“Go get ready.We have to leave in two hours.The Maison security team is not stepping through the front door if you’re in a towel,” I rasp, taking the letter while my other fist clenches so I don’t reach for her.
She frowns.“That happened one time, and I told you it was because I’d been waiting for the replacement crystal for my chandelier.”
Not good enough.
“If you were my wife, I’d chain you to our bed.”
Fuck, I wasn’t meant to say that.
Or think it.
But I do.
I have imagined her in my bed when I wake up each morning.Wondered what it would be like to live together, eat together, sleep and make love every goddamn day.
A sparkle starts in her eyes, and I know I’ve awoken the beast within her.I know what she wants.
My mouth.
My cock.
“If I was your wife, I might like you to chain me up.”
A growl creeps up my chest, and she hears it, creating a confidence she shouldn’t have as she steps closer and plants her hands on my chest.
I close my eyes at the pleasure of her warm touch.
“Are we going to talk about this?”
“Probably not.”
When her gaze darts away in disappointment, I do the one thing I shouldn’t.I take her chin in my fingers.“Don’t read anything into that.”
“The comment or the chains?”
Both.
“Fuck, Tiff.”
Her breathing is labored, our bodies creating a firestorm between us, taunting us to take just one more tiny step.
To lean in just an inch.
“I never make the first move,” she confesses, blushing.
“You like a dominant man.”Shut up and stop talking, Jayden.
“Yes.”Her cheeks heat as she steps away.“I won’t do it again.”
“Roger that.”
Her message was received loud and clear.If I want to fuck Tiffany Stallone, the next move is mine.

WHILE TIFFANY IS gettingready, I FaceTime Ryder and the team back at BHS headquarters.
Tonight’s going to be a huge test, and I’m glad my buddies are going to be there.The right thing would be to tell Josh and Aidan I’m unfit to work for them.Especially after my anxiety flaring a few times this afternoon.
