tight nipples pressing into his abs. He leaned back so he could look down at her while brushing an errant strand of her fiery hair back behind her ear.
    “What am I going to do with you, woman?”
    Her smile was bashful. “Anything you want, Sir.”
    Jayden’s mouth dropped open and he shook his head at her playfulness.
    “Are you okay, Catherine? You gave me quite a fright.”
    She glanced down and then back up at him. “This girl apologizes, Sir. I – she was trying to convince herself she could withstand the cane for your pleasure.” She swallowed and whispered, “But I can’t do it, not yet anyways.”
    Jayden found himself pulling her against him in a tighter hug. “Oh, Catherine. It means the world to me that you were willing to even try pushing your limits for me. Listen to me. Hard limits are there for a reason. I will never ask you to push those. When and if you want to push them, you have but to request it of me, and we will discuss it,” he declared with a kiss to her freckled nose.
    Jayden sighed while a myriad of thoughts raced through his mind, and he continued to hold Catherine close. The decision he came to was painful, but right. “Catherine,” he began, “I think we’ve played enough for tonight –”
    She cut him off with a violent shake of her head. “No! Please, Sir. Don’t dismiss this girl yet,” she pleaded with him. “This girl was excited – and still is – to play your game. Please, Sir. May we continue?”
    She blinked her long lashes at him, and Jayden noticed even they were red and there were gold flecks in the green of her eyes reminding him of expensive Italian marble – and cats.
    “Catherine, it wouldn’t be right for me to continue with you in the mental state you’re in. You’ve had an obvious reaction to one of my favorite toys,” her eyes widened when he shared that truth with her, “and it is my responsibility as a Dom to stop the scene.” Jayden enjoyed the silkiness of her lips while he kissed her lips and she trembled.
    “I’m not rejecting you, my jewel. This is me taking care of you. I’ll be honest. I’m not sure what is happening, or what I’m doing. I’m a cold-hearted bastard, Catherine. My life is built around sex and the business of cold, hard steel.”
    She was shaking her head from side to side so he gripped her face in his hands.
    “But there is something about you, and I am determined to explore what we might have.” Jayden kissed her again, gentle, and she returned the kiss. “I want you to get dressed and meet me in the hall. I’m going to call my driver and we will take you home.”
    With his decision voiced, it took everything in his power to step away and turn his back on her while he walked over to the door. Jayden pulled on his shirt and picked up his shoes. After grabbing the key from the hook, he stepped out and left Catherine to dress herself in private.

    Catherine Trusts Sir

    She stood dumbfounded while the door closed and Sir left her sight. At first she was ashamed of her actions – feeling like she’d chased him off by disappointing him.
    Are you listening to yourself, Erin? Were you listening to him ? Get your ass dressed and get out in that hallway like your Dom just instructed you to do! This isn’t over. If you want this, you will fight for it!
    My Dom?
    Catherine liked the sound of that. It had been too long since she’d had the privilege to say those words. She liked the idea of this man – whatever his name might be – being her Dom even more. An almost manic bubble of laughter erupted when it sank in that she didn’t know his name, yet she was ready to offer her submission to him. “ A rose by any other name would still smell as sweet.”
    With a smile, Catherine rushed to pull her dress back on. She retrieved the discarded nipple clamps and dropped them into her clutch, and then slipped her shoes on. Taking a final deep breath to compose herself, she walked to the door and through it.
    When she
