"Twenty-eight." I managed to get the truth out for once.

"Have you touched yourself?"

I blush at that. "Yes, and I've… I've used toys. You won't hurt me."

"You say that because you haven't seen my cock yet."

My blush deepens at that, and my sex starts to go to its happy place again. I move closer to him once again, and this time he doesn't keep me from reaching for him. I restart the unbuttoning of his shirt and see that he has a couple of tattoos there as well. I'm dying to see the ones on his arms. I love it when people have well-thought-out tattoos that make wonderful and complex scenes on their skin.

"Wait. I don't have any condoms."

"I'm on the pill, and I've never been with anyone."

What the heck are you doing, Anne? I've just met this man, and I want to risk having sex bareback? I'm desperately waiting for him to tell me he's clean, but he takes his time, and I start panicking.

"I'm clean. But we can have some condoms delivered."

I sigh in relief at his response. He wouldn't offer if he didn't mean it.

"It's okay. We're both okay."

My hands go to unfasten his belt and I notice the tent he's sporting is huge. I start to blush again, and he chuckles at me.

"Starting to realize what you've gotten yourself into, huh, kitten?"

"I'm right where I want to be, Max. Help me get you naked."

"It'll be my pleasure."

Chapter 4

Annette

Iwake up in an unfamiliar place with strong, warm arms around me. I try to move, but I'm completely wrapped in a man's embrace. Not just any man. Max, the millionaire.

His window overlooks an amazing backyard, and for a moment, I don't want to move. I want to stay here, protected and loved. But this was a one-night stand, and I've got to get my feet back on the ground.

Closing my eyes seems to be the right approach right now. I don't have to be anywhere until Monday, and I've never been held like this before. I think I dozed off because I woke up to warm lips kissing and suckling my now hard nipples. Max is so intent on his task that it makes me smile. I smooth out his hair, letting the soft waves tease my fingertips.

"Good, you're awake. I almost ravaged you in your sleep."

"Perv."

"I can't help it, you're too delicious, kitten."

He nestles his head between my breasts and just sighs as if that is the exact place he wants to be for the rest of his life. That place should be between my legs. I blush at my outrageous thought. I try to move to go to the bathroom and that's when I feel the soreness all over my body. Max used me and used me well last night. Hot used, not dirty u… well, maybe dirty used also. But it was all in good fun.

"I know you're comfy there, but I need to pee," I say, pushing him away.

"No, I'm never letting you go." He grabs me tighter.

A thrill goes through me at those words, but I know he's just playing with me. I like this playful side. Last night, he was very bossy. I like the mixture of the two. But I really got to go. I manage to squeeze from under him and hurry to the gorgeous bathroom. We had some nice shower sex during the early hours of the day, giving me memories I'm going to cherish for eternity.

While I relieve myself, I'm thinking about how to make my exit—or if I even want to leave today. Then I hear his voice from the other room.

"I'm going to the kitchen. Do you want some coffee?"

"Sure."
