––––––––
Icarry her to thebed and settle on it. “Mia.”
Jesus, no one has ever reacted so dramatically before. The agency normally deals with the paperwork, but from time to time, I do meet women I want to sleep with, so I have a contract on file, which I or Mack will print and prepare.
I never picked Mia for the fainting type.
Not that I know her, but I know terror, and something triggered it. She’s not going to tell me, so all I can do is make sure she is okay before I send her home.
My cock is as flat as a pancake. Watching a woman nearly faint is not exactly arousing. Nor are the vanilla bra and panties she’s wearing, but they weren’t a problem five minutes ago.
She pats my pec. “I’m fine, sorry. Just my blood sugar must be low. I haven’t eaten today.”
To say I’m disappointed is a complete under-exaggeration. The delicious tension that had been building between us now drifting away, like an extinguished flame.
All while Mia continues herit’s finemantra.
Her eyes lift to mine, and I become aware I’m just sitting here against my headboard, holding her. When the hell have I ever done that before with a woman?
Then I ask, “Areyou okay?”
“Yes,” she says. “Hungry.”
I accept the night isn’t going to end how I want it to, and while I suspect she’s not telling me the truth, I decide its better if I just go along with it.
She’ll be gone in ten minutes.
We need to talk business.
What, in any of those words, could cause someone to have a near panic attack? Because that’s what it was. The marine in me recognizes her symptoms and knows how fear feels.
Mia blinks those icy eyes at me, and her cheeks blush.
“You don’t need to be embarrassed.”
“So stupid,” she says, shaking her head.
With my arms wrapped around her, I feel a sense of protection, even though I’ve only just met her.
I don’t want her to go or run, I realize. I want to feed her and see if we can revive the sizzling chemistry that just died a quick death.
“How about some eggs?” I say, running my hand over her forehead, brushing her hair back.
“You’re going to make me eggs?” she asks incredulously.
