Chapter Five

“W
hat are you doing here,” Paige asked as she opened her front door to find Camille outside.

“I came to get you ready for tonight. I figured we’d get you waxed and do some pampering,” Camille sang as she swiped into the door with a garment bag slung over her arm.

“For your information, I went for a wax yesterday and decided to pamper myself while I was out after the doctor’s appointment. By the way, I think the questionnaire there was as long as the one at the club,” Paige murmured.

“Well since you just ruined my plans for the day how about we go to the hairdresser instead. You haven’t changed your hair since college. I don’t even know what it looks like down. I mean how long is it and when was the last time you wore in something other than some type of bun or chignon. Change is good Paige,” Camille rattled off.

“Okay, what does my hair have to do with this?” Paige said putting her hand on her hip and cocking it to the side.

“We both know I love you like a sister, so I’m going to be straight with you. You have such a tight grip on life and the way you want things to go. I know that has helped you get to where you are, but sweetie it is okay to sightsee on the journey,” Camille said warmly. “Hell, if I followed everything that was planned out for me I would be miserable and doll you are miserable in this little bubble of yours. Let’s shake things up. I promise you won’t lose any of that hard work you’ve done, you’ll only enhance it.”

“Fine,” Paige huffed. “But I draw the line with changing the color and you’re not getting me to cut it off.”

“You seem to be in a great mood today,” Sam said to Bobby.

Bobby looked up from his niece in his arms with a smile. He had nothing to be upset about. He was spending time with the little girl that had stolen all the men in the family’s heart and later tonight he would spend time with the one woman that had stolen his heart.

Bobby frowned, w
here did that thought come from?
He had been thinking about Paige since he received the email of her preferences. He had a whole night of pleasure planned for her. He wasn’t expecting some of her preferences but he would be lying to say he wasn’t disappointed with some of her limitations. He wanted to kiss those full luscious lips of hers badly, but it was one of her don’ts.

That wasn’t going to stop him though he planned to kiss her other places the way he wanted to kiss her lips. The night couldn’t come sooner. He would finally get his fill of Paige Kemble and be able to get rid of this itch to have her. Yes he was in a great mood.

“I’m with my favorite little girl and my family. What’s not to be in a good mood about?” Bobby replied and bounced baby Jessica on his lap.

“I don’t know, you have this look in your eyes,” Marcus said with a knowing grin.

“What is with you two? Can’t I relax for once,” Bobby shrugged and started cooing at Jessica. “Your daddy and your uncle don’t know how to leave well enough alone.”

“If I didn’t know better I would think this had something to do with a woman,” Sam chuckled.

“Okay,” Bobby sighed and stood with the baby in his arms. “I think it’s time to go for a walk.”

“Oh Bobby, I was just coming to get her,” Sam’s wife, Ellen, said with a smile as she entered the room. “You guys catch up and us girls will get cleaned up for lunch.”

“Perfect timing baby, as always,” Sam crooned.

Bobby groaned internally as Ellen took the baby and exited the room. He took a deep breath and turned back for his seat. His brothers were always meddling in his love life now that they were both settling down. He already had his mother and father on his back. He didn’t need to hear it from these two.

“How is that assistant of yours,” Sam said with a smug grin. “I hear Seth isn’t panning out the way old Mc Wien wanted and he is spreading talk of pulling his daughter out the marriage to make a more lucrative merger.”

“Seriously,” Marcus scowled. “Aren’t they married with like three kids or something? Austin Mc Wien will stop at nothing for a buck I tell you. I don’t see how you ever did business with him.”

“The man is ruthless but great to have in your corner. Besides I know Seth and Camille have children but I don’t think it was ever a marriage of their choosing,” Sam shrugged.

“I don’t get into her personal life and I would prefer to keep her out of mine,” Bobby said dryly.

“Yeah, well that is a shame since she happens to be really close to the woman you do want to know personally,” Marcus teased with a smile.

Bobby never thought he could want to punch a face that looked so much like his own, but right now he would love to slug Marcus. Just one good one in the nose, not that it wouldn’t lead to a fight, it always did. Growing up in a house with three boys made a man tough and all three Mairettie brothers were just that. Though Bobby was sure he could still take his baby brother, even being the shortest of the three at Six four, he was still the most fit and built.

Hours of yoga, martial arts and some kickboxing would do that for a guy. Bobby made it to the gym whenever he could, whether in the office, at home or the gym he was a member of. Being a member at Desire offered a great workout at times as well. Bobby was going to make sure it would tonight.

“Wait, what am I missing?” Sam asked sitting forward in his seat.

“Nothing,” Bobby grumbled.

“Yeah, right,” Marcus chuckled. “Our big brother has a thing for Paige.”

“Wait, the Princess, Dad’s golden girl? Oh this is priceless,” Sam laughed. “Wait till Dad finds out.”

“He is not going to find out,” Bobby bit out.

“So have you asked her out yet?” Sam asked waving off Bobby’s retort.

“No, it would make things complicated at the office and like you said she is too important to the firm, well to Dad,” Bobby exhaled and ran a hand through his hair.

“Some days I think she is the son he never had,” Marcus laughed.

“I actually think Dad would be happy about it,” Sam mused. “Think about it, his golden boy son and the Princess who can find a win in just about any loss.”

“Yeah, well I’d have to be his golden boy,” Bobby said bitterly.

“Dude, you are way too hard on yourself,” Marcus sighed becoming more serious. “Dad is harder on you then the rest of us because he wants to hand things over to you. What you don’t see is the way he watches you and the look in his eyes when he does. If Paige Kemble is the Princess at Mairettie & Mairettie you are definitely the Prince, make no mistakes about it, you have earned the title. So has Paige to be honest.”

“I like her. She did a great job with those contracts for me last year and I think she handles you and Dad great. Everyone else at the firm walks on eggshells around you two but she marches to her our drum. I respect that more because she is a black woman. I mean you would think she would be more cautious in a male dominated white world, but I don’t think she got the memo that she is different,” Sam thought out loud.

“I like that about her too. It used to drive me insane but I sort of look forward to it now. It keeps me on my toes,” Bobby sighed running his fingers through his hair again. “Did either of you know much about that French guy she was dating?”

For the first time, tonight didn’t seem like such a good idea. Bobby had to admit to himself he wanted something totally different with Paige. But the thought of her going to the club and another man touching her mocha skin made his blood boil with rage. Bobby had never been a jealous man but there was a first for everything.

“Not much,” Sam shrugged.

“I met him once when they first started dating and I’ve come across him in a few business deals since,” Marcus offered. “I can’t say I’m surprised with the engagement thing. I don’t think he was ever faithful to Paige. Personally, I think the guy is a pig and sort of a tool.”

“What did she see in him,” Bobby wondered out loud not realizing he spoke the words.

“At first I thought it was the money, but remember when I worked on the Coleman case with her last year?” Sam and Bobby nodded. “I got to know Paige a lot better with all the late nights. She handles her own were finances are concerned from what I learned. She is extremely smart but when it comes to man she’s a bit cold and distant, a means to an end. She talked of their relationship more like an arrangement of convince. I’m not even sure the guy was getting any action.”

Marcus’s last words brought a smile to Bobby’s face. He let the rest of his brother words sink in and decided that maybe having her at the club would be the only option he had. Sex at the club was cold and distant, a means to an end. At this point he was willing to take her anyway he could have her. He would just have to make sure tonight that she not only joined the club but that his cock was what she carved the club for.

“Listen, I have some things I need to do before tonight,” Bobby said and stood to leave.

“I think you should go for it Bobby,” Sam said. “This guy she was with just wasn’t the right guy. It doesn’t mean she will be that way with you.”

Marcus snorted. “I don’t know. She is a bit of a man eater I tell you.”

“Enough,” Bobby said in a low growl. He rolled his shoulders and pinched the bridge of his nose. “I’ll call you guys later and no more talk about Paige, especially not around the old man.”

“As you wish,” Sam nodded at him with a mischievous grin.

Bobby narrowed his eyes and shook his head at his brothers. He knew they both had plans to meddle and he would have to keep a close eye on the two. He left Sam’s house resigned that he would have Paige in his club playroom and that would have to be enough. With any real hope he would have her tonight and be able to just move on.

Chapter Six

P
aige couldn’t believe she let Camille talk her into not only dying her hair but cutting it off. Her once dark brown hair was now auburn making her light brown eyes pop from her face. The long locks that use to fall down her back were now in deep choppy layers. The cut was hot and framed her face but it gave hair thick hair a fuller shapely look. The cut looked as expensive as it was.

She had to admit to herself that it made her feel sexy. The dress Camille poured her into was doing a lot to help. It was a tight black dress that hugged her curves and showed off her back and her cleavage. It was short and with the red pumps Camille insisted she wear it made her legs look like they went on for days.

Paige was so nervous her stomach was tied in knots. She was grateful Camille decided she would spend a night at the club, because if she went alone she was sure she would have turned around by now. She was still considering walking out.

“Welcome back Miss. Kemble, Mrs. Carter it is lovely to see you again. I have your room set up and waiting for you Mrs. Carter, you will be in Bliss this evening. Here is your keycard,” Lisa greeting Paige and Camille.

“Thank you. Lisa, please take good care of my friend here,” Camille cooed and wiggled her eyebrows at Paige. “Love you doll, just relax and enjoy.”

Paige was ready to freak out. She gave Camille one last pleading look before Camille giggled and took off. Paige sighed deeply and tugged at the hem of her dress.
I’m Paige Kemble, I can do this
, she encouraged herself mentally. Squaring her shoulders she looked at Lisa and smiled.

“It’s now or never, Lisa,” Paige huffed.

Lisa laughed and locked her arm in Paige’s. “Relax, you are a very lucky woman. I have no idea how you did it but you pulled our best advisor out of hiding. There isn’t one woman here that wouldn’t want to be in your shoes. Only a handful of women can say they’ve had the pleasure,” Lisa purred.

“What makes him so special? Why would he come out of hiding for me? I thought this was all anonymous,” Paige started to panic.

Lisa chuckled. “It is Miss. Kemble. You just have luck on your side. And what makes him special is that he is a sex god. Rumor is he works magic without even touching you.”

Paige felt her stomach clench. Was she really that lucky? The anticipation that was building was enough to make her dizzy. Lisa led her into a small elevator and they rode to the top floor once Lisa swiped a keycard. Paige felt comforted by the sweet young girl. She was a very attractive redhead with a curvy figure and bright smile. Paige figured she was eye candle for the male recruits and just friendly enough to put the women at ease.

They stepped out of the elevator and Paige noticed there were fewer doors on this floor than the ones below where she had entered and where the private room was her first night. Lisa walked her to the end of the hall. Paige counted six doors in all in the long hallway.

Lisa swiped her keycard again and stepped back for Paige to enter the large room. Paige stepped in and her eyes went wide. Her throat was suddenly dry and fear spike up her spine. They had to be in the wrong place. She hadn’t signed up for the BDSM scene, which was one of her big nos. She turned to Lisa with her mouth hanging open.

Lisa stifled a giggle. “Your advisor is well aware of your limitation and he won’t do anything you don’t want. This is just our standard playroom for intake sessions. You look like you could use a drink would you like one before I get you set up?”

“Please,” Paige exhaled as she took one more nervous look around the room.

Bobby was stunned when the door opened to the playroom and Paige stepped in. The anticipation was killing him. He had been hiding in the viewing room for an hour now awaiting her arrival. He wanted to be there to watch her as Lisa prepared her for him. It wasn’t unusual for the advisors to watch the new recruits before the session started he was just never interested in watching before.

Paige was stunning in the curve hugging mini dress she had on. He had never seen her dressed like this before. Her silky long leg and full breasts were on display for him in a way that had his blood simmering. All that brown skin would belong to him tonight. But the shock didn’t stop there.

She had done something new with her hair. He had never seen her wear it down and she lightened it. Her eyes stood out in a way he had never seen before. The layers her hair had been cut into flowed artfully down her back.

Bobby couldn’t wait to wrap those locks around his hand and tug her hair while he made her scream. His jeans were unbearably tight just at the sight of her. He registered the panic in her face when she took in the room and his own panic set in. She looked like she was ready to bolt.

He scowled a little when Lisa offered her a drink. He liked his women sober and fully aware of him, but from the look on Paige’s face she would be out the door if she didn’t get a drink. He was too close to having her for this to go wrong now.

Lisa went to the hidden bar and fixed Paige a fruity looking drink and walked back over to Paige. Paige took the drink from her hand and downed it in one gulp before handing the glass back over. Lisa took the glass back to the bar then began to move around the room to set up.

Paige stood watching her, ringing her hands as her eyes bounced from Lisa then around the room. Paige knew she was in way over her head. What could she be thinking? It was time to go. She couldn’t let some stranger have his way with her body. This was so out of her comfort zone she could feel herself losing control.

“I can’t do this,” Paige blurted and bolted for the door.

Bobby shot up from his chair ready to run after her, but that would only make things worse. He stepped closer to the looking glass and placed his hand on it as if that could will Paige to stop. He lips were parted as if he were about to call her name and his chest was rising and falling with his baited breath.

“Miss. Kemble,” Lisa said gently causing Paige to stop. She hadn’t turned around she just stopped in her tracks. She could hear herself breathe and her heart slamming against her chest. “Paige.”

Paige turned at the soothing sound of Lisa’s voice. Lisa had a reassuring smile on her face. Paige smoothed her hands down the front of her dress and slightly nodded at Lisa. She didn’t know what kept her from running from the room.

“Your advisor will not do anything you don’t want. You can always ask him to stop and he will. If you just want to ask him questions about the club he will be willing to answer those too. This is for your pleasure. Try to relax and I assure you, you will be happy you tried,” Lisa coaxed.

Paige nodded again and stepped back toward Lisa. Bobby sighed in relief behind the glass. “Shit,” he murmured. That was a close one. Lisa had gotten her to stay but he wasn’t sure if he could stay sane if Paige only wanted to ask questions tonight. He had to get her to relax and give in to him.

He knew that wasn’t going to be easy but she was right here within his grasp. He wouldn’t want this as much if it was as easy as the other women made it. He wouldn’t make this last as long as he planned if it were any of them. He planned to take all night exploring her body if she let him.

“You can put your purse in the top draw over there. All of our members are of the elite. You don’t have to worry about your things,” Lisa pointed to the dresser in the corner of the room.

“Okay,” Paige whispered and took her purse to the drawer.

“Okay,” Lisa purred. “Your advisor asked that I stand you here.”

Lisa pointed to the middle of the floor underneath a pair of cuffs hanging from the ceiling. Paige looked at Lisa then up at the cuffs. She started to chew on her bottom lip. Bobby groaned as he watched her mouth. It was the one thing he was sure she was going to deny him this evening and it was one of the things he wanted most, to taste her sweet lips.

Paige shook her hands out before her then stepped forward to where Lisa pointed. Lisa placed her hands gently on Paige’s shoulders and turned her toward the viewing room. Paige blinked at herself in the elegant mirror that was also the glass Bobby stood behind. She was really going through with this.

“I’m going to blindfold you,” Lisa said cautiously. “After I do I will be leaving the room and your advisor will be the next one to enter. You are perfectly safe. Do you need anything else before we begin?”

Paige took a deep breath then shook her head. If she was going to do this she had to do it now. She was seconds away from freaking out completely. Lisa placed the blindfold over her eyes and gave Paige’s shoulder a gently pat before turning to leave the room.

Paige heard the soft click of the door closing followed by nothing but the sound of her breathing and her heart hammering. It seemed like hours passed before the sound of soft music entered the room, but it was really only seconds. The sound of a door opening caused her to jump a little and turn her head.

“No, need to be alarmed,” a deep voice purred from behind her and caressed her skin moments after the door that opened clicked shut.

Paige felt comforted by the voice right away. It was so familiar and soothing. She chuckled internally. She couldn’t imagine any of the men she knew here. Camille had asked her to be open about race but she still noted on her application that she was open but preferred black men. She couldn’t picture one black guy she knew here, hard as she tried.

He placed his large warm hand on Paige’s waist and stepped up against her back. The electricity coming from him relaxed her more. She was stunning by her own physical reaction to this stranger. She could feel the evidence of his arousal press into her behind. “What would you like me to call you,” he murmured against her ear before nuzzling it and inhaling her scent.

“Um, Paige,” she wanted to kick herself for using her real name. He was distracting her and she wasn’t thinking clearly as his left hand splayed across her belly.

“Mmm, Paige you smell so good,” he crooned and nipped her ear.

Paige whimpered and he chuckled at her response to him. If he wasn’t careful he wasn’t going to be able to control himself for long. She was melting into him like the perfect fit.

He started to rain soft kisses down her neck as his palm slide to cup her full breast. Paige arched her back into him and tilted her head to give him more access. All thoughts of just asking questions first fly out of the window. He scooped her hair over one shoulder and let the kisses travel from her neck to her shoulder to her back. He paved his way down her back with open mouth kisses to her ass where he took a nip of her plump rear end.

“Mm… Baby, I need you out of this dress,” he purred.

Paige felt her inside light up. She was on fire from the inside out. No man had ever gotten to her this quickly or this intensely. She could feel that her thong was ruined and her inner thighs was starting to get soaked.

He stood up behind her and reached for the zipper on her dress slowly pulling it down, letting his fingers graze her skin as the zipper went down. Paige moaned at the contact and he smiled at how responsive she was to him. The dress fell to the floor and he reached for her hand to guide her to step out of it before he lifted the dress and sat it neatly across a chair.

Paige stood completely still anticipating his return. She gasped when he arms wrapped around her and tugged her against his bare chest. She could feel his ejection push into her stomach and she was pleasantly surprised at the bulge. Paige could feel his breath against her lips as if he were going to kiss her while he caressed her back. He let his fingers slide down her back and dipped between her cheeks, before squeeze both cheeks lifting her off her feet and up against him.

“You have an amazing body,” he growled against her lips. Paige was lost in a haze of desire but she couldn’t shake the feeling that she knew his voice so well.

Instead of his lips crushing hers he kissed the corner of her mouth and made his way to her jawline and down to her collarbone. Paige was panting so loud it was echoing in her own head. When he loosened his grip on her setting her back on her feet she cried out at the feel of his mouth wrapping around her hardened nipple.

She reached for his chest and marveled in the chiseled physique under her fingertips. He groaned at her touch as her hands traveled to his shoulders while his tongue and mouth gave her nipple a sweet torture. “Oh yes,” Paige cried as her leg trembled and her knees went weak.

He groaned and moved to her other breast to give it equal loving. His hands were everywhere. He couldn’t believe he had her in his arms after countless nights of fantasies all starring her. Endless dreams of her body beneath him, it was all coming true. He had to slow down. This was about her. He needed her to want to commit to the club, commit to invitations from only him.

“Do you trust me, Paige,” he murmured against her ear before flicking his tongue out against her lobe.

“Yes,” she whimpered without giving it a second thought.

He took a step back and reached for her right hand and the right cuff above her. He noticed the nervous twitch in her neck when she realized what was coming next. He kissed her fingertips pulling her middle finger into his mouth eliciting a moan. Gently he raised her hand and placed in the cuff.

Paige started to panic at the sound of the click. It was like cold water being thrown on her. With her free hand she covered her breasts and stumbled back out of his reach. She was panting for a whole other reason now.
