‘I’ll give you my card, and we can arrange something for next week.’
‘We’ll arrange something now. And if you try anything sneaky between now and then, like cancelling on me, Iwillgo to your family. And to the press. I heard your parents are very traditional. Apparently, they insisted your brother James find a wife after his last scandal. It was on a yacht, I believe?’ Of course, I came prepared. My Google search history is overflowing with Beckett scandals.
A vein thrums at his temple, and he blows out a breath. He stares at me for a long beat like he’s part horrified yet reluctantly impressed. I bet my life a man like him doesn’t like taking orders, which is why he does what he does down here. If he’d just agree to let me try this, I’d take orders from him day and night—especially if they involved taking his body inside mine.
‘What do you think they’d ask of the son they discovered running a kinky sex club?’ I push my mask up on top of my head and arch a single eyebrow. ‘That you join the priesthood?’
‘You’re very bossy for a woman who is supposed to be auditioning for a submissive role.’
‘Don’t worry, sir,’ I salute him. ‘I can take orders as well as I can give them.’
‘I guess we’ll find out.’ He shoots me a hard glance, like he’s contemplating all the ways he’s going to punish me for this.
Bring it on.
‘Dinner at my place on Sunday, seven o’clock sharp. I’ll go get the paperwork, and your clothes.’
‘Are you sure you don’t want to start the initiation process right now?’ Tension swirls in the air between us. The ache between my legs is practically painful.
‘I won’t lay a finger on you until you sign the contract.’His eyes darken to almost black. ‘And so help you when you do.’
An hour later, after checking in with Kat—who I categorically didn’t mention any of tonight’s erotic events to—I get into my bed with a glass of cold, crisp Sancerre and a contract the size of a peace treaty. Sean Beckett’s shiny black business card is pinned at the top with a paperclip. I run my fingers over the glossy thick card, slide it out from under the metal and turn it over in my hands.
You don’t have to do thisis scrawled across it in an Italic font.
Oh, but that’s where you’re wrong, Mr Beckett.
I categoricallydohave to do this. Or my body will never forgive me, and my brain will never let me forget. I take a huge mouthful of wine and open the contract.
