We stared at each other.
I had no idea what he made of that, but I instantly felt gross for saying it. For so many reasons.
But it was the truth, wasn’t it?
And sometimes the truth just plain sucked.
Sometimes, the truth hurt, in a way you didn’t even see coming.
ChapterTwenty-Seven
Jolie
Shane studied me for a long, breathless moment. He didn’t say anything more about my jealous outburst, though.
He just slid his hand around my throat and tugged me to him for a kiss.
“Hello, Shane.”
Someone walked right up to us and interrupted, just before our lips could meet. Someone curvy and blonde.
Verycurvy.
I blinked at this husky voiced woman with the luscious hair and expensive jewelry, who clearly knew the man who was holding me right now. She wore a strapless black leather catsuit—and she was spilling out of it. Her cleavage was not meant for those demi cups. If she inhaled too sharply, her nipples would probably pop right out.
It was like my petty jealousy had conjured her right out of the ether or something.
She had to be ten years older than Shane. She looked regal and sensuous, and like she’d crush a man’s balls beneath her stiletto heel for talking back to her the way I talked back to Shane all the time.
I was pretty sure I was in the presence of a world class Domme.
“Hello, Jess,” Shane said casually. He barely glanced at her. His hand didn’t even leave my throat. “This is Jessica,” he told me.
Don’t give anyone your name,he’d instructed me.
“Hi,” I said. I would’ve saidNice to meet youor something, but this situation was way too weird for that. At least, it was for me. Maybe other people were slightly more comfortable.
As Jessica looked me over from head to toe, she said easily, “A pleasure to meet you.” Then her eyes landed on Shane and stayed there. “I haven’t seen you in a while.”
“I’ve been busy.”
A while? What did a while mean? The last two weeks while he’d been fucking me? Or like, a long while?
I desperately wanted to know what the deal was between them, but Shane was still holding my throat and I barely dared move.
“Are you coming to play?” she asked him. “I’ll be giving a little demonstration in one of the rooms later. You can bring your guest.” Her eyes grazed over me again.
Guest.She knew I was new. That I didn’t belong here.
That I was an outsider.
“I can always use some assistance with my demonstrations,” she added.
“No,” Shane said. “We’ve got plans later.”
She smiled knowingly. “I’m sure you do. Well, enjoy your night. And your… plans.” Her gaze drifted over me again, then settled on him for a long, breathless beat before she turned on her heel and sauntered away.
I met Shane’s eyes. “She knows you’re a Dom?”
