He slept on the floor next to my bed when I woke up scared, then spanked me like a naughty little girl when I lied to him. He could have claimed me that night, ravaging me without mercy or remorse. But he didn't.

Her breath caught when she saw him. His dark hair was cut and styled short, but sexy. Long enough she wanted to run her fingers through it, but not long by any means. His face was turned down, focused, yet she could see the chiseled features from the doorway. When he glanced up at her, the look of annoyance in his eyes made her think of the previous night. She knew instantly that he had been the man at the strip club, the man who had held the lollipop for her to suck. She swallowed nervously. If he recognized her, it was all over.
