can’t deny your nature, Amy,” Rex interrupted smoothly.
    “You don’t know what I want!”
    “No, but I’ve watched you here this morning.” His voice hardened in a way that made Amy shiver. “You intuitively respond to the slightest hint. You comply immediately. It’s in your nature to cede to others.” He paused and she glanced up in time to see him smile. “Or maybe just to me.”
    “I’m not my sister,” Amy began to argue.
    “Clearly. Joanna is completely comfortable with her submissive nature, while you seem determined to fight it.” Rex picked up his tea again, his gaze unswerving. “Are you suggesting that I can’t recognize the shape of desire? I’ve had a bit of practice.”
    Amy didn’t know what to say. She couldn’t tell Rex he didn’t know his business, but she didn’t want to be a submissive again. She didn’t doubt he’d demand far more of her than Eric and that it would be exciting, but that wasn’t why she’d come all this way.
    On the other hand, if she declined his offer, she’d never see inside this place again.
    “You’ve made your case,” Athena said with quiet force. “We’re just negotiating the terms under which we’ll hire you, if indeed we do make an offer.”
    Amy felt the will of both partners press on her and recognized that neither were used to being denied anything they wanted. “I know what I want…”
    “And we know better,” Athena countered.
    “You know we do,” Rex added.
    Amy swallowed. “I’ll consider any offer you make.”
    Rex nodded, unsurprised, and his confidence was both sexy and irritating. “Leave us your references and wait in the hall.”
    * * *
    Amy could have been in the foyer for a million years, give or take.
    Rick strode back and forth, performing his duties but keeping a hungry eye upon her. She was so tense that she could have screamed. What if her references were out of the office? What if they didn’t give her the recommendations they’d said they would?
    What if Rex changed his mind?
    What if he offered something she couldn’t accept?
    Could she deal with being trained as a submissive?
    Amy sat in the foyer, perched on her hands, trying not to fidget. She had just admitted to herself that she’d do anything to be inside this place, when she was summoned back into the office.
    Rex was sitting on the desk, drinking his tea, as watchful as a cat. His eyes seemed particularly green, and Amy wondered whether that was because he was going to fulfill her wish or his own. Athena had set her tea cup aside, and was using Rex’s laptop. She lifted a document from the printer and set it before Amy, with a pen alongside.
    An employment contract.
    With The Phoenix.
    Amy’s dream come true.
    “But…” she protested again, only to have Athena’s hand land on the back of her neck. The other woman’s perfume seemed to sweep around Amy, enveloping her in a cloud of exotic sweetness. Athena stroked her, as she might stroke a cat, and Amy caught her breath as her desire rose even higher. She’d never been with a woman, never really thought about it, but Athena’s touch was exciting.
    “We do know best,” Athena whispered, making Amy shiver.
    How could she say no and walk out of this place?
    While Amy stared at the contract, Rex picked up a pen. He wrote in her name at the top, added a salary that made Amy blink in delight, then turned the page to a blank space for extra conditions. He added:
     
    Specific responsibilities:
    1. To enhance computer security and defend data;
    2. To consult on guest applications;
    3. To be trained as a submissive by both Rex and Athena
    Contract is subject to renewal or termination one year after signing.
     
    One year. It could be an eternity.
    It could be the opportunity of a lifetime.
    Who knew what she’d be able to negotiate in a year?
    Rex dated the bottom of the page. He handed the pen to Athena, who signed. She offered the pen to Amy with a confident smile.
    It was the chance she wanted, if
