Her smile shifted to a grimace. “How did you know it was Tommy?”

“Nothing happens on my side of the city without me knowing about it, Rose, you should know that by now.”

It’s how I caught her sneaking into clubs on the Moreno side of the city in the first place which started our dangerous fling.

“Look, I can sleep with who I want, when I want, Roman. You’re not the boss of me.”

“That’s where you’re wrong, Rose.”

I felt her shiver, my hands on her arms as the goosebumps appeared. She was turned on by me possessing her.

“You love me that much?” she queried. The question threw me off guard for a moment. She couldn’t really think a few rounds in bed would mean I could love her. The one thing I was incapable of was love. That was the rule.

No love.

She knew better.

“I don’t love you, Rose. I am incapable of it as you should know. I simply don’t have women testing my patience. When I tell you to be in my bed, you are expected to be naked and sitting on my bed waiting for me.”

Rose sighed, shifting her eyes around to make sure no one had caught on to the fact she was talking to me.

“I like what we do, Roman, but I am a free woman. If you’re unable to love, then maybe you shouldn’t be tied to just me.”

I chuckled at the fact she thought she was the only woman I played with. She was suddenly aware of the power I had over her. Tommy had been a ruse, one she had tried to use to make me jealous but there was no way I would start a war with the Caldwell’s over her. I liked what her body did to mine, and that was it.

“Now, come home with me and pay penance for disobeying me.”

She scoffed at me and pulled from my grip. “You have no say here, Roman. I am a Caldwell and these are my people. There is no way you have any control over me.”

I shifted my weight to one leg and leant against the fern, waiting for her to run back to me and apologize. Like she always did.

My cock was getting hard at the thought of her groveling for me to forgive her but it didn’t happen this time. She was bold enough to walk toward me, her eyes glinting through the glittery mask she had on. “You always say you can have any woman you want in the city, our side or yours. Well, good luck finding someone to do the depraved things you love so much in bed because my body is now out of your control.”

“Really?” I replied. “You want to wager a bet?”

“No bet, because it’s unfair to you. You’ll never find anyone who will submit to you and make you happy.”

She was probably right. I was never happy, and truth be told, if she hadn’t defied me the other night, I would have gotten rid of her in a few weeks. As much as I liked the fact she would let me do things to her that no other would, she wasn’t the only woman I could tame to my will.

“I think I will and I’ll find her here.”

Rose crossed her arms over her chest, pushing her cleavage up. The wench thought that was what would win me over but I wasn’t a pubescent boy with no experience.

I turned around and gazed upon the guests, looking for the body type I craved. I felt the tension coming off Rose in waves as she stood next to me. I moved out from behind the fern and continued to scan the crowd, loving how annoyed she was getting beside me.

That’s when I saw her.

The one without a mask.

She was wearing a sheer white mini dress, her legs tanned and full. She was by no means a twig and that’s exactly what I liked. I could see she had big breasts, probably bigger than her back would allow, and she had the most beautiful brown hair, with strands that looked as if they were golden. She was standing next to the man I knew to be Caldwell’s new advisor, Paul. He was meant to be royal, but I’d never known anyone royal in these parts. He did have an air of pomposity though. The girl was young, but not too young. She’d be perfect.

I smirked at the fact I’d found my mark so soon. Turning to Rose, I looked back at the girl briefly before telling Rose I’d found her.

Rose’s eyes widened. “No. Not her.”

“There’s no rules here, Rose. You closed your body off to me. Now it’s time for me to take my new pet.”

I moved away from her before she could speak again, leaving her steaming. She tried to reach out to stop me but I moved my arm out of her way before she could. I loved that I had that effect on her. As I rejoined Bennett, I kept my eye on my brunette goddess.
