She was coming up here.What the hell had happened?Why hadthat asshole taken one look at her and rejected her?She was simply the moststunning woman in the place.
He turned, watching as she climbed the stairs in herstilettos.She moved as though she was used to walking in what had to befive-inch heels.He would bet she was quite petite, but those heels brought herclose to being as tall as most of the men around her.
She might come to his shoulders.Maybe.
His gaze caught on her as she stepped into the lounge.Shesmiled at the bartender, who seemed to know her, but she waved him off andstarted toward the railing.
Then stopped and simply stared his way.
Low and sexy hip-hop played through the whole space, forminga soundtrack that could absolutely be used for sex, but it all faded into thebackground as he got his first good look at her.
She was every bit as gorgeous as he’d suspected.
She turned suddenly, and he realized he wasn’t going to lether go.This was the most he’d felt in forever, and he wasn’t willing to endit.He could be intimidating, but he could also charm a lady.He suddenlyreally wanted to charm this one.
Before he could take a step toward her, she turned again,and there was determination in the way she strode toward him.
“Hello, Sir.”She stood in front of him, her shoulders backand chin up.“You must be new around here.I wanted to welcome you to TheHideout.If you have any questions, I’ll be hanging around tonight.I know theplace very well.”
So she was a regular.It made him wonder what kind of dramawas going on with her that the other Doms seemed to back away.And then he hadto admit he didn’t give a shit.She was standing there, and it was obvious ithad taken some courage for her to get rejected and try again.
Brave sub.Gorgeous sub.
There it was.His cock tightened for the first time inforever, and for a moment it felt like he could breathe again.He hadn’trealized how tight his life had become, how like a vise it felt around hischest until this moment.
She’d asked him to come to her if he had questions.He hadone for her.
“Do you have a partner for the night?”Nate asked.
Gorgeous green eyes flared behind her elaborate white mask.“Do I… No.I don’t.”
“Would you like one?”He could feel the fucking heat betweenthem.He had to hope the heat he felt seared them both.
Her head nodded.“Yeah.Yes, I would, Sir.If you’re thepartner, I would like very much to play.”
He held a hand out, and when she placed hers in it, he knewthe night would change everything.
Chapter Four
Daisy looked up at the man who could only be Nathan Carterand placed her hand in his.Her breath had caught the minute she’d seen him,and she’d been a freaking teenaged girl with a crush all over again.
She knew she should tell him who she was, but names wereoptional tonight.If he’d wanted to get to know a woman, he would have come ona night when they didn’t all wear masks.
Though the mask hadn’t helped her with Gabriel Lodge.He’dmoved in and started to ask her to play when he’d realized who she was.
Nate didn’t seem to have the same instincts.Of course hehadn’t spent almost every Saturday night with her for the last couple of years.
“You can call me Sir.What should I call you, sweetheart?”His hand enveloped hers.
That accent went straight to her pussy, or maybe it was howheat sizzled along her skin where he touched her.He was so big and strong hemade the other men look like boys.“You can call me Dee.”
She wasn’t about to sayHey, I’m Daisy O’Donnell.Youremember the awkward kid who followed you around and wrote our names togetherin notebooks with hearts and arrows?No way.
She wasn’t Daisy O’Donnell tonight.Tonight she was Dee, aneager to please sub who might get an orgasm from the big bad Dom this evening.
Though Daisy was always an optimist, she had no delusionsNate Carter would fall in love with her.He might be horrified if he ever puttwo and two together, but after her talk with Carys tonight, this might be herlast hurrah at The Hideout.When Gabe had looked horrified to even see her,she’d made the decision to change clubs.She needed somewhere people didn’tview her as a joke.
So she had tonight, and she was going to make it count.
