Chapter 17

Sapphire did her best to ignore the anger nibbling at her gut. Part of her wanted to shriek at the arrogant man who’d stepped into her condominium, his gun drawn, checking the interior of her house before punching the release code into her security system. She told herself that she shouldn’t be surprised that he assumed it was his job. That somehow, because he was in charge of their operation, he was also responsible for her safety. As if she hadn’t taken care of herself and her safety for going on fifteen years. If she was feeling generous she might even give him points for chutzpah. But generosity was the last thing she was feeling.

Yes, Jase was a commanding figure. She’d already known that before she saw him at the Caligula Club. But she couldn’t deny that in many ways he was even more impressive than she’d realized. His calm assertiveness with Roberto Ventrilo was striking. Ventrilo was clearly a dangerous and impressive man in his own right. But Colonel Malone had him beat ten to one. Jase met Roberto face to face and held his own—in fact, continuously upping the ante with his antagonist. Sapphire knew that Jase was doing it purposefully. He was testing Roberto. Pushing his limits. To Sapphire’s surprise, for the most part Roberto acquiesced. As did his men, who clearly saw Jase’s command of the situation. In retrospect, Sapphire realized that Jase had purposefully baited Manuel when the pompous guard refused to admit her into the chamber. With that first kerfuffle, Jase established that no one would be allowed to question his authority. None of them, neither the guards nor their boss.

All of those actions under other circumstances would have impressed the hell out of Sapphire and made her grateful that Jase had chosen her for the mission. Except for the fact that Jase had achieved that pinnacle of respect by diminishing her. The memory of him purposefully baiting Roberto with the promise of Sapphire stripping for him had her gritting her teeth. But what really had bile backing up in her throat was his casual mention of collaring her. She didn’t give a damn if that was a given in the BDSM fetish world they had entered. The very idea of wearing a man’s collar, particularly Jase’s, sent a red haze over her eyes.

Doing her best to contain her anger, Sapphire headed for her bedroom. Maybe taking off the shamelessly sexy dress she was wearing would help to even the playing field between the two of them. It was a little hard to confront him for diminishing her, when what she was wearing confirmed that she was in fact a whore. A well-dressed one, but definitely a woman on the make. She knew that was Jase’s intent when he selected the dress and all the other clothes they’d bought at the Finery. She even agreed that it was her role and god knows she knew how to play it. But having him continuously rub her nose in it was more than she could take.
