Of course, it was even harder to maintain my composure during the briefing because it was personal. Simone was among the kids who were chained together to be sold like ordinary household objects. If we didn’t get to her in time, the rest of her life would be pure hell.

Luckily my pride and my professionalism helped me keep my face stoic and the tears from forming while I was in the briefing. The men respected me as a member of their team. I was not about to break down and look weak in front of them.

Once I got back to the privacy of my room, however, it was a completely different story. I sat down on the edge of the bed and cried. All of my fears and worries were represented by the multitude of tears that flowed down my face. Then, once I ran out of tears, I washed my face and put the negative feelings aside.

I put on my usual jammies, consisting of an extra-large t-shirt and my panties. After pouring a glass of red wine, I went out to the balcony, which overlooked a large wooded area.

In my mind, I was walking through the woods, feeling the breeze, smelling the scent of the pine trees, and listening to the night birds calling to each other. I imagined the different animals that would be in the woods and allowed the presence of nature to calm my soul.

A sharp rap on the room door interrupted my meditations. I didn’t have to ask who it was. I knew it would be Lucian. And before I could tell him to enter, he was inside my room. He would be the world’s greatest thief if he had chosen that profession because I have yet to see a door that could somehow keep him out.

“I see that you have started the party without me,” he remarked, indicating the glass of wine I had in my hand. “I thought this would be a BYOB party and brought a bottle of wine, too.”

I stood against the railing of the balcony, the wind making my long black hair dance, staring at the sexiest man in the world break into my room with a bottle of wine. What could be better than this? That this man still loved me the way he used to. No, that he would love me the way that a man loves a woman, not the way that a boy loves a girl.

He walked toward me with an amazingly sexy smile that made my heart do flips.

I may not have forever. But at least I’ll have tonight.

I turned around and leaned against the balcony railing. I took a sip of my wine and asked, “What brings you here tonight?”

“A sexy, smart woman with the most beautiful curvy body I have ever seen in my entire life,” he answered.

He set down his bottle of wine and took my glass from my hand. Lucian put two fingers under my chin and gently lifted my face. He stared into my eyes for a few seconds and licked his lips.

“You are absolutely beautiful,” he said. He leaned down, and his lips barely brushed against mine with the barest hint of a kiss. Lucian’s tongue gently traced my lips while his hands rubbed up and down on my back, his fingers kneading and massaging my muscles.

He cupped my ass as he took full possession of my mouth. His tongue pushed through my lips and began to explore as though our kiss was a brand new experience, full of delightful surprises.

Hands rubbed my full ass cheeks as his tongue stroked mine with long sensuous movements. He tasted like sweet wine. The night air swirled around us, encasing us in a whirlwind of passion.

His hands snaked up my shirt and found my heavy breasts that were waiting for his touch. He held them in his hands as he gently nibbled the end of my tongue.

My nipples were hard and aching for his touch. I moaned as his thumbs gently rubbed against them.

He broke the kiss and grabbed my hand, pulling me into the bedroom. After grabbing my glass of wine, he locked the balcony door and made sure the door to the room had the extra locks set.

His crooked grin made the tingling between my thighs even more intense. “Can’t be too careful, can we?”

Lucian walked slowly to me. He quickly pulled off my shirt and panties. He laid me on the bed and then divested himself of his own clothing.

My breath caught in my throat at the sight of his beautifully chiseled body. The man was perfect in every way.

He knelt between my legs and spread them wide so that he could have a full view of my pussy.

Lucian licked his lips like a starving man and said, “You look so delicious.”

A new wave of heat flooded through me in anticipation of what was to come next.

He thrust his tongue deep inside me, twirling it around, tasting all of my silken walls. “Mmmm, I was right. You are delicious.”

With great fervor, he lapped my pussy, moaning as he did so.

I pinched and rubbed my nipples as his tongue licked my slit and then thrust back inside of me.

One of his hands had found my clit. He pinched my clit gently, rubbing it between his fingers.

The lightning bolts shot from my clit through my entire body, filling me with a searing flame that burned uncontrollably.
