“Good. You may answer questions if I ask them. Otherwise, just watch the show.”

I tried to do as he said, but I couldn’t concentrate on anything but his thumb rubbing against my bare thighs, then moving higher, brushing the edge of my tight shorts.

One of the guys on stage sank into a split, leaving his face right at the other man’s crotch. He leaned in until he was almost kissing the bulge in the other man’s jock strap. Men started yelling and taunting them:

“Suck him off!”

“Go on. Get his dick out!”

“Show us what you’ve got in there.”

“Wrap those lips around it!”

Val pressed his lips to my ear. “What if that was us, would you do what they said?”

“I…you wouldn’t want them watching.”

“As long as you’re with me, I don’t care. They can see how well you take me now that you’re mine and no one else can have you.”

I made a strangled sound. I couldn’t decide if I was turned on or horrified by that idea.

“Would you do it if I told you to?”

“Yes, sir.” I wasn’t lying, I would do anything for him. Not just because I owed him, but because I wanted to. I’d lost my fucking mind.

When the dancing came to an end, I was painfully hard. It would take less than a minute for him to jerk me off, and if he’d put his mouth on me, God, I’d probably come in seconds.

He shifted his grip to my waist and lifted me. I managed to get my feet under myself even though my mind was hazy with lust.

“Go take a break and be ready for your next set. I want my good boy to dance beautifully so I can reward you.”

I frowned at him. “I thought you were punishing me.”

“That was because you defied me. Have you been following my orders?”

“Yes, sir.” I didn’t want to do anything to jeopardize the chance to have him as my client.

“Excellent. Now do as I said.”

I hurried back to the dressing room.

VALENTINO

As I watched Liam walk away, I wanted to follow him, to tell him not to go on stage. What if I could take him home with me and pay his debt myself?

You really want that? You want to bring him into this life? Put him under your father’s scrutiny?

Did I?

Dom will flip if you pay Liam’s debt.

I’ve worked fucking hard. I deserve to be with whomever I want.

Then just fuck him and keep quiet about it.

Was that really all I wanted?
