Fallon had to admit the wine did settle her a little, but she continued to feel Brian’s eyes wherever she was in the room, like tiny knives stabbing at her. The dinner she’d nibbled at lay like lead in her stomach, threatening to hurl itself back up her throat. He was obviously beyond enraged that she’d ignored his call. That she hadn’t shown up at the hotel. She was sure if he got her alone—

No. He’s not going to. Cord won’t let him.

Besides. She’d ignored him once. She could do it again.

One step at a time.

Of all the stupid things she’d ever done in her life—and there were more than she wanted to recount—falling under Brian’s spell was the most stupid. But she’d been so seduced by the power of him, by the edgy nature of their bondage games. By the intensity of her orgasms when he allowed her to have them. She’d given him more and more control, just for those rare moments of excruciating pleasure, for a smile from him, a reward, until she’d finally lost herself completely.

She knew he was evil. He had nearly destroyed her. Would have, if not for Claire. Yet he was still like a fulminating disease inside her, tainting her relationship with Cord and invading her defenses. He wouldn’t stop coming after her.

The question was, how long could she hold out?

Fallon gave herself a mental shake. A sickness. That was how she had to look at it. And she had to find a cure, a way to break the invisible power he held over her. She looked up to see Cord watching her from across the room, even while he chatted with some people.

Her eyes tracked over and there was Brian, sending her silent commands.

Get a grip.

This was Cord’s big night. Every luminary, every person who could use this facility or send people to it, was gathered in this room. He needed her support and she’d give it to him, come hell or high water. She could do this. Especially with Claire close beside her whenever Cord was busy.

She could fall apart later.

By the time they’d said their final goodbyes and the last person had been ushered out the door, Fallon was in a state of near collapse. When Brian had passed her on his way out the door, he’d bent low and whispered in her ear.

“You didn’t show up for lunch. Very bad, slave. I will punish you for it. And you’d better show up the next time I call, or your phony Dom won’t know what hit him.”

“Leave him alone,” she’d hissed. “He’s not part of this.”

“As long as you’re with him, he is. Think about it.” Then he was gone.

“You did a great job, Fallon. Thank you for everything.” Cord nipped her ear. “A lot of people signed the book to be contacted. You’ll be a busy person for a while.”

She turned to him and grabbed his lapels. “Good. Keep me busy. Too busy to think about—anything. Please.”

He cupped her face.
