He felt the same way about the woman trailing after him. He had the sudden desire to make sure she didn’t drift away, the waves of life taking her far from him.

“You know what I like to do, right?” The sex had been fairly vanilla up to this point. Oh, he’d used her panties to bind her hands together and spanked her pretty ass. She had a couple of bite marks because it turned out she enjoyed the sensation, but he hadn’t gotten around to his central kink.

“Suspension,” she replied with a sigh to her voice that let him know she wasn’t going to be scared.

He was starting to think nothing at all scared Lisa Daley. “It doesn’t look like anyone’s in here yet, but that doesn’t mean we’ll be alone the whole time. How far are you willing to go?”

“How fast can you get these clothes off?” Lisa replied.

Damn she was going to kill him. “Pretty fast.”

She followed him into the room. “Does it bother you? I wouldn’t do it anywhere I didn’t feel safe, but that’s kind of the point of Sanctum. And I think I might have some exhibitionist in me. When we were training partners, Linc and I would do it in his truck in the parking lot and the thought that someone could catch us kind of did something for me.”

“Excuse me?”

She flushed slightly, as though realizing her mistake. “The class would get us all hot and bothered and we would… You know how it can be between training partners. Especially when you agree it’s all about sex and nothing else.”

A rush of indignation shot through him. What had she said? She hadn’t… “Lincoln? Linc was your training partner? The same Linc I recently got you a job working under?”

Lincoln ran the bar at Top. Lincoln had smiled brilliantly when he’d been told Lisa would be working with him. Remy had been watching them across the dining room. At the time he’d thought how nice that the big guy would give Lisa such an enthusiastic greeting. He’d thought it was good because she needed some enthusiasm in her life.

That bastard had probably been thanking heaven she’d walked back into his life and he got a second shot at getting into her pretty panties.

“I didn’t mention that?” She had a cute, quizzical expression on her face. “Huh. I guess because it was so long ago and it didn’t mean anything. Now he’s just a friend. It’s cool to be working with him again. You know it’s always nice to catch up with an old friend.”

Oh, but Linc wasn’t old at all. “He was the last sex you had.”

She shook her head. “No. It was the last good sex I had. Before you.” She stopped, her lips curling up. “But you’re way better. You have nothing at all to be jealous about.”
