He offered the smallest of bows. “The Dragon says that if your friend’s futon ever becomes uncomfortable. . .this keycard opens your suite.”
“Suite?”
He nodded. “The Imperial Lotus Suite. It’s been reserved for youindefinitely.”
Holy shit.
I took the card with trembling fingers.
It felt heavier than I expected.
He continued, “Your driver is also waiting outside should you wish to be escorted anywhere today. Including the suite.”
“My. . .driver?”
“Yes.” His face didn’t crack even a little. “He’ll remain seated in the car, but the moment you step outside, he’ll pull up and open the door.”
All of this. . . just because I sent him a picture of my wet panties?
The man glanced at his sleek black watch. “I must hurry now.”
“Okay.”
He bowed again, then turned and disappeared down the hallway with theDecadentbag in hand—my panties packed neatly inside, Paris-bound on a mission of madness and desire.
Oh. My. God.

The After Shock

Kenji’s chef is coming to make us breakfast. Wow.
I shut the door slowly and leaned back against it.
Is this really my life?
There was a time when I lived off vending machine dinners and cold apartment floors. Now a man was offering me silk sheets and caviar mornings.
I spoke into the empty living room. “I think I might actually be a fucking queen.”
Zo was still humming in the bathroom—something by Donny Hathaway now, I was sure of it. The man wasn’t showering, he was giving a damn performance.
The pipes rattled softly.
I wanted to jump in after him and scream, “You are never going to believe what just happened,” but I held my excitementin. I already knew what Zo would do anyway. Zo would scream when I told him, and then we would chat about it all morning with a bottle of wine like two church ladies in sin.
I padded across the room and dropped back onto the futon.
Heat still lingered between my thighs, but now it mixed with giddiness.
Once Zo finished, I would need to shower too and put on some clothes.
I set the hotel card next to me.
I can’t believe he got me that suite. Did that guy say that it was reserved. . .indefinitely? Damn. Should I go?
