“I’m sorry, baby. I really have to answer that.”
She sat up slowly as he eased away from her and sprinted for the phone.
“What?” he barked into the phone.
“Andrew is out on bail and asking to meet with you,” Jeremy said.
“Jesus, that was fast. I can meet him at the Sapphire in forty-five minutes.”
“Not at the villa?”
“No,” Memphis said. He didn’t say it out loud, but he didn’t want his former best friend in the space he’d created with Rylee. It was theirs, and Andrew wouldn’t tarnish it with his presence. Not after what he’d done.
“Whatever you say, Memphis. Where at the Sapphire?”
“I’ll call Hunter and see if he’ll lend me a conference room or an office. I’ll text you.”
He ended the call and turned to find Rylee slipping on a dress.
“Excuse me?” he said, his tone low and menacing. “Did you forget the rules?”
She paused with one arm in the dress and the other out. “Oh. I didn’t know we were still following those.”
He frowned. “Are you my submissive?”
“I would like to be your girlfriend,” she said, still half wearing the dress.
Memphis gave her a half smile. They clearly still had some things to talk about.
“Oh, Ace. Don’t you know, you can be both? Get the dress off before I get the hairbrush back out.”
The dress slid to the floor again, and he crossed the room to her. “The rules still apply, lover. Though you can wear clothes downstairs because security will be down there. If you want to renegotiate when I get home, we can.”
He settled his hands on her naked hips and pulled her to him for a kiss.
“OK. We can talk later, then,” she murmured.
“Good girl. I’m sorry I have to leave you like this. Stay home unless it’s an emergency. I’ll make sure your friend gets here.”
She nodded and with one more kiss, he turned and walked out, hating that he was leaving his beautiful naked submissive in favor of confronting Andrew.
Chapter 2
Ryleesatontheedge of the bed holding her cellphone. She’d been sitting in that exact spot for forty-five minutes and hadn’t yet worked up the courage to make the phone call she’d been dreading. Carla had gotten safely to her hotel and said she wanted a nap, so they were going to do dinner later.
She stared at the pile of clothes she and Memphis had stripped off, and a smile tugged at the corners of her mouth. She’d come to Vegas for a weekend job and a poker tournament and had somehow fallen in love. Her mom would question her judgment, and Rylee didn’t blame her. Kathleen Colton was not known for her own good judgment though, so Rylee didn’t think she had much room to talk.
With a sigh, she tapped her mom’s name and hit the green phone icon. Might as well get this over with.
“Rylee?” her mom answered.
“Hi, Mom,” Rylee said, clearing her throat. Why was she nervous talking to her mom?
“What is it?”
She blew out a breath. “It’s nothing, Mom. I’m just calling to check in and tell you I might not be coming home for a few months.”
“Months? I thought you were only going to stay in Vegas for a few weeks.”
