“I would take option number one if I were you.” Atticus shoved the man in the direction of the two guards. “Take him in the back. I’ll be there in a few minutes.”

“He’ll cooperate,” I said. “But if he doesn’t, text me and I’ll intervene.”

“This will be handled quickly. I’ll make sure he leaves with an understanding of who you are and why he shouldn’t come back.”

“If he cooperates, he’s welcome to come back,” I said. “He has a job to do too.”

I placed my hand on the small of Capri’s back and guided her away from the bar. I had my own situation to deal with.

“Where are we going?” she asked.

“To my office.”

“Why?”

Backing her against the corridor that led to my office, I pressed my forearm against the wall by her head. As I trailed my finger down her throat and to the exposed skin between her breasts, the pulse in her neck quickened.

“When I tell you to do something…” I brushed my lips along her jaw as I circled her nipple through the thin, black silk of her dress. “I expect you to do it.”

“What if obedience isn’t my best quality?”

“Then it will be my pleasure to teach you how to obey me.” I forced my lips on hers, trapping her against the wall and my body. “That’s why we’re going to my office.”

Capri

My heart rate sped to dangerous levels when Sebastian locked the door to his office. The thrill of him wanting to teach me a lesson aroused me more than it should have, but when he faced me with a blaze of fury in his eyes, most of that desire evaporated into fear.

But I still wouldn’t say I didn’t want what he was about to do. When had I become so kinky?

“It was hot the way you handled that guy.” I backed away when he came toward me. “How didn’t he know who you are?”

He kept coming toward me and I kept retreating until I bumped into the desk. I liked being his prey.

“Doesn’t everyone around here know who you are?” I babbled. “Well, I suppose he will now.”

“His lack of knowledge doesn’t bother me.” Sebastian snaked his hand around my waist and tugged me to him. “Not nearly as much as your lack of respect does.”

“Is this because I didn’t hide in the bathroom when you told me to?”

“Among other things.” He reached behind my neck and untied the strap that held my dress up. “If I ask you to do something, it’s for your own protection.”

When the top of my dress fell to my waist, he yanked it over my hips and let it fall to my feet. He gazed down at my bare breasts and licked his lips, somehow heating my flesh without touching me.

“That rule can’t be new to you.” He lifted me up and sat me on the desk. “Surely, your father demands the same when it comes to his business.”

“You’re not my father.”

“No.” He removed his jacket and tossed it on the chair behind the desk. “I’m far worse. Do you know why?”

“No.”

“Because I don’t have to have boundaries when it comes to you.”

“Boundaries are overrated.”

Stepping between my legs, he moved the hair that had fallen over my breasts behind my shoulders, leaving me exposed in my red thong and the matching heels that tied around my calves.
