I recognized how easy of a mark they’d be as I walked up to them so I’d gone for a softer opening than what I used the first time around.

Gary had gotten my heart racing and my blood pumping by not immediately taking me upstairs and bantering with me instead. That’s what was missing here.

As much as I want to be fucked tonight, I also want to work for it a little bit.I was hoping to find the same flirty repartee, the same electrifying quips that there’d been withhim.

He-Who-Shall-Not-Be-Named-Or-Acknowledged because now that I’ve walked away, I won’t let myself look back.

Instead, after brief introductions, Kevin opened by bragging about his new house on Lake Como.

Within two minutes, he stood and flexed his muscles like a peacock spreading its feathers, his version of a modern day mating call. And now by the third minute, he’s asked me to come up to his room with him.

He’s too eager and his obvious enthusiasm reveals that if I go upstairs with him tonight, he’ll definitely enjoy the ride, but my time will likely turn out to have been better spent at home with my vibrator.

I want to roll my eyes and tell him that I’m a sure thing if he can just make it hot for me a little. I mean is that too much to ask for?

I open my mouth to say just that when a large body comes up behind me and presses intimately against my back. His warm hand splays possessively over my lower stomach and tugs me against the hard planes of his chest and into him in a domineering display of ownership. Ever so casually, his fingers brush the top of my pussy. My stomach flips in response.

Adrenaline shoots through me as his face comes down against mine. He turns his mouth into the mass of my hair, heated breaths coming from his lips and falling hotly against my cheek.

“Enough,” he orders, mouth pressed menacingly against the shell of my ear.

My heart lurches into my throat and a swell of goosebumps erupts along the column of my neck and on down my spine.

I don’t need to look up to know who it is.

Gary curls me into his body, his large arm enveloping me easily, and walks me away from the three men without even acknowledging them.

Distantly, I hear Kevin call out indignantly after me, but I’ve already forgotten about him.

Gary doesn’t take me back to where he was sitting. Instead, he heads straight for the elevator bank.

He leans forward, keeping my body still securely clutched to his side, and presses the ‘up’ arrow on the panel.

“Gary?” I ask, looking up at him.

Nerves rumble in my lower belly when he doesn’t answer or look at me. He continues staring straight ahead.

He’s tense, his body coiled as if he’s poised to strike and, briefly, I wonder if I should be scared. The only applicable knowledge I have of how to defend myself is via swordfight so unless he’s got a loose épée laying around up in his room, I don’t have a recourse for defending myself.

His arm is still wrapped tightly around me like he’s afraid I’ll walk away again, and his index finger taps a wild rhythm on my lower stomach.

My senses focus in on it until the foreboding tapping feels like a timer counting down to a bomb’s explosion. The tension between us is taut and ready to snap. My body feels like a live wire from the way he touches me and there’s not even any skin on skin contact between us.

The elevator dings to announce its presence and I startle in response, nearly jumping out of my skin.

The doors open and we walk in. He releases me and I turn around in time to see him swipe a black keycard and press the button for the penthouse suite.

He stands stiffly beside me.

I can’t take the silence a moment longer.

The doors start to close.

“What–”

Before I can say anything else, he slams me against the wall, swallowing my words with his mouth as his lips come savagely down on mine.

I freeze for only a moment before I moan and return his kiss with equal enthusiasm and passion.
