Even with being pissed at her, her stammer was still adorable.

“And you expect me to believe that when you just admitted to manipulating a situation for my time in another way?”

Her eyes blinked rapidly and quickly glistened with tears.

Hell. I hadn’t wanted to make her cry.

“I didn’t have another option, Jensen.”

Fucking shit. The way my name rolled of her tongue did something to me.

My head was spinning with the sudden turn of events yet I had no desire to stop the ride.

She was, as she had been last week, unexpected.

Running a hand through my hair, I exhaled a harsh breath and puffed out my cheeks. “This is a fucking disaster. I don’t mix my business with my...lifestyle,” I said for lack of a better term.

Haley’s eyes went clear. “Then I suppose it’s a good thing I only need you as a lawyer.”

“Excuse me?” My voice tightened. Her answer was in direct contrast to what she’d already admitted.

“I told you monogamy is important. You’re here on a date and if I have to choose, then I choose the lawyer. Master Dylan can help me with the other thing.”

Like fuck he would. Red blurred the edges of my vision and I took an intimidating step forward. “If I were your Dom, Haley, I’d turn you around right now, lift your dress and spank your ass for that threat, and I wouldn’t give a shit if anyone walked down this hallway and saw you. You do not threaten a man like me, with what you just said.”

Her breath hitched and her tongue darted out, wetting her lips.

I continued before she could speak. “And as much as I can tell you like the thought of that, since we haven’t had the meeting to discuss your training, I will allow your insubordination this one time. But do not forget who I am, Haley. Now, I was in a business meeting, one that came to abrupt halt right as you arrived. I need to tie up some loose ends, but that’s the only explanation you will receive from me about this. I want you to leave here, before I force you to your knees and make you suck my cock that’s dying for a taste of your mouth. Meet me in ten minutes at Raccoon Brewery around the corner. Do you understand?”

Her lips pressed together.

I waited one second...two...

“I understand.”

I arched a brow, silently admonishing her.

“I understand, sir.”

“Good job, pretty girl,” I whispered before I could stop myself. I pressed my palm to her cheek and softened my voice. “I’ll meet you there and we’ll talk.”

“About what?”

I narrowed my lust-filled eyes at her. “Everything.”
