This time I didn't even try calling him first.

Now, standing at the front door of Club Red, I step past the doorman with a nod in his direction. After the conversation I'd had with Rico about how only club members are allowed in, I fully expect the doorman to try to stop me.

But he doesn't.

So I walk into the club with my head held high. The music throbs deep in my bones, and I take in the usual sights, this time without slowing down or hesitating for even a second. Though there are plenty of interesting activities happening, I have one mission in mind.

I'm here to find Rico and finally tell him how I feel.

I like the man. As cold and cruel and awful and savage as he can be in business, he has a soft spot toward me and I trust him. I have no doubt that he wouldn't do anything to take advantage of me. Maybe I'm making a mistake, but I’ll only know that for sure when all is said and done. Right now, I'm choosing to trust my intuition, and my intuition tells me he's someone I can

    She doesn't so much as pause while pulling her skirt up over her hips. “There's nothing you can say that I want to hear.” There is strength behind her words, but also a hint that she’s been broken all over again. “I'm so embarrassed. I knew from the start I shouldn't have done anything with you, and you just proved me right. I should have listened to my gut.” She almost sounds angry at herself and I watch her move around the room, feeling completely hopeless to fix this situation that I caused. “You might have cost me my friendships, my dignity, my integrity, hell, maybe even jobs. Because once this gets out, it's going to look so bad that I slept with a client.” I can hear her fuming as she pulls her shirt on. With quick fingers, she fixes her hair, then stops to glare at me. “I don't ever want to see you again. I'll finish out your office because I agreed to and you're paying for it. But after that, I don't ever want to see your face. Don't call me, don't contact me. I don't want

    Troy It's not even about winning the bet anymore. It's not about satisfying this craving I have for her. Because sleeping with her didn't end my desire for her like I expected. I don't give a damn that I won the bet. I care about her. When she'd come to me and told me about her ex, about what she'd done, about how she'd slapped him and ran straight into my arms, I realized that I want to be her safe haven. I want to be the person that she can turn to, the person she can trust when she feels like her life is a storm. Now I want to be the one that she comes to when she needs to blow off steam. Because sex with Bella was the best sex I've ever had. I've never let a woman be in control like that before, and yet I knew somehow that she needed to lead. She needed to be in charge, and relinquishing the reins to her was the most vulnerable I've ever felt. It's an addictive feeling, a powerful one, one that I want to repeat as often as she’ll let me. On the flip side, I'm worried about

    My control dissolves. I kiss him, the move desperate, hungry, intense as the adrenaline in my blood mingles with the fear I’ve felt. I feel him start to pull away, but I hold him closer. “Don’t go,” I whisper against his lips and he hesitates. A moment later, his control seems to snap and his lips press tighter to mine. I feel him pull me closer, squeezing me so tightly it's hard to breathe, and his hand wraps up in my hair, pulling with just enough force to have my heart pounding and my body wanting more. “I won’t let anyone hurt you, little one.” He whispers the words in the space between us and I feel my body start to melt. I'd slapped my ex. I'd refused to let him make me a victim again. I'd stood against him. All of those thoughts leave me feeling almost giddy and make me wonder if I need more therapy. But still that sense of power thrums in my veins and leaves me hungry for more. This isn't Troy deciding for us that we're going to sleep together. This is me deciding that

    Bella After my really close near miss with Troy, I've been careful to avoid staying at his place again after that first night. My cheeks still flush beet red every time I think about how close I'd come to letting him do anything he wanted to me... and I’d wanted him to. It's been a week, and his office is looking amazing. I've bumped into Konan and Hunter a few more times and both have asked me out in their charming ways, but I’ve turned them down. And now, as I'm sitting at home, getting ready to head back over to Troy’s place to work on his office, I find myself humming a little tune as someone knocks at my door. Without hesitation. I stand up and head to the door, still preoccupied with the plans for the day. But when I pull the door open, my heart stops beating in my chest. “James?” He might be the last person I expected to be standing on my doorstep, but I guess I shouldn't be surprised. As easily as he discarded me, I should know he'd be willing to come back and upend my

    She shudders slightly, a sigh leaving her lips. “I want you to do all those things.”As she whispers the words, I feel my body tighten up, ready to give her exactly what she asks for, until she speaks up again.“But we both know we can't do that. Your ex-wife is my friend. I currently work for you. And you're just not my type.” Even the gentleness and her tone doesn't take the sting out of her words. I've never considered myself not her type before, but I guess it makes sense.“Keep telling me the reasons why we shouldn't and you're just going to make me want you even more. What's forbidden is extra delicious.” Of course, I'm not saying the words with any intent to pressure her, I'm more just continuing to speak because she asked me not to stop. But at my words she lifts her head and stares into my eyes.“You are absolutely terrible and totally right. But I think it would be best if we stayed strong and stuck to our convictions.”I'm not about to let her put this on me. “You mean that

    TroyI know for a fact there's more to the conversation she had on the phone earlier than she was willing to tell me.I meant every word I said. I don't like not knowing what's going on for one, and two, I don't like the feeling that she could be in danger. Wandering through the workspace that is my office around ladders and toolboxes, equipment and boxes, I think about how it's going to look when it's done and continue thinking about Bella.Something really bothered her earlier. One of the things I don't understand is why I care. The whole plan was just to sleep with her; there's no reason for there to be any deeper feelings or meaning to our interactions.But I can't seem to shake this need to protect her. The confusion has me running circles in my own mind, and I don't like the indecision that it causes. Trailing a fingertip along a box, I lift my head and glance up at the ceiling. This space is going to look completely different, just like my life after having Bella in it. She som
