“Heart,” he whispered desperately.
I pulled my mouth off him and looked up at him with a coy smile. I scooched back on the bed and pushed the lace thong from my hips and down my legs. Then I propped myself up on my elbows, spreading my legs slightly. I watched as Daniel’s lips parted slightly as his gaze fell between my legs. I felt myself get wet under his gaze. He inhaled a sharp breath before climbing onto the bed and hovered over me.
He positioned himself against me and I held my breath as he dipped into me slowly. I grabbed the bed sheets and held them tightly as he filled me inch by inch. Daniel’s eyes moved from mine to where we met, watching as he slowly pulled out and pushed back into me with ease. He was getting off from watching, and I was getting off from watching him.
He lowered his mouth to my breasts and I could feel his breath against my nipples, causing them to harden. When he parted his lips against my nipples and his tongue flicked against them, I moaned and grabbed at his lower back.
Now he started moving faster, consuming all of me. Filling my walls with his girth, as my fingertips dug into him. I spread my legs even further so they sprawled out on either side of me. I lifted my hips slightly as pleasure built in my chest. It felt like I was going to scream as I tightened around him.
His fingers found my clit and began massaging me as our breathing grew heavy and in sync. He pounded into me and his fingers moved faster. I bit my bottom lip to stop from crying out as euphoric pleasure consumed me. He thrust into me once more, hard and deep. I felt him convulse inside of me as he let out a loud moan before collapsing around me.
We lay there for several minutes, breathless and not saying a word. What the hell had just happened? One second, we were arguing and the next we were completely losing ourselves to each other in a hotel suite. I had completely lost my head and my heart.
I peeled Daniel’s arm off of me and stood carefully from the bed, my body still processing the pleasure it had just experienced. I walked to the bathroom to use the toilet and cleaned myself up. When I came back to the room, Daniel was in bed looking at me with a smile on his face.
“Don’t look at me like that,” I said, holding back a smile.
“That was just…wow,” he murmured, running a hand through his hair.
“We really should get back,” I said.
“Are you serious?” He sat up and eyed me questioningly.
“I am actually working tonight, Daniel.”
I slid on my dress and heard him climb off the bed. His hand found the zipper of my dress and zipped it up.
“Thank you,” I murmured.
He kissed my neck before putting on his tux. I could have stayed in that room all night, but I really did have to work. I didn’t need Brian asking questions about how I didn’t raise any money or socialize with any new associates. However, I hoped we would find ourselves here later tonight. Maybe we would actually talk.
We rode the elevator back down to the lobby and walked back into the hall. The music was now booming and there were questionable dance moves happening on the makeshift dance floor. I giggled at an older man doing the robot before giving Daniel’s arm squeeze and heading to the silent auction table.
The next hour, I tried my best to focus on talking business, but seeing Daniel across the room was a major distraction knowing what we just did upstairs. Once the final bids were in for the silent auction, there was little left for me to do, so I went in search of Daniel. I spotted him near the bar, talking with another man.
As I approached, I heard Daniel talking and what he said made me stop in my tracks.
“I’m not really into the whole marriage and white picket fence thing. Kids and a wife. They just tie you down. I have a major business to run.”
He laughed as the other man slapped him on the back in agreement.
My stomach did a flip as I slowly backed away. I couldn’t believe what I had just heard come out of his mouth. I was a complete fool for falling into bed with him and letting my emotions run rampant, thinking that this time it would be different.
I turned and strode quickly out of the banquet room. It felt like the walls were beginning to close in on me. I was either going to puke or cry and had to get out of there. I ran through the lobby and out the hotel entrance. My mind gave a whisper of goodbye to the man I thought I was just starting to figure out.

Daniel
“I feel you, man,” said Chuck, as he gave my back another good slap. “I have never understood these guys who end up with one woman.”
“What’s the fun in that?” I asked.
“Right? No fucking thanks. And then after the woman reels you in, they want a ring. They drop those little hints and take you through Tiffany’s innocently.” Chuck held his hand out and wiggled his fingers and batted his eyelashes.
“All part of their master plan,” I agreed.
“Then they get that. Then they want the big, white wedding, and yadayada. It’s always take-take-take.”
