“Good.” Tension fell from his shoulders as he leaned back in his chair. “Enjoy your time off.”
“Thank you, sir.”
Opening the door, I walked from his office, ignoring his secretary Shelley as I hit the button for the elevator. If Baron wanted me to take some time away from the office, then I would, but I couldn’t guarantee that he’d approve of my plans. Fortunately, the D.C.I. only had authority over my actionswhileI was working. What I chose to do with my free time was none of his business.

Standing in front of the mirror, I spun, inspecting myself from another angle.
“I don’t know why you bother, beautiful.” Kade’s chuckle danced around me. “You look incredible whichever way you turn.”
“Thank you, Master.” My lips curled at his compliment, though I didn’t glance in his direction. “But I think you might be a little biased.”
“That’s my prerogative,” he answered. “Though I can’t say I approve of your attire. It covers too much of you.”
“Itisfor work, Master,” I reminded him, smoothing down my skirt. It had been a while since I’d worn anything so formal. I scarcely recognized myself without his collar and other accessories.
“I know.” He sighed. “But even so.”
“Youareokay with this, aren’t you?”
Whirling to meet his stare, I walked toward him. A part of me still loathed having to ask for permission to do what I loved, but if he was having second thoughts, I wanted to hear about them now and not on Friday morning.
“Okayis a strong word.” Stretched out in his leather chair, Kade smiled as I neared. Reaching for me, he beckoned me forward with one finger. “I accept you need work to fulfill you, but do not appreciate the time apart.”
“I understand, Master,” I replied, brushing my hand over his.
“I know you’re going to make me proud, little girl.” His silver eyes shone as they met mine. “You’re going to do an awesome job for Julia.”
“I appreciate the vote of confidence, Master.”
“Good.” His fingers entwined with mine. “Then, after a long day serving your new mistress, you’ll come back here and serve your master.”
“That’s not quite how it will be in Chambers.” I laughed at how he managed to twist everything to make it sound sexy and immoral. “But yes, Master. I’m still yours.” The muscles at the apex of my legs clenched as I remembered just how much I was his.
“Damn right you are,” he purred. “Now, get out of that outfit. My little whore should be naked.”
“Of course.” Untangling myself from his grasp, I focused on the zipper at the side of my skirt. “Is there anything you’d like to do with the weekend, Master?”
“You.”
I shook my head at his predictable response, glancing back at him. “Anything else?”
“No, little girl.” His tantalizing lips twitched. “I have everything I need right here.” He gestured around the room. “What about you? How are you feeling since you moved in here with me permanently?”
“I’m very happy, Master.” Shrugging the skirt from my hips, I stepped out of the fabric and held it aloft as I reached for the hanger. There was a certain solace in the confession, a recognition that, despite everything Kade and I had been through, we’d carved out a slice of bliss for ourselves within the walls of Barrington. “I like it here.”
“I like it more now that you’re with me,” he answered. “I don’t see so many ghosts waiting around every corner.”
“Master.” Leaving the skirt on the nearby counter, I returned to his side. “I worry about those ghosts.”
“Don’t.” His hand snaked around my backside, squeezing my tender cheeks as he continued. “I’m working through my past.”
“Are you though?” I hadn’t meant to say the words out loud, and my hand rose to cover my mouth as I realized that I had.
“That’s a bold question.” One of his eyebrows arched at my impertinence. “It makes me wonder if I’ve been too lenient on you since you arrived.”
