Chapter Seven

Jane saw her reflection on the window of a passing bus. She’d followed Jacob’s orders and had dressed in a thick, green sweater, a pair of comfortable jeans, and fashionable boots. She put minimal makeup on and gathered her hair into a single ponytail. Like this, Jane was virtually unrecognizable and that suited her just fine. When she went to the studio, her clothes were always carefully chosen, professional. It was nice, she realized, to sometimes dress down.

A chill came from the busy docks, making her shove her hands into the pockets of her jeans. She came here fifteen minutes early because that was how she was. She hated to be late. Even as a teenager, she arrived early for a date with a girlfriend or a boyfriend.

A tingle of excitement shot down her spine. After Jacob’s call last night, sleep proved elusive. Jacob was shaking things up—a good or bad sign, she no longer cared. Her confidence level was at an all-time low after watching Swan’s interview yesterday. Jane knew she should keep off social media for the next few days, but she took a sneak peek earlier and immediately regretted it. Jane didn’t know what she did to piss Swan off, but the supermodel seemed to love bashing her and her dresses.

Jane could use a distraction and this mysterious trip might be the solution.

“You’re early. I should’ve expected that,” said a familiar voice behind her.

Jane turned around. She’d never seen Jacob out of his apartment before and he looked better than nice. Sexy. He wore a battered brown leather jacket over a white shirt with a cartoon pig holding a knife printed over it, and a pair of well-used, faded jeans. Jacob leaned in close and kissed her on the cheek. It was brief and quick, but the contact of his lips warmed her up immediately.

“You look perfect,” he murmured, eying her up and down. That naked want in his eyes sent a shudder down her spine. They weren’t in the privacy of his home, but that look didn’t feel out of place.

He slid his arm around her shoulders, pulling her close to him. She breathed in his familiar scent, his cologne, and closed her eyes for a moment. Jane felt the change in his breathing and she opened her eyes again. She realized she was resting the palm of her hand against his incredibly warm and solid chest.

“I’m sorry, Sir,” she whispered, about to pull away, but he grasped her fingers.

Jacob leaned in by her ear. “You don’t need permission to touch me in public. I’m just Jacob this morning.”

It took her a second to understand what he meant. Today, Jacob wasn’t her Master. Jane needed order, rules, distinctions, but today, she could be flexible. Curiosity got the better of her. She wanted to know what he had planned for them.

Jacob squeezed her hand. “Let’s go before all the good fish are gone.”

“I don’t understand,” she said.

They walked further into the market. She looked around, perplexed. Despite the ungodly hour, there were a lot of people.
