Sandra He takes the hint and leaves the room. I hear it click behind him and breathe for the first time in what feels like hours. I immediately walk into the bathroom, mumbling to myself about how much I want to sleep with him while reminding myself that I'm not that kind of woman.In the bathroom, I look around for any evidence of cameras, certain that a sex club would absolutely have viewing, even in private rooms. I catch sight of a tiny pinhole opening, probably a spot for a screw for hardware or something like that, but my brain tells me that that's a camera and that there is no chance that Rico isn't watching me in here.And with that thought top of mind, I do a little striptease, pulling my clothes off and setting them on the rich marble countertop. One thing is for sure, Rico spent a lot of money to make this place luxurious. With my clothes off and the warm air assaulting my skin, I feel my nipples tighten and my body begs for release.I open the glass shower doors and turn
Sandra That truth hits me like a brick to the face and I sit back, reeling in shock. Whatever it is he's trying to say, I can't handle it right now, so I put a hand up as if to stop him from saying anything else. “It's been a bit of a difficult day. I need some space and a hot shower and a chance to relax and decompress.” I can glance past him at the club, sad to think about leaving because I really do want to go back inside.“You don't want to go.” His words aren't an accusation, just a quiet statement of truth, and I stare at him, surprised.“Of course, I want to go. I just said I wanted to take a shower and decompress.”His gaze narrows. “I don't like it when you lie to me.”Those words send a shiver through me, and I settle for a half-truth. “Alright, I'm kind of in a hurry to relax. It's going to take twenty minutes to a half hour to get home, and I don't know that I have that much time in me.” It's not really a lie, but it's certainly not the whole truth either.“So why don't I
SandraRico places me delicately in the passenger seat of his car.Having him this close is almost torture; I can smell the thick scent of his cologne and feel the hard plains of his well-maintained body.I never thought I'd be in a situation where I'd be locked in a car with my boss after having watched him beat down a man for his intentions. I'm not upset. I can't say that I don't think he did the right thing, but I do think he took it too far. He could have stopped well before he did, and he chose not to. He wanted to hurt that man.His gaze meets mine as he grabs the seat belt and pulls it across my lap and shoulder, plugging it in with a click before pulling away. The odd intimacy of the gesture makes me shiver, and I tuck my legs in as he closes the car door behind me.I don't think my seat belt has ever been fastened by another adult in my entire grown-up life. It's a strange trigger for the sudden warmth gathering low in my core, and I try to ignore the feeling and what it mig
RicoShe has no idea how much danger she’s in.Green rooms are the one room I’ve considered getting rid of, just due to the liability alone, though having people sign wavers makes me more comfortable with them. Until now, someone with no idea what all the colors mean going into the anything goes room is a recipe for disaster, and given that the someone is Sandra, I’m feeling the stress and strain of needing to protect her from whatever she might face.I step into the green room only to have her slam into me. Winding my arms around her in a protective gesture, I stare down the guy approaching her. He doesn't seem to recognize who I am as he gives a twisted grin.“She’s a wily one, I’ll hold her for you if you hold her for me.” His words leave my stomach twisting in anger, and I feel her wince as if he’d struck her with his words alone. Knowing she’s a virgin, the thought of actual rape being her first experience leaves rage bubbling deep within me.“She’s not one of us, she’s just los
SandraI just stand there against the wall he’d pinned me against, breathing heavy and well aware that my boss and I just came a fraction of a second from undoing everything I’ve worked so hard for.I came into the club today with a purpose and almost left without my virginity.Thankfully, he's all business now, pacing the floor like an angry tiger, his expression telling me he’s trying to decide what to do next. I don't blame him. The Clarke contract is a big one; the company would definitely feel him leaving, and given the good will and kind gestures that Rico has given the man... I don’t doubt he’s going to be salty over this break up.Still, I'm embarrassed by my behavior and by how close we came to doing the unthinkable. The longer I stand here in the overwhelming and somehow growing silence, the more uncomfortable I get. Surely Rico thinks I'm an idiot and an easy woman. I already know that’s the kind of women he surrounds himself with. What if I'm just one more challenge for h
RicoThe tension between us has been building since the first time we met, but this... this is the moment where I see it all click into place. The moment where I feel that tension finally snap, and the moment where everything changes between us.I'm going to make her mine.I'm going to consume her. I'm going to consume her body, and I'm going to consume her soul.I'm going to make her come to me, again and again.She's never been with a man before, and I'm going to make sure that by the time I'm done with her, she's begging me for anything I'm willing to give her."Rico..." she whispers.The sound of my name on her lips leaves me throbbing and desperate to press myself into her warm, wet depths.I pick her up and press her back against the soft, padded wall. She holds her breath and her eyes widen with uncertainty, unsure of what to do next. I roughly lift her skirt with my fingertips, giving her the space to wrap her legs around me.As her thighs grip my hips, I feel her keeping some
RicoSeeing Sandra here in Club Red might as well have been a dream come true.To say I’ve wanted her since she started working for me is a massive understatement; I wanted her the moment I laid eyes on her. And I’m not used to not getting what I want.She’s been working under me for over a year—long enough to prove she’s the best damn personal assistant I’ve ever had. Most don’t last a week, but Sandra stuck it out through my stormy moments, my cold spells, and every ruthless, savage step I’ve taken to ensure I come out on top.I own Club Red, but Vital Tech is my lifeblood. She’s my lifeline there, her finger on the pulse, disarming clients, putting investors at ease, roping in grown men with a smile.I don’t care that she works for me. PR nightmares? Irrelevant. Losing my position? Laughable. Money talks, and I use every asset to get what I want.And I want Sandra.But nothing has worked. Not yet.Now, she trembles in my arms, her scent thick with heat and arousal. She’s hot, ready
Rico has spent months resisting the urge to ruin his personal assistant. Sweet, untouched, and completely off-limits—until now. Seeing her in his club, bathed in red light, eyes wide as she takes in the depravity around her, is the final straw. She doesn’t have to speak; he can see it in her face, in the way her breath catches. She’s curious. Tempted. Desperate for someone to show her just how good sin can feel. And he’s done pretending it won’t be him.•••Chapter 1Sandra Of course, my spoiled, rich, badly behaved boss isn’t answering his phone.I sigh, glancing up at the club—a deep-gray building that somehow stands out against the rundown warehouses around it.The music thrums beneath my feet before I even reach the door, the vibration crawling up my body. If it’s this strong outside, I can only imagine how deafening it is inside.Steeling myself, I pull open the door to Club Red.Red lights. Thick, musky air. The heavy bass pounding through my chest.A hulking man stands by th
