“I’m glad my misery is giving you entertainment.” I take another big bite out of my slice of pizza.

“Wait…misery? Has he been an ass? Treating you badly at work?”

“No, it’s not that. It’s just… Did you miss the part about the best sex of my life and how I can’t have it anymore. I got it once. And now I’m forced to go through life having mediocre sex that will never match up.” I sigh and throw myself back on the sofa.

“That’s dramatic. Even for you. Okay, so why can’t you have it again? Does he not want a repeat performance?” Claire asks.

“No, he does. But he’s my boss. I can’t screw my boss,” I tell them.

“But you already have, so that argument is lost.” Eloise laughs.

“The first time didn’t count. I didn’t know he was my boss,” I argue. “Also, I think he frequents that club.”

“What do you mean?”

“He invited me to go back there. Which reminds me… How exactly do you know about that place?” I ask Eloise pointedly.

“I know the owner.” She shrugs.

“Right.” I roll my eyes. She’s evading.

“So why don’t you just go back and meet him? It’s not like you’re in the office,” Claire suggests. “Or at least give a girl a picture and name, andI’llgo meet him.” She laughs.

“Tequila, that’s what I need, not sex. I can live without sex,” I lie.

How the helldid I let them talk me into this?Again.I find myself standing at the entrance to Fire and Ice, the guest card burning my fingertips.

Squaring my shoulders, I push through the door. I’m doing this. But not for the reasons my friends may think. I’m going to find him, return this ridiculous bracelet, and go home.

Alone.

She came. She fucking came. I really thought I was grasping at straws inviting Dani here tonight. I had no expectation that she’d actually turn up.

She’s here though, wearing a sexy-as-fuck black dress. I can see her nipples hardening under the fabric. Is she turned on already?

My eyes scan the interior of the club. It’s hard not to be turned on by the erotic scenes that surround us. None of which have anything on how one look at her has my cock standing to attention. Ready to perform. For her.

I watch her from my spot in the corner of the room. She’s taking everything in as her eyes flick from surface to surface. Searching for me. So I push to my feet and walk up behind her. My arm wraps around her waist, pulling her back against my body, my hard-on pressing into her ass.

“Little girl, you’re late,” I growl into her ear.

She lets out an audible moan as her body sinks into mine. Then, suddenly, she turns around and steps out of my hold. “I wasn’t planning on coming,” she says. “Sir,” she adds with a small smirk.

“I’m glad you chose to…come, that is.” I look down at her arms. “Why aren’t you wearing the bracelet?” I ask her.

“Because I can’t accept a gift like that. You’re my boss. I only came to return it.” She pulls the bracelet out of her clutch and hands it to me.

I hold it up. “This is what keeps you from being approached by other men. This tells everyone that you’re mine. You can’t be in here if you’re not wearing it,” I tell her.

“Don’t worry, I’m not staying.” She walks right past me towards the exit.

It takes me a few seconds to comprehend what just happened. Rejection is a new thing for me, something I’m not going to accept. I don’t lose. Anything, and Dani Hutchinson is a prize worth fighting for.

I follow Dani out of the building onto the street, step up next to her, and take her hand. “Come on,” I say, pulling her in the direction of my car.
