Rebecca lifted a brow. “When we met, you wanted me to take the mask off.”

Cass shrugged. “I was young and stupid then.”

Rebecca laughed. “It was less than a year ago, you goof!”

“Okay, okay.” Cass grinned. “I wanted to see if your face was as hot as your ass.” She frowned. “Wait. That… that didn’t come out right.”

“God, I love you.” Rebecca kissed Cassidy the best she could while cracking up. “Okay, ahem. So, we hire someone to manage the place, keep the Pink Room closed to anyone but us, and use it often. I’m free to keep pursuing other options.”

“In business only!” Cass smiled. “But yeah. That was kinda my plan when I went to Eve.”

“All for this room, huh?” Rebecca purred.

“All for you, baby. You worked hard for this place. Almost died for it. You deserve to be here without the guilt or hurt. Let it make you happy now.”

Rebecca’s heart melted. Maybe Miranda was right. Maybe she didn’t deserve Cassidy. But she was going to cherish her for as long as she had her. And if Rebecca—and Mistress—had anything to say about it, that would be forever.

She crawled off Cassidy’s lap, provoking a whiney protest. “Go to the foot of the bed, Cassidy, and get undressed.”

Cass scrambled to obey. When she got to the bed, she turned and smiled. “Yes, Mistress.”
