“We should get out of here,” I said in a hoarse voice. “The club will open soon, and then the rooms will flood with people looking for their pleasure.”
“I have work I need to do,” she said. Her voice was breathy, and her eyes filled with a primal lust that mirrored my own. She felt it, too—the lust, the magnetic pull between us.
I cleared my throat and stepped away, and Oaklee hopped off the platform.
“Thanks for the tour.” She reached for her drink. She threw it back the way I’d done with mine. Was she struggling with control, too? Or was she just in a hurry to get back to the office?
“I can show you when the patrons are here,” I offered. “I’d love to give you the full experience.” The words came out with double meaning, and I didn’t want to take them back. Thefull experiencewas exactly what I wanted to give her, balls deep inside of her, pounding into her so that she knew exactly who was her alpha.
I shuddered, my stomach tightening, but shoved the thoughts away.
You don’t do this. She’s just another female.
The truth was, though, she wasn’t just another female. I couldn’t just fuck her and leave her behind, leaving disaster in my wake, either. How could I turn my back on her when she was slowly becoming…
I didn’t want to finish that sentence for myself.
I didn’t know what it was about her, but I didn’t react this way to other females. Giving up females, so I didn’t end up like my dad, had been easy.
But I hadn’t ever felt this kind of draw.
It had just been sex.
With her, it would be so much more.
Which was exactly why I had to stay away from that. Good thing I abstained, so it wasn’t ever going to happen.
“Good luck with your busy night,” Oaklee said when we walked to the door.
“Thanks,” I said. “I’ll see you around.”
She offered a small smile, the corners of her mouth raised slightly, and walked to her office. I watched her walk away, her hips swinging from side to side. I could take a bite out of that delicious ass.
Don’t start,I reprimanded myself and headed toward my office to take care of business. As long as I stayed busy, I could keep her out of my mind. She was just a hot commodity because she was new. In time, that would fade.
For my sake, I hoped that was true.

OAKLEE
Acouple of weeks passed, and the initial sense of danger faded. It was always like that—no one could run on a high of adrenaline all the time, and the more time I spent at the club without anything going wrong, the less worried I was that something would happen.
Jameson hadn’t figured out who I was yet, and I figured he never would. He hadn’t dug into my past because I was just a secretary.
Nadia and I had both been pouring over the papers, looking for something else that might be a better fit. A job that didn’t have so many strings attached could be a good idea.
The problem was that I hadn’t found anything I liked. I hadn’t found anything that paidremotelyas well as Jameson paid me, and I wasn’t exactly eager to leave the club. The work was exciting. It was just administration, but Jameson had me sit in on more and more meetings.
Meetings with vendors for alcohol, toys, bedding. Meetings with government agencies to renew permits and licenses. Marketing and PR meetings where they discussed marketing strategies and social media.
I was shocked to realize that a place like Sapphire had normal advertising like any other business. It had been such a taboo thing in my mind, I’d imagined any information about the place would be circulated under the table or something.
The more Jameson and I worked together, the more attracted I was to him—if that was even possible.
He was a hard man, cold and calculated when it came down to business, but he wasn’t like that as a person. I felt more and more like I was his personal assistant when I attended these meetings, taking notes and offering input when he asked for it, than just a regular administrative assistant.
“Well, that was a waste of time,” Jameson said after a meeting with a promoter who wanted to use one of our themed parties to launch a new line of lingerie and toys.
