“I need to get out of these heels,” I said, chickening out completely.

I left West alone in his office, hating that my courage had abandoned me so suddenly.

Alone in the locker room, I was changing back into my street clothes when a small, folded note fell out onto the floor. I picked it up and opened it, my heart racing when I read the elaborately scrolled words.

You aren’t welcome here. Quit now. Or else.

ChapterEighteen

WEST

There was a Kinbaku exhibit at Profane tonight, and if I’d thought about it sooner, I would have volunteered Rosie to be a part of it. Her eyes had lit up like a Christmas tree when she’d watched that first night. Her excitement was obvious.

Theo insisted that we have special events all the time. Tonight, he’d flown in the premier Kinbaku master in the world — Xi Xiang.

As soon as the doors opened, Xiang got started with his muse. The strikingly tall, raven-haired model submitted to him serenely as he worked on his intricate knots. He’d constructed a rope pulley in the process, which he now was using to suspend her body high in the air.

Her entire upper torso was encased in rope, but from the waist down, she was completely naked. Her legs swung in the air helplessly.

A crowd of onlookers gathered around in a circle, whispering and pointing as the Master continued his work.

I spotted Rosie at the edge of the crowd, entranced with the show. I walked over behind her.

“Do you like what you see, Little Rose?” I whispered quietly in her ear, my lips brushing against her skin with each hushed word.

She looked back at me quickly, then turned back to the show, silently nodding.

I wrapped my arms around her waist, pulling her close against my already throbbing cock. To my surprise, she didn’t hesitate to lean back and press her round cheeks into my hardness. I twitched with desire for her.

“He’s the best in the world,” I whispered. “Men and women pay him thousands of dollars a night to do this to them. Personally, I’m not into being restrained. I’m more of a top.” Moving my hands down, I grabbed her hips, pulling her even closer. “I could do that to you, Little Rose. You’re curious, aren’t you, sweetheart? I see it in your eyes.”

She nodded again.

“Are you afraid?”

I smiled at her slow nod. When she glanced back at me, her eyes were full of wonder, yet laced with fear. That fear sent a thrill through me. I wanted to help her face it, guide her through it and show her the sheer bliss of getting to the other side.

The only way I could do that is if she trusted me completely.

“Do you trust me, Rosie?” I asked, holding her gaze in the dark.

“I do, but yes, I’m afraid. I’ve never given up control like that to anyone, West.”

“There are ways to work up to it.” I reached up and caressed her cheek. “Gentle, slow gradients that we can start with.”

“What do you mean?”

“Silk ties, breakaway handcuffs, there’s a plethora of ways. Ways for you to slowly give up power to me as you become more comfortable, as you come to trust me more. If you’re really curious…”

Behind us, the suspended woman cried out and we both turned to keep watching. Xi stood in front of the bound woman, firmly pressing a large Hitachi vibrator directly against her clit. She writhed and moaned, her legs swinging freely in the air.

Seconds later,theshe cried out again, her orgasm echoing through the room as it rolled over her quivering body.

In front of me, her backside pressed against me, Rosie shuddered, her entire body shaking.

I knew my time had come.

It was clear she needed someone to take the reins and guide her. It was clear that I was that lucky person.
