“What the actual fuck?” Dallas’s voice had all the roar and growl of a wounded bear, and anyone with an ounce of sense would have given him a wide berth. But the smug looking woman who stood in front of him just smiled like the cat who’d got the cream.

Dallas had never been tempted to hit a woman before - not outside the safe, sane and consensual ethos of risk aware kink, but right now, that ethic was being sorely tested. Not that he’d ever give her any more ammunition with which to hang him by than she already had.

And she had plenty.

He swung away from Lexi and paced across the floor of his luxury penthouse, clenching and unclenching his fists and clamping his jaw closed to prevent himself from saying something ill advised, while he tried to get his head around what she’d done.

And how did she get his address? She’d knocked, then barged in when he’d opened the door and started making her demands. But his physically invaded privacy was just a small thing in comparison with the bombshell she’d just dropped.

Dallas’s chest heaved, and he sucked in angry breaths between his gritted teeth. He wanted to strangle her. He wanted to put his million-dollar hands around her scrawny throat and squeeze and for that reason he crossed his arms in front of him and looked rigidly out of the floor to ceiling windows, even though nothing outside computed in his shellshocked brain.

What the hell did he do about this?

It was blackmail. That’s what this was. And right now, he was so angry that he could barely keep a lid on it.

“What do you want from me?” he finally ground out, without turning around. He couldn’t bear to look at her. Could bear to see the scheming, unscrupulous face of the bitch who undoubtedly held his future in the palm of her deceitful, conniving hand.

He was expecting some extortionate seven-digit figure, was prepared for it… but he wasn’t prepared for what she asked for.

“It’s simple,” Lexi said, all vestiges of the sweet, simpering submissive she played at the club completely gone.

Dallas couldn’t help wondering if that had all been an act, too.

“I want to be your girlfriend. I want you to wine and dine me at all the best restaurants. I want to be your plus one at all your social engagements. I want the world and the media to see me shine and being on your arm will give me the opportunity to do that.”

Dallas stared at her and knew his expression must be one of complete horror. She might be accomplished at acting, but he most certainly was not. There was no way he’d be able to pull off spending any amount of time in her company without his true feelings shining through. And undoubtedly the paparazzi would pick up on that, too, since the mere thought of being near her made his skin crawl.

Damned if he did, and damned if he didn’t.

His mind was whirling
