I did look okay, though a little flushed. The ballroom was only half full when I arrived. I made my way back to the table and found a drunk James waiting for me. He was saying his goodbyes to the only couple left at our table and who desperately tried to pull themselves away from James’ clutches. It would seem that James was an emotional drunk. I said my goodbyes before they escaped. I sat down next to James. He looked at me and frowned. “Tonight was a bust!” he exclaimed, defeated. “Why is that?” “I didn’t even get so much as a wink, let alone an ass grope,” he harrumphed. “Sweety, he was too busy to do that.” “Is it too much to ask for the sexiest man alive to get out and mingle with people? How else am I ever going to get a chance to grope his ass?” “Really?” I chuckled. “Shush. Where have you been?” he said seriously. “I was kissing the sexiest man alive,” I whispered into his ear. “G

Seeing them down, he then reached under the bench and pulled out two comfortable-looking stools for us to sit on. He returned to the fridge and brought out a bottle of wine and my mouth dried as I watched his hands as they deftly maneuvered the corkscrew and released it. Kai sat down next to me, his knees brushing against mine as he leaned over and poured wine into my glass. It was all so easy and informal. “I thought we should keep it casual. I have better plans for tomorrow, I promise.” He looked so proud of himself that I wondered what he had up his sleeves. I was already impressed but he probably had a gourmet meal or something prepared for tomorrow. The wine was lovely but I couldn’t wait to taste his food. I mixed a little rice into the sauce and bought a spoonful of it to my mouth. It smelled good. But as I placed it on my tongue, I knew there was something terribly wrong. I also saw Kai taste it. “Shit,” he sputtered after a fe

I woke up the next morning in a tangle of limbs. I could feel the chill in the air and snuggled under the covers, moving closer to the furnace that was Kai’s body. He stirred awake, sighing in what I hoped was contentment. Last night had been a dream. After having fun on the sofa downstairs, Kai and I came up to his bedroom and fell asleep. We did wake up in the middle of the night to find each other, though. Twice. It was no wonder we had slept in so late. “Good morning, sweetheart,” Kai’s voice was a raspy whisper that I could barely make out. He rubbed his chin across my cheek and I felt his morning stubble scrape against me. It was not an unpleasant feeling. “You are insatiable, did you know that?” “Me?” I asked, incredulously. “I suppose it had nothing to do with you.” ”No. You were the one who kept attacking me. What is a man to do?” Look at him acting all innocent! “You could have fought me off.” “What is the point? It’s easier

Kai moved around the kitchen and I relaxed on the stool, sipping on some wine and nibbling on the selection of cheese he had placed in front of me. He talked animatedly about his life and upbringing. He told me about Luca, the security guy who was one of his best friends from school. How he grew up like brothers with him even though Luca was not from a wealthy family. Despite being privileged, Kai was not a snooty elitist. “My father always wanted me to join politics like the rest of the family but I was the one who broke away, really,” he said. “My dad can be a very demanding man. Things must be done exactly to his specifications. There is only one person who he would ever let talk sense into him and that is my mother. She rarely berates him, though.” “You know he’s the President, right? Of course, he likes everything done in a certain way,” I said. Kai shook his head. “It’s not that. He just… he was a lot of plans for me. Some that I am starting to

He was cutting fruit when I walked in. His hands deftly used the knife. In his sleep pants, the contour is his ass looked nice. And he wore no shirt. He looked up when he noticed my presence and smirked when he saw me. “You’re so fucking sexy, you know that?” When this man cursed, it did all sorts of things to me. “I am not sure someone put it as eloquently as you, though,” I teased in reply as I walked to his side to see what he was up to. He chuckled before reaching around and squeezing my ass. I shrieked at the contact and jumped away. I pulled myself onto the marble counter to watch him prepare our breakfast. It was a bad idea to sit on a marble counter without panties on. My bits were frozen at contact. Kai placed an occasional slice of fruit into my mouth and I baited him with little moans here and there to see how he would react in those sleeping pants. I knew I had accomplished my goal when he moved to stand rig
