Chapter 34
Madison
I padded across the plush carpet, my legs still wobbly from our morning activities. Alexander lounged on the bed, absorbed in something on his phone, his naked form barely covered by the silk
sheets.
The bathroom door opened to a space bigger than my entire apartment. Marble countertops stretched for days, a rainfall shower occupied one corner, and a deep soaking tub dominated the center. Even the toilet looked expensive enough to pay my rent.
“Holy shit,” I whispered, running my fingers along the cool stone. Multiple shower heads lined the walls, and a bench seat beckoned invitingly. The mirror spanning the length of the counter reflected my disheveled appearance – hair a mess, lips were swollen, and… were those bite marks?
I winced as I stepped into the shower, the hot water hitting spots that reminded me just how thoroughly I’d been fucked. The expensive body wash smelled like him. As I lathered up, my mind wandered to his roughness, the way he’d manhandled me without asking, spanked me and ordered me around.
Sure, it felt amazing at the moment. But now? My ass still stung from his slaps, my breasts ached from his pinching, and my thighs trembled from being spread so wide. He hadn’t even asked if I liked it rough – just assumed he could do whatever he wanted with me.
Because he could. That was our deal, wasn’t it? I’d agreed to be his… what? Girlfriend? Sex toy? The line seemed blurry now.
I touched a tender spot on my neck where he’d bitten particularly hard. Through the steam–fogged glass, I could see more marks dotting my skin like a connect–the–dots of his possession. My cheeks burned, remembering how I’d begged for more, how easily. he’d reduced me to desperate pleas.
The shower’s multiple jets massaged my sore muscles but couldn’t wash away the feeling that I was way over my head. Alexander was experienced, demanding, and clearly used to getting exactly what he wanted in bed. And me? I was just the assistant who’d made a deal with the devil.
A very sexy devil with talented hands and a wicked tongue.
I groaned, pressing my forehead against the cool tile. This arrangement was going to be the death of
- me.
After drying off, I wrapped myself in the fluffiest robe I’d ever touched. It felt like being hugged by a cloud. Walking back into the bedroom, I caught Alexander’s gaze following my movements.
“Come here.” He patted the space beside him on the bed. A garment bag lay across the covers.

“What’s that?”
“Your clothes for today. I had them delivered while you were showering.”
I unzipped the bag, expecting some revealing outfit to make me blush. Instead, I found a casual cream sweater dress that looked impossibly soft and delicate undergarments that weren’t overtly
sexy.
“This is actually nice.” I touched the fabric, surprised by his tasteful choice.
“You sound shocked.” He raised an eyebrow. “I do know how to dress a woman without undressing her, contrary to what you might think.”
I clutched the robe tighter. “I just assumed…”
“That I’d make you parade around in something scandalous?” He smirked. “Save that for private moments.”
My cheeks heated as I gathered the clothes. Before I could retreat to change, he caught my wrist and pulled me onto his lap.
“Your hair’s a mess.” His fingers combed through my damp strands surprisingly gently. The tender gesture caught me off guard – it felt almost… boyfriendly.
“I can brush it myself,” I protested weakly but made no move to leave.
“Shut up and let me take care of you.” He worked through a tangle, his touch careful. “Besides, I’m partly responsible for this state.”
I snorted. “Partly?”
“Fine. Entirely.” His chest rumbled with quiet laughter. “Though I didn’t hear any complaints at the time.”
The casual intimacy of the moment made my heart flutter traitorously. I had to remember this was just business – an arrangement. But with his hands in my hair and his warmth seeping through my robe, it was hard to keep that line clear.
I shifted in his lap, hyper–aware of his hands still working through my hair. Each gentle tug sent tingles down my spine, starkly contrasting his roughness earlier.
“You’re tense.” His fingers paused. “Are you sore?”
“I’m fine,” I mumbled, but my body betrayed me as I winced when he touched a sensitive spot on my
neck.
“Liar.” He tilted my chin, examining the marks he’d left. “I got carried away.”

“It’s nothing.”
“Madison.” His tone commanded attention. “Be honest with me. Was I too rough?”
Heat crept up my cheeks. “No. I… I liked it.”
“I know you did.” His smirk returned. “Your screams made that clear. But that doesn’t mean I shouldn’t take care of you after.”
Before I could protest, he untied my robe, letting it pool around my waist. His warm hands slid over my shoulders, kneading the tight muscles.
“Mr. Knight, you don’t have to-”
“Shh.” His thumbs worked a particularly tense spot, making me melt against him. “Let me do this.”
His touch was methodical, finding every knot and working it loose. When his hands moved to my breasts, gently massaging the tender flesh, I bit back a moan.
“These need attention, too,” he murmured, kissing my shoulder. “I wasn’t exactly gentle with them.

I should have stopped him. This wasn’t part of our arrangement – this softness, this care. But his hands felt too good, and my body was already responding to his touch.
He reached for something on the nightstand—a jar of cream. “This will help with the marks.

The cool sensation of the cream, combined with the warmth of his hands, made me shiver. He took his time, carefully treating each bite mark and bruise.
“There,” he said, finishing with a playful squeeze of my ass. “Better?”
I nodded, not trusting my voice. This tender side of him was dangerous – it made me forget this was just business.
He pressed a kiss to my temple. “Now get dressed before I’m tempted to mark you up all over again.”
I stood, clutching the robe around me as I gathered the clothes. “I should probably get ready then.”
“Don’t take too long.” His eyes followed me as I retreated to the bathroom.
The undergarments he’d chosen were surprisingly practical – a cream lace bra with matching panties that actually provided coverage. The sweater dress slipped on like butter, hugging my curves without being too tight. Looking in the mirror, I had to admit he had good taste. The outfit was elegant yet comfortable.
I emerged to find him dressed in a sharp charcoal suit, adjusting his tie in the mirror. He turned, his

eyes sweeping over me appreciatively.
“Perfect,” he murmured, stepping closer to smooth a strand of hair behind my ear. His touch lingered on my neck, making me shiver.
