Itexted back, and began preparing for the distraction I really craved for.

‘Get out,’ I unwrapped my hand from Shelly’s hair, zipping my pants straight back up.

It wasn’t like I had a jealous girlfriend on the way, but I was a perfectionist. I usually imagine things develop in a certain way therefore I didn’t deal too well with plan changes.

And with Bea, I needed to get her to agree to my proposal before I would lose my fucking temper and shoot someone.

The failure with Shelly was scaring me. Sure, I would have slept with her eventually, but the frustration generated could have only made me a ticking time bomb.

Luckily for her, she was smart enough to figure out something was wrong and knew better than to question my command.

‘Do you want me to return later?’ she asked while trying to wipe her dripping mascara.

Iprobablyhurt her feelings. And I certainlydidn’tcare. It wasn’t like we had a relationship. She was just a name on a list. We were just having occasional sex and since that didn’t seem to work out for me any longer, she was history.

My answer was pretty predictable, but I felt she needed to hear it out loud to be able to get over it and out the door. A decisivenomade her return to serving drinks for the night.

I was just finishing fixing my clothes when the door opened again, this time for Bea to let herself in.

‘This is a surprise. I didn’t expect you would show up,’ I spoke in a totally relaxed tone, even if I was miles away from being so. I was burning with fucking lust and that was making it difficult for me to assert domination over her. Difficult but not impossible.

‘I may not be as weak as you think.’ She was trying to look brave but I felt herweaknesslike a shark detecting a drop of blood in an Olympic swimming pool. I was attracted to her fragility. I fed on her shortened breath and increasing pulse.

‘We’ll see about that,’ I snarled, unable to restrain myself from analyzing her. I was irremediably mesmerized by the way the tight black dress she was wearing was molding on the sexy curve of her breasts, revealing a cleavage I longed to thoroughly explore.

And it seemed I was having the same effect on her as she had on me. Trying to still a thirst that could not be put out with any kind of liquid except the one of her ecstasy, she asked for water. I knew that thirst all too well. It had silently tormented me ever since I laid eyes on her back at Randy’s office.

I couldn’t allow her that privilege. I know one might say it was only a glass of water. But I needed to get her there, in the same misery I was rolling in, even if I didn’t realize it right then.

However, I did offer... okay, forced her to have a drink with me, hoping that the intoxicating fumes of alcohol would get her to loosen up.

Grinding her teeth, she brought us both drinks, placing the glasses on a small coffee table by my side.

Everything was a test — one of patience and endurance, so I could know how exactly how I was supposed to play the game.

‘Let’s hear it,’ I demanded, yearning to learn the reasons for her visit, although I already knew what brought her in front of me.

‘I need my family.’ Her lips were trembling as she said it, pouring another glass in my bowl of power.

I had her in the back of my pocket. ‘Take a seat,’ I spoke, feeling myself more relaxed than ever, knowing exactly what my next move would be.

Bea didn’t understand my request, looking at a chair located in the other corner of the room. In a way, I didn’t even want her to understand, making the shock of what I was really asking that more satisfying. ‘Not there.’ I tapped my lap, showing her exactly where I wanted her.

The fright in her eyes was giving me my money’s worth as I was becoming her master. Still, I saw her hesitate, unsure of what she should be doing next, run or surrender.

‘Don’t keep me waiting,’ I muttered, rushing her to comply. I needed her to acknowledge how these things worked — my wish was her command. As simple as that. She was just a pawn in a game. The sparks of fuel I needed to carry on doing what I knew best — rule.

With sheepish steps, she approached me, slipping into my lap so we could finally carry on with our evening.

‘Go on.’ I was giving her the push she needed to continue with what she had to say. ‘You have five minutes before the show will start, so we better get this over with.’ Oh, did I have a surprise for her... Even if I hadn’t prepared it for Bea, it couldn’t have come at a better time.

‘I need you to get them. I want them here with me,’ her voice was filled with sorrow.

The kind of sorrow that divides subjects from kings.

The kind of sorrow that empowers me to have her kneeling in front of me.

‘You do understand what this implies?’ I couldn’t stop from gloating at the thought that I would soon add her to my collectible list.
