Seth strode toward the stairs. He obviously knew what he wanted. Nate stared out again, trying to figure out which gorgeous sub had caught Taggart’s eye, but before Taggart came into view a woman in white stepped out from the hallway leading to the locker rooms, and Nate felt like the world slowed down.
Long, dark hair caressed rounded shoulders, tumbling over a set of truly gorgeous breasts. They were offered up by the pure white corset that cinched in her waist and flowed over hips he could hold on to. She stopped at the edge of the crowd, staring out as though trying to decide if she would join them. The white boy shorts she wore barely covered a spectacular arse.
She was a beauty, and he felt a rip of pure lust go through him, making his cock tighten and sparking his dominant instincts.
A Dom approached her, his every move seemingly predatory. His lips curled as he moved in close. She turned her chin up and said something. The Dom suddenly stepped back as though shocked. His hands came to his chest, palms out, and he backed away.
The pretty sub’s face fell. She glanced around the dungeon and seemed to realize there were a lot of eyes on her, but now the first Dom was talking to another, and they all seemed to ease away from her. One of the subs moved in, but she shook her off. Her head came up and he watched as she pasted a smile on her face and squared her shoulders. She leaned over to the other sub who nodded, and then the gorgeous woman turned to the stairs.
She was coming up here. What the hell had happened? Why had that asshole taken one look at her and rejected her? She was simply the most stunning woman in the place.
He turned, watching as she climbed the stairs in her stilettos. She moved as though she was used to walking in what had to be five-inch heels. He would bet she was quite petite, but those heels brought her close to being as tall as most of the men around her.
She might come to his shoulders. Maybe.
His gaze caught on her as she stepped into the lounge. She smiled at the bartender, who seemed to know her, but she waved him off and started toward the railing.
Then stopped and simply stared his way.
Low and sexy hip-hop played through the whole space, forming a soundtrack that could absolutely be used for sex, but it all faded into the background as he got his first good look at her.
She was every bit as gorgeous as he’d suspected.
She turned suddenly, and he realized he wasn’t going to let her go. This was the most he’d felt in forever, and he wasn’t willing to end it. He could be intimidating, but he could also charm a lady. He suddenly really wanted to charm this one.
Before he could take a step toward her, she turned again, and there was determination in the way she strode toward him.
“Hello, Sir.” She stood in front of him, her shoulders back and chin up. “You must be new around here. I wanted to welcome you to The Hideout. If you have any questions, I’ll be hanging around tonight. I know the place very well.”
So she was a regular. It made him wonder what kind of drama was going on with her that the other Doms seemed to back away. And then he had to admit he didn’t give a shit. She was standing there, and it was obvious it had taken some courage for her to get rejected and try again.
Brave sub. Gorgeous sub.
There it was. His cock tightened for the first time in forever, and for a moment it felt like he could breathe again. He hadn’t realized how tight his life had become, how like a vise it felt around his chest until this moment.
She’d asked him to come to her if he had questions. He had one for her.
“Do you have a partner for the night?” Nate asked.
Gorgeous green eyes flared behind her elaborate white mask. “Do I… No. I don’t.”
“Would you like one?” He could feel the fucking heat between them. He had to hope the heat he felt seared them both.
Her head nodded. “Yeah. Yes, I would, Sir. If you’re the partner, I would like very much to play.”
He held a hand out, and when she placed hers in it, he knew the night would change everything.
Chapter Four
Daisy looked up at the man who could only be Nathan Carter and placed her hand in his. Her breath had caught the minute she’d seen him, and she’d been a freaking teenaged girl with a crush all over again.
She knew she should tell him who she was, but names were optional tonight. If he’d wanted to get to know a woman, he would have come on a night when they didn’t all wear masks.
