swayed her misgivings about applying. When Linsey had agreed to her demands, she'd accepted the
position and from day one enjoyed it all. Anna had no worries about other people
enjoying the lifestyle; she just knew it wasn't for her. Not now. Not again.
    The look on Caden's face was
almost enough to have her on her knees before him. Almost.
    Intervention in the shape of Linsey coming through from the club stopped Anna from doing something very silly. In
her mind, if she'd have had time to react to him, she'd have made a fool of
herself. Or heaven forbid, done something that would have cost her her job. Linsey glanced from one
to the other and obviously summed the situation up.
    "Master McCourt?" Unless you knew her, you would
never know the smile was forced, and the concern in her eyes was for Anna. As
Anna did know her, she was somewhat comforted by the thought that Linsey would protect her.
    Oh god, I'm losing it. What
has Linsey got to protect me from? He's not into
force, and I'm sure as hell not into agreeing to anything he wants. Anna concentrated on
regulating her breathing and watched as Caden exerted
his charm on Linsey .
      Linsey might not be into men, but Anna saw the exact moment Cade won her boss and friend over. It was no wonder he was at the top of his tree.
His presence was enough to command respect at a dozen paces.
    "I know it's unexpected, but I found myself in the
area," he said suavely. "And as we agreed, I would like to look round
before my evening of demos"
    "You can't," Anna said. "You haven't
registered. It'd be illegal." Oh
god, word vomit, shut up.
    He raised one eyebrow in a manner that would have had every
sub in the vicinity on their knees and trembling. In fact, once upon a time,
Anna would have been the first person to assume the position. No longer. She glared at him.
    "Anna, Master McCourt is…"
    Anna didn't give Linsey a chance
to finish. "With respect, Linsey , I know who he
is, and I know the rules. You're not getting shut down because one person
doesn’t follow them."
    "You're right." Cade spoke before either woman could. "If you find me a copy to read and sign,
I'll gladly do so, and then perhaps someone can show me round?"
    Anna ignored him. It was up to Linsey to sort all that out. She stalked around her desk and glared at him, as he
stood unmoving next to her chair.
    "Excuse me." She waited until he took a step back
and opened a drawer. Anna handed a sheaf of papers and a pen to him and moved
away. "Use my desk," she said. "I won't need it any
longer." She looked at Linsey , who gave a faint
shrug, as if to say there wasn't anything she could do. Anna didn't believe
that for one minute. "Where's Athol?" she asked, as she realized
there was nothing else she could say or do to dissuade Caden from his chosen plan.   "He's
late."
    "I'm here, sweet thing." Athol walked across the
room and enveloped her in his usual effusive bear hug. "I had to sort out
some dickhead who thought I would turn a trick for a tenner . Cheapskate. I told him not for a thousand, I have my
standards." He roared with laughter, a deep belly laugh so at odds with
his persona. "Oh and who's this?" He looked Cade up and down.
    Anna grinned at him. There was no way she could project her
nerves onto Athol. "Ask Linsey to explain. I'm
away home."
      Caden put the pen down and looked up at her. For the first time since he'd walked
through the door, he was focused on Anna, and she felt the familiar tingle of
arousal as the flames of need began to flicker through her.
    "I thought perhaps you would show me around." Cade spoke to her, and his deep voice filled her, focusing
all her attention on him.
    Outside a car horn sounded, and Anna blinked and jumped, her
concentration broken. She could only think she'd had a lucky escape.
    "Sorry, I'm finished for the day. Oh,
and Linsey ?" She looked at her boss who
smiled, although it didn't reach her eyes.
    " Linsey , I'm just mentioning
this and please accept it's not a threat,
