    About this ebook

    At a masked ball, anonymity is the ultimate aphrodisiac...

    Maxwell and Lucy play a dangerous game. The bet is made--if he can find Lucy among the throng of rich and famous guests at Chase Drake's masquerade ball before the Unmasking at midnight, she can drive his prized Lamborghini for a month. And if she loses? Well, she'd rather not think about that, because little Lucy doesn't plan to lose.

    However, Maxwell's got a trick up his sleeve. Lucy must wear a little toy of his as she moves through the party guests, while he holds the controls. Can she keep her composure in this game of cat and mouse? Or will the tides turn before the stroke of midnight?

    Anything can happen when you play with fire. But who will get burned when the game heats up?

    This is a 5600 word short story in The Billionaire's Beck and Call Series. It is meant to bridge the gap between Tied to Him: The Billionaire's Beck and Call, Book Three, and Book Four, coming soon in 2014, but will be enjoyed by anyone who's read Book Two in the series, featuring Max and Lucy.

    Happy reading, and stay tuned for more information on The Billionaire's Beck and Call, Book Four--coming soon!

      Unmasked: A Billionaire’s Beck and Call Short Story

      By Delilah Fawkes

      Lucy

      Masks were everywhere—sequined, feathered, gilded—some so black it was like looking into an absence of space--obscuring the faces of the dancers whirling around me. Eyes glinted through their holes, their colors and shapes almost indistinguishable in the candlelight, creating an air of mystery. Of tension so thick, I could cut it with my stiletto.

      People held secrets behind those masks, and whether they were little white lies or dirty deeds or just plain dangerous intentions, everyone danced as if they were on the knife’s edge, as if they were seduced by anonymity itself—teased into a state of carnal excitement just from the thrill of hiding their faces.

      Isabeau, threw this party, which still shocked me to consider. My sensible older sister now played games like these with the rich and famous and moved somewhere on this very floor with her husband, Chase Drake—the dashing billionaire who’d corrupted her, just as his friend Maxwell corrupted me. It was a yearly tradition, usually thrown by Mr. Drake himself, but from the excited whispers of the guests, Isa had outdone everyone’s expectations. This was the best so far, and that was saying something, coming from this group.

      I twirled in my dress, laughing, the three glasses of wine I’d downed just beginning to really hit me, making me feel bright-cheeked and light, despite the darkness of the ball room. Somewhere in this shadowed group of people, between the pairings of hot bodies milling and weaving in their fine regalia, was my Max, my lover, and when the mood struck, my Master.

      Tonight, we played a dangerous game.

      The egg inside of me was quiet now, but its presence was always there, filling me, making me squeeze my thighs together as I moved, a constant reminder that he was with me, even when he left
