Josh in the room. Her eyes closed for a brief moment and she shoved away from the door. It didn’t matter that he was here. Max and Josh were close.
    Josh would know the lay of the land with his brother.
    She ordered herself to stay calm as she approached. This was right. This was Max.
    Her cards supported this. She stopped a few feet from the desk. Fastening her gaze on the carpet, she lowered herself to her knees and clasped her hands behind her.
    “Holy shit!” Josh exclaimed.
    Max stood. “Shut up, Josh.”
    “Man, I didn’t know this was how it was with you two.”
    He ignored his brother and rounded the desk, coming to stand before her. Reaching down, he tilted up her chin. “Are you sure?”
    “Yes.”
    He raised an eyebrow and she closed her eyes, taking a breath. “Master.”
    “Josh, leave.”
    A rustle of papers followed. She sensed rather than saw Max’s brother leave. Her eyes never left Max. Desire blazed in his gaze as he regarded her.
    “You were very bad last night,” he said when the door clicked shut. She hoped Josh had locked it.
    “I—” she stopped, unsure whether she could speak.
    “Go ahead.”

    “I didn’t…um…come,” she confessed, unable to believe she’d discuss this with him. “I stopped.”
    He studied her, his brows coming together. “Tell me again.”
    “I stopped. Like you said.” She bit her lip. “And I really need… Well, I hung up the phone by accident. Not because I didn’t want you to hear. And…and well…I just stopped.”
    “You really need? What?”
    She sighed. Had she thought this would be easy? “You. I really need you.”
    He nodded and moved away. “Good.”
    Good? That was all? Good ?
    She struggled to keep her body relaxed and her breathing calm. A display of her temper wouldn’t get them anywhere. Against all reason, warmth seeped into her pussy, making her want to squirm.
    “That still leaves the question…why didn’t you call me back?”
    “Tyler.”
    “What?” he asked sharply. “He was there?”
    She shook her head quickly. “No. He called. He was a jerk. Demanded I show up at his place today or else. I kept the phone off the hook.”
    Silence followed. It was broken suddenly by the slap of a hand on his desk.
    “I would have come for you. You should have called me,” he rasped. “He could have shown up and decided to hurt you. You know that, don’t you? Do you realize the danger you were in? I will not allow that. You’re mine now.”
    She nodded, unsure what to say.
    His now. It shouldn’t have made her all trembly inside but it did. Her tongue darted out to wet her lips. When Tyler had staked his claim, a heady excitement had filled her. Excitement at the unknown and the forbidden. This was different. There was excitement, but with it was an unbelievable calm. Sharp-edged curiosity and fear 36

    twined together, yet she knew she was safe. She’d never really felt safe with Tyler, just completely out of control. She didn’t like that. It scared her.
    Still, Max had the control here. More power than Tyler had ever had. This was different. Unlike her experience with Tyler, she didn’t feel out of control. It took strength to kneel here before Max and accept what he offered. An underlying comfort supported her. If she said no, she knew he’d stop. Max wouldn’t harm her.
    She trusted him. Even as the tension rose around them, dredged in deep silence, fear wasn’t present. Arousal was. Her position drew her shoulders back and pushed forward her breasts. The thin layers of lace and silk did nothing to disguise the thrust of her hard nipples against the fabric. She could barely stand their confinement. The need to rub them or have Max roll them between his fingers sent liquid heat rushing to her barely hidden pussy. It inflamed her beyond belief. Her skirt pulled across her thighs and if it shifted just an inch, he’d know she was bare beneath it.
    He stopped before her and leaned back on the
