“Good girl. Put your shirt on and get back into the car.”

His voice was stern, but when she looked at him, his eyes were dancing with desire and delight. He wasn’t angry. She hid a smile. Slipping her shirt on, she made her way back to the passenger side and climbed in.

Her clit continued to throb. She almost wanted to rub herself against the coarse material and get herself off. But if she did that, it would get her into more hot water with Jared.Damn, this was going to be a long drive.

Jared watched her fasten her seatbelt, then leaned into the passenger side and kissed her hard. “Top from the bottom and I’ll give you more than a light paddling.” He straightened. “You will not come.”

The door slammed, and Angie huffed. Jared opened the back door, threw the blanket and her panties on the seat, then climbed behind the wheel. He turned to her.

“When we get to the club, I’m going to enjoy pleasuring you so much you won’t know which direction is up. You’ll come so much and so often you’ll beg me to stop. That’s when Gabe will join us, and we’ll start all over again. You wanted me out of control? Well, now you’ll have it.”

Angie closed her eyes and leaned her head back. This was out of control? She would say he was still in control. Was she reading him wrong? She glanced at him as he made a U-turn and headed back to the main road.

Well, she had wanted him out of control. She sighed. Jared would never hurt her or push her too far. She trusted him to know exactly what she could take, and if she needed it, she had her safe words.

Tonight was going to be fun.

When Jared finally stopped the car at a large metal gate, Angie shivered as she stared at it. They’d been on this back road for about fifteen minutes, almost two hours from the ranch. Forests surrounded the area. A person could get lost out here.

He rolled down his window, punched in a code on the keypad, and waited. After a minute, the black gate opened, and they drove through.

“Xavier’s is a private club, and only those with the right code are allowed in. There are also cameras around the entire estate to keep unwanted visitors out.”

“Does that happen a lot?”

“Not that I’m aware of. It’s more of a safety precaution.”

Angie gasped as a huge mansion came into view. “The place is big.” It didn’t look like a BDSM club, but then she’d never been inside one.

“Gabe owns all the land nearby so no one can build.”

“Like your ranch?”

“Yes. But the club is nothing like the ranch.” He pulled into the circular driveway. The waiting valets opened the doors as soon as the vehicle came to a stop. “Good evening, sir, ma’am.”

“Good evening, Nigel.” Jared dropped the key into the man’s palm, then helped Angie out of the car. “Our bags are in the trunk. Gabe will know what room we’re in.”

Valets?This seemed more like a high-class hotel than a club. Jared held her hand as they walked up the stairs. Angie admired the old style of the house, columns and a huge, wrap-around porch.

“Welcome to Xavier’s, sir, ma’am,” a uniformed man at the door said. He grasped the door handle and pushed the door open. “Enjoy your evening.”

“Thank you.” Jared guided her into the house.

The foyer was open with high ceilings. The paintings on the walls made Angie feel like she was in an art gallery. Jared kept moving to a corridor and into another room.

She stopped in her tracks. The room was big. Along the back wall was a large bar area, and the rest of the room was filled with sofas and overstuffed chairs, some of them occupied.

Occupied? Interesting choice of word. In one chair, a man was enjoying a blow job. On a sofa, there was a man and two women. The women were almost nude as he fondled their breasts. There were two couples on another sofa, all fondling each other. There were other people in the room, but Angie dropped her gaze.

They hadn’t discussed others watching them. She swallowed. Her heart pounded, and her gut clenched. She was about to ask him when a couple caught her eye.

The man was stroking the woman’s neck just above a silver choker with several tiny hearts on it. As his fingers moved over the metal, they gazed into each other’s eyes, totally oblivious to everyone else in the room. Love shined from them, and Angie wondered if she’d ever find a man to stare at her like that.Would Jared ever look at me like that?

“It’s early. Later, the room will be full,” Jared said, pulling her attention back to him.

“They don’t mind people watching them?”
