Roman’s POV

“You’re drugged and you don’t know what you’re saying.”

“I know exactly what I’m saying.” She grinned, mischievous and bold. “I’m saying you’re a control freak who likes to be in charge. And I’m admitting that I like when you tell me what to do. I like when you pin me down. I like when you use that CEO voice and make me obey.”

Her words were torturing me slowly.

“Anna”

“But right now,” she continued, “you’re using all that control to not touch me. You’re being the dominant CEO who says no, who makes the rules and decides when and where and how.”

She pouted. “And it’s very frustrating.”

I couldn’t help the small laugh that escaped. Even drugged and uninhibited, she was still somehow able to see right through

“Go to sleep.” My tone was firmer.

“Fine.” She huffed and turned away, shifting under the covers. “Just so you know, this is the second time you’re pushing me away when I was literally throwing myself at you. When I’m sober, I don’t know if I’ll be grateful or annoyed.”

“Probably both.”

“Probably.” She agreed, her voice already getting softer. Then after a pause, “I really hate you right now.”

“I know.” I pulled the covers over her and tucked them around her body, smoothing the fabric even though my hands wanted to do anything but. “But you’ll thank me tomorrow. Get some rest. You’ll feel better soon. The drug will wear off and you’ll be yourself again.”

She hissed and shut her eyes, turning away from me. Her shoulder rose as she buried her face into the pillow. “Don’t talk or even look at me.”

“Okay.”

“I mean it.”

“I know.”

“You’re the worst.”

“I know that too.”

I stayed there for a moment, watching the rise and fall of her breathing as her body finally relaxed into the mattress.

Maybe the cold shower had worked after all, and she would actually sleep this off and wake up tomorrow with nothing but a headache and embarrassment.

I stood and walked to the other side of the bed, sliding under the covers. I kept distance between us, lying on my back and staring at the ceiling. My body was still tense.

Chapter 184

I forced my eyes closed and tried to find sleep.

But it didn’t come.

Instead, I lay there in the dark, listening to her breathing, waiting for her to drift off so I could finally relax.

Then I heard it.

A soft whimper, barely audible but familiar.

My eyes opened and I turned my head slightly, listening.

Another sound followed, and heat shot through me.

I sat up and turned around.

Anna was touching herself again. Her hand had disappeared under the covers, moving between her legs.

Her hips rolled in small circles against her fingers. Her other hand gripped the pillow beside her head. Her lips were parted, soft gasps escaping with each movement.

“Anna.” The name left my mouth before I could stop it.

Her eyes opened at the sound of my voice. They found mine in the darkness, glazed and desperate. “I can’t stop. I tried. I really tried, but it aches so bad.”

“Anna.”

“Please.” Tears slipped down her cheeks. “Please help me. I don’t care if you think it’s wrong. I don’t care about anything except making this stop.”

I moved closer, kneeling beside her. Her hand was still moving under the covers, fingers working frantically.

The sight of her like this, lost and needy and begging for relief, made my chest tighten.

“How long have you been doing this?”

“Since you laid down.” Her words came out in gasps, slurred at the end. “I thought I could just finish quietly, but I can’t. I get close and then it goes away, and I have to start over and over, and it’s torture.”

The drug had her trapped in this endless cycle of need without release.

I couldn’t bear to let her suffer like this.

“Remove your hand.”

She blinked up at me, confused. “What?”

“Let me see your hand. Now,

The base in my tone made her obey immediately. Her hand stilled and pulled away, settling on top of the covers.

“I’m going to help you.” My voice dropped lower, taking on the command she’d mentioned earlier. “But you’re going to do exactly what I say. Understood?”

She nodded frantically, her eyes wide. “Yes. Anything. I’ll do anything.”

I stood and walked to my closet, pushing aside the suits and shirts until my fingers found the hidden panel at the back. A soft click, and the door swung open to reveal a small room I’d designed specifically for this, for control and discipline.

The walls were lined with shelves. Items of different sizes and intensities. Restraints in silk and leather. Everything I’d used on willing partners who understood what they were asking for.

But I hadn’t brought anyone here in months. Not since Anna walked into my office with those buttoned-up cardigans and those glasses that somehow made her look even more innocent. Every woman after that had been a pale comparison.

I’d imagined bringing her here. Watching her eyes go wide when she realized what kind of control I could exert. I’d wanted to lay her out and take her apart piece by piece until she forgot her own name.

And now she was here. Not the way I had imagined. She was drugged, not in control of herself, not choosing this, not choosing me.

This wasn’t how it was supposed to happen.

I pulled open a drawer and stared at the items lined up in neat rows. My hand hovered for a second.

I grabbed one, something that would help without overwhelming her already overstimulated body.

This was just the right one for her.

I walked back to the bedroom.

Then I stopped and went back for the silk restraints.

Brand new, still in their packaging.

I had bought them weeks ago with only one person in mind.

Anna watched me with heavy eyes, her body still trembling. “What’s that?”

‘Something that will help.” I held it up slightly. “But you need to trust me.”

I trust you.” The words came out slurred but certain. “I trust you more than anyone.”

The better part of me pushed back, telling me to stop, to shut the drawer and walk away, to keep being the man I had tried to be all night, the one who knew better than to cross that line.

But she was struggling.

And right now, I was the only one who could keep her from pushing herself too far, chasing relief she wasn’t going to find on her own.
