It was so much more. I just hoped Rex was wrong about Ryker. Because I didn't have the heart to listen to him say those terrible three words. Told you so.

Jessica wanted to believe Nathan was a changed man. The lust filled promises he made in bed are no match for the reality that she's now holding in the palm of her hand. Sex drives men like Nathan Moore. She suspected it then experienced it, and now there's absolutely no denying it. She knows what the right thing to do is. He knows that he's never met anyone like her.

Nathan promised Jessica just one thing during those nights in his hotel room - sex unlike anything she had experienced before.

Today, our game is about her - Eliza - the piece of trash in a leopard print skirt we dredged out of the Las Vegas gutter. Braden thinks I can't make her a perfect sub; that I can't dress her up beautifully, convince everyone she's a lady, and make her my whore in the back room. I disagree.
