Talon dropped me off at Jonah’s, and I had been home only a few minutes when the doorbell rang.
When I opened the door, I had to stop myself from dropping my jaw to the floor. Outside stood one of the most beautiful women I had ever seen. She had auburn hair and blue-gray eyes. She was slightly shorter than I was and was dressed in hip-hugging jeans and a T-shirt that showed a sliver of belly along with her ample breasts. She had full and pouty pink lips, and her eyelashes were long. I didn’t see any indication of mascara.
“Yes, can I help you?”
“I’m looking for Jonah Steel,” she said in a high-pitched voice, reminiscent of Minnie Mouse.
At least something about her wasn’t perfect. She sounded like a little kid.
“He’s not here right now.”
“Oh.” She turned her lips into a frown. “I’m only in town for the evening, and I really want to hook up with him.”
Hook up? I didn’t like the sound of that.
“Like I said, he’s not here, and I’m afraid I don’t know when he’ll return.” Unfortunately, that was the truth. He hadn’t called me back, and I had no idea whether he’d gotten my voice mail. “You want to leave a message for him or something?”
“Actually, do you mind if I come in? He still has some stuff of mine that I want.”
My hackles rose. “Who are you?”
“I’m Kerry. Kerry Ross. Joe and I used to…date, I guess.”
Kerry.
Jonah had told me about Kerry. They had dated for a while, had frequented the BDSM club together. She had wanted him to be her Master, not just in the bedroom but in all of life. I looked her over. She didn’t look like a slave, but what did I know? I had never met a slave before, at least not that I knew of.
She was so beautiful, so perfectly formed. Except for that voice of hers, she had no flaws at all. Jealousy surged through me.
“I don’t know. Like I said, he’s not here, and I have no idea where your things might be.”
“Oh, don’t worry about that. I know exactly where they are.” She walked past me and into the foyer.
I couldn’t believe it. She barged into what I now considered my own home.
“Excuse me? I’m not sure I should be letting you in here.”
She gave me a dazzling smile. Even her teeth were perfect. “Oh, I know he won’t mind. I’ve been meaning to stop by for a while now and pick up all the stuff.”
“Why don’t you tell me where it would be, and I’ll get it for you?”
“Honestly, it’s no bother. It’s just downstairs.” She walked into the kitchen and to the other wing of the house, one I’d hardly ever been in. She opened a door, which led down to the basement.
I walked down the stairs behind her. I knew Jonah had a basement, but I’d never been in it. I’d had no reason to go down there. It was finished into a beautiful rec room, complete with a pool table, a big-screen TV, and a full bar. “Wow, this would’ve been a great party room when I was younger,” I said.
“Oh, I know. Joe and I used to have the best parties down here.”
The envy lanced through me again. He had parties with her down in the gorgeous room that I didn’t even know existed?
She walked toward a door near the end of the room. She turned the doorknob. “Shoot, it’s locked. No worries, I think I still have the key.”
She had a key to a room at Jonah’s house?
She pulled a key chain out of her purse and unlocked the door. She walked in as if it were perfectly normal to do so and flipped the light switch.
And I gasped.
“What is this place?”
