“I’m so sorry, baby girl,” I rumbled quietly, looking her in the eye. “I’m so sorry this happened to you.”

And the little girl drew a shaky breath then, forcing herself to sit up straight and look me in the eye.

“It hurt when it happened, I won’t lie about that, but I try to see it as a stroke of good luck. At least I found out sooner rather than later,” she said with a rueful smile. “I could have been married to this guy for thirty years and known nothing, my entire life a lie.”

And I squeezed her hand encouragingly.

“That’s my baby,” I rumbled approvingly. “Keeping it real.”

And she smiled at me again, her eyes still a little watery, lips twitching a bit at the corners.

“So tell me Tucker, since we’re baring our hearts right now, where do you see yourself going? Not that the delivery business is bad at all,” she corrected hastily, “Just where do you see yourself in five years?”

Usually I get nasty at this line of questioning because most women are just fishing for my balance sheet, scoping out my prospective earning power. But with Laurie, it was different. It felt right to share something about myself, let her into my private world.

“I dunno,” I said slowly, our hands still entwined on the bedspread, lying next to one another nude, our juices drying on each other’s bodies. And yet it felt so right, completely comfortable. Despite the fact that we’d known each other less than a week, lying here, with her, was exactly where I wanted to be.

“I’m not sure,” I said honestly, with more feeling in my voice. Because that was the truth. Hunter and I are working on a dream and there are no promises, no guarantees in the wild west of start-ups. We’d devoted all our energy and countless resources to NYC Concierge, it was our baby but we were far from stable. Shit, we were still in beta stage, implementing all sorts of changes, hiring new folks as fast as we could, desperate to get warm bodies in the door for our booming business. And so it was impossible to answer the question with any accuracy, any assurance. But I had to try for Laurie, she was important enough to me that I couldn’t just feed her some bullshit.

“I’m not sure what’s next,” I started again for the third time. “I mean, the personal services sector is saturated but not totally so, and I like my job so maybe I’ll stay with the company for a while.”

There, that didn’t give anything away, and yet the answer was genuine, imbued with real emotion, my passion for the business. And the little girl could hear it because she squeezed my hand, shooting me a shy smile.

“Of course, you have to do something you believe in, no one can be happy if they’re grinding away at a meaningless job. It’s human nature,” she said with another smile.

And I just gripped her hand tighter, rising up on an elbow to stare into those beautiful brown eyes, warm pools of molten chocolate. I traced a finger along her jaw, dropping down to the elegant curve of her neck, marveling at the smoothness of her skin, the pure ivory laid out before me.

“You’re amazing, you know that?” I growled against her neck, lightly running my tongue along that sweet spot under her ear. “You are positively, absolutely, certifiably amazing.”

And she giggled a little, her small hands reaching up to stroke along my broad chest, my abs going tight at the soft caress.

“You are too,” she murmured, gazing into my eyes and the rush of emotion that swelled up into my throat took me by surprise, made my jaw clench, my eyes light with a fire within. Because Laurie’s genuineness, her sweet nature overwhelmed me and I was completely lost, a slave to this girl.

I didn’t hesitate then, I couldn’t.

“I have to have you baby girl,” I ground out into her ear, my hands ravenous now, stroking all over that curvy body, touching her breasts, jiggling them, twisting her nips in circles. “I have to taste.”

And she threw her head back and sighed.

“Of course Tucker, I’m yours,” she moaned breathily, her back arching, boobs rising into the air, the pink crests oh-so-delectable, my mouth watered and my cock punched out at the sight.

But I wanted more than just sex, or more accurately, more than just pussy sex.

“I want your ass,” I murmured into her mouth, my hands persuasive, my dick already grinding in hot circles against her hip. “Will you let me? Will you let me take your ass cherry baby girl?”

And Laurie’s eyes flew open at that.

“Wh-what?” she gasped. “Tucker … I’m not sure, I mean you just took my pussy one yesterday.”

And I nodded against her body, worshiping, a priest at the altar of the goddess, but oh fuck, I needed that ass.

“I know baby girl,” I murmured. “But I need it. I can’t explain it but I’m going to fuckin’ die if you don’t give it to me, I’m going to fuckin’ take it and it’s just a question of now … or later.”

She colored then.

“Is later really an option?” she murmured, bringing my face to hers and looking deep into my eyes, pools of caramel I could drown in.

I shook my head.
