She had no idea how to respond at all to how this date had gone.
Why couldn’t they have a nice, romantic meal? Shit, she would’ve taken a trip to the movies or the opera or whatever. Shit! Going home with Danica and getting rough banged all night long was also an option! Still better than this!
This woman is crazy. Alicia was glad she wasn’t touching her anymore. Oh, Danica was still smoking hot. Alicia was ready to be a super dumb fool again and fuck her… except for that part where Danica saidBDSM.
Of course,she was into sadomasochism.Of course,she was into bondage.Of course,she was into domination! Why the fuck wouldn’t she be! This woman was born super-rich and had only gotten richer as she grew older. She barely had normal human interactions. I saw what went on at her club. It was an apparent fact that half of the wealthy elite within a short plane ride wanted to party at Midnight. Alicia hadn’t thought anything about itwhen she was making money off them for a hot minute. Actually being put in that position herself?
Then again… she had seen it coming because the woman was 100% in control when it came to sex.
Originally, Alicia assumed this had to do with her ego. Now she knew it went a lot deeper than that. This woman had a fetish for dominating people. Alicia’s luck she would find the one hot single billionaire who was into what the fuck ever those weirdos were into.I bet all those people at the fundraiser were pervs, too.That Lara Anderssen, especially. The perviest.
“Ms. Colbert?”
Danica looked like she feared she had overstepped boundaries. Good. She should be afraid. She also shouldn’t be calling her Alicia anymore. Ew. “I’m sorry. You spun out of control on me. We went from talking about Princeton and William and Mary to whips and chains.”
Danica’s positive demeanor broke. She narrowed her eyes, arms pulling back toward her and getting away from Alicia as quickly as they dared. “If that’s all you think it is, then I guess that answers my question.”
Until this woman, I never even had sex. BDSM? Yeah, right.Alicia sat up straight. At least she would have poise even if she had no shame. “Sure guess it does. By the way, here’s a tip.” Alicia stood. This may be one of her only opportunities to lord over a woman like Danica, and she was going to take it. “Don’t spring marriage and BDSM at the same time on a girl during the first date. Pick one, if you must, but both? Come on.”
She grabbed her clutch, fully intending to leave.I’ll take a cab home. Lick her wounds and figure out if she could forget the weird shit and hang on to hot memories of the way this woman fucked her.
“Wait.” Danica stood as well. “I’m sorry. I got ahead of myself.”
Why was Alicia stopping? Damnit. She glanced over her shoulder. The woman was starting to look a bit disheveled. Over Alicia? Sure.
“Forgive me. Or, at least, I hope you can forgive me for fawning over a woman such as yourself. You may not think you’re anything special… and you’re right. In the realm of the world, I suppose you’re not.” Wow. This woman was really a winner, wasn’t she? “That doesn’t matter to me. I’m usually a logical woman, Ms. Colbert, but I’m still human. I’m prone to romantic notions. Like love at first sight.”
Alicia turned her whole body toward her. “You barely know me.”
“Like I said. First sight.” Danica straightened. “Are you telling me you didn’t feel such a connection when we first met?”
Of course I did. Because Danica was rich and gorgeous. And her boss, as it had turned out. “No comment.”
“I’m sorry that I disturbed you. I assure you that it was not my intention. It’s… well, I’m rather at a loss for words here, Ms. Colbert. That doesn’t happen often. Again, forgive me. I got ahead of myself. One thing at a time.” She gestured to the table. “Please. Finish dinner with me.”
“I’m not hungry.”
“Then let me escort you home.” Danica closed the distance between them. Alicia let her.Damn you. Damn your perfume and your amber eyes. “By home, I mean mine, Ms. Colbert.”
She shivered. “No hinky shit?”
“I would never ask you to do something that you’re uncomfortable with.”
Alicia took one small step forward. It was enough to dig her upward-pointed chin into Danica’s chest. One movement of the arms, and she would be within them. “Promise?”
“You have my honor in your hands.”
If only Danica knew what she had of Alicia’s.
Chapter 12
Alicia knew better than to expect the same residence from last time. If anything, she hoped it would be a more intimate place with better lighting and fewer stoic people around. It was already a miracle that they were not accompanied by Danica’s entourage – apparently the assistantsdidhave time off – but a bodyguard was still on standby. Alicia couldn’t help but comment on this as they got in the limo.
“That’s merely a precaution. My father isn’t a likable man.” Danica relaxed in her seat.This might be the first time I’ve ever seen her slightly slouch. “He made some enemies in his youth. I’ve had a bodyguard since I can remember. My apologies if it unsettles you.”
“No… I’m simply not used to something like that.” Made some enemies? Unlikable person? What kind of family was Alicia mixed up with? “I think I met your father the other day.”
Something bristled beyond the corner of her eye. Danica? She was the only one over there, but imagining a woman like herbristlingwas nearly impossible. “When was that?”
