“I figured that out when I saw the signs on the highway.” He’d promised her a surprise, but gave no details. “Can you tell me where we are and what we’ll be doing here this weekend?”

“Curious?”

“Julian!”

“Okay.” He laughed. “We’ve been so busy lately, and my work has caused more stress than I would have liked these past few weeks. You’ve been more than patient.”

“You never neglect me.” She took his hand, hoping he understood that she didn’t mind his work schedule. “I can deal with busy.”

“I wanted to give you something different this weekend. A surprise I hope you’ll enjoy very much.”

“Tell me what it is.” She bounced in her seat. “I let you torture me with your secret, but now I want to know where we are and what we’re doing here.”

“Torture is an interesting word.”

“I’d rather have the playroom torture. At least I know what to expect in there.”

“Sometimes.” He arched a brow. “I like to keep you guessing in there too.”

“I give up.” She giggled, but stopped when she caught sight of a man coming out of the house and down the steps. “Is that...”

“Yes.”

“What’s he doing here?”

“This is his house.”

“Master M lives in Connecticut?”

“When he isn’t in Manhattan.” Julian opened his car door. “Let’s not keep him waiting.”

“Waiting for what?”

“You’ll see.” Julian kissed her forehead before stepping out of the car.

Master M tugged on the handle of her door and opened it. “Kayla.” He greeted her with a pleasant look in his eyes. “I’m thrilled you’re here.”

“Thank you.” She took his hand and slipped out of the car. “Your home is lovely.”

“It’s a fantastic retreat for when I get overwhelmed with the stress of the city.”

“You don’t strike me as a man who gets overwhelmed often.” He kept her hand in his as they walked up the path to the porch.

“The city can get to the best of us. I like to have a place to come to where I can unwind. Switch things up a bit. I hope you’ll see what I mean.” Master M turned and greeted Julian who was retrieving their bags from the trunk. “I’m glad you could make it. I hope traffic wasn’t too bad.”

“We made good time for a Friday afternoon.” Julian joined them on the porch. “Kayla is eager to know why we’re here.”

“You haven’t told her?” Master M stared into her eyes. “Interesting.”

“I thought the intrigue would add to her anticipation.”

Julian tucked her hair behind her ear, eliciting a chill from some place deep within her. Something about the two of them being this close to her made her anxious. The last time the three of them were together, their activities got more intimate than she had expected. Memories of that night in the playroom left her wanting more than she thought she should. She would feel guilty if she hadn’t confessed her feelings to Julian.

“Why do you think you’re here, Kayla?” Master M asked.

“I’m not sure, Sir.” She had several fantasies that she quickly played out in her head.

“I think you have an idea,” Master M continued. “Drop your guard and allow the forbidden to enter your mind. Think of the possibilities once the three of us walk through my front door.”
