Alec found a seat at the bar, sat down and ordered a beer. He had no desire to get drunk but he definitely needed to take the edge off. The bartender put his glass in front of him and Alec took a long gulp, the rich, dark beer cooling him down.

It was still raining outside, had been all day. But he was as fired up as if he was in the middle of a desert. Heated through. He’d woken up that way and was annoyed as hell that he couldn’t seem to get a handle on it. Which is why he’d lied to Dylan this morning and told her he’d had a meeting with his agent. Total bullshit. He’d simply had to be alone. To think it through.

He’d come up empty. Which was why he’d called Dante and asked him to meet him at their favorite bar tonight.

Alec glanced up and saw Dante walking through the door. His friend was tall and lanky, dark-haired and dark-eyed, and the women in the bar all turned to look him over. Half-Italian and half-Spanish, his looks usually got him any woman he wanted. But they were both more likely to hook up with women they met at the fetish clubs. Even though Dante wasn’t as hardcore a player as Alec was, it was too difficult for either of them to relate to a woman who wasn’t interested in kink on some level. And neither of them was the type to try to draft a “vanilla” woman into the lifestyle. Which didn’t explain how he’d gotten wrapped up with Dylan Ivory.

Fuck.

He threw back most of his beer before Dante reached the bar.

“Hey, Alec.”

“Hey.”

Dante slid onto the stool next to him and Alec ordered a beer for him and another for himself.

“So what’s on fire, Alec?”

“What do you mean?”

“It’s not like you to ask for an impromptu date. Should I be flattered?” Dante joked, grinning at him.

“Yeah, about that . . . sorry to drag you out on a work night.”

“No problem. I don’t have to be in court tomorrow. What’s up?”

Alec sat and sipped his beer, brooding. What the hell was up with him? “Maybe I need your help to figure it out.”

Dante nodded, sipped his own beer, his eyes narrowing. “But something is up.”

“Yeah.”

“It’s that woman you’ve been seeing, Dylan.”

It wasn’t a question. Like him, Dante was a practiced dominant, someone who took the time to read people. Alec wasn’t surprised that he knew right away what the issue was.

“Yeah.”

“Did you take her to the Pleasure Dome?”

Alec blew out a long breath. “Yeah, I did.”

“How did it go?”

“It went great. She’s every bit as submissive as I suspected. Goes down easy. Almost too easy. I expected a lot more fight from her.” He rubbed a hand over his goatee. “She doesn’t open up easily. In fact, there’s something big she’s keeping from me. That’s okay; I can work around it.”

“I’m sure you can. So what’s the problem?”

“The problem is me.”

He paused, drank some more of the beer down.
