thighs. Keeping their hips connected, he pulled her up to sit and tilted her head back to expose her vein. “May I?” His voice was hoarse with desire.
    “Yessss,” she said breathily. He struck quickly and savored the taste of her—warm, delicious, erotic, with the tang of alcohol. He came again and she squeezed her legs around his waist, drawing him in tighter. She was smiling. When he finished, he sealed the little holes with the blood-clotting and healing properties of his saliva and kissed her nape.
    “Thank you,” he whispered in her ear.
    “Mmmm.”
    Of course Fox picked that moment to barge in, as locks were completely ineffectual at keeping vampires out. His fangs shot out and he hissed. “What the fuck are you doing to her?”
    He pulled out of Kate and held up his hands as Kate jumped off the desk in search of her panties and shorts. “It was consensual,” he said quickly, pulling his own pants back up. A vampire with his fangs out is nothing to mess with—even if he is your friend. “You can ask her.”
    Kate nodded. “Absolutely.”
    “You took advantage of her.” The fangs had retracted a little but Fox was still pissed, and Dom couldn't blame him. He would feel the same way if he knew someone hijacked Kate while she was in an obvious state of intoxication.
    Fortunately, Kate spoke up. “Do I look like I didn't like it? It's totally cool,” she said firmly.
    Fox looked doubtfully from one to another, but his fangs were back where they belonged. “I came up to make sure you were okay,” he mumbled.
    Kate rubbed her head where it had been bleeding. “Yeah, just a cut and bruise, I think. No real harm done.”
    “You want to go to the after-party at Andrew's?”
    “Sure. I'll meet you downstairs,” she said.
    Fox left, throwing one last doubtful look over his shoulder and Dom reached into his pocket for his cash. He paid almost everyone under the table at No Return. It saved him money and they all appreciated it. “Here's your pay for tonight. I ought to dock it because you didn't finish the last set, but…” he stroked and then gently slapped her firm little butt, “I feel like we're even.”
    She flushed, clearly not sure how to take that.
    He ran his finger over the bump on her forehead, feeling like it was absolutely tragic that her perfect face would be shadowed with a bruise. Something about her made him feel protective. “Be careful tonight, okay?”
    “I will,” she promised.
    “All right. Good night, Kate,” he said, giving her soft lips a quick kiss.
    “Okay, yeah. Bye.” She seemed a little flustered. Sobering up, maybe.
    When she had left he sat down in his chair and closed his eyes. Oh hell. That was a mistake. He had enjoyed every moment of it, but from start to finish—on every level—it had been a colossal mistake.
     
     

Chapter Two
     
     
    He had spanked her. Kate shut the door to the office lounge and stood out on the landing. She felt totally discombobulated. Her body felt relaxed and pleasured in every way, yet she still was turned on by what had just happened with Dom. And totally embarrassed.
    She couldn't think about it without getting butterflies in her belly and a pulsing between her legs. Her whole life she'd been fascinated by spanking. She used to rub her dolls’ bare backsides and spank them in private in her bedroom, and the interest had only increased with puberty. Spanking was her most closely guarded secret—something she'd never told anyone about. She found it completely embarrassing. It made her feel like a deviant.
    And now, having just had her number one fantasy fulfilled by the man who often starred in those daydreams, she felt as raw and open as an oyster pulled out of its shell. She felt like bursting into tears, but not sad tears, just… tears. And she definitely didn't feel like going downstairs in her bra and spankies, no matter how comfortable she had been prancing around on stage in them an hour ago. She sat down on the top of
