“You said you saw something else that convinced you that this woman was me.”

His lips twitched. “Yes, I did. By the by, are you naked beneath those sheets?”

“No.” That was the truth at least.

“Back to your trip to Rough ‘n Ready.”

“I wasn’t there. YouthinkI was there.”

He gave her a look of pity. “You can’t deny me. I know it was you.”

“How on earth do you know it was me?”

He studied her a long moment before saying. “Your eyes.”

“What?”

“It was your eyes. No one on earth has eyes that shade of blue.”

It took all her power not to cross her arms and stare him down. Of course, if she did that, she would probably expose her breasts. She sniffed instead.

“I doubt that.”

Even though she knew it was an uncommon shade of blue, especially with her dark hair.

“No one I’ve seen lately. So, do you want to explain to me why you’ve been a submissive all these years and not told me?”

She wanted to keep arguing with him, but she didn’t see a point. Still, she could gain some ground on him.

“I will but not here. I want to freshen up and get dressed first.”

He cocked his head to the side. “Okay, but don’t be long. I don’t like to be kept waiting.”

Irritation slipped through her entire body. He waited until she nodded. Then he rose from the bed and walked out of the room, closing the door behind him with a click. She fell back against the pillows, her head swirling with what had just happened.

Now that he knew she was a submissive, what did that mean for their relationship? He had never made any advances toward her before this. It was one of the things that had made their working relationship so wonderful. He respected her for who she was and what she did.

She grabbed her phone and hit Serenity’s number.

It took three rings before her friend answered. “You hate me. Why do you call so early?”

“Because Jensen just invaded my bedroom and told me he saw me last night at Rough ‘n Ready.”

“What?” Serenity shouted into the phone. There was a mumble of male voices behind her. “Jensen caught her at the club. Go away and make me coffee. Go on.”

“Kind of bossy for a woman I know is a submissive.”

“Just like you. I’m okay with being controlled in bed, but I control my life. So, he caught you?”

“No. He saw me. He didn’t confront me until this morning.”

There was silence on the other end.

“Serenity?”

“Sorry. I was just thinking what his reaction was.”

“Not sure, but I’m going to punch Micah if he was the one who told on me.”
