She twisted her lips as though trying not to say what she wantedto say. Then she lost the battle. “Feels like it sometimes.”My immediate instinct was to take her comment personally, but Ididn’t want to argue with her when we were close to saying goodbye,and when I let myself think about her position, I totally understoodwhy she’d feel she had to mother me.“I’m sure it’s a hard habit to break,” I said stepping out of theelevator ahead of her. I’d meant to let it go at that, but I turned backto her instead of walking on to her door. “I’m ready to have you justbe my sister. I need you to be that more than my parent these days.”She wrapped her arms around her body and frowned a moment.But then the lines around her mouth relaxed and her lips turned intoa small smile. “As long as you still need me.”“I’ll always need you, you psychopath.”We walked silently toward her apartment, both of us in ourthoughts. Then, when she opened her door and held it open for meto go inside, she

Again, Aaron rolled his eyes. “It wasn’t a big deal. We just went tosee a show, is all.”Dylan hadn’t told me where Aaron had been. I hadn’t thought itwas my place to pry. Now, I asked, “A Broadway show?”“Jacksepticeye and Markiplier had a meetup. They’re YouTubers.Like, they…” Aaron trailed off, as though trying to think of how toexplain them.I helped him out. “I know who they are.”“You watch Jacksepticeye and Markiplier?” His eyes lit up for thefirst time since meeting him.“Oh, no. No,” I said too quickly. “I know who they are, but I don’twatch them.” I wasn’t about to admit that I’d been at many a partyhosted by someone in the art department where everyone got highand watched video-game commentators and funny things pets did.Even not saying it, my cheeks went red. How immature was mylife that I related so closely to Dylan’s son? Proof that he was agrown-up, and I was just a kid myself.“Anyway,” I said, regretting the conversation. “I hope it was agood time.”“It wa

I didn’t want to be that callous of a human. I refused to be.I stopped short on the pavement and turned to my son. “I’vereconsidered. You can walk as long as you go straight home. Nodallying.”Aaron beamed with gratitude then scooted on his way.And, with a sigh, I retreated back inside to do what must be done.If I was going to put a stop to this farce of a situation with Audrey, itwas best to do it quick and fast. Best not to leave her waiting.She was at the window when I stepped in. I knew she’d heard mearrive. Her head had shifted toward the sound of my footsteps,though she didn’t completely turn to face me.That made this easier.“I think we need to reevaluate,” I began.But she spoke at the same time. “I didn’t mean to come so early.I…” She pivoted in my direction. “I’m sorry. Go ahead.”“You first,” I prodded, determined to remain the gentleman.“I...just…” She pushed a lock of hair back from her face. “I gothere earlier than I meant to, for which I truly apologize. I

I lifted her into my arms, carrying her like a child to the bedroom.“You aren’t going to take me all the way in front of the windows? Ithink I’d like that,” she murmured as she kissed along my jaw.“I’m sure you would, you naughty thing. But I’m quite sure I wouldnot.” My confliction had a line, it appeared. New York City did notdeserve the pleasure of her naked form.I set her on the bed, still rumpled from the last night’s restlesssleep, and tugged off first one boot, then the other. She watched me,rapt, as I followed with the removal of her jeans.“I like being undressed by you,” she said, when she was only inher bra and panties. “I like how you’re completely focused on me.”I couldn’t not be. It was impossible to look anywhere but at her.She was exquisite and engaging. Irresistible perfection.The wonder in her comment made me guess that no one hadever given her the attention she’d craved. What stupidity existed inher world? Boys pretending to be men, unsuitable and unwo

And I wasn’t yet finished with her.I sat on the edge of the bed and pulled her to sit on my lap. I lether ride me reverse-cowgirl style while I licked the back of her neckand pulled at her nipples. When she tired, I spanked her upper thighthen gripped her hips and moved her body for her. She came again,stuttering my name, a sound that made me wild with lust.I couldn’t resist anymore—I had to watch her face.Again, I shifted her, laying her back onto the bed. I knelt in frontof her, my knees driven wide. With my hands gripping her ankles, Ispread her legs apart. She was completely on display now—the twistof her facial features, her tits as they bounced to my unrelentingtempo, her pussy as it swallowed each and every one of my cock’sthrusts. This time I didn’t have to tell her to touch herself, she justdid, her eyes locked on me as she stroked horizontally across her clit—she was a quick learner. The best of students.“This,” she said, her gaze glossy. “I really like this.

It wasn’t the first time I had recognized my desire to submit. When we’d met several months before, Amber had uncovered my longing to yield. To please. To surrender.But this time her command had also awoken my sexual tastes. She had summoned a creature to life inside me – a deeply seated beast with an appetite for carnality and a desperate need to be stroked as she knelt at the foot of the one who would feed her.It was then I caught the first glimpse of the person I would become, and the role Amber would play in my life as the first master I wanted to please.CHAPTER 1My feet moved automatically, pulled by a force that couldn’t be simplified with a label of compassion or curiosity or obligation. I crouched in front of Reeve and took Amber’s limp wrist into my hands. My body was present, going through the motions of a concerned friend, but my head was in a fog. The smell of sex still lingered in my nose, the orgasms Reeve had given me still rang through me, low and wide, like the fa

Joe, it seemed, was still skeptical. After months of investigating, he’d only found more incriminating evidence. Evidence that tied Reeve to the Greek mafia and a sex slave ring that Joe had been certain Amber had wandered into.I thought of her bruises and shuddered. Joe was probably right.“What happened?” I asked him, not wanting to know but needing to all the same. “Where did you find her?”“With Vilanakis.”Michelis Vilanakis, the mob boss who I had pinned as a lowlife villain. It was the name I’d expected. Amber was last seen with him. Reeve was also connected to him – I’d seen pictures of the two at various events, as well as a few e-mails to Reeve from him.“You just swooped in and rescued her from his house in Chicago? Or…” I left the question open-ended, not able to imagine what the scenario had been.“I got lucky actually.” He shook his head, demonstrating his incredulity. “Really lucky. I’d been tailing Michelis for three days before I saw her. I didn’t even realize who sh

The men Jeb had sent for supplies were coming in as I left the room and by the time I returned with ice packs, Amber had been hooked up to an IV and fluid was dripping down the line into the vein at her wrist. Her eyes were closed. She was either asleep or almost there so I didn’t disturb her. Instead, I handed Jeb the compresses, then sat on the love seat near the bed and watched, helpless.I was actually grateful for that helplessness. Of the myriad complex emotions that were weighing on me at the moment, helplessness was the easiest to carry. It was the one I knew.Brent returned with the oxygen tank as well as a heart rate monitor. Reeve came along with him, taking a perch on the opposite arm. Together we watched as Jeb and Brent hooked Amber up to the machines. We didn’t speak or look at each other. Tension buzzed between us like a fly caught in a closed room. I was desperate to know what he was thinking and feeling. Was he as focused on her as he appeared to be? Or was his mind
