Ruby barely remembered the drive home.Her mind remained completely consumed by one man.Master William Steele.Olivia glanced sideways from the driver's seat and laughed.“You've been staring out that window for twenty minutes.”Ruby blinked.“What?”“Exactly.”Ruby groaned and covered her face with both hands.“Oh my God.”Olivia laughed harder.“You've got it bad.”“I do not.”“You absolutely do.”Ruby sighed dramatically.“Okay, maybe a little.”“A little?” Olivia nearly swerved laughing. “The man looked at you twice and you've forgotten how breathing works.”Ruby couldn't even argue.Because her best friend wasn't entirely wrong.The next hour became a nonstop interrogation.Ruby demanded every detail Olivia was willing to share.What was Master Steele really like?Had He dated many women?Was He always that confident?Did He always look at people like that?Olivia answered what she could.“He's incredibly private.”“That doesn't help.”“He's demanding.”“That helps slightly.”“H

Friday afternoon couldn't end fast enough.Ruby had spent the entire week trying to focus on marketing presentations, client meetings, and quarterly projections, but every time her mind wandered, it found its way back to one man.Master William Steele.At exactly 4:00 PM, she finally gave up pretending she would accomplish anything productive during the last hour of the day and headed home.By 5:00 PM she was stepping into the lobby of her secure downtown condominium, exchanging greetings with neighbors and trying unsuccessfully to ignore the butterflies dancing in her stomach.Tonight.Tonight was the night.The moment she entered her apartment, she dropped her work bag onto the kitchen island and kicked off her heels with a relieved sigh.Her phone buzzed with a calendar reminder.Date with William Steele.As if she could possibly forget.Before she could even laugh at herself, the intercom buzzed.Ruby jumped."Hello?""Good evening, ma'am," Sam, the doorman, said. "You have a deli

William should have left the moment she opened the door.Instead, He found Himself rooted in place.Ruby stood before Him wearing the dress He had chosen, her dark hair cascading in soft waves around her shoulders, her lips painted that sinful shade of red He had been thinking about wrapped around his cock, for an entire week.God.She was stunning.For one dangerous moment, William forgot every carefully constructed speech He'd prepared for this. Ruby's heart hammered against her ribs as she opened the door.For a moment, neither of them spoke.William Steele simply stood there looking at her.His silver eyes moved slowly over the dress He had chosen, taking in every detail. The approval in His expression sent a rush of warmth through her."You look beautiful," He said quietly.The compliment landed harder than she expected.Not because of the words.Because of the way He said them.Like He meant every single one."Thank you, Sir."His eyes darkened slightly at the title.Something

William Steele had always believed information was power. It was one of the reasons he remained successful. Before allowing anyone close to him personally—or professionally—he made certain he understood exactly who they were. Ruby Bennett was no exception. His security firm had conducted a discreet background check within twenty-four hours of their meeting. Definitely invasive. Possibly improper. Just enough to satisfy his need for certainty. She was exactly who she claimed to be. Senior Director for one of the city's fastest-growing marketing firms. Highly respected. Financially independent. No criminal record. No hidden scandals. No troublesome ex-husbands lurking in the shadows. Just an ex boyfriend or two. The deeper he looked, the more impressed he'd become. Ruby had built her life through intelligence and determination. And somehow that made her even more attractive. Not less. Now, sitting across from her in the intimate candlelit dining roo

They leave the restaurant and Robert is there with the limo waiting for them. William sees him and says "Hey Brother, right on time." Robert Jokes back something like "Someone's gotta be around to watch your Ass!"He opens the back door for them, "Hello Ms Bennett, lovely, lovely to see you", raising his eyebrows with a little wiggle and a sly grin. William laughs and takes her hand to help her into the car, getting in behind her. Once they're on their way, Master Steele, puts up the dark partition and pulls Ruby closer. So close that their thighs are touching and He puts his arm around her shoulder, anchoring her to him. With the other hand, he turns her face towards his. He searches her face for a moment then looks into her eyes and slowly leans forward to taste her lips. Ruby's heart is hammering in her chest and she can't stop looking at his luscious mouth as it gets closer and wanting this kiss and so much more! He deepens the kiss by running his tongue along the edg
