I look at my cohusband.
“Happy to help.”
“Make your choice, or I’ll do it for you.”
CHAPTER TWENTY
Isla
Dorian’s threat galvanizes me. No doubt he’d enjoy seeing others look at my naked sex.
Brennan leans back, arms crossed, watching with a predator’s patience.
My fingers wavering, I struggle to remove my underwear.
Once I have, he takes them from my grasp and leans across the table to offer the scrap of fabric to Brennan.
For a moment, he holds them. “She is a little liar, isn’t she?” Then he slips the satiny lace into his pocket.
“You’re such a good girl.”
I could exist off Dorian’s words of approval, and I hate that.
“I’m sure her breasts have to feel very confined, with her lower body being all-but naked.” Even though Brennan’s speaking to Dorian, he’s looking at me.
“No.” I shake my head.
“How remiss of me.”
“I’m fine,” I protest. “Honestly.”
But Dorian has already risen, and he offers his hand to me. “Come with me.”
Scandalized, I accept, and he possessively closes his fingers around mine as he guides me to my feet.
My legs tremble, and I roll my shoulders back a little as I tug my dress back into place. The hemline had seemed outrageously short earlier, but now I’m desperate for even that tiny amount of coverage.
Thankfully he allows me that small modesty.
As he guides me toward the far corner of the dining room, I’m conscious of how tight the collar is around my throat. I’m sure everyone is staring at me, knowing that Dorian has staked his claim as my master, my owner.
We reach the ladies’ room, and he follows me inside, locking the door behind him with a sharp click.
When he turns to me, his gray eyes are smoldering. “Take off your dress, Isla.” He comes closer to trace my collarbone with a lover’s caress. “Let me see you.”
“I—”
He turns me so quickly that my breath freezes. Then he slams me up against the tile wall.
“Dorian!”
In an instant, my dress is around my waist once more.
My jaw drops, but my protest dies as his touch ignites my skin.
He leans in, wedging his hard, massive cock between my buttocks. “You will learn to do what I say, when I say it.”
The mirrors around us throw back my reflection and his. I’m flushed, with my hair wild around me, but his eyes are ravenous.
