“I knew Carrie would be pissed I’d snuck out to Pendulum. I signed a contract with her.”
“How long is your contract?”
She shrugged. “How do you know Kaison?”
I went to answer and then saw the trap.
Rue waved her slice of toast at me. “Exactly.”
“I know how to navigate the scene.”
“You ruined my night.” She lifted her mug and took a sip.
“They have questionable consent at Pendulum.”
“Most of us can’t get into Enthrall.”
She was right, of course. The best place to attend was the most difficult to get into. The elite training and therapeutic specialties weren’t open to everyone.
Anyway, none of this was my problem. In less than a few hours she’d be out of my life.
“Tell me more about Enthrall?” she said.
“Never going to happen, Rue.”
“Why?”
“Because I said no.”
“If anyone can get me in it’s you.”
As much as I enjoyed this banter with a hotheaded sub it would only go one way if it continued—I’d end up spanking her.
Hard.
“Do you have a submissive?” she asked.
I scratched the back of my head. I didn’t want to lie. Still, it was a conversation not worth having.
Rue slid off the barstool and came around to my side. “This is you making it up to me.” She kneeled, peering up with those soulful eyes begging me to play along.
It made me wonder how kinky her predilections were.
Mine were probably too edgy for her.
“Master.”
My dick responded before I could warn it this wasn’t happening.
I wanted to throw away everything I knew to be true…that I was meant to be her savior. The man who’d removed her from danger.
Only right now,Iwas the danger.
My cock was trying to persuade me to give her what she wanted. What she clearly needed.
“Get up,” I snapped.
Rue dragged her teeth over her bottom lip as though that would work.
