Her Best Men

“I don't even know if I do honestly,” he said. “But, I sure as hell thank God for letting me have you.”

I nestled in close to him, resting my head against him, and traced circles on his sculpted chest.

“I'm thankful for you too, you know,” I said softly.

My pulse raced, and I heard his heart pick up speed too. He stroked my hair and we just laid there for a bit, cherishing the sensation of being close to one another. It was in that moment I knew I was falling for this man. It wasn't just the sex, there was more there. A connection. I wondered if he felt it too?

His alarm went off, and he cursed under his breath.

“I have to run into the office today,” he said.

“Oh, okay,” I said, sitting up, allowing him to get out of bed. “I don't want to keep you.”

“You're not. I'm the boss, I can be late if I want to,” he said, and his eyes sparkled in the early morning light. “How do you feel today?”

I felt stretched and sore, but it was a nice sensation; a reminder of what we'd done and how amazing it all had been. Jude was much thicker than I'd imagined him to be and he'd made me feel sensations I never imagined I could.

“Sore, honestly,” I said and laughed. “You really did a number on me.”

Concern was etched across his face. “I'm sorry, I didn't mean to –”

“No, seriously, I love it,” I said, kissing those soft lips. “It's a good sore. I love remembering what you did to me.”

I felt his lips curling up underneath mine.

“Let's bathe,” he said. “Hopefully the warm water will help the soreness subside some.”

“So we can play later?”

He winked at me. “Only if you're up for it.”

His voice was smooth and low, and it sent shivers down my spine. He could make me wet just by saying my name. Yeah, I had it bad for this guy.

He led me from the bed to the master bath. The room was as large as some apartments in the city, with a shower large enough to fit half a football team, and a soaking tub big enough to fit at least two people comfortably. Jude was still naked, and as he bent over to turn on the water, I stared at that fine ass of his. Checking the temperature first, he turned back to me, a small smile tugging at his lips as he caught me staring.

“It's nice and warm,” he said. “Ladies first.”

“Don't you have to go into work?” I teased.

“Perks of being the boss,” he said, swirling the water around the tub with his hand. “I'd have to shower or bathe anyway, might as well do it with you. Conserve water, you know.”

I liked the sound of

that, a lot, but I also didn't want to keep him if he needed to leave. The look in his deep, blue eyes made me move toward the tub though. I felt utterly powerless to stop. Gingerly, I lifted one leg and stepped into the tub, followed by the other. I sat down in the warmth and sighed. Jude was right. The water was perfect.

He climbed in behind me, sliding himself around me and cradled my body between his legs. His cock rested against my ass, and I felt it growing harder against me. I leaned back, savoring the sensation of his body against mine, and closed my eyes.

“This is heaven,” I purred.

“Yes, it is,” he said, running his hands through my hair.

He pushed my hair to one side and kissed down the length of my neck. I sighed and felt my insides tighten at the feel of his lips.

“I've arranged for my driver – Antoine – to take you shopping,” he said. “Veronica will make you breakfast and lunch, and I figured we'd go out for dinner tonight, if you'd like.”

“I'd love that,” I said. “Except the shopping part. I can't –”

“It's been arranged,” he said. “Since your honesty saved me from a long, loveless – and ultimately every expensive – marriage, Ember, and it cost you so much, it's the least I can do,” he said. “Get some clothes, whatever you need. And I mean that. Whatever your little heart desires.”
