There was something strangely sweet about his confession. Another song filtered through the speakers, and we drifted in silence for a while, our bodies moving as one, fluid and easy.

Resting my head against his chest, I let out a breath. “This feels nice. Honestly, I didn’t think I’d enjoy it.”

Christian brushed his nose along my temple. “Same here. I usually can’t stand things like this.”

That wall I always kept up? It was slowly crumbling around him. But it didn’t take long for life to remind me exactly why I built it in the first place.

We were seated at a large, circular table arranged to host at least a dozen guests. Christian took the time to introduce me to the couples on either side, though a few seats remained unoccupied.

“And what line of work are you in, Lena, was it?” The man to my left, Braxton Harlow, offered a pleasant smile. He was older, but still had that distinguished charm, with silver hair that contrasted sharply with his sun-warmed skin. Christian was deep in a c

    “Nah, we were just… having some pasta,” Christian said, casting a brief glance in my direction. We shared a look, subtle but telling.“What did the doctor say about me?” Lil asked from the hospital bed.“He believes you’re going to need surgery on your hip. They’re keeping you here for a few days, then transferring you to a rehab center. I’m coordinating with Cambria to make sure you’re placed somewhere top-tier.”“I don’t want you stressing yourself out over me.”“You could’ve hit your head, Lil. You don’t even remember how you fell. Of course I’m going to be concerned. I’m just grateful it wasn’t something worse, Meme.”“So am I,” I murmured quietly.We stayed by Lil’s side for another hour before finally heading back toward the city. Christian turned on some soft classical music for the drive and didn’t say a single word the entire way. The silence was heavy, thoughtful. It wasn’t until we crossed into Manhattan that I finally broke it.“Are you alright?”“Yeah… I’m okay. It’s just

    All I could think about was how badly I needed to be inside her. The urge to claim every inch of her—every part of her—was almost unbearable. I wanted to possess her completely, body and soul. But the truth?She already owned me.I was beyond help. Totally and completely screwed.“Take it easy, baby,” I murmured, trying to keep a grip.Right then, my cell phone started to ring. Shit. There wasn’t a chance in hell I was picking it up. But when the home phone began ringing a second later, a weight dropped in my gut. Only one person ever used that number—Mémé.The answering machine clicked on.“Mr. Merrick? This is Cambria Lynch, your grandmother’s social worker. She had a serious fall today and was taken to Westchester Hospital. I’m calling to inform you.” The rest of the message was too muffled to make out clearly.Lena froze. She released my cock from her mouth and jerked back, her wide eyes focused on the speaker as the words hit her.I shot to the phone, but by the time I grabbed it

    She went quiet for a moment before saying softly, “Christian… that’s… wow… I… that’s really beautiful.”Feeling a sudden wave of emotion, I quickly pivoted. “So, what do I owe the pleasure of this call?”“I wanted to ask if I should bring anything.”“Just that gorgeous ass of yours, sweetheart.”“I’m serious. I want to bring something.”“I’ve got everything under control.”“Alright… then wine. I’m bringing wine.”God, this woman was stubborn.“My driver will be at your place in an hour.”“Okay.”I hesitated for a beat, then murmured her name, “Lena…”“Yeah?”“I can’t fucking wait to see you.”⸻I WAS SO WRAPPED UP in setting our table that I’d forgotten to notify the doorman to send Lena straight up. When he rang to say she’d arrived, I decided to have a little fun.“Put Miss Venedetta on the line, please,” I told him.She came on, her voice like velvet. “Yes?” My dick stirred at the mere sound of her. She wasn’t even in front of me yet, and I was already hard just knowing she was in

    Lena: Are you certain that’s what you want?There was no hesitation as I typed my reply.Christian: It’s what I’ve wanted from the very beginning. Those little tests were your idea.Lena: I’m nervous.I pressed call instead of playing the texting game of guessing what she was really thinking. She answered on the first ring.Christian: What did she say to you?Lena: Avery?Christian: Who else?Lena: I already told you.Christian: Tell me again. I feel like I’m missing something.Lena: I don’t remember her exact words.Christian: Tell me what you do remember.Lena: Well, she basically followed me while I was in the bathroom. Then she said she was doing a service to all women by warning me about you.Christian: Go on.Lena: There wasn’t much more. She said I wasn’t worth her time and that I’d figure it out on my own eventually. Then she told me to ask you why you’re so determined to destroy her best friend’s husband’s company.Christian: I already told you about Liam and Genevieve. He’s

    Christian Merrick definitely had a mischievous, sugary streak beneath that polished exterior.Intrigued, I ripped open the next envelope. Nestled inside was a box of emerald green Betty Down There Hair Color. A sticky note was affixed on top, scrawled in his familiar handwriting: Wasn’t sure if the rug matched the drapes.Grinning uncontrollably, I thought to myself: Keep this up, and you’ll be finding out firsthand very soon.⸻THE BUZZER WENT OFF AT EXACTLY 7:30.I pressed the intercom button and spoke into it, then unlocked the building’s front door. “Is this Celibacy Central, Manhattan edition?”“Regrettably, yes.”I hit the buzzer again to let him in and left my apartment door ajar as I waited.The sound of his footsteps echoed as he walked confidently down the hallway from the elevator, each purposeful stride making my heart race faster. He was dressed in a sharp tuxedo, looking like sin in tailored form. Honestly, he might’ve been the most devastatingly attractive man I’d ever
