emotion.
    Shit he didn’t need.
    “Unless you’ve changed your mind,” he finally added.
    Alexandra studied him. In those few seconds, her blush
drained away along with her earlier surprise, pure nerve replacing it. The kind
she’d shown last night in the pizza parlor and when they were on the job, not
allowing any man to steamroll over her.
    She stood and faced him. “No,” she countered. “I haven’t
changed my mind. Have you?”
    Junior whistled through his teeth, the sound low.
    It was still too loud for Daniel. He shot the young man a
look. Junior’s whistling died immediately.
    Daniel turned back to Alexandra. She was still regarding
him, carnal hunger in her eyes, a shitload of defiance too. He’d given her an
out, and she’d refused to take it. She was hell bent on proving…
    Fuck. He hadn’t a clue what was behind her response, except
that she appeared to actually be into this stuff. All of them at the same time,
just as she’d claimed.
    Daniel tightened his jaw.
    Red shifted from foot to foot, no doubt waiting for
direction as to what would happen next. Junior appeared eager to find out, his
attention riveted to Alexandra’s ass. Nat offered a knowing smile as though he
knew the contents of Daniel’s heart when Daniel was clueless as to how he felt.
    Pissed, sure, because she hadn’t changed her mind. Beyond
that, he didn’t know. Didn’t want to.
    She’d said he was the boss. Time to prove it. Teach her what
playing with fire would bring.
    Ignoring her question, Daniel spoke to Red. “Close the
drapes.” To Nat, he said, “Hold her hands behind her.”
    Alexandra looked over at Nat capturing her wrists, keeping
them behind her back. Her grit wavered beneath an expression of quick
uncertainty.
    The drapery hooks clacked against the wooden poles with
Red’s sharp tugs.
    She flinched at the sound.
    “Say the word and we stop,” Daniel offered her again.
    Alexandra shook her head. “I’m good.”
    “Good isn’t what we’re looking for.” He glanced at Nat.
    His friend pressed his mouth to her neck.
    Alexandra stiffened in surprise, then wilted against Nat, an
expression of rapture on her face at his open-mouthed kiss. Her lips parted on
a contented sigh, her body so limp it seemed boneless.
    Just as she’d been in Daniel’s arms. Precisely as she’d be
again, he was going to make damn certain of it. First, though, he’d show her
how he expected his sub to behave.
    She moaned softly at Nat suckling her throat.
    Unwilling to let his friend outdo him, Daniel slid his
fingers over the other side of her neck.
    Alexandra started. She turned her face to his, her eyes
glazed then alert at him undoing her braid.
    “You wear your hair loose from now on,” he ordered.
“Understand?”
    She breathed, “Yeah.”
    Pressing her lustrous tresses to his face, he inhaled deeply
of their sweet scent. Part shampoo and perfume, part her. Female musk that rose
in waves and enveloped Daniel.
    Alexandra leaned closer to him. Nat pulled her right back.
    Didn’t matter. With her response, Daniel knew she wanted him
more than she did the others. Pleased, he gestured Red and Junior closer.
    “Go on either side of her,” he said.
    They took their positions.
    Daniel fingered the hem of her tee. “This comes off now.”
    Without waiting for direction, Nat lifted Alexandra’s arms
above her head, holding them there. Daniel inched the soft tee past her tummy
and the waistband of her boxers, her navel, torso, bra. His cock stirred at the
delicate blue color of her lingerie. Dainty lace and flowers embellished the
sheer fabric that barely hid her nipples. Her areolas were more of a strawberry
tint than a pale pink, much as he’d imagined.
    Something inside him shifted, bringing everything into
sharper focus, electrifying the moment. He ran his fingers up her creamy torso,
so silky and hot his breathing grew strained. Her tummy trembled. She pushed to
her toes.
    With his hand on her shoulder, Nat eased her
