Sasha sat on the edge of Sonny’s bed and examined his leg. “It’s looking really good, Sonny. Another week and Chas might even let you back in the club.”
His eyes were bright at the words, “do you think so?”
“I do,” she grinned, “so long as you don’t let anyone else pop it open like an infected zit again.”
“I’ll do my best. I miss my girls and my top-shelf whiskey.”
“I bet,” she giggled as she began wrapping his leg.
“Was it a good night last night?”
“It was okay for a weeknight. I was distracted because I knew Rin was taking me out this morning.” She shot a glance in his direction as a yip from down the hall, the first one she’d heard since she had carried the coffee in floated in their direction. His frown of confusion almost made her giggle but she kept her eyes on his bandages.
“What was that?”
“What was what?”
“I swear I heard a dog.”
“Maybe Ang is up. She’s a bitch,” Sasha snickered at her joke and
“Get up,” he commented quietly as he stood over her. When she shook her head, he narrowed his gaze. “I’m not asking a second time. For every instance you disobey me, there will be an extra punishment.”“Wait,” she held her hand up as she prepared to give in. “I’ve never done this.”He frowned, “what do you mean?”“I’ve never been a submissive to someone.”He rocked back on his heels, “I would have sworn you were experienced.”“In sex yes but not this type of play. The lawyer guy I dated said all the right things,” she chewed the inside of her cheek nervously. “He knew what I liked because I told him it was a fantasy to have a strong man take control in the bedroom but his version of being dominant with me was slapping me in the ass when we were doggy style. The one time he choked me he said he felt like a john with a whore and ref
With the blindfold on, Sasha considered the rest of her senses were on high alert. She could hear her blood rushing in her ears and the heat of Rin’s breath, as he hovered over her exposed body parts, was blistering. The leather of the chair felt cool against her naked flesh and her yet she felt almost stuck to it somehow as if she were glued in place. She was horny as hell and she wanted to tell him to hell with his games and to just throw her on the sofa and fuck her frustrations away. She knew he wouldn’t though. He was the master and he didn’t take orders. He gave them. She was questioning her judgement as the need for him to be buried inside her intensified with the possibility if she failed this lesson, he would keep his perfect dick to himself for the day. “Put your hands on the arms of the chair and you are not permitted to move them unless I say.” Obedience lessons were a bitch, she decided as she considered in her frustrated thoughts how much she wanted to
Rin entered the bedroom and couldn’t stop the smile on his lips at the vision in front of him. Sasha had gone to bed ahead of him almost an hour ago and he knew she was pissed off at him. She was sexually frustrated and quite probably emotionally on edge as well. She was laying in the bed, sound asleep and her thumb tucked between her plush lips. The room was dark with his blinds closed save for the light from the bathroom which cast a long line over her. He sat on the edge of the bed and studied her sleeping form. She was truly a breathtakingly beautiful woman, sleeping or awake. The dark hair and the bright blue eyes were a stunning combination and now with her hair all mussed, her cheeks rosy in sleep and that thumb in her mouth, she appeared innocent and vulnerable. Every single animalistic need in him to protect her was raging to the surface and once again he was taken aback by the strength of his desire for her. If he had his way she would be at his hip and in his d
Sasha sat at her desk in her office and frowned. It was Friday afternoon and Rin was taking her for dinner this evening and so she was putting in hours at the club during the day.“Uh-oh, I know that face,” Chastity called out from the door of her office. “What’s wrong? Trouble in paradise?”The paradise to which Chastity referred was the last ten days of being with Rin and truly feeling like they were a couple. Since their first date they had been on three other ones including an early morning walk along the strip and breakfast in a diner. Tonight, he was taking her to dinner at the restaurant in his casino. In between the dates, they had spent countless hours in and out of the sheets and her body felt like it was approaching peak condition from his attentiveness.However, not since the day she had failed her lesson had he tried to do anything more with her. He appeared to be quite satisfied with hours of normal sex but there had b
With traffic it took almost twenty minutes to arrive to the car wash and since she’d changed at the club; it was now nearly an hour since Achilles had left ahead of her. She wasn’t sure if he had arrived yet to the location but she parked in the back and saw the car they kept at the gas station for emergencies waiting. Tyrone was here and if he was tailing the robber, then it meant the robber was here. She got out of the car and made her way into the back entrance of the car wash and saw Jett waiting for her. “They got him already?” “Yeah. Nabbed him before he even left the parking lot of the gas station. Achilles is pissed. It’s been a long time since I’ve seen him this mad. He asked me to make sure I had the clean room ready for him. He knows the guy and his partner, I guess. He said he’d be back.” “Why? Who is it?” she started walking down the stairs to the basement of the building. “The older brother of his ex. He recognized the car as his ex-boyfriend’s.” “The guy he just bro
Sasha was wrapping up the rest of her day when Chas stepped back in reminded her of the time. Sasha noted she was sweaty and knew she’d just come off the stage from practicing. The girls had been fighting non-stop over who was taking a prime spot upon stage for a new routine and Chastity was defending her spot. Sasha had gone out twice to pull two of the other girls apart. Front and center meant the tips were higher. She shook her head as Chas wiped her forehead as if exhausted.“Rin is probably outside waiting and you’re not even ready yet.” Chastity leaned against the door. “Are you okay? Maybe you should have cancelled or let him know what happened.”“Chas, I can promise you, when he has to deal with business issues, he won’t be calling to discuss it with me.”“It impacts you differently than him. I’m certain of it.” She paused, “Achilles didn’t come back.”&ldquo
The car pulled up to the hotel and before she could protest too vehemently, she was being escorted furiously through the lobby, flanked by Rin, Marcello and six of Rin’s team. While his face was neutral, considering he had been losing his mind not thirty seconds ago in the car, she wondered how much further she could push him before he snapped her neck. The desire to test her limits was overwhelming as he kept his hands to himself while escorting her in the direction of the elevator.She pointed in the direction of the restaurant, “I thought we were having dinner in the restaurant.”“Get in the fucking elevator,” his lips barely moved as he adjusted his cuffs to his jacket and nodded to a staff member standing by the spotless stainless-steel doors.“What if I don’t want to?” she questioned curiously.“I swear to God Sasha, I’m ready to wring your neck,” he smiled down at her as onlookers st
Sasha ground her hips against Rin’s as she straddled him on the sofa and dug her fingers into his thick hair. He tasted of alcohol and smelled undeniably of his signature body wash she had become accustomed to. He was getting hard under her movements and his moan of approval as she took the kiss from him was exhilarating.This was a make-up kiss and she knew it. He had actually apologized for his behavior and said she was his world. She felt as if she were wielding power over the raw masculine energy of the man who was kissing her back as if she were the most precious thing in the universe.His hands were kneading her ass beneath the hemline of her skirt and he was grinding her on him roughly.“Topolina, if we don’t stop,” he broke the kiss, “I fear we will be even later to dinner.”“It’s not like they’ll cancel the reservation,” she whispered against his lips, “you do own the entire place
“This is bullshit,” Chastity complained as she wiped sweat off her forehead. “Who the hell thought it was a good idea to do this?”Sonny laughed at the woman’s misery as he patted the head of the dog who had just returned with the ball, he had tossed for her. “It’s not so bad. Could be worse.”“It’s hotter than the sun here,” Chas lifted a glass of sweet tea to her lips and chugged it like it was a beer. “I literally just took a cold shower and I’m sweaty again. Texas is too hot.”Sasha opened one eye from where she lay in the hammock and stretched, “he’s right. It could be worse. They could have brought you along on their little cattle drive and then the campout last night. Rin made them eat beans and hotdogs off a campfire.”“How do you know? Did he message you?” Chas sat up and glowered at her. “They said they weren’t bringing p
Sasha curled up next to Rin in bed, the excitement of the last forty-eight hours dissipating and exhaustion taking over. He was holding her tight, her head resting on his bare chest and his fingers playing with the silky strands of her hair as they cuddled.“You won my mother over tonight,” he said suddenly.“I did?” she was surprised.“You had dad at manicotti but the minute you put leather on and rocked out to Janet Jackson she was hooked. It seems it was one of her favorite songs as a teenager.” He chuckled, “also, she said something about being terrified of the way you command the attention of every evil person she’s ever seen. She recognized one of the men in the club as a man she and Dad ran across once in Sicily on a vacation. It seems they pissed the man off and he threatened to end them.”“Really? Who?”“Saul –”Before he could finish speaking Sasha
Sasha stood still while Rin helped peel the almost painted on leather from her body. The entire day she had waited for him to call her and demand she come home. Then she expected text messages of the same. Instead, he’d given her radio silence and she had considered maybe he had just become fed up with her wild temper and stomping out on him.Most of her day she had dreaded coming to the floor and him not showing up. Even when his application and the corresponding fee had come through, she had thought perhaps he was doing it because Sonny had asked him to. This was a place where Sonny had conducted a lot of business in his heyday. It only made sense Rin did the same.Now he was here behind her, sliding the garment over her hips and his lips pressed to her shoulder and she closed her eyes at the myriad of feelings she had. “I thought I might have pushed my luck one time too many. You didn’t call even once today and I knew you were angry about me smacking up your guy.”“Are you kidding?
The house lights lowered around the booths and seating areas and tables surrounding the main stage. They must be nearing show time, Rin considered as the crowd were making their way to tables or inching up to the bar.Rin noted the stage was massive, the big black curtains likely made of velvet were shut. While there were absolutely poles which ran from fixtures, the set-up was definitely more of a Vegas show than what he expected. It was high-end and now he understood where his million-dollar membership fee was going. When he’d balked at the fee, Sonny had laughed at him telling him it was a one-time fee and the best money he’d ever spend.He felt Marcello’s hand on his shoulder warningly and he looked up and then followed the man’s gaze. Edik Volkov was heading straight in his direction. He got off the bar stool and accepted the man’s hand but the older man pulled him into a tight hug.“Rin, I just left Sasha backstage. What
Rin was working in his office and struggling to get through the day. Sleep had been near impossible for him without Sasha laying next to him. He considered sending her a message or calling her but he wasn’t sure what he would say. He missed her but something about Regal’s warning the night before had him pausing. Give her space. She’ll come to him when she’s ready.“What are you doing?” his grandfather asked as he entered the office without knocking. “You should be getting dressed!”“We have lots of time,” he looked up and then raised an eyebrow at his grandfather’s appearance. The man was dressed to the nines. “You’re going to a strip club.”“You can’t wear jeans and a t-shirt in Gina’s, Rin.” Sonny scoffed at him. “Even your father and mother are dressed up and your sister is wearing something scandalous, or it’s how she described it.”
Rin wiped his hands off on a towel and exited the cell and grimaced at Marcello. “What kind of fool believes he can come into my house, my house,” he repeated angrily, “and try to steal from me using the little devices in his pockets.”“He’s not going to use those little devices anymore,” Marcello said smugly.They both looked up as one of their security agents came down the stairs in a rush.“Now what?”“It’s Miss Smith, sir,” Eddie said scraping his finger over his forehead. “She got upset when Tiny tried to take her out of the lounge and away from Regal.”“Did she now?” Rin exchanged an annoyed look with Marcello. “Let me guess. She threw a fit, stomped her feet, and demanded you leave her alone?”“Um, well no.” Eddie appeared embarrassed. “She said she was going to leave and was going to call her security to come
Dinner was over and Sasha and Rin were sharing a quiet moment before heading back to the suite when Marcello poked his head into the room.“Aw, don’t you two look cute and cozy.”Rin held her hand up, “she said yes.”“She had no choice,” Marcello mocked him. “She’s making the best of a bad situation in being saddled with your cranky ass.” He winked at Sasha with a grin.Sasha gave a snort of laughter at his teasing.“Can I steal your fiancé away from you for a minute?” Marcello asked her curiously. “We have a situation I know you will want to weigh in on, Rin.”Rin frowned at him, “you cannot deal with it yourself?”“Our friend you personally banned is sitting at the blackjack table. I believe he thinks you were still out of the casino this week.” Marcello met his gaze directly.Sasha noted Rin’s posture imme
“You are like a cat with a canary,” Rin laughed at her as he sat down. “You knew it would nettle him to know he had to have permission to come in with me to the club.”“I did and he does.”“You can just grant the permission or did Sonny put his name on the application?”“No. I don’t think Sonny even considered him to be truthful. I can grant the permission. I am the one who processes the applications and completes the vetting process.” She met his surprised glance with a cocky smirk.“Are you suggesting you could have let me in all along?”“Yes, but I know Sonny has been the one who wants to show off Gina’s to you and I wasn’t taking it from him. As I’ve said before, it’s not your run of the mill strip club, not that it matters. However, I know he wants to be the one to introduce you. Chas finally gave him permission to return so when he come
