It started with a question. "If I asked you to be still and quiet like a good little toy while I fucked you, would you do it?"
Oh, Cat Dukas had done it. She'd also agreed to a casual arrangement, though getting involved with a criminal mastermind wasn't the wisest idea.
Six months later, she's no less drawn to the dangerous, inscrutable Danton Quintero. The problem is ... she can feel herself becoming a little too attached. She might tell herself that she doesn't want anything serious, but she knows it's a lie, just as she knows he'll never cross the casual line. Distant and remote, he holds himself apart from the world.
Cat is left with only one option: Walk away before she finds herself even more wrapped up in him. Which she truly would do if he'd only stop making it difficult. As it turns out, Danton doesn't easily part with what belongs to him.
Chapter One
An upsurge of blinding pleasure tore through me as I came hard, arching off the desk, scratching at Danton’s back. Grunting into my neck, he dug his fingers harder into my thighs as he pitilessly rammed into me over and over, plunging his thick cock so damn deep it took my breath away.
I felt his dick pulse and thicken inside me as his thrusts turned more erratic. He bit out a curse, his hot breath coasting over my neck. Then he slammed home and exploded.
My breaths ragged, I slumped against the desk that he’d earlier planted me on. Utterly sated, I felt somewhat boneless. I was so limp that not even the anxiety I felt at what I would soon have to do could make me tense up.
I closed my eyes, letting myself soak up Danton’s warmth, weight, scent, and the wash of his breath against my throat. I’d never feel any of it ever again. I’d never feel him inside me andoverme like this ever again. Our arrangement was officially a thing of the past.
He just didn’t know it yet.
Letting my head loll to the side, I opened my eyes. This particular private room within the Vault’s basement was an executive office. And what was the Vault? An exclusive 24-hour club located in Redwater City. There were several floors, eachcatering to different tastes, including a Burlesque floor of all things—I went there reasonably often with my friends.
The basement—which required a separate membership—held a massive appeal for those who liked … sexual freedom, for lack of a better term, with its themed private rooms and casual attitude to public raunchy activities. It was typical for members to claim others, thus entering into arrangements where each belonged to the other within the confines of the Vault.
I’d entered into one with Danton just over six months ago. As such, at this point, we’d utilized pretty much every room within the basement. There were only a few we’d skipped, since they’d held no interest for us.
It was in this very club that I first met Danton Quintero. I’d heard plenty about him before that and even seen him from afar a time or two. Being someone whose business dealings weren’t all above board, he was part of the same ‘world’ as my father. That alone should have been off-putting for me, but the moment Danton’s eyes had first locked with mine, a delicious shiver had raced up my spine.
Personally, I didn’t think I could be blamed for that. I really didn’t. After all, he was quite a sight to behold. A tall, sensual, walking enticement. So big and broad and so very male.You couldn’t look at him and notwant.
His piercing, shrewd eyes were dark and bottomless as a gaping abyss, making a girl feel like she could honestly drown in them. His strong, stubborn jawline hinted at his commanding, imperious nature. Lickable light brown skin stretched over pure hard, roped muscle. His sleek, short hair the color of soot was never anything but perfectly styled, much like the man himself. I thought he might have some Spanish somewhere in his ancestry, but I wasn’t sure.
I’d never seen him in anything but a suit. He always looked so impeccably neat and polished and masterful, like aman built to be served. But his elegance held a predatory edge that betrayed the danger in him.
The first night we’d met, he’d recognized me instantly—I’d sensed it. So when he’d crossed straight to me, confidence in every step and exuding an arrogance that was somehow sexy, I’d expected him to ask about my father. But he hadn’t.
Instead, there’d been a minimal amount of small-talk after which Danton had tossed out a question: “If I asked you to be still and quiet like a good little toy while I fucked you, would you do it?”
My answer had been a simple, “Yes.”
Mere minutes later, we’d ended up in a private room where he’d lavished the kind of attention on my body that no man ever had. We’d been meeting up at the Vault ever since.
At first, I’d wondered if he’d merely homed in on me because he’d thought he could pump me for information about my father, Jorge. It had just seemed kind of suspicious that, knowing who I was, Danton had approached me of all people when he had his pick of women.
He’d never once questioned me about my family, though. He also didn’t mention his own private business or hint at either of our ‘worlds.’ Here, we were just Cat and Danton.
Not from this night onwards, however.
Danton lifted his head to meet my gaze, his dark eyes all languid and warm. He palmed one side of my face as he drank in every detail of it almost greedily. “Fucking perfection,” he said in that deep, smooth-as-honey voice he always pitched low.
I swallowed. He said it so matter-of-factly. Like it wasn’t so much a compliment as an observation on his part.
“You good?” he asked, skimming his thumb over my cheekbone.
At moments like this, I could genuinely believe I mattered to him. But that warmth in his eyes wouldn’t last. Never did.
I cleared my throat. “Yup.”
He slightly narrowed his eyes, skeptical. That was the thing with Danton. He was very attuned to me—it was a side product of how we liked to play, I supposed. During sex, I mostly remained still and quiet. He had to be able to read me at all times. Though he trusted I’d speak up if something was wrong, he wanted to be able to sense a potential issue himself.
