holding onto his arm. None of the men were fooled by Shakes. They saw the interest he had in Daniella.
    “It must bug you though.” Daniella leaned against the bar looking around the room.
    “What must?” Shakes took a step closer and Steel grabbed his arm. When it came to Daniella, Shakes wasn’t thinking clearly.
    “He thinks a tough biker group is tamer than a group of tubby businessmen. I think it sucks for you,” she shrugged. “Can’t say I don’t mind but I’m getting tired of being ordered around.”
    “Would you like something to eat?” Deanna asked. “I know I’m starved.”
    Deanna took over, leading the young woman out of the room toward the kitchen.
    “Well, Zeke is treating us like a fucking babysitter for his kid,” Shakes said.
    “It’s not what you think. Joker’s with Zeke right now taking care of one of the men while also sending out a message. Zeke didn’t want Daniella near that shit. We’ve already talked about this,” Demon said.
    Steel stared at his President. “Why did you need me here?”
    “We need to talk about this woman you want working at the bar. I figured you’d rather I ask you all the questions than go find her myself.”
    Following his President to his office, he took a seat on one of the leather sofas. He was tired and couldn’t get Eloise out of his mind. The way she’d given herself to him in that kiss alone was playing over and over inside his head.
    “What do you want to know?”
    “We don’t need someone to serve drinks, Steel. We’re not an average fucking club that caters to the general population.”
    Running a hand down his jeans, Steel stared at his boss, the man he’d willingly die for. Demon was one of the Presidents who wasn’t afraid to step in front of a bullet for each of his members. “Eloise is the woman who works in the local supermarket.”
    “The one you’ve been getting a hard on for?”
    “I was there tonight and found her being attacked, nearly raped by her boss. The bastard is still breathing, but Eloise can’t work there anymore. I won’t allow it.”
    “You won’t allow it?”
    “She needs someone to take care of her otherwise she’s a walking, talking disaster, and not a good one. I can keep an eye on her here. It’s not just serving at the bar. She can clean the club or do something.”
    “Are you serious about this woman, Steel?”
    “I don’t know what I’m serious about. I only know that she can’t go back there.”
    “I’ll talk to the boys and get it settled.”
    “If you have to, take her salary out of my cut. I don’t care.”
    “Steel, you’re willing to give money up for this woman. You need to face facts that she could mean more than just another pussy you want to take control of.”
    “Can I go?” Steel asked.
    “Yeah, go.” Demon walked toward his desk and Steel left the room. He didn’t wait around for the pussy to bombard him. Going straight to his room at the clubhouse, he locked himself inside, sitting on the edge of the bed.
    Leaning forward, he rested his elbows on his knees and placed his chin on his hand. The kiss had been the first sign that he was sure of Eloise’s need to submit. She held herself back, and she was a submissive craving control if ever he saw one. He knew what he was looking for since he needed to be the one in control.
    Sitting beside her, he’d noticed a great deal about her. The childish pajamas were the first warning, trying not to show any sign of maturity. He would bet all of his money that underneath her control there was a woman begging to be set free. Her nipples had been rock hard, pressing against the front of her shirt. She’d spent a great deal of time clenching her thighs together. Every part of her world was neat and orderly, yet when he looked into her eyes, he saw the need shining back.
    Given the right person in control, he didn’t have a doubt in his mind that Eloise would open up like a flower in bloom.
    He couldn’t do it. Steel couldn’t
