Did she even realize to whom she was speaking? Something told me that this one was out of control with her mouth. But yet, I found her irresistible. As she slept, I stared at her. My eyes raked over the gray cardigan she was wearing with the black tank top underneath and tight black pants. I needed to see her standing up. My mind only imagined what was hiding under those layers of clothes. Her face was beautiful, and I would bet my life that her body was just as sexy. Once again, my cock started to rise just thinking about me fucking her from behind, gripping her ass as tight as I could while I pounded in and out of her, listening to the screams of her ecstasy as my cock satisfied her every need.
I hadn’t had great sex in a while. Greta, my newly ex-girlfriend, had become unbelievably irritating, always whining and bitching at me for something. She’d bitch when I had to work late and then tell her mom and sister what a horrible boyfriend I was because I didn’t spend enough time with her. We’d been dating for six months, and for me, it was six months too long. Withholding sex was her form of punishment for me. Did I care? Not really. We’d been broken up for twenty-four hours and it had been the best twenty-four hours of my life. I had no choice but to dump her when I was in Seattle. I couldn’t take her calling me every half hour and then blow up my phone with ridiculous text messages asking me who I was sleeping with because I didn’t answer. I’d never cheated on her. I didn’t do shit like that. It wasn’t who I was. Even though I was a rich powerful man, I still respected my relationships with women. It was her own insecurities that led her to think I was sleeping around with every woman in the world. Ha. I wished.
When I wasn’t in a relationship, which I found I was better off not being in one, I’d have a lot of sex with different women. One-night stands mainly. Women I met at business conferences, bars, restaurants, business trips. All casual, no strings, and absolutely perfect. I got my needs fulfilled without all the bullshit drama. I made a vow that once I got rid of Greta and she was out of my life, I would stay single for a long time. Even if the right woman appeared right in front of me, it didn’t matter. I was tired of all the harping. It exhausted me and work did that enough. Running a multi-billion-dollar hotel and resort chain wasn’t easy. There was too much competition out there and I needed to keep on top of my game if I wanted to remain the best.
I was the CEO of Quinn Hotels. Our chain was right up there with Four Seasons, Ritz Carlton, and Mandarin Oriental. Last year, Forbes placed Quinn Hotels, also known as “Q,” number four on their list of the ten best hotels chains in the world. I inherited the company when my father passed away a couple of years ago. He inherited it from his father, my grandfather, who started the luxurious hotel chain back in 1929 and quickly became a huge competitor for Hilton Hotels.
My work was my life and the women I dated needed to understand that. Greta swore she did. Which I believed for the first month of our relationship. Then the arguing started and all the crying. That woman cried a river more than anyone I’d ever known. She stressed me out more than she made me happy. Why didn’t I dump her sooner? I had a lot going on in my life and having to break up with her seemed to be more trouble than what it was worth at the time. Piss poor excuse, I know. But I was in the middle of opening a new hotel. We ran into loads of problems and I didn’t want to deal with her.

The bumpiness of the plane landing jolted me out of my seat.
“What the hell? Doesn’t this pilot know how to land a plane?”
Gabriel chuckled. “It wasn’t that bad.”
“Says you. You weren’t in the middle of a dream on the beach, soaking up the sun and being served fruity drinks with cute little umbrellas by an incredibly sexy guy.”
“No. I wasn’t. And I’d be overly concerned if I was.” He smirked.
His smirk made me tighten my legs. I didn’t mention that the incredibly sexy guy serving me drinks on the beach was him. I’d just met him, and he was already invading my dreams. My eyes couldn’t stop diverting themselves to his shiny watch. The plane finally came to a stop and the captain spoke over the speaker.
“There will be a thirty-minute delay in retrieving your luggage from baggage claim. It appears that some of the carousels are not working at the moment and there’s a backup of luggage from other flights that will be put through first.”
“Are you fucking kidding me?” I sighed as I stood up from my seat.
“Do you have somewhere to be?” Gabriel asked.
“Of course. Don’t you?” I cocked my head at him as we exited the plane.
“Yes, but it’s only thirty minutes,” he replied. “How about we get a drink while we wait?”
“I think a drink would be fine since I’m not going anywhere any time soon.” I smiled.
I needed that watch.
We entered the Delta Sky Lounge, ordered our drinks, and took a seat on a bright red couch. When Gabriel removed his glasses, I felt the air in my lungs constrict. A rich chocolate brown. Seductive. The kind of eyes that could burn a hole through your very soul.
“So, what do you do in the corporate world?” I asked.
“A lot of shit that makes my head go crazy.” He grinned. “Where is your store located?”
“Cyber World.”
“Ah, you’re an online retailer?” His brow arched.
“Yes.” I smiled.
“What’s the name?” he asked.
“Why do you want to know?”
“Why not?”
“So you can stalk me?” I gave him a sly smile.
