Chapter Six: The Game Just Began

Zane’s POV

I looked at the silly girl standing in front of me, pretending she had no idea who I was. Acting like nothing had happened between us.

“That’s not how you sounded when I was fucking you,” I said again, watching her carefully.

She froze.

“I… don’t know what you’re talking about, sir,” she tried to deny it.

I gave her a mocking smile. “Really? I think I still have the video of you screaming until you fainted.”

Her eyes widened. “You… you recorded us?”

I nodded slowly. Of course I was lying. I wasn’t that kind of bastard. I just wanted her to stop pretending.

I stood up and walked toward her. She immediately started backing away.

“You even had the nerve to leave five hundred dollars on my nightstand,” I said, closing the distance until I had her pinned against the wall, my arms caging her in.

“I… I thought you were just some male model,” she stammered.

She wasn’t completely wrong. She had been drunk and clearly going through something that night.

“And were my skills in bed really only worth five hundred?” I asked shamelessly. “From what I remember, I made you come more than twice before you passed out.”

“I can’t answer that. I wasn’t in a good place that day, so I…”

“Wanted to get fucked,” I finished for her.

She frowned.

“You can’t blame me,” she said. “Why didn’t you tell me you weren’t a male model?”

She looked cute when she was annoyed.

“Because you wanted to fuck, and I happened to be the most decent-looking man in that bar. So I’ll ask again — was my performance really only worth five hundred dollars?”

She opened her mouth, searching for an answer.

“You weren’t impressed,” I said, pulling her closer by the waist.

Ruby’s POV

Someone needed to get this psychopath away from me.

The moment he pulled me against him, I felt his warm breath against my neck. And the way he smelled… clean, expensive, and completely sinful.

“Want to try again so you can give me a proper rating?” he asked in a low voice.

How could someone this good-looking be so shameless?

I tried to push him away, but his hand on my waist only tightened.

“Sir… I have work to do. I don’t want to mess up on my first day,” I said, still trying to create some distance.

“Work can wait. You haven’t compensated me yet for running away after sleeping with me.”

“How much do you want then?” I asked.

He smirked. His lips brushed against my neck, then he kissed and lightly sucked the skin there.

“I don’t want your money,” he murmured against my skin.

He pressed me harder against the wall as his mouth trailed down to my collarbone.

“Then what do you want?” I asked, even as my traitorous body started reacting to his kisses.

“You,” he answered simply.

His hand slipped under my skirt and brushed against the front of my panties, fingers teasing between my thighs.

“Sir…” I moaned softly before I could stop myself.

The moment the sound left my mouth, his hand disappeared. I felt strangely empty.

“What?” he asked, smiling like he had no idea what he had just done to me.

“N-nothing,” I managed, biting my lip.

“Good girl.” He tilted my chin up so I had no choice but to look into his eyes.

“If you want more,” he said quietly, “come to my house tonight, my beautiful little virgin.”

I shoved him away and practically ran out of his office.

What a complete pervert.

Zane’s POV

I watched her rush out of the office, a slow smile spreading across my face.

A moment later, James walked in with a file in his hand.

“You were right. She’s the girl you’ve been looking for,” he confirmed.

My smile widened. This was getting more interesting by the second.

I pulled a handkerchief from my pocket and wiped the finger I had just used on her.

“Ruby,” I murmured, “watch how I ruin you.”
