“I can do that.” She would tell her friends everything. It was time she let go of the past.

“You do know who the Dom is who approached you?” Crystal asked.

“It’s Damon.” Her nipples went tight. Damn it, he wasn’t supposed to affect her like that. She thought she had trained herself to be immune to men like him.

“She figured it out. Does he know who you are?” Sierra asked.

“No. He thinks I look familiar.”

“Hell, I barely recognized you in the outfit you’re wearing,” Crystal said.

“It’s always the quiet ones,” Sierra muttered.

Tessa hid a grin. “Should I leave?”

“No.”

“Absolutely not.”

Those words from her friends warmed her heart.

“Let’s head back into the club like we’ve been in the ladies’ room. No one will be suspicious,” Sierra said.

“Will Max tell Damon?” Tessa didn’t want Damon to find out that she was a member—yet.

“He won’t. I’ll make sure of it,” Sierra said.

“Jordan won’t say anything either, if he wants any time with me,” Crystal said.

“Thank you both.”

“Let’s go. I can’t wait to see how long it takes Damon to figure out it’s you,” Sierra said.

“He’ll find out at midnight. Remember, we reveal ourselves then,” Crystal said as they walked out of Max’s office.

I’ll be gone before then.Tess had no plans to stay until everyone took off their masks.

“Game faces on,” Sierra said as they walked back into the club.

Damon glanced around the scene area as he exited. He didn’t see the woman with the blue feathered mask. Or should he say Tessa. His cock had come to attention the minute he saw her talking to Regina. He hadn’t had a reaction like that since the last time he saw Tessa.

Damon stopped when he found her sitting and talking with Regina and a couple of the other club subs. He studied her. Her expression was animated as she talked. What was she doing here? How did she get in? Wait, she said she was a member? He shook his head. Why didn’t he remember her being in the club before? Nothing made sense.

The last time he saw her, he’d taken her home after the book club meeting. The woman had sass but damned if he minded. She was smart, sexy, gave as good as she got, and made his dick hard.

Damon kept his gaze on the women as confusion filled him. Tessa’s musical laughter reached his ears in the momentary silence as the music changed. They’d decided to add a makeshift dance floor for tonight, and that meant different music. Tonight wasn’t about BDSM play. Tonight was simply a party. Yes, members could play if they wanted.

What he wanted was Tessa in his arms. He strode over to the green area where she sat. The subs went quiet when he stepped into the area. Damon had to fight against taking her hand and pulling her into his arms.

“May I have this dance?” He held out his hand.

Regina nudged Tessa.

“Very well.” She slipped her hand into his. He eased her to her feet and led her out to the small dance floor. There were a few couples using it. Damon swung her into his arms.

“So, my beautiful blue lady, tell me more about yourself.” Damon kept a respectable distance between their bodies even if he wanted her closer. He needed to play this cool, or she’d figure out he knew who she was and run for the hills.
