I pull her panties aside, smirking when I feel how wet she is. “Did dancing with him make you wet?” My finger glides up and down her slit, and I savor the feeling, the way her body reacts to my touch. “Or is this all for me?”

She doesn’t back down. “What if he does? I told you I’m not going to be exclusive with you.”

“I. Don’t. Care. Sparkle,” I growl out, thrusting my finger in and out of her as I enunciate each word, making her gasp. “If you want to fuck Koen, if you want to fuck Alaric, I’d be right there, telling them how to make you scream.” My hand stills as I clench my jaw. “But Harrington? He’s the goddamnenemy.”

She shifts away from me slightly, searching my face. “What if he isn’t?”

“And what if he helped murder one of my favorite people?” I push harder against her then, rubbing her clit, and her hands fly up to my shoulders, fingers digging in. “Enough with yourwhat-ifs,” I snarl out, my touch relentless. “I’m done hearing them.” Her body tenses as she teeters on the edge, then trembles in earnest as her breaths turn to ragged gasps.

Then, when she’s about to break, I stop.

She lets out a frustrated sound, her eyes narrowing as they meet mine. “Are you… punishing me?”

I let a slow, wicked grin cross my face as I reach into my pocket for the small toy I brought tonight. Her eyes widen when I reach past her and turn on the tap, running the toy under hot water, keeping my gaze locked on hers, daring her to guess my next move.

“What… what are you doing?”

I turn off the stream as I widen her thighs with my free hand. Bringing the toy between them, I brush the lace of herpanties aside once more and slip the toy inside, watching her eyes carefully for her reaction.

Except I don’t have to. It’s all in her body, in the way she tenses for the briefest moment before melting into my touch like she did when I barged in here and kissed her.

“This isn’t a punishment,” I murmur, my lips brushing against hers as I press the button on the remote, smiling as I feel the subtle vibration against my hand where I’m still palming her pussy.Mypussy. “It’s a reminder.”

“A reminder of wh-what?” She stumbles on her words as she shudders and drinks it in before I push again to increase the intensity.

“Of the perks of owning me.” I love to see her body squirm under my control, but when she reaches the edge again, I switch off the toy.

Her eyes blaze as she glares up at me, breath coming in shallow gasps. “Why does it feel like a punishment then?”

“That’s a new look on you,” I whisper. “Annoyed… and a little desperate. I think I’ll add that to my list of favorite expressions. Now come on,” I instruct as I attempt to straighten her skirt. “Get up and back to the party.”

“Sylus… this is serious business. We can’t play around like this here.”

“Why not?” I challenge, tilting her chin up with my finger when she doesn’t meet my gaze. “You’ve got him where we need him, right?”

She hesitates, then nods almost reluctantly. “Yeah. He asked me on a date for Tuesday.”

“You’re so damn good, baby.” I grin, brushing a thumb over her cheek. “You can think of this as your reward.”

There’s still hesitation behind her eyes as she sighs. “Sylus.”

“What?” I brush a strand of hair from her mask, giving her a challenging look. “You scared?”

That does it. She shakes her head, adjusts her panties, and slips off the counter. But before she can take a step, I grab her wrist and tug her to me, capturing her mouth in a fierce, possessive kiss. Her hands find my hair, gripping tight, and I’m not stopping until she remembers exactly who she craves.

When I finally break the kiss, I hold up my pinky finger between us, eyes locked with hers. “Promise me,” I murmur, the words a low, rough command wrapped in a question. “That I’m the only one who gets you this worked up.”

She looks at me, breathless, hooking her pinky around mine. “I promise,” she whispers, and I hold her gaze as I brush a kiss across our locked fingers.

“That’s my girl,” I murmur against her skin before letting her go, giving her a smack on the ass. “Now go back to him and try not to think about me.”

I’m grinning like crazy as she walks away with that slightly irritated twist to her lips.Yeah, let’s see if she keeps looking at him that way while she’s dripping for me.

I wait several moments, then head back to the guys, weaving through the party, smug in the knowledge that I literally have the remote to her pussy in my hand. It’s hard to wipe the smirk off my face as I catch sight of Levi and Ezra talking and laughing together. Koen’s watching me intently as I approach, his expression unreadable.

“Where were you?” Koen asks suspiciously as soon as I’m close enough to hear him.

“Bathroom.” I shrug nonchalantly.
