Soft tingles emerge between my legs before fading quickly while he thoroughly enjoys his orgasm, and I quietly observe him.
I’m so tense and frustrated now I could cry.
It’s a painful reminder of who I am.
Panting, I slide to his side, acting till the end. Showing him how much I liked it.

“Your dinner...”
“Yes… It was good,” I say.
I snatch up an apple from a plate, stop in the kitchen, where I fill up my cup of coffee, and head to the oversized red garnet sofa in my living room.
I place my drink on the table, slide onto the couch, and set my laptop on my lap.
“It was charity work,” I say mostly to myself.
Harper’s voice rolls in my ear.
“What was that?”
“Last night was mostly charity work,” I say, unable to stifle a smile.
“It was something that you loved, at least?”
“Yes, I loved it... But it was still charity, and I didn’t get anything out of it,” I murmur, grinning.
Luckily, she couldn’t see me. Otherwise, she’d figure me out quickly.
“Okay. Let’s get to the business at hand,” I say, serious this time.
She goes over the topics with me, the publishing schedule, and the advertising budgets.
The rest of the day goes by fast.
Ten new curated stories hit the website by the end of the day, and traffic spikes. I check the ad campaign analytics and social media accounts.
Respond to nothing, ignore the unread emails, and text Harper.
Me: Clean my Inbox.
The natural light fades slowly until only the blue glow of my laptop screen lights the room. Fall is already here, and the days are getting shorter.
My stomach growls.
I set the laptop on the table, turn the lights on, saunter across the spacious living room and enter the open kitchen.
It’s a huge house, much bigger than I needed, but it was too good of a deal not to pass off, so I bought it.
It was a way to park some cash and make money when I sold it. And I will at one point or another.
I could easily score half a million if I sell it now, even more, if I wait a few more months. I bought it new.
It’s a four-bedroom, four-bathroom Tuscan-inspired pool home with a paved driveway, backyard pool, and a wine cellar.
The finishes are top quality. Natural stone and wood flooring, arched doorways, plantation shutters, a gourmet Italian-style kitchen with granite countertops, and custom-made wood cabinets.
