I tried to stand up so I could face him, but his hand immediately flattened over my lower back and held me in place. I blew out a sigh and nodded. “Vaguely. What’s this about?”
“Well, it seems one of us who knows better forgot himself last night.” His hands moved to my dress and slowly worked it up over my hips and over my back. “Are you open to other forms of punishment, Sugar?”
The two sentences were so at odds that it took me a moment to think it out and come to my answer. Punishment didn’t count the same as sex. It was different. “Yes.”
“Good. We’re going to do something a little different this morning. Something a little frustrating. Something to let you feel an ounce of how I was feeling this morning when I found myself watching a video of you getting fucked.”
I jerked upright and then gasped when Dominic was immediately over me, his body warm and oddly comforting in that moment of panic. “A video?”
He held me like that, bent over his desk, his body solid as I tried to process what that meant. “It’s been handled. There’s one copy left in the world and it’s on my computer. It’ll be deleted as soon as we’re done here. You’ll watch me delete it so you know for sure.”
When I relaxed slightly, he moved back to his chair and pushed my dress back up. My heart pounded as my body warred between panic and arousal. “How?”
“There are security cameras outside of The Brownstone. Just like every other fucking building we own. Holden should’ve known better. I understand being unable to think when you’re involved, though, Sugar. I had a moment like that myself this morning.”
He hooked his thumbs into the sides of my panties and tugged them down. “I woke up to a call from my PI. Someone downloaded the video from the main device at the restaurant. It alerted my guy and he went to handle it immediately. I had to watch the stolen footage to see what the person had tried to steal.”
I was going to die of embarrassment. I covered my face and shook my head.
“Imagine my frustration when I had to sit still and act unbothered while I watched you get fucked against the side of a car. Keeping a clear head and thinking clearly while watching you come for Holden wasn’t easy, Sugar. It’s hard to think straight with all the blood in my body rushing to my dick.”

Hiswordssankinslowly. I looked back at him over my shoulder, unsure of what to expect. “You were yelling. You’re mad.”
“AtHolden. He should’ve known better. He put you at risk. He didn’t mean to, but he did. If Alex hadn’t been paying attention, that video could’ve been released. We’ve grown the company enough in the last ten years that there are people who’d love to get something like that over us. Your privacy and safety could’ve been jeopardized.”
I breathed out a sigh of relief and slumped on top of the desk. As stupid as it was, I’d been horrified that he’d been hurt by seeing what I’d done with Holden.
“Sugar, I’m not mad at you. Watching you nearly killed me, but that’s a death I’d gladly take. I’m mad at Holden for being dumb, and I’m furious with the fucking idiot who thought he could take advantage of you and Holden. He’s being dealt with and Holden feels like shit and that just leaves you.”
“But I thought you weren’t mad at me.”
His hands were large enough that he cupped my ass without a problem. He squeezed my cheeks and pulled them apart, exposing every part of me. “I’m not.”
“You’re going to punish me, though.”
“Maybe it’s a little selfish.” He blew out a breath over my core. “Youwerenaughty, though. Getting fucked in public, Sugar, that’s bold.”
His voice had slipped from controlled and in charge to charged and controlling. The difference lit my body on fire and made me forget everything else but what came next.
When he leaned forward and hit a button on his computer, I glanced over and saw a very clear view of the parking lot outside of The Brownstone. I watched as Holden and I hurried across it, so clearly visible. I then watched as Holden pinned me to the side of his car and kissed me senseless.
“Look at how fucking beautiful you are. I can’t really blame Holden for forgetting.” Dominic’s breath was hotter against my core as he leaned closer. “Have you ever heard of edging?”
I sucked in a sharp breath. “Yes.”
“Remember your safe word?”
“Yes.”
“Do you need to use it?”
I shook my head instantly. “No.”
He moved closer and nudged my lower lips with his nose. “Now?”
