“No results from the blood tests yet.” She checked my vitals and throat. “That will come in a few days, and I’ll let you know, but I’m happy to report you’re recovering well. Still, keep up with the liquids. You still look tired, so I’d recommend leaving here and going to bed. Now, there is something else Paul requested for you. Contraception. I have your records from Family Planning that provided the date of your last period—”
“Wait…please.” I sucked in air to calm my racing pulse. “Paul told you to discuss contraception with me?”
Paul wants me on contraception, and I hadn’t even agreed to his terms. He was presumptuous. But didn’t I masturbate in front of him this morning? What else would he think except that I would have sex with him immediately?
Her brows lowered. “You don’t want to use contraception?”
I twisted my hair over my shoulder. “I do. It’s that I feel like things are moving so fast.”
She smiled and patted my hand. “I understand. However, in my line of work, I always think it’s best to be prepared just in case things happen unexpectedly. However, I’m not here to pressure you. If you’re not ready, you can always come back.”
No way would I risk an unplanned pregnancy.Besides,I’m not going to have sex.I’ve come to tell him in person, that’s all.Of course, I was lying to myself. Even with my dad’s reservation, I wasn’t ready to stop seeing Paul. He excited me in a way no man had ever done before.He had me curious about his life and what it would be like to spend time with him.
I lowered my head. “Yes. Go on.”
“As long as this is your decision. I know it’s weird to have me know your personal information. However, the agreement you signed waived your privacy.”
“I hadn’t realized.” I bit my lip.
“We’ll start you on the pill, but I think since you’re a busy college student, we’ll make you an appointment later for the implant. How does that sound?”
I nodded in agreement. “You know I can’t cover these visits with my student health insurance.”
“Mr. Crane will cover any medical issues. It’s part—”
“Of the agreement I signed,” I finished for her.
“Read it.” She winked at me. “Call me if you need anything.”
I walked out and was surprised and a little disappointed to find only Laurence there. “Mr. Crane is running late, but he wants me to take you to The Peninsula Spa nearby.”
I didn’t want to argue in front of Felicia or Dr. Foster, so I left and sat down in the car.
“Why am I going to a spa? I don’t have an appointment or know what I want, but I bet Mr. Crane knows what he wants,” I said in a snarky tone.
Laurence chuckled and held his palms up and out. “Sorry, Nadia. Fighting with the boss is out of my lane. However, my wife says the massages were pure heaven when Mr. Crane gave her a gift package for her birthday. He never forgets anything. So what’s a little pampering after being sick? What do you say?”
I laughed and sighed noisily. “All right. I’ll get a massage.”
Laurence’s wife was right; the massage was like heaven. But they didn’t stop there. It was like I was a VIP, with my personal team of estheticians, working on me all at once. I went from a facial to a full body scrub and then wax. Next, I had two nail technicians give me a manicure and pedicure at the same time. Last came the body massage in a dim room with calming chants. I changed back into my clothes, and I was nervous about chipping my nails.
Nevertheless, the spa treatment rejuvenated me. My skin felt smooth, and the tension worked out of my muscles left me feeling lighter. It was now fully dark, and I was fortunate I had an evening class tomorrow, or I’d have to go back to the dorms. But I wanted to see Paul. He’d done so much for me, and he didn’t even know me. I wanted to thank him, though I didn’t feel like that was enough.
When I walked back toward reception, I saw Paul walking into the spa. Once again, he had me in awe of his bravura. His tall, elegant body moved with sleek confidence. He hadn’t let me down with his style, and today was just another moment to admire. He even made casual clothing a vision statement. The Ronin leather jacket elevated the black fitted V-neck T-shirt. I was crazy over his pipe-stitched monogram pants. His dark wavy hair tousled across his forehead framed his chiseled-structured face that was no longer clean-shaven but had hair on his square jawline. I had no idea that he could get any hotter, but he had. He left me giddy like a girl with a crush. Then, those impossibleeyes landed on me, and wow. I became stuck to the spot, though my nerves were rushing inside.
He stopped and tilted his head. “Come here, Nadia,” he said in his low, sultry voice that sent my pulse racing. I moved without thought as if he had an invisible cord pulling me toward him. But it was once again his magnetism and his determination. I found it impossible to ignore and not do whatever he wanted. This was just the beginning. A trickle of fear went down my spine at how easily I succumbed to his will.
A dazzling smile caused all the heads in reception to turn and admire Paul. My heart pounded in my chest when I stopped in front of him. He cupped my face and stroked his thumbs against my cheeks. I shivered at his touch. He’d done it before, but this time I could feel a sensual ache like he was stroking between my legs.
He brushed his lips against mine. His were ultra-soft, and I wish he’d lingered. I bit the inside of my cheek to regain my senses and focus.
“Hello, Paul. We need to talk.”
He grinned. “We do, but I need something from you first.” He leaned down next to my ear and whispered, “Go in the bathroom, remove your bra and panties, and throw them away.”
My brows rose, and my mouth dropped open. “Here?”
He nodded.
