Intrigue. Lust. Distrust. Arsen's Rules Book 5. An Alpha Billionaire Romance
Even though Steele knew the rule about being anywhere alone with Rowan she found herself all alone in a room waiting to see Arsen as he was supposed to be brought in to see his lawyer. Tanner had yet to arrive, leaving the two alone, and both were surprised as a free Arsen walked in and found them talking about things Rowan had found out about Arsen.
Arsen flew into a rage and Rowan found himself punched before he knew what happened. Steele managed to get Arsen away from the young man and out to his waiting car before he did anything else to Rowan, getting himself into even more trouble.
Arsen went strangely quiet as they left the area of the police station as he saw someone he knew. He refused to let Steele in on what was wrong with him, making her furious and she argued with him about his need for her complete trust yet he wouldn’t give her his.
He told her she’d proven herself untrustworthy so far and until she proved different he would continue to question her and leave her out of things.
Once they got back to his apartment he let her know she had to be punished for staying in the room alone with Rowan. Steele found she wanted to show Arsen the lengths she’d go to for him. To get closer to him, she was willing to accept a little pain if it would bring them closer and help him to let her in.
After administering the punishment, Arsen found himself feeling guilt for spanking her. Something in him was changing, and he felt things needed to change between them.
At the same time he was feeling bad about how he was treating her, Steele was feeling bad about how she was making him soften. She knew the weak young man he’d been and didn’t want him to lose all the confidence he’d managed to gain after all that had happened to him.
When Arsen told her he wanted things to be different in their relationship he was surprised she didn’t agree with him. Instead she wanted him to make a dom/sub contract, a thing he told her they both needed to think about some more.
A bit later as the two showered, Steele saw the man they had seen outside of the police station looking up at Arsen’s penthouse. She decided the man needed to be looked in to. Especially after Arsen let her in on who the man was.
Arsen was opening up to her, and she was ecstatic. Steele pushed for him to make her his sub as she felt intrigued by the lifestyle and wanted to know about every aspect of the man.
After a bit of being treated like his sub, she found it not entirely what she’d thought, but wanted something solid binding them. Arsen decided to make up a contract and book for her. He was confident she was too strong willed to truly be happy with that lifestyle.
But is Steele wanting to commit to be his submissive before she really understands all which goes with that?
