Sin sipped his drink, staring out the window.

“How the hell do you deal with all these meetings?”

Jordan King glanced up from the contract he’d been reading. “Lots of practice.”

Sin smiled at that. “Bullshit. You thrive on them.”

Jordan’s lips twitched. “I like the challenge of getting what I want.” His smile fell, and Sin knew he was thinking about Leslie—the only woman Jordan had ever loved.

A surge of anger rose inside him at the effect the other woman had had on his friend and mentor’s life.

To change the subject, Sin smiled. “I guess it doesn’t hurt to have the upper hand in these meetings.”

Jordan’s jaw clenched. “I make sure I always have the upper hand—in all things. It’s a lesson I learned the hard way.”

Sin nodded once and sipped his drink, hating that his friend still hurt for the woman he’d lost.

On the heels of that came thoughts of Veronica.

Something about her had hooked him from the very beginning, and she responded to him like a dream.

“Problem?”

Sin turned at his friend’s question. “Veronica.”

Setting the contract aside, Jordan sat back, picking up his drink from the coffee table in front of him. “I’ve never seen that look in your eyes before. You’re already in love with her, aren’t you?”

Sin shook his head, missing her more than he cared to admit. “How can I be in love with her? I’ve only known her a few days. Hell, I haven’t even taken her yet.”

He wanted to wait until they were on the island, and only staying away from her made it possible.

Jordan gave him a look that Sin knew well, a raised brow and sharp stare that told him that Jordan either didn’t believe him or waited for Sin to realize the truth for himself.

Sin sighed. “Don’t look at me like that. I can’t let myself get too attached to her. She wants nothing more than to explore her fantasy of submitting.”

“And if she decides that it’s everything she wants?”

Running a hand through his hair, Sin blew out a breath.

“I don’t know. Fuck. She’s so damned sweet.” Turning, he grinned. “Except when she’s aroused and I make her wait. She gets quite an attitude.”

Jordan’s smile held a sadness that he showed only on rare occasions. “Be careful.”

Nodding, Sin turned away from the view of Jordan’s large pool and backyard. “I will.” He studied his friend’s features, features that had hardened quite a bit over the last several years.

“You need to fall in love with someone else.”

In a very telling move, Jordan lifted the contract and started perusing it again.

“I don’t think that’s possible.”

Surprised at that, Sin frowned. “You date all the time.”

Jordan glanced up at him. “Just as you do. The women that I go out with are lovely diversions, and I enjoy fucking them.”

Smiling faintly, he lifted his glass again. “When I want something more…extreme, there are women I can call on, but there’s nothing more than friendship between us. Whichever way, I make sure I’m always the one in control—something you seem to need as well.
