I turn to face her looking really fucking hot in a formfitting plum-colored dress. “Hey, beautiful. Care to join us?”

Her smile is full of mischief. “Can’t. I’m heading up to the voyeur floor.”

“You should come up to level three later. The custom pieces were installed earlier today. Thanks for the suggestion.”

“What are we talking about?” She’s got their attention now. Ryder is devouring her in that dress.

“Flex showed me the training level. I suggested it might be good to accommodate scenarios with multiples. I’m excited to see what you’ve done. It already looked amazing.”

I crook my finger, beckoning her to come closer. She bends down just enough for the neckline of her dress to be flattering in this position. I pull her closer, my lips only millimeters from her ear. “Your ménage chaise is ready. You should definitely try it out.” I find her sharp intake of breath satisfying. She’ll look hot as hell up there with Pierce and Freya.

“I will. Thank you.” She smells incredible. “I better get going.”

“I wouldn’t want to stand in the way of your pleasure.”

She says a quick goodbye to everyone, but I don’t miss the flush of her cheeks, and neither do they.

Dalton eyes me as I grab my drink and down it. “What was that about?”

“Nothing. We’re friends. She’s hot. You should come watch her upstairs.”

“I’m good, thanks. Have you already forgotten that she works for me, and I’m a married man?”

“So is Pierce, but he started her little floor show.”

“What am I being accused of?” he asks, stopping his conversation with Ryder.

“Dalton doesn’t want to check out the floor show that Celest will be doing on level two. He says he’s a married man, but so are you.”

A shit-eating grin creeps at the corner of his lips, his eyes darkening at the thought. “Freya gets so fucking wet when Celest gets off.It’s not like I’m fucking her or letting her fuck my wife. A little titillation is sexy. I don’t even touch her, but Freya… holy shit.”

“I’m still going to pass on that. Again, you guys seem to forget she works for me.”

Ryder speaks up. “What does she do for you?”

“She works with my acquisitions team, scoping new ventures. When she started, she was basically shuffling papers, but she has worked her way up. She has a keen eye for potential businesses that might be a good fit for The Callaghan Group. Hence, why I don’t want to see her naked.”

“How are you a Dom?” I jibe.

“Because I fuck my sub until she can’t walk and punish her like the good little kitten she is. Trust me, she has no problem submitting to me. Here. At home. In my office.”

“Fair play. I take my hat off to you guys. Finding a sub to marry is good if you want to fuck one woman for the rest or your life.”

“Can I get you gentlemen another round?” Eli knows the drinks flow when we all get together around one table, but I have other plans for my evening.

“I’m going to bid you adieu. There’s a lonely sub upstairs just waiting for me to make her night.”

“You kicked your sub to the curb less than an hour ago.”

“Yep. Time to find a sub for the night.” I gesture to my friends. “You’re welcome for taking a hit. She was a terrible lay. Way too chatty for my liking.”

“Did you even know her last name?” Ford is Editor-in-Chief ofThe New York Times. He’s always ready to deep-dive on every sub he meets.

“I think it started with a G.” That amuses them. “It was in the contract. She wasn’t the love of my life. Geez.”

“So, who have you got lined up now?”

“I don’t know. I’m going upstairs to find a hot woman to bang. Don’t worry, I’ll regale you with my carefree conquests the next time your wives let you out unchaperoned.”
