"Who wants to take their table?" Caliope asked, "How about Julie? She's the sweetest one. You're like a mini Delilah!"

"Besides, Jason's eyes are going to pop out of his head if he keeps ogling you so much. You've already introduced yourself as a Rivers. Those gents are smart," Bonnie said.

"I saw it the minute I looked at her!" Jason sighed,"She's a young Delilah. Julie Rivers..."

Bryce rolled his eyes, "Yeah, she's hot now let's order and pretend like we're here as tourists."

Julie slowly made her way over to their table. In many ways, she resembled her aunt and not just in looks, but her mannerisms as well.

"Hey, again..." Julie waved to Jason, smiling broadly,"Can I get ya started with some drinks and appetizers?"

Jason smirked,"If you're the appetizer, I'm willing to pay whatever you're asking."

A kick underneath the table from Bryce elicited a low groan from Jason, but he continued.

"Three malts and some nachos," Jason said,"Two chocolates, one strawberry."

"Oh, strawberry is my favorite!" Julie wrote down the order.

Jason nodded, "Well, that one's for me. Wanna share?"

Julie blushed, "No, maybe next time?"

Jason smiled, "Hell yeah... I'll hold you to that, Julie."

Julie scurried off to put in the order while Bryce and Cooper eyed their brother.

"Something tells me we're not the only ones on a mission," Cooper said quietly, as he caught sight of Caliope ringing in another guest

"That's where the gambling shit happens," Jason motioned to a door on the opposite side of the bar,"Brett's in there."

Bryce smiled,"Word from Les is that he stays well passed midnight. We don't have that long so we'll chow, take a look, ride by his house, and get the hell outta here before Dad leaves in the morning."

"That's it," Jason agreed,"No fights, no jail.."

Bryce shrugged,"Not tonight anyway."

"Aww, that's too bad," Bonnie slid into the booth behind them,"I've got bail money if ya need it."

Bryce turned around and scowled,"Sweetheart, do you know something we don't?"

Caliope sauntered over, acting as if she was checking in on the guests.

"Les contacted us when he was here the last time," she said, as Julie brought out the nachos and malts,"It helps that this one is Delilah's niece."

Julie's eyes widened, but Bonnie waved away her panic.

"They know we know," Bonnie reached into the napkin bin and began folding up the silverware,"We're all interested in seeing Brett get his comeuppance, but he's got friends. They're here tonight, not like the night he got his knees.. capped."

"Great..." Bryce chuckled,"We're like a gang then. Why?"

Julie placed extra napkins beside Jason and sighed.

"I saw what he did to my aunt, but he's not the only one you need to watch. Miranda and her family are crazy. They seem to have more of a vendetta against Aunt D than Brett. Brett doesn't hate her, he never has."

"Yeah, we've scoped out Miranda's job and all that, but you think she's capable of something?"

Julie shuddered,"Things have been weird since the engagement announcement and I don't know why. If you want to catch him, eat up and head down. He's already on a roll."

"Can you point out his friends to us?"

"That group of guys who came in before I brought your order. Those are Brett's allies."

"Dude's gotta bring backup even though he cheats?" Jason frowned,"What a winner."

"I can come down with you," Caliope said,"It makes better sense seeing as how my dad owns the joint."

"You look familiar.." Cooper narrowed his eyes,"Millie's daughter?"

"In the flesh! Bonnie's Bridget's spawn," Caliope smiled,"We know all about the Dixon boys."

"So, when I'm gone, I've got the boys bringing you some items and I'd like you to set some things up for me," Donovan said into the phone as Delilah lay on her bed, wishing that Donovan was with her.

"What kind of items?"

"A better webcam," Donovan said, itching to see her face, "Let me video call you."

"I'm.. I look terrible!" Delilah laughed, but Donovan wasn't hearing any of that.

"You know you're beautiful. Please?"

Delilah smiled, "Alright. Give me a moment."

They ended the call and Delilah rushed to her vanity to make sure she didn't look too bad. Except for the puffy eyes to indicate she'd been crying, nothing else seemed out of place.

Video calling Donovan, a flutter in her stomach sent Delilah through the roof, especially when Donovan's handsome face came into view.

"There's my queen.." he said, gazing into her eyes, "I wish I could reach through this phone and hold you, Del. Do me a favor?"

"Anything.."

"Place the phone next to you when you sleep tonight. I want to be as close to you as possible and watch you sleep, hear your breaths and listen to your little whimpers just as if you were in my arms. Will you do that?"

Delilah, forcing back tears, nodded.

"Yes, Donnie... I will."

"That's my good girl," Donovan said, "You can lull me to sleep with that sweet, soft voice of yours. I want to hear you say my name..."

"Donnie..." Delilah stared into his eyes, knowing that he was the one.

The dom wasn't just her personal dominant or just a lover or a friend...

He was her eternal flame.
