never been interested in me. Not in any way other than being his friend.” Sadie shifted her attention to the floor area when a loud crack followed by a moan rose above the rest of the noise. A man had a beautiful blonde across his knee and was spanking her. “Granted, he’s been acting differently the past few months when we get together, but that doesn’t mean…He isn’t interested .”
    Josh smiled at someone past her shoulder. “I think I’ll check on the staff to see if they have everything set up in the banquet room. Be sure to have Paul escort you over when you’re ready.”
    The hand on the small of her back was the only indication of Paul’s arrival. Heat seeped into the faux leather, warming the area around where he touched her. Without realizing, Sadie leaned back, increasing the contact between them before glancing up at him.
    “Hey,” she said softly. “I just got back.”
    Paul’s brown eyes had gone nearly black in the low light of the club. “I see Josh has been taking care of you.”
    “I wanted to make sure she was comfortable while you were held up,” Josh said.
    “Thanks. I knew you’d take care of her while I was gone.” Paul stepped closer to her back, increasing the contact with her body.
    “No more calls tonight, I hope?” Josh leaned in, closing her personal space down to a tiny bubble. Sadie could feel her heart beating in her ears and throat, the speed of the blood pounding through her made her head spin.
    “I’ve turned the damn thing off,” Paul replied.
    “As you should. Leave it in my office. You deserve a night of relaxation as much as anyone.”
    They were close, one in front and one behind. The air thinned. Unable to get enough oxygen to stop her head from spinning, Sadie swayed between the men, bringing her dangerously close to the edge of her control.
    “I guess we better let you see to your guests,” Paul said. “Sadie and I will check the catering.”
    Without warning, Josh leaned in and placed a soft kiss on her cheek. “I hope you enjoy yourself this evening,” he whispered against her skin.
    Sadie swallowed hard and nodded. “I will.”
    “Will we see you later?” Paul asked, his voice sounding rough.
    “I think that will depend on Sadie.” Josh placed a kiss on her other cheek and squeezed Paul’s shoulder before disappearing down the stairs to the main area of the club.
    Sadie was about to come in her panties.
    “You look amazing.” Paul hadn’t moved to stand in front of her, giving Sadie an unobstructed view of Josh as he began to mingle with the guests. “I knew that color would be perfect with your hair.”
    “Thank you.” It was a lame response, but Sadie’s brain along with her witty retorts had momentarily checked out.
    “The best thing about it is how it’s a subtle tease. I know with the lightest of tugs I could pop your breasts out, exposing your nipples to the entire room. I bet you wouldn’t even stop me.” Paul shifted his weight and the bulge of his erection dug into her hip. “You’re like that. A subtle tease. For ten years I’ve watched you and you never saw me as anything beyond a friend.”
    “Paul, I never—”
    “Don’t you dare finish that sentence.” His lips were pressed hard against her ear and his hot breath rolled across her neck. “You have no idea the things you do to me. The fantasies I played out in my head over the years. You and Rachel together sucking my cock. You on all fours and me fucking you from behind. You coming into my office and locking the door. Having sex on my desk.”
    Sadie grabbed hold of the railing in front of her, squeezing the cold metal, and prayed she wasn’t about to fly out of her skin. Paul slid his hand up the center of her back until he was able to loop a finger under the edge of the corset. The light tug was half promise, half threat.
    “You never told me what your fantasies are, Sade. Which is too bad because tonight you are going to live out one of them. I don’t
