Lust & Lies Box Set-Sexual Awakenings, Excess, Predator & Prey

“Yeah, I have to get home,” I said, refusing to look at him. The truth was, I had absolutely nothing to do, but he didn’t need to know that. When I felt strong enough to see him naked without dropping to my knees and thanking him for the weekend with my tongue, I kissed him goodbye. He insisted I wait until he dressed so he could walk me to the door.

“I had fun,” I said, kissing him slowly and pulling away with a smile.

“Me too,” he smiled. “Talk soon, naughty girl.”

“Bye,” I rasped out, finding my trusted driver right where he should be. I smiled at Carson and turned back to smile at Aiden, who was looking at me from the door. I sat back in the limo, laughing at my clothes.

“I was getting worried,” Carson said. I was touched by his concern.

“Sorry, Carson, I should have texted.”

“It’s all right if you’re all right, Miss.”

I smiled broadly at him in the rearview mirror. “Never better.”

“A man is rich in proportion to the number of things which he can afford to let alone.”

“Good Morning,” Taylor chimed on the phone.

“Sure is,” I replied happily. Her sudden pause on the phone made me giggle.

“Well, someone had a good weekend,” she said, not hiding her surprise. Had I really been that dreadful lately?

“I did,” I agreed, stretching in my bed as I put her on speaker and walked to my closet.

“I have a few things to discuss with you. Do you have a few minutes?”

“I’m coming in today,” I said, feeling guilty for having been so absent. “I’ll be there in an hour. Can it wait until then?”

“Sure. The most pressing is an offer on one of your properties. The Garrison firm said they have been pushing for a quick sale.”

“Really?” I asked, intrigued. “Send me the outline, and I’ll see you shortly.”

“Sure thing,” she said then hung up. I stood in my closet in a daze, still deliciously sore from the exertion of this weekend. Aiden and I had spent hours familiarizing ourselves with each other’s bodies. He hadn’t pressed me further about anything personal, and I realized I hadn’t asked much about him at all. I didn’t even know the man’s last name.

I stood, surrounded by the world’s most accomplished designers, as I thought of how he’d kissed me, roamed my body with his touch, and promised to worship it as long as I let him.

My phone vibrated as I settled on a Donna Karen sheath dress and smart shoes. I looked to see the object of my intrigue was thinking about me too.

Aiden: Before you go rule the world today, just know I meant what I said. I want to rule your body.

Nina: Well, I have to admit your résumé is impressive.

I carried out the quick task of a shower and couldn’t help but to glance at my phone after I dressed. He was already getting under my skin. His hands and mouth lingered on me deliciously.

Aiden: I’ll see you soon, naughty girl.

He was both a sensitive and extremely dominant lover. I marveled at that thought alone. I spent the entirety of my time at my vanity, makeup in hand, thinking about his perfect cock and how amazing it felt to be completely full of him.

I wanted more.

On the way to my office downtown, I opened the email listing the properties Scott Solutions held. I scrolled through them, familiar with most of the addresses. I opened a new email and saw the address I had an offer on was in Savannah. Puzzled, I looked at the list Taylor had originally sent me. All of the addresses were in or around the Charleston area. I walked into work and greeted Taylor, who followed me into my office. She looked flawless in a pinstriped pencil skirt and white blouse, her hair perfectly combed into a sleek ponytail.
