Page 9 of The High Price Of Loneliness

Not wanting to disturb the special-looking wax seal, she asked, “What’s this?”

Gray instructed her, “It is for you and your eyes only, Angelica. Please go ahead and squeeze to lift the seal. It should come open for you easily.” She was even more intrigued now, hearing “for her eyes only.” What could it be?

The seal opened just as Edward predicted, and inside, she pulled out several pages of a document labeled “CONFIDENTIALITY AGREEMENT.”

As she held the pages in her hand, she heard Edward’s voice explain, “I would like you to take this home with you, Angelica, and read it over carefully for me. If you have any questions, I am happy to discuss them with you tomorrow or whenever you are ready.”

She was a bit confused to say the least. Her mind was already racing to take the leap into Edward’s arms and his bed, but he gave her paperwork instead. This seemed more than a bit eccentric to her, but she asked hesitantly, “I see, so, what does it mean?”

Gray’s deep voice explained, “It means whatever happens between us is private. You’ve heard of ‘The Vegas Rule?’ What happens in Vegas…” He paused for her interpretation.

“Stays in Vegas,” Angelica finished his sentence for him.

Edward nodded as he continued, “Before we can begin exploring the Red Playroom and all the different levels of your discovery and training, it is important to me that you sign the Confidentiality Agreement. So, for tonight, I am taking you home. But it was nothing less than phenomenal spending the evening with you.” Gray smiled broadly—looking into her eyes as the self-driving car turned down her street.

Angelica was a bit disappointed. She had been secretly aching to explore Edward’s muscular body. She felt him pressed against her the first night when they kissed. And, after all that he said and knew about how to take her to new levels. All those deep dark desires put on hold, for now, left her disappointed about the waiting.

She sighed quietly, resigned to waiting. Waiting to be swept away by this powerful attraction she felt aching inside like never before.

CHAPTER FOUR

The Power of OM

As the Tesla parked itself smoothly, Angelica heard, “Please wait. Allow me to come open your door for you.”

She smiled seeing how Edward always treated her with such respect when they were going out and thought,I could get very used to this. He opened her door and offered his hand to help her gracefully step out. As his strong but gentle power lifted her to his side, she asked, “If I read it tonight—may I call you if I have questions?”

She felt him slipping his arm comfortably again around her waist on their walk to her front door. He leaned into her ear to reply, “Save the questions for tomorrow.” Angelica pulled her house keys out of her purse, and Gray said, “Allow me?” As she nodded once and let go, he took the keys gently from her to do the honors.

As her front door opened widely, Angelica cooed, “Thank you for the best first date ever.” She turned to face Edward and he wrapped his arms around her, pulling her to his chest as he lifted her easily off her feet and then carried her inside. Angelica’s heart was racing as Gray closed the door behind them. Only a momentary distraction before he pressed her up against the wall by the front door, kissing her passionately.

Angelica was an amazing kisser, as he knew from before, and he wanted more of that divine connection. They kissed deeply. As her full soft lips were roaming his, she felt him gently pulling her lower lip into his mouth to softly suckle. Her blood raced as she felt his hungry mouth move down to her neck.

With his powerful muscular arms, Edward slowly turned Angelica around to face the wall. She felt him move her long blonde hair away with one hand saying, “I want the back of your neck.” He kissed her gently, his fingertips tracing the outline of her spine down her backless black dress. Goose bumps broke out on Angelica almost everywhere. She arched her back like a cat to press back against Edward. She wanted to feel how hard and excited he was. He responded by pressing his thick, rock-hard manhood into her gently, then turned her back to face him for one more deep kiss from her beautiful full lips.

Her heart racing wildly, she felt her blood surging and an ache so deep inside her as she pleaded, “I want you so badly, Edward.”

He replied, “You will have me fully, but not until you are ready, Angelica.”

She did not want to be denied. She urged him with her eyes, and her voice trembled, “But Iamready!”

“No.” He responded, “First, I must help you discover how to climax fully. I don’t want our first time, or anytime we are together—to just be for my pleasure. I need you to have that experience, and you deserve to know what you’ve been missing.”

“Enlighten me then. I am yours if you’ll take me there,” she pleaded.

Gray gazed deeply into her pleading eyes, with his now full of temptation. She felt a rush of relief to hear his answer. “All right, but what I can offer you tonight is a very different kind of sexual experience, Angelica. One where I will remain fully clothed, and the focus and energy will be completely and totally on you and you alone. Do you understand?”

Her mind raced trying to envision what she just heard. But without hesitation, her words flowed, saying, “I’m not sure, but ok.” Angelica nodded; anxious and intrigued.

She watched Gray lock the front door behind them and then turned to say, “Take me to your room.” She smiled and led Edward by the hand to her bedroom, now filled with the fragrance of beautiful flowers. In the center was Angelica’s king-size bed with a soft white comforter.

She heard his deep, sexy voice guide her, “We need a blanket and lots of pillows. The more, the better.”

Her inner curiosity spoke next, asking, “Ok, but why?” as she retrieved a blanket from the closet shelf.

“You will see. First, we will need to build a ‘nest’ for you out of the pillows and blanket in the center of your bed. Like this,” Gray said as he started arranging pillows in a star shape with the blanket at the side.

She looked into his eyes, asking eagerly, “What do you need me to do?”
