Rules of Engagement
1. Be available every Friday evening to Saturday morning.
2. Be ready. (Groomed to my standards.)
3. You're not to discuss this arrangement or details of this contract with anyone. 
4. This is not a relationship, there will be no such expectations.
5. Do not fall in love. This is grounds for dismissal...
The rules of the contract are very clear. They are in place for a reason. So why does Evelyn think she can just walk out on him? Why does she think she can keep testing and pushing his limits? It's not over until he says it is. Perhaps it's time he showed her what it means to be owned by Roman Ashfield.

The CEO's dirty little secret

　　Evelyn was shaky as she pulled a chair out and carefully lowered herself onto it. She heard the front door close and felt her tears start to sting her eyes but she blinked them back.


　　She’d given in without much of a fight and let him use her body as he always did. She’d wanted him to do it. How could she have reacted so strongly to him when she had been so angry with him? What was that? It had been almost violent, nothing at all like how it usually was between them, even the times she wanted it a little rough. It had been terrifying how she had gone from one strong emotion to another so seamlessly until she had been unable to distinguish between love and hate. Because she was sure she felt a little bit of that for him now.


　　A little bit of hate for making her love him. A little bit of hate for how he so easily manipulated every situation. A little bit of hate because she couldn’t resist him even now when he had left her stranded again.
