His hand dug beneath her hips. “Whatever I want?”
“Do it, damnit!”
It was going to happen eventually. At some point, one of her potential patrons would want to flip her over and fuck her somewhere new. She never thought it would beSeth.
“That other guy ever fuck your ass?” His hiss combined with the way he tugged her hair made her mouth fall perpetually open. “Because I want every part of your body, Judith.”
She gasped, her body stiffening, then relaxing,thenanticipating what he could truly do to her. His cock rubbed against her flesh. This man demanded something new for their time away from the Château, and by hell Judith was inclined to give it to him.
“He hasn’t.” The thought of Miguel going at her ass was enough to make her clench.I’d have to charge him double with that thing.“You better beat him to it.”
Although Judith could consider about anythingsexy,she never thought a man fucking her in the ass could beromantic.Yet when Seth completely consumed her, his delicate touch turning merciless once he had the purchase he pursued, all Judith could do was submit herself to his will and ride out the thrill awaiting her.
With one hand holding himself up and the other reaching beneath her stomach to stroke her, Seth fucked her until she officially saw nothing but the white, hot light of oblivion.

Breath was hard to come by for a long time afterward. Judith remained looped around Seth’s body, living in his scent and determined to commit every inch of skin to memory. He threaded his fingers through her hair, lightly touched her hairline, and tugged on her earlobes until he was too tired to lift his arm. The townhouse was so quiet that Judith almost missed the padded footsteps of servants in the hallway and laughter echoing in the hallowed halls of the Château.There’s no such thing as complete silence there.
A question burned on her lips.
“You had never paid for sex before me, right?”
Seth’s arm stiffened around him.He came so hard I thought it would be the end for the both of us.Yet Judith would pay her own money to experience that again… or to at least have the strength to do so.
“No. Before you, I never even thought to.” He sighed. “Guess I’m a bore, huh?”
“Not at all.” Judith drew her finger across his abdomen, feeling his taut muscles topped in sweaty skin. She could never get over how refreshingly fit he was without being a total giant.I wouldn’t be shocked to find out he does yoga and the like.Hey, a doctor would understand the benefits better than anyone.I wonder if he takes a class or does it here.She even guessed the balcony overlooking the little garden between buildings. “Most men don’t, I guess. Then again, most can’t afford to, let alone my numbers.”
“Yeah, I would fall for one of the most expensive women in the country.”
Fall for me?That was it. That was what was bugging Judith deep in her heart. “You’re a romantic guy, Seth. I don’t know how you’re not married.”
“Simple. I never fell in love.” He shrugged against the back of her head. “I’m not the type to get married for the sake of it. I don’t have glorious visions of having kids, although I wouldn’t say no. I’m okay with dying a bachelor if that’s what the world has in store for me. I’m okay with being alone. I’m such an introvert that my father was scared I was gay.”
“Wait, how doesthatwork?”
“Don’t ask me. I’m not the bigot.”
Judith pushed herself up, hovering over him as hair fell between them. Seth pushed it out of the way and let his fingers linger on her forehead.I hate how much I love it when he touches me.Every touch of his was so delicate. So… loving.
This man loves me. If he hasn’t fallen in love with me already, he will soon.Judith could barely meet his tender gaze.
“Judith,” he began, tipping her chin in his direction. “Am I the kind of man you would date if you didn’t live that life?”
She chose to ignore the way he said that. “I don’t know, Seth. It’s been a long, long time since I made those kinds of decisions. Tonight was one of the first times since I became an adult that I… I have felt the way I do.”
Whatever it was that made him sit up and try to hug her almost made her regret saying a thing. “I feel things too, you know.”
“I can tell.”
“Do you feel things for me? Like that?”
“You’re asking me if I love you.”
“Don’t answer if you don’t want to.” He lay back down, bringing her with him. “I do love you, I’m pretty sure. I don’t care if you charge me for the privilege or not.”
He probably thought that sounded altruistic, but all it did was make Judith shiver in his arms – and not in a good way.
