He ended the call and turned to find Rylee slipping on a dress.

“Excuse me?” he said, his tone low and menacing. “Did you forget the rules?”

She paused with one arm in the dress and the other out. “Oh. I didn’t know we were still following those.”

He frowned. “Are you my submissive?”

“I would like to be your girlfriend,” she said, still half wearing the dress.

Memphis gave her a half smile. They clearly still had some things to talk about.

“Oh, Ace. Don’t you know, you can be both? Get the dress off before I get the hairbrush back out.”

The dress slid to the floor again, and he crossed the room to her. “The rules still apply, lover. Though you can wear clothes downstairs because security will be down there. If you want to renegotiate when I get home, we can.”

He settled his hands on her naked hips and pulled her to him for a kiss.

“OK. We can talk later, then,” she murmured.

“Good girl. I’m sorry I have to leave you like this. Stay here unless it’s an emergency. I’ll make sure your friend gets here.”

She nodded and with one more kiss, he turned and walked out hating that he was leaving a beautiful naked submissive in favor of confronting Andrew.
