Saat Rafi tiba bersama mobil polisi, aku sudah dikeluarkan oleh petugas pemadam dari kursi pengemudi yang ringsek. Namun, dia malah berjalan menuju mobil sport edisi terbatas yang hanya tergores sedikit catnya, lalu memeluk Nayla yang sekujur tubuhnya gemetaran. "Pak Rafi, dahi Kak Tika berdarah, harus segera dibawa ke rumah sakit untuk dijahit." Rafi mengangkat tangan menghentikan tandu yang mengangkatku, lalu melirik dahiku yang berdarah dan lenganku yang memar. "Cuma luka ringan. Nayla punya klaustrofobia, di tempat terpencil seperti ini kondisinya lebih berbahaya, bawa dia dulu ke rumah sakit." Saat ditinggalkan, aku mengerahkan sisa tenagaku untuk mencengkeram ujung celananya mati-matian. Dia mengerutkan kening dan melepaskan jari-jariku satu per satu, "Nayla nggak sengaja, dia cuma lagi kambuh. Kamu 'kan pengacara, harusnya paham apa itu keadaan kahar, jangan buat masalah." Setelah itu, dia mengambil sebuah perjanjian damai dari tangan asistennya. Dia menggenggam pergelangan tanganku yang sudah lemas, lalu menekan cap sidik jariku di atasnya. "Nanti ada mobil penyelamat lagi di belakang, tahan sebentar."

During my three-year secretive relationship with my boss, Zane Bender, we used 999 condoms. Before Zane dated me, he'd go through 20 partners per month. After he started dating me, he only bedded me and me only. He promised me that he'd give me a surprise on my birthday. I thought it was going to be a grand proposal. But the moment the clock struck 12, Zane called me. "Cassidy, buy a pack of condoms and deliver it to the 31st floor of Mavelon Hotel right now. Remember, I want the extra thin ones." At that moment, I couldn't believe my ears. Before I could react, Zane completely lost his patience. He urged, "Stop standing around! Hurry up and get over here! Lily and I are in the mood right now!" Lily Hubbard was the charming secretary who recently joined the company. My complexion turned pale instantly. "You're sleeping with her, Zane? Then… Then who am I to you?" Zane fell silent for a while. Then, he let out a soft chuckle. "You? You're just a bedwarmer who can help alleviate my urges. That's all." It turned out that the so-called surprise wasn't a proposal. It was just me fantasizing about a relationship that never existed in the first place. The pink bubbles of love and romance finally popped on my 25th birthday. After that, a car accident completely changed everything in my life. When I meet Zane again, he realizes that he can no longer win back the heart of his "pet".

“Yes, I am Dom. Your dom.” Did he say that last part or I imagined it? Letting out a shaky breath, I slid away from his lap. The front of my panties, scraped against his lap slowly as I slid from him and his light grey eyes darkened. I had no idea my pussy was so drenched that it left a mark on his pants. Jesus! Who is this man and what has he done to me? Soon I was seated beside him, his thighs pressing close to mine as we both drank. Electricity kept shooting tingles up my legs and I felt light-headed. He was silent and I suddenly felt nervous like I needed to speak to this deliciously fair man that sat brooding. Clearing my throat, I tapped his leg—unconsciously on the spot my pussy left—and he looked up, smirking at me. My mouth went dry immediately. “Is there something you want?” he asked. “Uh…No, I mean yes. Is this normal for you?” His handsome features morphed into a frown, “Having a girl leave a wet spot on my pants or taking wine in a bar?” I just discovered that my poor, useless, and filthy father who died a month ago left me a luxurious Cabin in Bakersfield. HOW!? Wish I insisted on that question. I shouldn’t have taken the plunge and moved into that house, but I am a broke, poor virgin and will soon be homeless, so I did. It might as well be the worst or best decision I have ever made because, in 12 hours, my life changed.
