“Rainbow.” I seethed through clenched teeth as she let her eyelids flutter closed as the man bent her knee to lift her foot as he began massaging it. “You’re playing with fire.”

“No, I’m not.” She replied dismissively. “I’m simply enjoying a present that your thoughtful sisters sent to me. Considering you wouldn’t let them attend tonight in person.” She finally opened those golden eyes again and stared at me. “Besides, what do you care about how I get in the mood for a show? It’s not like you were volunteering to help me.”

“Get in themood?” I uttered as the word left a foul taste in my mouth. Did she really plan to allow this nobody to get her in the mood when I was right down the hall the whole time?

She chuckled and sighed, “Yes, Tamen. Believe it or not, if we’re sexually aroused, we tend to make more believable partners for the night.”

“Sloane.” I snapped, flexing my hands at my sides. She wasn’t booked for any private sessions tonight. Or in the future, for that matter. In fact, her name wasn’t even listed in the system to book for anything other than the stage room.

And only I booked the stage room.

“No.” She countered forcefully, pointing her finger at me. “This is my space. In here, I’m in charge. And right now, I’m doing what is necessary for me to go out there and be on top of my game to entertain all our customers. Which means you don’t get to invade my space and start any of your shit. So, you can either leave,” She stared me down, “Or you can sit in that chair in the corner.” Raising one eyebrow, she dominantly finished. “And watch.Silently.”

Fucking hell.

She was dominating me.

And I couldn’t do anything about it.

There wasn’t a chance in hell that I was going to leave her office while she was naked with a stranger touching her skin with the literal intent of arousing her. She’d kick me out on principal alone if I gave her even one reason to, simply to get back at me for the other day at my hotel when I had kicked her out for getting too close.

“Fine.” I shoved my jacket off my shoulders and sat down in the chair she pointed at, staring at her the whole time as I did just what she said.

I sat.

And watched.

Remaining silent the entire time.

Like a good fucking boy, just for her.

I had dabbled in letting women be in charge in the bedroom before, I wasn’t a total Neanderthal. But allowing Sloane to dominate me when my dick wasn’t actively inside of her body was uncharted territory for me.

She was used to being in charge though, and as she held my stare, moaning as the guy bent her leg up on the table, stretching her hamstring, I could see how much she was enjoying herself. Sloane was thriving, having me as her plaything while enjoying her massage.

Truth be told, I didn’t mind either. Even though I wanted to throw my knife into the side of the bloke’s neck for having what I was sure was an unobscured view of her naked cunt, it didn’t matter.

Because her eyes were on me.

He didn’t matter to her; I knew that.

How many other men came and went through her life, meaning nothing to her past the exchange of money at the end, leading us both to this exact moment?

And why did that somehow make what was burning between us for weeks now even more powerful? Without a second thought, I let my body have control, feeding the need to be near her.

As I watched her, the glow around her burned bright yellow. Power.

Sloane was a goddess by her own right, and when she felt powerful, she was vibrant.

Her lips parted as I stood up from my time-out chair and stalked toward her, lowering myself to her level. Capturing her wild hair in my hands, I held her head still and pressed my lips to hers without a single word.

The shock held her immobile for a moment before she melted against me, opening for me as I pressed my tongue into her mouth. “Dismiss him.” I rasped against her lips, biting her bottom one when she didn’t reply. “Let me be what you need tonight.”

In any other situation, I would have felt pathetic for allowing myself to be subservient to anyone, but not to Sloane.

Not tonight.

“God.” Her silky voice exposed her need as much as my actions did mine. She waved her hand in the air. “You’re dismissed, thank you! Go. Now!”
