  “Oh, um. Yes. Me too.” She gave him a sexy grin, and his hand crept back to her ribbons.

  “Master?”

  “Yes, slave?”

  “Maybe you should put the ring on my finger before we lose it.”

  He inclined his head. Point taken. “So is that a yes? You didn’t answer me.”

  “You didn’t ask me anything, Master. You just listed some of my positive attributes.”

  Did she have to be bratty about everything? Chuckling, he said, “Everly, my hot little piece of ass, will you marry me?”

  She eyed him up and down, like he was a tasty piece of meat. “Yes, Master. But only if you fuck me. Immediately.”

  He slipped the ring onto her finger, and stared at it in disbelief. She’d actually said yes. The ring was on her finger. He blinked up at her, full of wonder and giddy excitement. He jumped to his feet and pulled her into his arms.

  She kissed him then squealed when he threw her over his shoulder and strode off toward the trees.

  “I’ll be fucking you almost immediately. First we need to talk about what happens when you get bossy with me,” he grumbled, and swatted her ass. “Bossy slaves get punished.”

  “Yessss!”

  Brat. His brat. At least she couldn’t see his smile. It would only encourage her.

  ACKNOWLEDGMENTS

  Thanks again to our agent, Nicole Resciniti, from the Seymour Agency, for all of your attention and patience. We couldn’t ask for better representation or career advice. You’ve also seriously impressed us with your willingness to be seen with us in public.

  Also, thanks to Kristine Swartz, our editor at Penguin, for your direction and always being available to answer our questions, as well as for patiently guiding us through the process.

  Of course, we wouldn’t get far without our street team, the Badass Brats. You ladies (and man) are the best friends and supporters authors could ask for. We love you all!

  Special thanks to our bff and fellow author, Cari Silverwood, for your ongoing support and quirky humor. No one else can use personal insults to show their affection quite like you can.

  We had the pleasure of meeting author Sidney Bristol at a convention this year. Sidney, thank you so much for the cover quote! Can’t wait to hang out with you again soon. (Sidney really is as awesome as she seems online, people.)

  And finally, thanks to our partners and families for being supportive about our hours and deadlines, and never complaining when it was pizza for supper again.

  Look for the third novel in the Masters Unleased series
