“Three nights.” King’s palms were sweating as he stood in Stone’s office, behind the desk, while Hen sat in the chair in front of him. It was the position he liked to take with all his clients to remind him of his place and theirs.

But he couldn’t help feeling like it was all wrong.

Part of him wanted Hen kneeling at his feet. The other part of him wanted to prostrate in front of Hen, allowing him to do whatever he wanted. To take whatever he wanted.

This would never be anything like his usual appointments, and he was desperately trying to accept that.

“And there’s no charge—”

“No,” Hen said, his voice thick but firm. “Don’t do that.”

King looked him in the eye, placing his palms on the desk on either side of the contract. He hadn’t read it yet. On there was Hen’s bio, things he’d never tell a casual observer. There were his hard limits and the things he needed, and King knew there wasn’t a damn thing on there that would have changed his mind, so it didn’t matter.

He’d read it so he could plan, so he could make sure those three nights were everything Hen needed them to be.

But that could wait.

“I can’t do this unless you agree to those terms,” King said. It was the one thing he’d been killing himself over as he got the forms together and sent Hen the appointment request. It was all wrong and too fucking formal, and he hated that they were in Stone’s office instead of somewhere soft and familiar. “I understand what you need, and I’ll give that to you. This is for me.”

Hen swallowed. “If I’m not your client—”

“You are. You belong to Greed for those three nights the second this contract is signed. None of that will change. This is still a transaction.”

Hen flinched a little, and King hated himself for it, but it had to be said. “What do you get out of it?”

“You. For three nights,” King told him, his honesty a bit brutal.

“You could have,” Hen whispered, “Before. Um.”

“I know,” King said. He couldn’t bring himself to hear Hen’s own cruel truth, but the unspoken words still sat there between them.

He could have had all of Hen…before everything went to hell. But it had, and as much as he still blamed himself for making the situation worse, the logical part of his brain continued to remind him that there was nothing more he could have done.

“This is what it is now, and I understand why you need this,” King told him. He forced himself to meet Hen’s gaze and found it easier to hold than he expected. Hen looked shit-scared like King was going to toss him out on his ass. King finally cracked and walked around the desk, dropping down to a knee beside the arm of Hen’s chair.

He heard the sharp breath Hen took, saw the way his fingers trembled, and he gathered his courage before laying his own massive hand over Hen’s delicate one.
