By the time I take my shower and reappear in the bedroom, Bryce has checked out.

He’s disarming even when he sleeps.

It’s most likely the only time when he’s not fully in control.

I move the covers––careful not to wake him––and slide into bed.

My first night sleeping next to Bryce Van Der Linden.

“You weren’t thinking of falling asleep without a goodnight’s kiss, were you?”

His voice startles me. “I thought you were sleeping.”

“I was, but your warm body woke me up. Now, come here and kiss me.”

Chapter 7

Sofia

I wake up before my alarm.

I check the clock on the nightstand.

Five forty-five.

I didn’t even get four hours of sleep. This day is going to whoop my ass.

I’m careful not to wake Bryce as I peel my tired body from the sheets to get ready for this long week in Paris. Since this is our first meeting, I want to make a good impression.

I’m enjoying a warm shower when Bryce shows up.

“Can I join you?” In usual Bryce fashion, it isn’t a question. He steps into the shower and pulls me close to him, pressing my body against his hard cock.

Talk about morning wood.

It’s the first time I’ve stood next to Bryce without my heels. I’m tiny next to him.

He grabs my breasts and squeezes them. “Waking up with these in my hands is a gift.”

I close my hands around his erection. “Looks like you need me to take care of you.”

The expression on his face is pure sin. “You read my mind.”

I drop to my knees on the tile floor, water showering my back.

Bryce’s intense blue eyes are on me as I close my mouth around his thick cock.

He growls, grabbing my wet hair to control the bobbing of my head. “Fuck yeah!”

I keep a steady hand at the base of his cock.

He moans and grunts each time the head of his cock touches the back of my throat.

“You do that so damn well.” His voice is unrecognizable.

I pull my head back. “You have a gorgeous cock.”

“He,” he points to said gorgeous cock, “wants your lips around him. Get back to it.”
