Still in the same position, my head between her thighs, I begin to drift into sleep.

Maria pushes me off her and sits upright. From my comfortable spot, I fold an arm under my head and watch her stand by the side of the bed.

I frown.

She stretches out her hand to me.

I grip her fingers but feel too deliciously numb to move.

She pulls at my arm. “Come on, sleepyhead!”

Heaving and grunting, I sit up. “What are you up to?”

“I’m ready. Let’s go up to your playroom,” she murmurs with a naughty glint in her eyes.

My dick and I jump into action. I skip to the floor. My cock springs up between us.

“Whatever you mean by that, I’m in,” I promise.

MARIA

Ifight to breathe normally when anticipation squeezes my chest as we climb the stairs to the top floor. The engagement ring, the only item I’m wearing, sparkles in the dim light when I grip the handrail. Have I really just invited Wes to his playroom? Or rather, our playroom, as the heavy diamond on my finger reminds me.

I’m amazed at how far I’ve come since I’ve met this sexy as sin drummer. At the top of the stairs, I spin around to face Wes.

“Before we enter the room, I want to tell you that when I first saw you, I knew you meant trouble. Despite all my reservations against celebrities and rock stars, I felt an instant connection with you that scared the living daylights out of me.” I get on tiptoes to kiss his mouth. “And to protect myself, my heart, I pushed you away. I’m so thankful that the universe brought you back to me.”

He kisses me until I gasp for air. Lifting his head, but still gripping my cheeks, he whispers, “I would’ve found a way to convince you to give us a chance. I was a wreck without you.”

I smile into his eyes and focus my mind on why I came up here. My neck and face burns as intense heat spreads from my core to my whole body.

“So, having said all that, I also want to add that I’ve grown to know you and trust you.” I take a deep breath and take the leap. I blurt out before I lose my nerve, “I want to have anal sex with you today and go full-on submissive starting right now.”

With that, I sink to my knees in front of him, bend my head, and drop my hands on my thighs. Despite the deafening buzz in my ears, because of the blood rushing through my veins, I hear him hissing at the first part of my proposition. As my knees hit the floor, the poor man groans like I’ve punched him in the balls.

I bite the inside of my mouth to keep a lid on the smirk when it takes him a few beats to react. When he does, dropping to his knees in front of me and lifting my eyes to his, my heart bursts with joy, hope, and love.

“Fuck, Maria. You’ve no idea what it does to me seeing you like this.” He runs his knuckles along my jaw. “Oh, we’re going to have so much fun when I teach you a trick or two.” He swats my butt and I whimper. “Or when I whop you very fine ass for some transgression you pull off just to feel the heat of my hand on your skin.”

“God, how do you do that?” I groan when my sex fills to the brim with hot liquid just hearing his voice describe what I long to have.

“Because, my pet, I know what you need, even when you don’t.” He dips his head and licks one nipple while pinching the twin nub.

The shock travels with lightning speed to my clitoris making it throb in time with his fingers rolling the offended nipple. I thrust my hips forward, trying to make contact with his solid erection.

He abandons my breasts and slides backward to escape my reach. “We’ll have even more fun when I show you the benefits of delayed gratification. Your body will be humming with pleasure for days.”

“I want this,” I cry out with enthusiasm.

He tsk-tsks, wiggling an index finger in front of me. His low tone becomes professorial as he scolds me, “Now, that’s the exact opposite of delayed gratification, isn’t it, miss?”

Heart thudding in my throat, I answer, “It is, sir.”

As I drop my gaze to the floor, I witness droplets crowning his shaft.

Wes moans, hooks an arm around my shoulder, and hugs me tight against his naked chest. Under my ear, his heart beats so fast I feel the vibrations on my cheek.
