“I came in to have a drink and meet new friends; like you.” I smile as I sip on my drink.

We continue our conversation for a few minutes then he asks if I want to be with him.

For a second, I think I don’t then suddenly my mouth opens and out comes, “Yes.” My eyes shift side to side and I cross my legs tight.

“Good, because I want to be with you.” His grin turns sinful.

“But I don’t want to be ‘Jezzy’ when I’m with you.”

“No? Who, and what, do you want to be?”

“I want to be Icy Princess, your sub,” I state firmly.

It was a long week, but it’s finally over. Decklan worked more than he’s had in recent weeks and we hardly saw one another.

Tonight is my first night with Ice. I can’t wait. His presence alone makes me come. The anticipation of my night with him fills me with intense emotions. Deciding to take the edge off a bit by watching the video of Kid and me again, I settle in bed.

My phone rings just as the video begins with Decklan’s ringtone. I close my laptop, knowing this must be important. He only calls me from the office when there’s a huge problem.

“Hello?” I put my vibrator back in the nightstand drawer and walk into the bathroom to shower after I know what’s going on at the office.

“Julia, I need you to come in. As soon as you can.”

“Okay.”

“There’s a possible breach with one of our largest clients. I need you to help me smooth this out. Please, Juls.”

“I’ll be right in.” I end the call and strip off my clothes as the water warms. After my quick shower, I dress and find my purse and brown leather bag before going to DJ’s Credit Security Pros.

“Mother fucker!” My cell phone meets the oak desk with a hard smack when I end the call with Cillian from Club Wonderland. “Goddamn fucking mother fuckers!” Sweat trails down my face. I drag my hands through my hair and blow out a hard breath. If the club’s client list is breached. I’m dead. Julia’s dead, and no one will find our bodies.

“Hey, boss. What’s going on?” Tim, my assistant, asks when he comes into my office.

“You don’t want to know, Tim. It’s a massive clusterfuck.” I pick up a paperweight and swing my arm. Not releasing the object, I slam it back down onto my desk and squeeze it hard.

“Whatever you need me to do, you know I will.” Tim sits in the black armchair opposite me.

“Yeah, I know. Thanks. But this one’s for Julia to handle.” I take a seat and fall back against the high back of my red leather chair. “I just hope she can handle it.” I drag my hand through my hair again and stare at the ceiling.

My office door swings open, and Julia appears. “Okay, Decklan. Let’s get to work.” She sets her purse and large bag on the low bookshelf just inside the door. “Oh, hey, Tim. How are you?” She smiles and sits in the chair beside him.

“Morning, Julia. I’m good. How are you?” He stands and walks toward the door.

“I’ll be better when this crisis is over.” She nods, then turns to face me.

Once Tim leaves my office, I walk toward the door, turn the lock, and yank on the cords to the faux wood blinds, releasing them to cover the picture window.

Turning back to Julia and the crisis at hand, I take a seat again and clasp my hands on my desk. “Okay, Juls. The urgent notification came in, and I called you right away.”

“Let me see it.” She comes around to my side of the desk, sliding herself onto it.

I flip open the laptop with the notification on screen. “Here.” I point to it.

In bright red letters, the title reads: URGENT, URGENT, URGENT. The rest of the message says, There appears to be a possible breach of users’ private information. Your attention to this matter is needed immediately.

“Well, fuck, Decklan. How did this happen? You said you had the best security software on this client. What failed?” Julia stands with her hands on her hips, glaring at me.

I hate it when she acts this way. She knows damn well I do everything I can to protect all our clients, but for this particular client, I made sure security was top notch. Impenetrable.
