come to see. And the cancer question?”
    “You’re not a particularly vain woman. You’re allowing yourself to age naturally. You’re quite lovely and soft. The breasts are out of place. They’re nice by the way. Quite well done.”
    Her cheeks flushed. “Uhm, I think I should say thanks. Is your brother around?”
    Naturally. Everyone would rather deal with Ben. Ben didn’t comment on a stranger’s breasts. “He’ll be here late tonight. I told the front desk to expect him after midnight.”
    She sighed and crossed her arms over that well-done chest of hers. “Julian said you’re both very well trained.”
    There was only one thing she could be talking about. “Are you in need of a scene partner?”
    Was he wrong about the husband?
    She flushed slightly. “No, I’m not, but I have a friend who is. I wouldn’t ask, but it’s kind of important. Uhm, you’re strictly working for Julian on this case, right?”
    “I rarely work for outside clients. Occasionally I’ll take a case if it interests me.”
    “Let’s say you found something against Natalie in this case.”
    Ah. Now he understood. “I would feel absolutely no obligation to law enforcement. I would submit my findings to Julian, but no one else. I took a look at the guy. He was dirty. I don’t have proof, but my instincts aren’t usually wrong about assholes. Even dead he gave off a vibe. So, if I find out Ms. Buchanan killed him and had good reasons, I likely would bury the evidence so deep no one could convict her.”
    She took a long breath. “Good. Look, Nat didn’t kill him. She told me what happened and I believe her. But she’s found this whole episode a bit unsettling. She needs some help.”
    Revelation dawned. “And she’s a sub.”
    She needed to scene. She needed to relax.
    Gaby nodded. “My husband is with her. We both agree that it might be easier on her if she scenes with someone who doesn’t work here. Do you know her background?”
    Quite well. “She hasn’t taken a Dom since the incident?”
    The incident had been months of hell. He knew damn well he was understating it.
    “No. This is the first time she’s wanted to try.”
    “And she doesn’t want to try with someone she knows.” He could understand that. If it all went to hell, she didn’t want to look at her coworker every day.
    “I don’t trust the visiting Doms. I don’t know them except by reputation,” Gaby replied. “Julian trusts you and your brother. She needs this. Can you help her and still work the case? I would honestly tell her to wait for someone who won’t be involved, but I’m afraid she’ll back out. This is a huge step for her.”
    She was being brave. He could respect that. He looked across the dungeon. “Is that her? With the pink hair?”
    He would bet on it. She was the only woman in the dungeon with a chip on her shoulder that he could probably see from space. She stood talking to a dark-haired man, her shoulders somewhere around her ears. He could feel her anxiety from here. Pink hair. Like cotton candy.
    Yeah, that wasn’t boring.
    “Yes. That’s Nat. She doesn’t want to know your name, by the way. She just looked over and said you would do. I would be standing here telling you to get lost if Julian hadn’t said you were okay.”
    Because Nat meant something to her. And she hadn’t come looking for him. “But you wanted Ben.”
    She shrugged. “Julian thought Ben would be gentler.”
    Chase felt a little like growling, but it would just reinforce the idea that Ben was the nice one. Fuck . Ben was the nice one, but sweetness over there needed a little tart to go with her sugar. “Sometimes gentle isn’t the way to go. I’ll take care of her. Your husband can watch. We’ll keep it public. Sex?”
    Gaby shrugged. “Up to her, but I wouldn’t bet on it. Don’t get me wrong. I would cheer if she took a lover.”
    Because little Natalie hadn’t had a lover
