soothing but it didn’t drive her up sexually. It excited her in a different way. He was handling her as he pleased, touching her intimately, but it felt casual too. That was the moment the absolute rightness of his hands running over her body made sense. He was acting like he had a right to do as he pleased because she had given him that, submitted to him.
    Oh God. He was exactly what she had imagined, a Dominant, not just a dominant personality.
    He broke the kiss gradually, raining soft touches on her face. She felt Jack’s breath on her lips as he remained in her space. Hailey slowly opened her eyes.
    “Nobody is pretending anything,” he stated while gently rolling her nipple. Lines radiating from the corners of his eyes told her he wanted to smile, though he kept talking. “You are mine, my responsibility. I take care of what’s mine. What you just gave me, that’s all mine, too. Do you understand?”
    Oh yes she understood and oh no, she wasn’t prepared for this. Or maybe she was and didn’t know it. Looking back, from the moment he put his hand on her neck, she had submitted to him in every way he allowed her to do it. What did that really mean though? Was she the night’s entertainment? Someone he felt obligated to remove from a dangerous situation and things had gotten a little fun? If he was a Dominant, what did declaring she belonged to him mean? Just right now? Or more? Hailey slowly shook her head no.
    A dark eyebrow went up. “What part is not clear?” he asked, palming her breast, his fingers stilling.
    “What are we doing? I don’t understand this world,” she confessed hesitantly. “I don’t know if this means something or nothing.”
    Jack’s lips smiled this time, not just his eyes. “Let me simplify. This means you are mine in a way I like. It could have taken us months to get to this, baby. It didn’t and that pleases me. Is that clearer?”
    The orgasm fog had completely lifted by the time he finished.
    “Yours? Me? Like…dating?” she stammered.
    His head shook no once. “Dating, no. We skipped right past that when you sat that fine ass down in a damn meat market. You became my woman tonight. Baby, that means—”
    Suddenly someone was pounding on the front door. Hailey’s body jerked at the unexpected noise. Jack cursed in a hiss, his hand deftly pulling her blouse and bra over her breasts and stood, placing her on her feet in front of him.
    “Hang on a minute,” he semi-yelled at the door while grabbing her hand and dragging her deeper into the condo that Hailey hadn’t even looked at yet.
    “Wait. What’s happening?” she asked as he stopped at a large closest that they had gotten to through a huge bedroom.
    He grabbed a plaid shirt off a hanger and turned her with the hand still holding hers. Letting go, he held the shirt open behind her. “Put this on, baby,” his low voice directed.
    Automatically Hailey pulled the shirt on. The long sleeves flopped down below her hands. The hem completely covered her short skirt and reached almost to her knees. Jack came around in front of her, doing up the buttons. “Get the sleeves,” he directed.
    Rolling up the material, she asked again, “Jack, what are you doing?”
    “Getting you covered. The outfit is sweet but you’re not wearing it unless I’m with you.” He took her hand and half dragged her back through the condo. The pounding on the door had started again. “You’re going to a friend’s house so you need to be covered,” he explained, but the words didn’t make a lot of sense.
    “A friend’s house?” she got out as Jack opened the front door.
    “Jesus, man!” Jack snapped into the grinning face of the tall Hispanic man standing in his door.
    Hailey recognized the guy. He was one of the scorching-hot men Julie Marks had introduced her too at several social events, which was how she had met Jack in the first place. She wasn’t exactly sure how they were connected. Figuring out the obviously tight
