While he dressed, she busied herself tidying and sanitizing the room.

Unable to help herself, she surreptitiously glanced at him as she dragged the chair back into place.

Watching him dress was unbelievably erotic.

He was such a powerful man, every movement controlled, and she couldn’t look away.

When he was naked, he’d had a tangible aura of command, but now that his shirt was tucked back in, his cuffs buttoned, his shoes tied, he looked as if he should run an empire.

Maybe he did.

Outside of the Den, she knew little about him.

“Shall we?” He led the way to the door then opened it for her.

She lowered her gaze as she neared him.

“Brandy?”

“Sir?” She stopped.

His thumb pressed beneath her chin, he tipped her head back. “Thank you.”

Earlier, she’d noticed lines of tension on his forehead. They appeared somewhat less prominent now.

His eyes were lighter, and she glimpsed a side of him that she’d never seen before.

“Thank you, Sir.” Though their encounter left her unsettled, she was glad it had worked for him.

Without thinking, she curled her fingers around his wrist, and electricity pulsed through her.

For long moments, they studied each other, breathed together.

She wondered if he might say something, then he shook his head.

With a tight smile, he settled for politeness. “I look forward to seeing you again.”

Whatever he might have revealed was gone forever. “Enjoy your evening, Sir.” She lowered her hand to her side.

Her pussy still throbbed, and heat lingered in a few places where his lash had fallen.

He’d been masterful and deliberate, and a lot of members would benefit if he taught classes at the Den.

In the past, some Doms had taken her breath away with the harshness of their initial strokes. But Master Niles, with the way he’d first trailed the strands across her body, had gradually worked her into a state of readiness for his flogging.

No man was his equal.

Their scene had lasted longer than many others, and he hadn’t held back, yet she’d been unaware of anything except the pleasure he offered.

Any sub who scened with him was fortunate, and spoiled for other Doms.

Including me?

Shaking her head, realizing she teetered on the verge of becoming emotional with him, she took a step back. “If you’ll excuse me, Sir?”

“With great reluctance, Brandy. With great reluctance.”

After giving him a half-smile, she brushed past him.
