Kirk nods as she meets him at the door. I have no reason or excuse to follow her after I hand the bag to her assistant. So I head to my room, disappointed but still eager for a chance to be alone with her again.

My mind goes back to the black card. KNK.

It’s been a long fucking day, so once in my room, I turn the AC down to freezing, kick off my shoes and toss my clothes.

Pulling up the right app, I quickly order Ivy and I something to eat as I do every night. Whether she eats it, I still don’t fucking know ‘cause she doesn’t say anything. Not a single word. For all I know, she tosses it or refuses the delivery. I always ask them to include that it’s from Harris, but I don’t know if they do or if she gives a shit.

Still, I order myself a shit ton of protein and her something I hope she likes.

When my mind can relax again, it goes back to the card.

I google it but get no results.

Then I hear a knock at the door. Thinking my food is here early, I jump up to check.

I don’t make it far before I spot the black card with gold letters shimmering in the dim light. Lying on the floor waiting for me.

KNK.

Okay, I’ll bite. Reaching down, I grab it.

There’s a website on the back, and I pull my phone so fast I drop it.

Taking a breath, I log onto the site.

And a world I never realized existed opens to me at my fingertips.

CHAPTERSIX

Ivy

With each step I take, I feel more confident. This is exactly what I need.

My little black dress is both classy and cute and makes me feel like the sex kitten my publicist wants me to be.

But Karen would not approve of my actions tonight. No, tonight isn’t for my brand image. It’s just for me.

Tonight holds all my wildest fantasies.

I just have to be brave enough to experience it.

My heels click loudly on the marble floors of the room I rented. It’s not my hotel room, but part of a scene. Tonight, I’m putting on a performance I hope empowers me. Since the scandal, I’ve felt lost. I haven’t been able to be with a man since the last one betrayed me.

Things will be different after tonight, though. I feel it in the air, and hope rises in my belly.

I leave the lights off as I walk up to the large bay windows and look across to the old Salem law firm, the second location in my naughty game.

Moving to the bedroom, a rush of adrenaline runs up my spine.

Per my request, a king-size mattress sits pushed up to the floor-to-ceiling window, covered in pillows.

Moving closer, I see a black bowl with frosty purple grapes inside. I shed my coat and look out the window to the person watching me. All I see is a dark office building, but I know he’s there.

Because I know he’s watching me, I make a show of unzipping my dress and slowly pushing it down. I place it over a chair, so it doesn’t wrinkle, and then in nothing but a black lace bra and thong, I move to the bed. The moonlight is beautiful, but I worry it’s not enough.

Without hesitating, I turn on two of the four small lamps set out around the mattress. Then move a few pillows and lay down comfortably.

My nerves are still making me a bit uncomfortable, so I reach for my phone and turn on a calming playlist. It’s sexy and smooth. The beats set the mood, moving through me with both a relaxing effect and a horny one.
