This man talked about Aiden as if he knew him. It bugged me. What concerned me further was his knowledge of our sex life.

“What do you want?”

“Don’t want to talk about your Dom and Sub relationship?”

That wasn’t what we shared with each other. I didn’t need to put labels on our relationship. We were just Aiden and Avery. Two people who loved each other in their own way.

“It’s none of your fucking business.”

“Touchy subject.”

I gritted my teeth.

“How do you know about us?” I ground out.

He chuckled again. This man was getting on my nerves. Asking me intimate questions like he was an old friend.

“I like to keep an eye on your family’s operation.”

“And that means spying on their sex lives, does it? I think you’re the one with the weird kinks here.”

He laughed. A full belly laugh which sounded wrong in that disjointed robotic voice.

“Oh darlin’, you really are a hoot. I don’t care what sick fantasies they like to act out. Our mutual acquaintance is different. I have my reasons for keeping him under surveillance.”

My skin prickled. Something about this had all my senses tingling. I should know who this is. I should be able to work it out. Who would want to keep an eye on Aiden if not Chuck and Frazier? Who else would care? He had no one except Tina and Ben.

And you. Don’t forget, he has you.

He’d have me again when I got out of here. I’d had enough of all this shit.

I wanted to shed my identity as a Daniels.

I wanted to be his weapon.

I wanted to be his.

Completely.

“I don’t want to talk about him. Tell me why you brought me here.”

“All in good time darlin’. You see, I want to talk about you and Aiden.”

I shivered hearing him refer to Aiden directly. I wasn’t exactly in a position to argue. Tied to a chair in a room with a man I didn’t know behind a two-way mirror. So I waited instead.

“No more objections? I’m disappointed. I like you talking back. Does he?”

“No, he doesn’t.”

We got into arguments when I did. Aiden made me so crazy sometimes, I couldn’t hold back. And he’d fuck me into submission afterwards, that was my punishment. I almost scoffed. Some fucking punishment when I adored his brutality in the bedroom.

“He likes to be in control. I imagine you caused him no end of trouble.”

I clamped my mouth shut. If he wanted me to talk back to him, then I wasn’t giving him the satisfaction.

“I can see the allure you hold. A pretty little young thing like you. A siren. You called out to him with your song, wound him around your little finger by giving him exactly what he needed. You think he has all the power? You’re wrong. It’s you who controls him. He’s a slave to his desire for you.”

He snorted.
