“I was raised that a woman doesn’t chase after a man,” my answer flies from my mouth.
Keeping my back to him, heat crawls across my shoulders.
“That’s good advice. Turn around.”
Shaking, I do.
“And Ash and Ford kept me busy.” I need to remind him, I have other options.
“I bet they did.” His eyes go dark. “But that’s on me. Not you. I bought you. You’remyprize, my gem, my shining star to light up my dark, lonely nights. And I’ve let them take too much of you.”
“I’m yours, too, this month, Emery.”
“Yes, you are. And you’re right. You shouldn’t have had to call me. Chase me. That’s my job. We completely got off on the wrong foot as far as what I want from you this month.” He reaches for his belt,and my heart spikes. “I should have called you. What we have is completely different from what I’ve had before. This is...challenging me. I’ll be damned if a challenge gets the better of me and takes away from what I want.”
“AmIwhat you want, Emery?”
“Am I whatyouwant, Bernadette?”
“I loved what we did on Friday night.” I nod and glance back at the door. “How you made me feel. I want more of that.”
“When I saw your ass print on the glass, I put a message into housekeeping to not touch those damn doors.”
“You can have my ass in your hands, you don’t need to stare at a smudge.”
“What about Ashton and Ford?” He leaves his belt open, the buckle hanging down. “Did you sleep withbothof them?”
“Yes. I did.”
“Good girl.” He grips my chin. “I would have been very hurt if you lied to me.”
I wonder how he would have known, unless somewhere between the time I left for work this morning, he called Ford.
“I don’t lie. And I mean it when I say, I was hurt I didn’t hear from you. I looked forward to it all weekend. I couldn’t stop smiling coming to work to see you. But you’re so cold.”
“I’m sorry I made you feel unwanted this weekend. I’ll make it up to you. Does it help to tell you that I went to Ford’s apartment last night? To see you? To bring you to my house to get my fill of you?”
“When did you stop by?” My heart jumps in my chest. “Why didn’t—”
“You were in the shower with Ford.” He viscerally drawls every syllable, suggesting how it makes him feel for me to have been pinned against the shower wall, Ford’s powerful, naked body, holding me up, his long, thick cock making me absolutely insane. “And Ash looked like he’d been part of that fun.”
“You knew I slept with both of them, but you asked me anyway?”
“I was testing you. You passed. And I’m glad.”
“What is this? What are we doing?”
“I bought you for a month, and you’ve made it clear you’re moving back to California. I made it clear, I don’t do relationships.” His lips roll inward like the words hurt to say, but then he looks down. “But we’re both having trouble holding on to these terms and conditions, aren’t we?”
“I didn’t expect to meet you or Ford or Ash and have these options thrown at me.”
“Option? Am I the option you want?” He unzips his pants.
It hits me like a lightning bolt.
Yes, he’s the option I want.
Despite the hands, lips, and mouths on me, plus two cocks filling me this weekend, making me come, Emery was always in the back of my thoughts.
