With that parting note, I watched him stroll right out of my hotel room.

“Son of a bitch,” I growled as I walked to the door and flipped the security latch.

Before I made it back to the bed, I removed every stitch of clothing and had my fist wrapped firmly around my cock.I fell onto the bed, stroking myself hard and fast, needing to release some of the pent-up pressure.Even if Edge wasn’t sexually frustrated—which I questioned—I was.Between my dates with Jamie this week and Edge’s unexpected appearance tonight, I felt as though my damn head was going to explode off my body.My own hand couldn’t sate me fully, but it was all I seemed to be getting these days.

I closed my eyes, thought about them both as I jacked off.I had only one goal in mind.

And five painful minutes later, I achieved it, a deep growl following my release.

EDGE

The weekend passed in a blur.Theclub had been packed, which kept me busy.It didn’t help that two of our recent training class graduates had managed to cause an uproar—complete with name-calling followed by a hand-to-hand brawl—on Saturday evening over a Dominant they’d each spent time with, resulting in both of them being walked out and told to never come back.There was no room for that sort of jealousy at the club, and I’d told them as much.

While I generally worked at Dichotomy on Monday to prepare for the week, I’d come in to the Chatter office today because Justin had requested my presence.I’d come in early, hoping to slip out midday, but ended up staying, sitting in on one meeting after another.

Just when I thought they were over, Justin appeared in my doorway.

Looks like you’re about to be summoned.Again.

“You have a few minutes?”he asked.

I leaned back in my chair.“Sure.What’s up?”

“Meeting.My office.”

Another one?Maybe they want to discuss the last one.

Since Justin was my boss, I wasn’t about to tell him I’d prefer to sit this one out, although it was the truth.So, when Justin headed down the hall, I got to my feet and followed.

When I stepped into Justin’s office, I found Zeke, Landon, Langston, and Ben reclining, chatting amongst themselves on the two couches that formed a comfortable seating area.While my office was larger than it needed to be, it wasn’t the size of Justin’s.Or any of the other partners’, for that matter.The amount of space they had would’ve allowed me to live in my office.Full-time.

“Looks like a party,” I said as I took the only available spot across from Ben.

“Not for a few more days,” Landon stated with a smirk.“I hear Halloween’s on at the club.”

That it was, but to be honest, Halloween was one of my least favorite holidays at Dichotomy.It didn’t seem to matter how much effort I put into it; there was always drama.I detested drama, hated it with a passion.

“So, I brought you here for a reason,” Justin said as he took a seat in the oversized lounge chair on the end.“As you’re all aware, Zeke recently brought Cav on for his department in an official management position.After some discussion, we figured it would make sense for Cav to handle the hiring and firing of employees in their division.”

“Not simply because Cav’ll do a better job,” Ben added, a teasing note to his tone.

“But he will,” Zeke stated with a devious grin.“He likes people.I don’t.”

“So you say.”Ben sobered, glanced around at the players in the room.“We’ve decided to bring Zeke on as a partner, heading up the global information security division of Chatter PR.The fact of the matter is, we wouldn’t have this division if it weren’t for Zeke.It only felt right to give him a stake in the game.”

Wow.That was … interesting news.“Congratulations,” I told Zeke, genuinely happy for the guy.

Zeke nodded his thanks.

“As you may know, we’ve also brought Ramsey on as a partner, and he’ll be running the talent division on his own.”Justin’s eyes shifted to my face.“And we’re finishing off the expansion by offering you a partner position as well.”

Hold the presses.Is he serious?

“Me?”I was confused.“What are you talking about?”
