She looks at the rest of her wine as if it could help her in some way.

“Even if we weren’t caught in this situation, I would still not entertain the idea of you,” she says, and I ponder a great comeback.

“Why’s that?”

She stays mum.

“Are you afraid of me?” I ask.

It takes her a moment to give me an answer.

“The morning after sucks with someone like you.”

We both smile.

It’s a game, although it isn’t.

“Have you been with a man like me?”

“No.”

“What do you think might spoil the morning after?”

She mulls over her answer and gives me a soft smile.

“You… going away.”

My hand shoots to my mouth.

Why did I have to say that? It’s only because of the delicious wine. It’s smooth and sweet, full of aroma.

I am tipsy, and he is so damn sexy.

For the last few moments, I couldn’t think of anything else. Sex with him and trying to avoid heartbreak.

Why did I have to read Rain’s book so many damn times?

I’ve never studied something so hard. Not even for my finals.

It doesn’t help that I know how he feels against a woman when he’s naked, hard, and hungry for her.

I know what he does when he enjoys a woman’s body.And I know how he can make her come with his mouth, his fingers, and his hard length.

He likes to do it many times a night and he loves to meet someone in secret.

Rain portrayed him as a gentleman.

Maybe because her impression of him was warped in some way.

He paid her to have sex with her. There must be more to being a gentleman than that.

He also likes to sprinkle a little fear in having fun with a woman. Other than that, he is a good lover, generous and caring.

But there’s a catch.His heart is never on the line.
