It's nearly the end of the day and I have an uneasy feeling about going out with Kate tonight. After Christian had called at lunchtime, Kate called me up saying she has a whole night on the town planed out for us. She is also not taking no as an answer. She has managed to get us a table at my favorite club, The Zig Zag Café, just about three blocks away from the apartment.
Sure I would love to go out with Kate tonight, I mean I haven't seen her in god knows how long and to be completely honest I miss my girly time with her but I don't want to make Christian madder then he already is at me.
Or do we? My inner goddess purrs, eyes gleaming.
The muscles deep inside my belly start to clench in delight as I think about what he might do to me. The possibilities are endless! The playroom, on the billiard table, his desk, the piano, our room…..
Get it together Steel! My subconscious calls out bringing me back to the now before I can go into the yummy details.
I glance up to the clock on my office wall and see that I still have about two hours to go before the end of day. I try to go back to doing my work but I can't stop debating about whether I should go out or not.
At 5:30 my phone rings and its Sawyer letting me know that he is ready to pick me up from SIP, well now Grey Publishing. Slowly I start to pack up my things and start heading to the elevators.
Come on Steele, let's ruffle up his feathers a bit! My inner goddess pipes up.
Remember the last time you disobeyed him? My subconscious glares up at me from her copy of Sense and Sensibility.
Almost immediately my hand flies to my butt as I remember the stinging bite of the cane.
He's in New York for goodness sake! Not waiting at Escala cane in hand and any way he said he is a in the moment kind of guy! Inner goddess has her heels and red lips on, begging to go out.
I exit the elevator and head towards the waiting car. I know what I'm going to do tonight, no matter what. As I get closer Sawyer jumps out and opens up the back door for me. I slide in and tell Prescott to drive me to Kate's apartment. After a glare from her in the review mirror she pulls into traffic and heads in the direction of her apartment.
Very discreetly I pull out my BlackBerry and text Kate
*Going out tonight. Need an outfit*
Seconds later I get a reply From Kate
*So knew you wouldn't say no! Can lend you something :D*
*See you in about ten then :D*
As we slowly make our way to Kate's apartment in the afternoon traffic my mind starts to think about the last time I was in the apartment. I still get shivers at the memory of Leila pointing that gun at me.
