“It broke,” she says, breathless.
“Yeah, it happens, and luckily I didn’t come until after I pulled out.”
“You have another condom?” she asks.
I nod. “I brought enough to last all night.”
I flip her over and slide on another condom, then I yank her hair as I slide back inside her.
I fuck her until sunrise.

The next morning, the light from the gray sky slips through the dark curtains, dimming the room, and I scrunch my nose at the dust mites floating in the air. When I get up from the bed, my sex is deliciously sore and my limbs are achy. I turn to look at Jasper’s side of the bed, and he’s nowhere in sight. He probably had something to do this morning. I wish he would have told me.
I can’t believe he gave up his rule on treating me like a business transaction and that we’re going to have a friends with benefits relationship without a contract. Maybe there is hope for us, after all. Not in the love department but in the being civilized with one another department.
I glance out the window, watching the drops of rain smear on the glass. I love rainy days in New York, especially sitting at a cafe and watching the city become alive and vibrant.
I climb back into bed and yank the blankets over my body and listen to the peaceful sound of rain pitter-pattering and the thunder clapping in the background.
Jasper walks into the room with a glass of juice and a variety of food. I smile and sit up, letting the white sheet fall from my chest. Jasper’s eyes drop down to my breasts before he sets the plate on the table. When he grabs a condom from the nightstand, he slides it on his hard erection, then gently pushes me onto my back. He kisses my forehead as he thrusts into me, placing his fingers on my clit and moving it in circles. I’m about to come within seconds.
“This is the right way to start the day,” he says, thrusting inside me.
I gasp. I don’t think I’ll ever get used to the size of him. He fucks me like he needs me, driving inside me harder and harder. Every thrust is hard and rough, and he fucks me until he comes inside the condom. When he’s done, he slips it off and ties it in a knot.
After we shower together, he slides my breakfast plate onto my lap. My stomach growls and Jasper shoots me a look.
“I’m sorry,” I say, digging into the bacon. “You wore me out and I didn’t get to eat dinner last night.”
He cocks his eyebrow. “You need to eat because you’re going to be tired a lot. I have a high sex drive.”
“Good. Because life would be boring without good sex.”
He chuckles as he cuts his pancakes into bite-size squares.
I never noticed it until this moment but he’s humming a song, and he doesn’t look like the emotional, closed-off man I first married but a carefree and happy one. Could we be happy as a couple? Can we make this relationship work and be friends without me letting my emotions take over? I have never had a friends with benefits relationship before with someone. I don’t want to fall in love with him as I wouldn’t want my feelings to be one-sided. What I fear the most is falling in love and the person not wanting to love me back or, rather, they love me yet treat me like shit.
“What do you have planned?” he asks in between bites, then he uses his fork to pluck a grape from my plate and tosses it in his mouth.
Today is Sunday, and I’m glad. I don’t think I would have been able to get up earlier and go to work. I’m too tired, but I don’t want to stay in this hotel all day. I want to go home.
Home.
I never thought I’d ever call Jasper’s penthouse my home.
“Nothing, as far as I know,” I say, slapping butter onto my toast and biting a chunk out of it.
“We need to do a fake date tonight. We’re having dinner with the board of the Wolfgang members. They were my uncle’s friends from high school.”
I wolf down the food and set my plate onto the table, then I wrap my arms around him. I tune him out as anxiety takes over me. I don’t want to be Negative Nancy, but I have to get it off my chest, and I need to tell him how I feel about our relationship. I need something that’s proof I won’t get attached to him.
“Promise me when things get out of control with us, our feelings, you will pull the plug. Not divorce me, but back off.”
Jasper raises his eyebrows and sets his fork down on his plate. He intertwines his fingers with mine, stroking my chin.
“Why would I promise you that?” Annoyance is clearly in his voice.
