“No more than I, sweet one,” he said, his voice dark with lust. “I will look forward to seeing you again soon. ”
“Ian. ” She turned back to him, ignoring the dangerous stillness of his body. “Goodnight. Perhaps I’ll see you in the morning. ”
“I think not. ” He surprised her.
He moved quickly, standing before her, tall and broad and aroused as he stared down at her, blocking her way to the stairs.
Courtney lifted a brow mockingly. “It is rather late, Ian. ”
She was aware of Khalid watching the byplay with hot interest.
“Did he touch you?” There was no jealousy in his voice, but rather avid hunger.
“And would you care?” she asked him with a smile, a deliberately sensual curve of her lips, rather like the one she had seen her mother giving her father when teasing him unbearably.
She watched his eyes darken. His gaze flickered to Khalid.
“Did you touch her?”
“She belongs to you,” Khalid said softly then. “I know the rules of The Club, Ian. Even those unspoken. ”
Fire bit into her nipples as Ian’s gaze flickered to them.
“Such games you play,” she said with a sigh. “I thought you were a bit more honest about your desires, Ian. Such whimsies do not become you. ”
She frowned as she moved to the side to pass by him. He was there again, shifting to keep her in front in of him.
“I’ve wondered this evening,” he said, his hands reaching out to slide the shoulders of her jacket from her. “If you are as brave, as courageous in your desires as you appear to be. Are you, Courtney?”
“It would appear more so than you, Ian. ” She shrugged the jacket off herself, allowing it to fall to the floor at her feet as he gripped her arms, less than gently, turning her quickly and half-carrying her into the living/receiving room he had vacated moments before.

Courtney had no idea what happed to Khalid. To be perfectly honest, at that moment, she really didn’t care. Others had no place in this first confrontation between her and Ian. No audience was needed in this first, subtle battle that would decide if she would become special to him, or merely the little girl who forced him to take her to his bed despite his best intentions.
He was fighting sheer habit, that she knew. His friendship with her father changed the rules for her, made taking her more difficult for him. She had to win this first confrontation, prove to him that she was more, that she was different from the others. It wasn’t his lifestyle that drew her to him, as it was with the other lovers who had sought him out. It was Ian, his touch, his heart, that drew her. The rest was merely a sweet little fringe benefit.
She twisted out of his grip inside the room, swinging around to face him as he stared at her with dark, glittering eyes.
“What now?” She propped her hands on her hips as she watched him, allowing a daring smile to shape her lips, a challenge, one that said she didn’t believe he would follow through with whatever wicked thoughts were racing through his mind. And they were wicked. She could see it in the heavy sensuality that tightened his expression, the way his eyes narrowed on her.
That look speared straight to her pussy, causing the cream gathering in her vagina to ease slowly along the bare folds beyond.
“What do you think?” Ah yes, he was angry. She could see the anger pulsing inside him, mixing with the arousal, pushing his boundaries, testing his control.
She lifted her shoulder negligently. “I have no clue, Ian. Should I strip for you?” She spread her arms wide. “Or should I go to my knees for you? I’ve not truly researched the proper rules of a submissive, as it’s not the role I intend to really play, so perhaps you should tell me what is expected of me next. ”
Her arms fell to her sides then as she stared back at him questioningly. Not that she expected much of a fair answer from him. If she knew anything about angry men, it was that they would cut their noses off to spite their faces. They were stubborn, arrogant, and more likely to deny the obvious than to admit to it. Such stubborn creatures, she sighed regretfully.
“You think being such a naughty little girl is cute, don’t you, Courtney. ”
Oh shit. How had he picked on one of her favorite fantasies so damned fast? It was one that often left her wakening, damp with perspiration, her thighs quivering with the need for release, the cheeks of her ass clenching in remembered heat as she dreamed of his palm landing heavily on her rear.
“Am I being naughty, Ian?” The fingers of one hand moved to the small emerald ring piercing her navel as she played with it with studied laziness. “I thought I was quite well behaved. Of course, you always have the option of punishing me. Would you like to punish me?” She deliberately adopted a softer, more innocent tone as she allowed her eyes to widen in mock surprise. “Spank me,” she breathed seductively. “Spank me so good. ”
His gaze glittered, wilder, hotter.
“You think you know me,” he growled then. “You think your soft little dreams are safe with me and this is all a game you can play. It’s not a game, Courtney. This isn’t a sexual taste for me, it’s a lifestyle, and what I demand of you will be nothing compared to what you think you know. ”
