shrugged. “Who knows? You know how women can
be.” He sipped his drink. “Maybe she thinks I’m interested in her.
She was a pretty hot number in that leather get-up.”
Jealousy surged through Ryan at the fact Spencer had
noticed Cindy. Had ogled her delightful body in that very revealing
sub costume.
“So why do you want to find her?” Spencer asked.
Fuck. Ryan didn’t want it to get around the office.
What he did was his business.
“I found her earring. I saw her drop it and wanted
to ensure she got it back.”
“Well, you could just give it to me and I’ll give it
to Serena.”
“Serena?” Ryan stared at Spencer in surprise. “Your
secretary? That’s who you’re sleeping with.”
“Yeah, well…” Spencer looked appropriately contrite.
“I didn’t mean to let that slip.”
But Ryan doubted that. Serena was a beautiful woman.
Tall with strawberry blonde hair that cascaded past her shoulders.
She had a stunning figure. That would be enough to capture the
attention of most men, but Serena also had that indefinable
quality…and ability to put someone in their place with just a
glance. It occurred to him that a Dominatrix costume fit her to a
T. She probably loved to be in control in the bedroom.
Yes, most of the men in the office drooled over her
and Spencer would love others to know he was fucking her.
“So why don’t you give me the earring?” Spencer
suggested, holding out his hand.
“I don’t have it with me,” Ryan lied. Somehow he
felt it would lead him to her and he was unwilling to give it
up.
“Maybe give it to me in the office then.”
“Sure,” Ryan said. “But why don’t you try again with
Serena?”
Spencer smiled. “I don’t think this is about an
earring. You fucked this woman at the party and now you’re looking
for more of the same. Am I right?”
“Just ask her, okay?” Ryan gestured for the
bartender and handed him his credit card.
The bartender nodded and walked toward the cash.
When he returned seconds later, Ryan signed the bill and stood up.
As he pushed his wallet back into his pocket, he glanced at the
other man.
“I have to ask,” Ryan said. “How do you do it?”
Spencer’s eyebrows arched. “Do what?”
“Have sex with someone you work so closely with?
Aren’t you worried it will affect your working relationship?”
Spencer shrugged. “Why should it? It’s just sex. And
if things get awkward at work—especially after we end it—I can just
have her transferred somewhere else.”
Ryan wasn’t sure he liked Spencer’s cavalier
attitude. Ryan wouldn’t want anything to ruin the working
relationship he had with Kali.

Ryan stared at the earring, the sunlight shining in
the big window behind his desk glittering on the stones.
Distractedly, he twirled the tiny gold post between his
fingers.
Someone walked into the office and he glanced up to
see Mary Ann from accounting approaching his desk.
“Mr. Blair, I have those monthly reports you asked
for.” She placed a binder on his desk, then her gaze caught on the
earring he was holding.
“Oh, you found Kali’s earring.”
His gaze ricocheted from the garnets to her
face.
“You think this is Kali’s?”
“It looks like it. May I see?” She held out her hand
and he placed the earring in her palm. She examined it and
nodded.
“Yeah, she wears them all the time. When I noticed
she didn’t have them on a couple of days ago I asked her about it
and she said she’d lost one.” Mary Ann handed the earring back.
“Her sister gave them to her and they mean a lot to her. She’ll be
happy you found it.”
Disbelief surged through him as he stared at the
tiny earring. The woman he’d been with… that he’d fantasized was
Kali the whole time he’d been fucking her… had actually been Kali?
God, he’d actually fucked Kali!
His cock lurched, wanting to do it again so badly he
could barely see straight.
“Mary Ann, don’t mention this to Kali. I want to see
her face
