I turn to look into the jewelry shop I’m standing in front of, trying to weigh my options. I could give Grayson tonight.
One night.
I could switch, just like I’ve done in the past. Get it and him out of my system. Then tomorrow I can do my job for my brother’s and my primary business. Owning the tattoo and piercing parlor was both of our dream. Owning a BDSM club was just so that we could have a safe place to play. Our club is exclusive and very few people know we are the owners. But our tattoo parlor is well known in the area and on the East Coast. It’s time for us to break into the big time. Leif did an expo in Chicago, but it wasn’t a competition like this one. I’ll get advertising in a national tattoo blog and so much more.
I took a shower earlier to remove the stench from flying. Now I’m using my large barrel curling iron to add big loose curls and waves to my hair. I spritz on some of my favorite lilac body spray before I slip on a lacy black thong. My makeup is dramatic with my eyes lined in a sweep in dark black and my lips in a flat mauve color. My dress goes on next. I use double sided tape to hold the deep V in place. I don’t need to wear a bra because my breasts are small, and I don’t wear anything that covers my nipples because of my piercings. My nipple shields are made up of a jeweled bar and ring that wraps around the bottom of my nipple. I move to the closet and grab my black designer pumps with the sexy red bottoms.
I’m slipping my phone, card, ID, and some cash into a small clutch when the doorbell chimes. Moving across the living room, I stop at the bar and take in my reflection in the mirror. I look sexy and definitely ready for some fun. The chime rings again, and I hold my hand to my stomach to keep the butterflies at bay. I can’t believe I’m nervous. I’ve never been like this with a man.
I use most men for a good time and then move them along. I don’t do relationships because what’s the point. Everyone leaves you. My parents proved that when they dropped us at my meemaw’s. They only cared about themselves until she died. Then they wanted her money because they’d blown through all of theirs traveling around the world.
Closing my eyes, I try to center myself until a hand hits the door hard.
“I’m not leaving, princess.” Grayson’s deep voice breaks through my nerves.
I stomp over to the door, pissed because now he’s going to be all gruff and demanding. I throw it open.
“You didn’t look in the peephole. Next time look and make sure it’s me and that I’m alone,” he growls as he pushes me into the room. His hands go to my waist, and he holds me tight. As if he’s afraid I’m going to go away or something.
“I heard you. So I knew it was you already.” I sass back to him.
He’s dressed in a different suit. This one has a black vest and a maroon pocket square, and he’s wearing a matching tie.
“Don’t take your security for granted. This might be a secure floor, but what if some thug was using me to get into your room.” His body vibrates with anger, and I realize he’s serious.
Raising my hands, I brush them across his wide chest and skate them along the soft shirt. When I look up into his eyes, he’s looking down at me with an intense look. I step back, but his hands hold me tighter and pull me into him more.
“There are dangerous people in this world. You can’t trust everyone, princess.” His forehead drops to mine, and I take in his spicy male scent along with the other things that seem to just be him. “I want to kiss you so bad, but I know when I start kissing you, I won’t stop. I’ll take you in this sexy black dress against that wall, then on the bar, sofa, and shower before I spread you out on the bed and feast on you.”
His words are barely a whisper, but I hear them, and my body starts to respond. I grip the front of his suit, fisting his vest in my hands. I tip my head back, my lips opening on a sigh.

Grayson
I look downinto her beautiful, dark chocolate brown eyes. Her lips are calling to me, but then we won’t leave, and I have plans for her. I pull my head away from hers, but I must have a small taste. I kiss her forehead, my tongue sliding out to sample her skin.
She huffs out a deep moan, and I continue to withdraw from her. I don’t want others to see her, but I also need to make a statement that she is mine. I’ve decided showing her off can happen later; tonight it was just going to be she and I. I take her soft, delicate hand that has small callouses from holding her tattoo machine and lace our fingers together.
While she was getting ready for the next couple of days at the expo, I watched her from every camera angle I could from my office. I also had a complete dossier pulled on her. I know a lot, but I didn’t read it all because I want her to tell me. I also didn’t have Ley pull it. I had my local guy do it. I don’t need Ley getting into my business any more than she already is.
Erika clutches a small purse in her other hand as we move out of the suite. I made sure this floor was secure, and Ilya has been keeping an eye out. We enter the elevator, where I press the button for the main floor. My fingerprint on the pad shuts off the cameras, just in case I can’t control myself and I take her in the elevator. I programed that when I was in the system earlier setting up some other special things.
When the doors slide open, I lead her out and through the lobby to the main entrance. I could have taken her to any of the many restaurants here in the hotel, but I’m not ready for her to know everything about me, and sometimes people have loose lips. I’ve decided to take her to the Top of the World Restaurant at the top of the Stratosphere. The limo is waiting for us, as well as Ilya and another guard.
“Where are we going?”
“You’ll see.”
I hold the door open for her as a chill races down my spine. I look around but don’t see anyone. It’s gotta be that I have this beautiful woman and men are jealous of me being with her. I take one more look and notice Ilya doing the same before I slide into the back with her.
“Champagne?” I offer her a glass.
“Please.” She nods as the word softly passes her lips.
The drive from the casino takes about twenty-five minutes with the traffic. I ask her questions about where she’s from and if she’d ever plan to move away. It bothers me that I only have until Tuesday with her, and it’s already Thursday. That isn’t long enough. When the limo finally pulls up, I step out and hold my hand for her to take. Again, I lace my fingers with hers when I have her out.
Even in her high heels, she’s still very petite and delicate. I love the feel of her skin, and the hints of lilac and her are driving me crazy. If I don’t fuck her soon, I’m going to go insane. I tried to take myself in hand before I came to her suite, but I couldn’t get myself off. All my body wants is her. I release her hand to open the doors as we make our way to the elevator that will take us to the top.
