embarrassing truth. Alice had a crush on Gael. He’d rejected her once, telling her he wasn’t interested in a relationship. No, he was apparently into having kinky sex with strangers. Now was his opportunity to reject her a second time. The only difference was this time Alice understood the full reason behind his rejection.
    She was the least kinky person out there. How the hell could she compete with the women in this club?
    The answer was, she couldn’t. Time to leave.
    Gael released her shoulders, but didn’t completely pull back. “Do you understand what it is I look for here?”
    No. “A little bit. Mistress Red tried to explain things to me. You’re dominant and like your partners to be submissive.”
    “But do you understand what that means?”
    There wasn’t much point in lying. “Not really.”
    She couldn’t be certain, but she got the impression Gael was making a difficult choice when he stood up and offered her his hand. “Come with me.”
    “Why?” Her entire arm tingled as she slipped her hand into his and shakily got to her feet. It took a moment for the blood to start flowing once more and she was able to walk without stumbling. Gael waited patiently until she took a few steps.
    “Why should be obvious. You wanted to learn about me—here’s your opportunity. You’ll only get one. And if you give me time to think this over, my rational side will kick in.”
    She gasped as he pulled her hard against his side and pressed his mouth to her ear. “I can either take you to the front door and get you a taxi, or you can come with me. Which will it be?”
    Heart racing and body trembling, she tried to get herself under control. She couldn’t back down now, not after everything she’d been through so far tonight. Turning her face so her mouth brushed against his cheek, Alice whispered, “Teach me. Sir.”

Chapter Six
    Gael’s cock went hard as stone the moment Alice called him Sir . It was worse than the accidental slip at the office, because this time she understood that there was a certain amount of power behind the phrase. It didn’t hurt that it came out sounding so innocent, practically inviting him to slap a collar around her neck and claim her as his.
    This was the single dumbest thing he’d ever done.
    A whole shit-pile of trouble, given the look of excitement and lust on her face. No woman should be able to be so alluring without trying. He hadn’t given Alice much thought the first month he’d started working at the firm. She was yet another pretty face who floated around the office, someone who was savvy when it came to her job. It wasn’t until that second month, when a bunch of the newer lawyers got together for Friday afternoon drinks and they started discussing the various women in the office that Gael’s mind went there.
    Man, did it ever go there.
    Most of the associate lawyers had her on their list of wanna fuck . The more the alcohol had flowed that day, the more graphic their descriptions had gotten, the more Gael wanted to beat the shit out of them. Even Uncle Stephen had more than a few choice descriptions for what he’d do to Alice given half a chance. It had turned Gael’s stomach to the point where he’d gotten up and left without a word. No woman deserved to be talked about like that, let alone Alice. The sweet girl who treated everyone with the same degree of respect and kindness. The woman who never lost her patience, who never demanded anything for herself.
    Alice with her perfectly done hair and makeup that actually enhanced her features rather than cover them up. Her ability to pick the perfect clothing that made her look feminine without coming across as too soft, sexy without being slutty. It was far too easy to picture her sinking to her knees by his desk, his hand circling her neck while his other pulled her hair to expose her neck.
    Gael had been forced to keep his distance from her as much as he could after that. He wasn’t supposed to be looking for
