“Coming to say goodbye?” I ask snidely.
“Quite the contrary. El Rey will be arriving in two days. The arrangements will be made prior, all accounts approved. He will stay for one night for a face-to-face meeting. Then I will stay behind to make sure the shipments arrive effortlessly.”
“I have full faith in the company I use,” I tell him arrogantly.
“I’m sure you do, but what’s the saying, better safe than sorry. Don’t you agree, amigo?”
“Let’s get something straight.” I lean forward menacingly. “I am not your amigo. We do business. I tolerate you in my house. That’s it.” I tap the pencil I’m holding against the desk repeatedly. Riled, agitated, and on the brink of committing a homicide.
“Yo comprende,” he responds with dark eyes.
“Good. Now get out,” I bite.
Javier stands but moves slowly. “I’d like to throw a party. El Rey hasn’t stepped foot on American soil in over a decade. Let’s make his one and only night a memorable one.”
“You want to throw him a party?” I raise my eyebrows.
Javier nods.
“Okay.” I smirk deviously. “I’ll throw him a party he’ll never forget.”
“Excellente.” Javier smiles wily, then walks out of the room.
I snap the pencil in two, wishing it was his neck.
SOMETHING RAPTUROUS TOOK HOLD WHENKayne professed that he’d kill for me. He meant every syllable. I could feel the verity vibrate through my bones. Then, insanely, I dropped to my knees, and for the first time since the night he took me, I craved to please him. To sate him. I don’t know when things changed, or how they changed, but making Kayne fall apart had my adrenaline pumping and my pussy throbbing. For a split second I contemplated lying on my back and splaying my legs so he could have me, but when he grinded himself against me moments before, I knew my body couldn’t handle another punishing. My mouth was the next best thing, and it seemed to work just fine. I was especially proud of myself when his eyes rolled into the back of his head.
My time with Kayne has been enlightening, to say the least. It’s blossomed a desire inside me that I never dreamed existed. He pushes all my limits, all my boundaries, all the confines of my mind. He’s making me into someone new. Someone strong and sexual and barely recognizable. Someone who’s learning she loves to serve him.
Presently, Kayne is feeding me dinner. I’m on my knees between his legs, taking pieces of beef bourguignon straight from his hand. It’s sweet and tangy and sinfully delectable.
“Ellie?”
“Mmmm hmmm?” I suck his fingers into my mouth a little further than necessary. His breathing accelerates.
“Behave,” he chastises with just the slightest hint of menace. I quake with need.
“Yes, Kayne,” I purr.
His eyes dilate as he zeroes in on my lips and then my naked chest. He didn’t touch me last night. He gave my body some reprieve, but I fear whatever he has planned tonight will make up for the lost time.
“Tomorrow night I’m throwing a party. A very special guest is arriving,” he says. “You need to be on your best behavior. Can you be a good kitten for me?” He feeds me another piece of meat. I nod while I chew.
“Yes, Kayne,” I say after I swallow.
“Good girl. I want to show you off. I want everyone to see what’s mine. And be green with envy.” He jingles the tag on my collar, and then glides his thumb and middle finger down my delicate diamond body jewelry until he reaches the middle of my breasts. He touches one nipple so softly I barely feel it, and yet it still somehow manages to make me tingle between my thighs.
“This is going to be a party unlike any you’ve ever been to. It may be a little shocking. I want to warn you now. You know the business I run.”
I blink at him inquisitively as heat creeps over my skin. I know exactly the type of business he runs. I’ve seen it, I’ve experienced it. I fucked one of his employees because of it.
“Yes, Kayne.”
“And no one will touch you but me. Regardless of what they perceive.” His tone is resolute.
“Yes, Kayne.” My voice wavers.
“Mine, Ellie. Only mine.” He yanks my collar, bringing my lips to meet his. The kiss is gentle. Emotion filled. It floods me with confusion. What’s happening here?
