I crept into Jace's office fifteen minutes before the building was due to close. He was still hard at work, his hair rumpled from all of the times he'd run his hands through it over the course of the day. The loss of his usual firm control made him impossibly more appealing.

I rapped my knuckles gently against the open door. He glanced up at me, and for once, his eyes were unguarded or devoid of any intentions toward me. It was a little disconcerting after all of the intense power play between us to see him as what he was, at least some of the time.

At the center of it all, he was a man who got tired, just like everyone else.

"May I come in, sir?"

Approval flickered in the depths of his pale eyes for an instant before he nodded.

"I hope you don't get offended when I say this, sir, but you look exhausted."

Jace stretched once and bit back a yawn. "I'll manage somehow."

I hesitated. How far would he let me go? Could I put my hands on him in a manner outside of the terms we'd outlined? Or would he sling me over his knee again? Or take me home and chain me in his playroom until I begged for forgiveness for my presumption? I had to admit, any of those sounded good at this point.

Jace glanced up sharply, and his eyes studied me with a scorching intensity for a moment. I was sure he was about to say no and order me downstairs.

Then, some of the tension eased out of his shoulders, and he nodded. "Okay, baby girl."

He pushed away from the desk just enough that I could slide onto his broad, firm lap. His arms went around me at once, and I curled into his chest automatically.

"Thank you, sir," I breathed. "For earlier. I thought you'd make me go."

Jace kissed my hair. "You're not ready yet. Family is a soft limit for you. I'll push it eventually, but not at the moment. And besides, he was being an ass. I wasn't rewarding behavior like that. You're mine, and I'm not going to send you places lightly."

"I think I may love you," I sighed. "Just a little."

He stiffened beneath my touch and pushed me gently away. The rejection stung me worse than if he'd slapped me across the face. I dared to peek at his expression and found it bleak and far-away. There wasn't even the flicker of the warm, playful man I'd caught glimpses of up to this point. I hadn't expected him to say it back. But even just a small smile or an
