Instead of explaining why I broke one of the clauses, I walk up to the pole and start the show. The metal feels cold against my clammy palms. Xavier’s eyes stay unmoving on me as I spin up the role in tune with the music. With my legs wrapped around the pole, I drop back and let my arms free. Even upside down, he is beautifully pissed off. Once I gracefully reach the bottom, I grab the pole with both hands and show off my best moves.

When my robe naturally slips off, I let it fall to the ground. Unlike most men, his eyes stay glued to my face – they don’t move to ogle my breasts or ass. It’s oddly attractive.

His stony reaction only pushes me to see how much it would take for him to waver. I drop to the floor and crawl towards him, maintaining eye contact the whole time. Xavier continues to watch with no reaction.

My hands creep up his legs but purposefully skip over his crotch. They feather over his torso and neck before threading through his hair. With my entire body flush against his, I grind my hips just as my favourite song begins to play. Xavier keeps his hands at the sides of his body, not pushing me off but not encouraging me, either.

“You haven’t been at work for a week, Miss Hayes.”

I flip my body so my back is against his front. I lay my head in the crook of his neck as my hips rock in sync with the music.

“I’ve been off sick,” I lie. There was no way I was telling him the truth.

“You’re here,” he points out. “Do you enjoy breaking the rules, Miss Hayes?”

I continue my assault as euphoria comes over me from the friction between our bodies. I know I should stop when I feel the wetness soak my underwear, but Ican’t.

His hands grip my waist with unnecessary force, and it turns me on. “You’re testing my patience,” he murmurs into my ear.

I don’t know if he is talking about breaking the rules or the fact that his cock feels like it might burst.

He pushes me down against his body, and an involuntary moan slips out.

Before I can blink, he flips us around so I am under him. He stands between my legs and leans down so his face is right before mine. I am consumed by his musky scent.

“If you ever step foot in this place again, I will chain you to a bed for the next year,” he threatens.

I smirk at him. “I quite like chains, Mr Rivers.”

His eyes darken. “Don’t test me, Savannah.”

I undo another one of his buttons. “Come on,” I whisper. “This ismyterritory. Let’s negotiate on my terms.”

He steps away from me and leans against the pole. “You haven’t been at work for five days.”

I sit upright and cross one leg over the other. He doesn’t look away from my face. “What are you doing here?”

“I was worried when I didn’t see you at the coffee shop for a few days. I went to your apartment to check on you, but you weren’t there.”

“How did you know I was here?”

He checks the time on his watch. “I tracked your phone,” he says casually. “Why have you been off sick?”

If he could find me here, it would only take seconds for him to find out I no longer have a job. Maybe if I explained the situation, he would let me keep my job here. It’s not ideal, but it would be enough. At least until his payments start.

“I quit.”

“Why?”

I wave off his concerns. “It wasn’t the right fit for me anymore. Plus, the manager is a bitch.”

I have never found men in suits appealing, but Xavier makes everything look attractive. His fingers softly stroke his beard as he is lost in his thoughts.

“I’ll release the first payment into your account tonight. You aren’t coming back here.”

His authoritative tone annoys me. The surrogacy money was meant to pay off my debts. It wasn’t supposed to be myonlyincome.

“One payment isn’t going to do shit for me, Mr Rivers. I have bills and debt to pay. I need a second income.”
