“This’ll only take a moment,” Khalohn informs Atzel as he steps out of the Maybach and smooths his hand over the crisp fabric of his pale-blue button-up. “Ten minutes.”

“Very well, Mr. Morgan,” replies his driver with a sharp nod.

Khalohn looks up at the store front of Clandestine’s Closet, wondering if he’ll have this view again soon, or if he’ll find himself on an indefinite hiatus from the underground bordello. Knowing better than to guess, he heads up the stairs toward the entrance, making the familiar trip through the store. After murmuring the password, he’s granted entrance, and he doesn’t hesitate when Stefano offers him his room key. He barely looks at the man, which is why he misses the careful stare casted his way as he passes by with hardly more than a glance. His mind is preoccupied. It’s been a busy twenty-four hours; and in spite of the hour, on the tail end of his weekend, he’s got more than a little business he needs to see to before the day is done.

When he approaches the door to his room, he forces in a deep breath, steeling himself for his next encounter. Control is something he needs to keep in his possession. He’s not oblivious. He is quite aware the loft he’s in the process of purchasing, the proposal he’s about to deliver, the speed at which his need has spurred him to act—it is proof that Bryn and the value she holds is enough for him to loosen the reigns he’s usually so careful to keep close. Before he opens the door, he reminds himself that while the choice will be hers, the power is still his.

He inserts the all too familiar skeleton key, twisting the lock free before he opens the door and steps inside. Out of habit, he doesn’t look for her until he’s locked them inside and discarded the key on the antique table. That done, he casually slides his hands into his pockets before he searches the room. As soon as he lays eyes on her, his fingers curl into fists in a desperate attempt to keep hold of his restraint.

Utterly gorgeous, he thinks, keeping his mouth closed as he pulls in a deep breath through his nose.

Jessica’s hand grips the wing of the armchair fiercely in a desperate attempt to keep her balance as her knees grow weak. Not five minutes ago, she couldn’t sit down, too antsy to remain still. The second she heard him insert his key into the lock, she felt frozen in place—unable to do so much as breathe. Now, as she watches his eyes take her in from head to toe, her whole body feels like it’s on fire simply from his perusal.

Her hair is loose, styled in big, wavy curls down her back. The lacey robe he’d gifted her a couple of nights prior seemed like an obvious choice. She wears it now over a matching, sheer, black panty and bra set. Remembering how much he liked her strappy sandals last time, she opted for the same heels.
