“It’s not his job to police his friends. Besides, you get hardened in our line of business.”

“More reason not to marry Kenton, then.”

“You’re not even giving him a chance,” my father growls. “This is the best match for you.”

“I get that it’s the best match for you, but it isn’t for me.”

He pounds the table. “Stop being so entitled!”

I can’t believe my ears. “I’m being entitled because I want to decide for myself who I want to marry, if I want to marry?”

“It’s not as if I’m asking you to marry some poor slob off the streets.”

“You can’t make me marry Kenton!”

Grace, who doesn't like tension, tries to calm the air. “I think we should finish our brunch and talk about this later.”

Ignoring her, my father continues to address me. “I’ve given you everything you’ve ever wanted. I’m paying for your tuition to Notre Dame, your ski trips, the clothes you’re wearing. What have you done for this family?”

I throw down my fork and stand up. “Then don’t pay for everything! I’ll find a way to support myself!”

“Casey!” Grace admonishes. “You know that’s not what your father meant.”

“All he cares about is me marrying Kenton. Maybe he thinks living a life of luxury while my husband fucks women half his age behind my back is good enough for me. Well, it’s not!”

With that, I whirl around and storm out. I go in search of Chase, who has my car keys.

“I’m going for a drive,” I tell him.

Wordlessly, he hands over the keys and follows me to the garage. He gets into his car. I hate that he has to go wherever I go.

I don’t know where I’m headed. I only know that I want to get away from my parents, from my stupid, suffocating life.

A call comes in from Hannah. “Hey, girl, you want to go shopping?”

“We went shopping two days ago,” I reply.

“So? What does that have to do with shopping today?”

“I don’t feel like shopping.”

“Then how about we make it a spa day?”

“We did that the other day too.”

I don’t want to go shopping or have a spa day. I want to vent my frustrations on the slopes, something impactful, to get the blood pumping. All my friends ever want to do is go shopping, get a facial, lounge by the pool, or if it’s later in the evening, go out for drinks or clubbing. I need more excitement in my life than that.

What I need is the right Dom.

I can’t wait for Club de Sade to open.

Chapter six

Casey

I can barely contain my excitement when I see him here at the club, but I have to play it cool. I’m not convinced the guy is interested in me, so I don’t want to come across too eager. But he’s going to be mine tonight. Nothing is going to stand in the way of that.

Except maybe Carmen.
