“The one I got letting me know a cake sample was on its way. Some Russian lady—”

“Russian?”

Shay appeared in the doorway. “Sorry to interrupt, but I think this is connected with what happened today. The place we visited.”

Yes, buddy. I’m already steps ahead of your annoying ass.

My visit to The Dionysus Club hadn’t gone unpunished.

Mia glared at Shay. “This is our private space.”

“Hey,” I chastised her. “Apologize.”

“It’s fine,” said Shay.

I reached over and lifted Mia’s chin. “What was in the envelope?”

She pulled away from me and leapt up. I rose and moved fast to block her from running out.

“Please, let me go,” she whispered.

“Leave us.” I shot Shay a look to let him know I meant it.

He held my stare for a beat too long and then turned and left. I’d deal with him later. Shay was uneasy from having shared his secret, though the fact I was in a committed relationship should have been enough for him to know the chances of anything happening were slim. Still, this issue was ailing him and if I didn’t get to it soon it would become a liability.

I went over and closed the door. “Mia, did someone say something to you about me?”

“Forget it.”

“No,” I said firmly, “you don’t get to change the conversation. Not after that outburst, madam.”

“You don’t get to talk to me like you are all high and mighty after what you did today.”

“I am high and mighty.”

It made her chuckle, but then she turned serious again.

“What did I do?”

“Time to confess.”

“Mia.” My voice carried enough authority to rein her in.

She trembled and fell against me. I peered down at her realizing this was fear and pushing her for more could result in her shutting down. Letting her open up naturally was essential no matter how much I needed answers. There was always another way with her and all paths led to domination.

“I need to remind you…” I said darkly.

Slowly, her gaze rose to mine.

“I’m in charge here.” I gestured to the bed. “In here I rule.”

Her stare fell away.

I lifted her chin again. “It pleases me that you’re still wearing my bondage.”

A soft blush covered her chest.

“Good girls get their reward. You know that.”
