“Don’t overdo it, or you’ll have less of a load left for tonight.”
He continued up to his floor, leaving me staring at his bare arse as it moved away up the stairs.
The dickhead had a point.

I slid the tiny white pill across the table. She picked it up without a word and swallowed it, washing it down with the last of her orange juice.
“Did you enjoy last night?” I asked as she set the glass back on the table.
Her neck and chest flushed pink before the colour crept up into her cheeks.
She’d woken just before noon. I’d spent the morning reviewing the room feed from the night before. But it was one moment in particular that held me—the second Alec whispered that he could see through her pretence. I’d frozen the footage then, studied her face frame by frame. The flicker of apprehension. The resignation that followed. The way her body went still as he licked her cheek.
Her fingers tightened around the glass as her gaze dropped.
“Yes.”
Barely audible.
I decided to help her work through those inhibitions.
The humiliation was a bonus.
“Join me in the bedroom in ten minutes,” I said, pushing back my chair and standing.

I’d positioned the armchair beneath two cameras and stripped naked before sitting down. My lighter, cigarettes, and phone were laid out on the small table beside me. With a smirk, I sent a message in the group chat.
Me:Ella’s show is in five minutes.
Rowan:What are you planning?
Alec:I knew you couldn’t wait until tonight.
Rowan:Come to my office and set it up on the big screen, Alec.
Alec:We’ve got hours before we get home.
Rowan:We can finish after the VIP event is finalised.
Alec:True. On my way.
I watched the replies come in rapid succession until the door opened. I placed my phone face down on the table as Ella approached me cautiously.
“Take your dress off,” I said, pointing at her.
Her eyes flicked up—but never higher than my dick. I took a cigarette from the packet and lit it while she undressed. She laid the black dress neatly on the bed and waited.
“Underwear as well,” I added, blowing a plume of smoke in her direction.
I knew the smoke irritated her. She never challenged me over it.
My phone vibrated.
Alec:We’re watching.
