I looked at myself in the mirror and shook my head.
“What have you done, girl?” I said.
I broke into a grin, laughed, and shook my head.
You hussy!
It’d been good. Really good. I hadn’t had sex like that since… Well, a very long time. If ever.
How much time did I have before he woke up?
I glanced out the small bathroom window. The sky was already beginning to grow light with a rising sun.
Then Cleb would wake up. He might catch us together in my room and know something was going on between us. The servants too.
I couldn’t let that happen. Things were complicated enough already. We didn’t need to compound them.
I would tell Traes he had to go. He’d understand. But there was no way I could let him see me like this. He might regret last night if he did.
Did I regret last night?
No, I didn’t. I was fully aware of what I was doing. All day, I couldn’t keep my eyes off him.
Seeing him come to join us while we were out riding was a welcome surprise. I’d been disappointed when he didn’t come with us that morning. It was the friction between us, I suppose. Who wanted to enjoy a day out when it would feel uncomfortable the whole time?
It still made me smile when I thought about how he tried to look so cool, so debonair when he attempted to hop off his arjath… and then fell face-first into the water…
It was just what we needed. A good laugh. Even better—it was at his expense.
I grabbed my comb and dragged it through my hair. I put on a little cream and added some makeup. Just a little. I’d have to remove it when I took a shower anyway. I didn’t want to look a complete hag when I woke him.
I checked myself in the mirror. Not great, but not bad either. I flushed the toilet and came out of the bathroom. Traes didn’t stir a muscle and was still fast asleep.
I guess I wasn’t the only one exhausted after last night’s activities.
Wait… How many times did we do it last night?
A series of images fluttered before my eyes. We did it again, sometime in the middle of the night. That sleepy, lethargic sex that was so slow, and yet, so fine. And wasn’t there another time after that? And another?
No wonder my body hurt! I’d completed a triathlon!
I sat on his side of the bed and peered down at him. His face was calm. He was always so focused, so in control. From the first time I met him, I wanted to tear that control down and make him mine.
I made him beg. I giggled in disbelief. I didn’t know where that side of me had come from. The most shocking thing of all was he’d actually done it.
And I thought he enjoyed it. I know I did.
The role reversal was intoxicating. Him being a super-wealthy billionaire mining magnate and me a girl just trying to earn a little money for a ticket ride home.
Home.
Did sleeping with him change my plans? Did I want to stay longer?
I shoved the question to one side, refusing to let it put a downer on the current situation.
I placed a hand on his arm. He awoke easily and peered up at me. He didn’t scream at my hideous appearance, so that was a bonus. Then he peered around at the room, his hair sticking up the same way mine had.
He sat up and rubbed his eyes with the palms of his hands.
