point guards flying out of my head.
“No, sir.” Her gaze lowers to the floor.
I can’t tell if she’s lying or just embarrassed, so I curl my index finger under her chin and pull her
face up to meet mine. “Is that the truth?”
“Honest, sir. I kept my hands and toys to myself. Well, away from myself.” She stares up at me
with those wide eyes and that fuck-me look on her face, and it takes everything to pull away from her.
“That’s my good girl,” I groan out, resisting the urge to rub my cock through my pants. “That’s my

under the same obligations?” I cross my arms as well, giving her a smug smile.
“I don’t have to have insurance to still be under the privacy rule. I take my job very seriously, and
that includes protecting the identity and nature of what happens behind these doors.”
For a moment, I see red. I know she doesn’t mean sexual acts, but that’s the first place my mind

my composure.
“Let me tell you who that is then, since you refuse to be forthcoming between yourself and a
