“Just in the club?”
He shook his head. “Nah, love. You made your choice. You get me in and out of this club. I don’t want boundaries or walls. If we’re in the office and you need my cock, I’ll get really fucking creative. This isn’t a ploy to get a couple of hours of sex from you. I want it forever. You and the sex and all the trouble I can stand.”
Daisy’s lips curled up in the sweetest smile, and then she took off running.
Nate’s beast growled in the best way as he stalked his prey.
Chapter Nine
Daisy ran, sprinting toward the dungeon floor, dragging air into her lungs and letting the high of adrenaline flood her system.
She wasn’t afraid of him. Not in any way.
Well, not physically. Physically all he would do was make her ache before he gave her everything she wanted.
Her heart, though. Damn. Her heart was already his, and she wondered if it hadn’t always been. He’d talked about the awkward girl she’d been and how she’d followed him around. She had. When she’d learned he was coming to Dallas, a part of her had wondered if it was their time.
He was here now, and he seemed to want her.
She was trouble, but she never meant for bad things to happen. She’d helped a lot of people with her misadventures. Her mother often talked about the world always trying to find balance. What if the universe had sent her a big Aussie hunk to balance out the bad stuff?
The fight with her family was sitting in her head, but for now she banished it because she was a sweet sub being chased by a brute of a man who was going to inevitably capture her and fuck her senseless. All she had to worry about right now was how many orgasms she would get and how much he would make her pay for each and every one.
As ploys to get her out of her own head went, he’d come up with a winner.
She found her way onto what was obviously the dungeon floor. If they’d been doing this at The Hideout, she would likely have already run out of running space, but Sanctum seemed massive and she was only on the second floor. She sprinted into the shadows. There were some lights on the floor tracing the paths around the scene spaces and stages. The lounge had been lit with low, sexy lighting. She hadn’t appreciated it, nor had she truly taken in the surroundings. She’d simply been waiting for Nate to give her the go-ahead to head up to the apartment her uncle had explained he’d had built because some “fucker” always needed a place to stay.
Her uncle had a way with words.
Nate did, too.
I learned how to shove the beast that lives in me way down or I scare folks. But you bring it out.
The words had worked some magic on her. She’d never been the girl a guy was crazy about. Except for the stalker in college her da had talked to and explained Daisy wasn’t interested in.
Her father had always been there for her. Would he still be?
And she always wondered what he’d said to Carl since the dude left all his classes to become a ski instructor. She was pretty sure he’d never skied before because he was from Mississippi.
Actually, now that she thought about it, no one heard from Carl again.
“This only ends one way, Daisy.”
She needed to get her head into this ridiculously hot game of his. She wasn’t thinking about anything but him tonight.
Nate thought they could work. Maybe it could. At least for a while.
Daisy found herself in one of the scene spaces. There was a big desk and some bookcases. Office play. It gave her a place to hide. She ducked under the desk as she felt the hardwoods under her move slightly.
He was so big, she could feel it when he was walking toward her.
Big and safe and gorgeous. And he was stalking her. He was a beast for her.
“You want to know how it ends?”
She was pretty sure it ended in her taking a massive Aussie cock and screaming out his name, and they might not even get around to dinner tonight.
“It ends with me inside you.” His voice was low and slightly menacing in the twilight glow from the ground lights. “That’s the way it’s always going to end, but don’t think you’re not inside me, too. I think you might have been in there all along.”
She stood up, frowning his way. “Well, now I don’t want to run from you. You’re supposed to be a beast.”
The grin he gave her was so feral. “Oh, I’m a beast. And now I have you.”
She took off again because she wasn’t finished with this game. What had he said? He’d felt numb? Had she felt the same, going through her days with only the hope she’d find a place? She didn’t feel numb now. She felt more alive than she’d ever been before. She raced past the main stage. If she could get to the stairs, she was sure she would find the privacy rooms.
