Chapter 26

“Why?”

“The money you … paid me. I used it to pay for my sister’s medical bills and to start renting that place.

I’m not used to this. You’re rich.”

He kisses my neck, and I close my eyes. The scent of wine is on his breath.

“That I am. I could’ve paid a hell of a lot more for you.”

“You paid enough.”

He snorted. “You were worth so much more.”

His hand bands around my waist, keeping me captive, not that I want to go. I love when his hands are on me.

The memory of his touch was what kept me going when I felt filled with despair.

“I’ll never forget that night, Faye. I tried to find you after. I even hired a PI to hunt you down. You’ve got no criminal record, so finding you was next to impossible.” He nibbles on my neck, biting the curve. “I can’t believe you’ve been so close to me all this time.”

“Why me? You can have anyone else.”

“There’s no one else I want.”

“Haven’t you been back to Cherry?” I hate that it bothers me so much that he could have any woman.

All he’d need to do is click his fingers and there’d be a long line of them waiting to do his bidding.

“No.”

This makes me turn so that I can see him.

His blue eyes, filled with so much promise, stare right back at me.

“No?” I don’t know why I sound so shocked. I shouldn’t be, not really.

“The only reason I was there that night was my friend. He likes to fuck a lot of virgins. Me, I have no interest.”

“But why did you pick me?”

“You’re the only woman I’ve been with who has been a virgin. I’ve no desire to be with another. The moment I saw your picture, I knew you were special, and I wanted you for myself. If you hadn’t sneaked out that night, I was going to talk to you about continuing after Cherry.” His fingers skim my cheek, gliding down to my breasts. He teased one nipple before going to the second.

I couldn’t look away.

“You can tell me to stop at any time,” he says.

“Why would I want you to stop?”

He turns me to face him, and I wait as he starts to unbutton my blouse. He takes his time. He puts the water bottle on the counter, grabs my arms, and walks me back. I don’t trip as he moves me slowly. I take each step, trusting him as we enter a bedroom.

Once we’re there, he goes back to opening up my blouse, his fingers touching me all over.

I’m putty in his hands as he gets me naked.

When I stand before him completely so, he steps back, and I watch as he walks around me.

He’s so much taller than I am. So muscular. For a man who spends so much time behind a desk, he clearly works out.

I wait with bated breath as he opens up his shirt, revealing his hard chest. His arms are so thick.

They’ve held me many times already.

He has the power in his grip to make me do whatever he wants, to put me in whatever position he desires.

I don’t fight him.

His cock is hard once again, the vein at the side seeming to pulse. He doesn’t touch himself this time.

He walks up to me. His length brushes my stomach as he caresses down my arms, around my back, then settling on my hips. Licking my lips, I turn as he puts me on the bed, my knees on the mattress.

Glancing over my shoulder, I watch him. His gaze is on my ass, both of his hands spreading the cheeks.

“There’s a part of you that is still very much a virgin, Faye.”

I tense up as he strokes over the puckered hole of my ass.

I’ve never been touched there before. It’s too surreal as he presses just slightly and I can’t help but let out a little yelp. The pressure takes me by surprise.

He chuckles. “I see we’re going to have to take care of that virgin part of you.”

“I’m not ready.”

“Not tonight, but soon. Soon I’m going to have you so wet and ready to take my cock you’re not going to be able to think straight. You’re going to be begging me to fuck this ass.”

I cry out as his teeth sink into the flesh of my ass. The pain shocks me in place, but the arousal is not stopping as he moves to the other cheek and bites that one as well. I’ve never had my ass bitten before, and I kind of like it.

No “kind of” about it.

As he does the same again, pleasure floods my body. Whenever I’m around him, I seem to be in a constant state of arousal.

I can’t help it.

He’s my first in absolutely everything.

It’s like my body is attuned to him.
