I shake my head, wincing because it hurts.“No.”I’m super leery about what he’s going to say next.
“I don’t like the location of your house.I don’t like that your car has been stolen twice.You also don’t have a car until we sort that out, and even if the police found it in mint condition this morning, I wouldn’t let you have it back.Were you planning to drive home last night?”
“No, Sir.”
He sucks in a breath.
I grit my teeth.Did I just call him Sir?Shit.Where did that come from?I’ve spent so much time imagining submitting to Myles that I just spoke to him as though he were my Dom.
I quickly add, “I was going to leave it there and get a rideshare.I promise.”
“Well, now you don’t have to worry about it because you’re grounded from driving.I took the fake ID from your purse, too.Forget about going to any bars.”
My eyes pop wide.“Grounded?Myles, I’m almost twenty-one.I’m not twelve.”
He lifts both brows.“Almosttwenty-one isn’t twenty-one.You shouldn’t have been in a bar for any reason.You’re underage.Obtaining a fake ID is illegal.If you had gotten behind the wheel of that car, you could have caused an accident and been killed or killed someone else.”
I roll my eyes.“I wasn’t going to drive.”
He leans forward.“Do you think now is a good time to talk back to me?”
“You’re not my father.”I rest back in my chair and cross my arms.
“Do you want to call him and see what he has to say about this?”
I sigh.“No.”
“No, what?”
I swallow as I hold his gaze.I can’t move or breathe.My heart is going to pound out of my chest.I know exactly what he wants, and I’m going to give it to him, but he has no idea what it means to me.I’m not using a lowercase S when I address him as Sir.I’ve done my research.I’m well aware that Myles is a Dominant.I’ve dreamed about him beingmyDom for a long time.When I call him Sir, I mean it in a totally different way than he’s thinking.
He waits, those damn brows still lifted.
I lick my dry lips.“No, Sir.”
“I didn’t think so.So, here’s what’s going to happen.You’re going to stay with me for the rest of the semester?—”
I gasp.“Stay here?”My voice rises.
“Yes.Here.After all, this is where I live, so by default, you’d be staying here.Iwill drive you to school and pick you up.You won’t go anywhere else for any reason.You have permission to use the library and the cafeteria.That’s it.I’ll put a tracker on your phone so I can check where you are at all times.If you take it off or don’t check in with me regularly, the deal’s off.If you sneak out or do anything I didn’t give you permission to do, the deal is off.For the next month, your life is school and home.That’s it.”
I grab the edge of the table.“You can’t do that.Myles, my birthday is in a week.I have plans.”
“Not anymore, you don’t.”
“Myles.”My head hurts from shouting, but I ignore it.
He narrows his gaze.“If I’m going to lie to your father for you, I want to make damn sure nothing like last night happens again.Imagine if I let you off the hook and you go out to a bar again and some asshole roofies and rapes you, or you get killed in an accident.Then what would I say to Hendrix?Huh?Oh, yeah, I picked her drunk ass up from a bar that night and didn’t tell you.Oops.”
I grab my head with both hands.This can’t be happening.It’s not just the fact that Myles is ruining my life.It’s worse than that.He’s dominating me, and it’s fucking hotter than hell.He has no idea that I have fantasies of him doing exactly this.Strict.Bossy.Demanding.
My panties are soaked.I’m squeezing my legs together, but it’s not helping.My nipples are hard.Thank God I’m wearing a sweater.I don’t even want to look down to make sure he can’t see the swollen tips.
And what’s wrong with me?Who lets their dad’s best friend take over their life and gets aroused from it?
I shove back from the table.I need to get out of this room.I can’t face him right now, and it’s for a completely different reason than he thinks.This could work in my favor.At least he has no knowledge of my private thoughts.He can mistake my actions for those of a disgruntled girl who’s pissed off that she got caught misbehaving.
“Don’t you dare get out of that chair,” he demands.
