Sunny sat up, her back to him, and her shoulders sagged. Magnus knew she hadn’t told him everything about her life, but whatever weighed her down was serious enough to dash the good mood she’d been in.

He remembered yesterday when his mom said she thought Sunny had taken ill.

Was this what bothered her then, too?

What was she hiding?

Hell, she might have worse trust issues than he did.

Magnus wanted to spend the night discovering all there was to know about Sunny, but something told him he’d be lucky to get past the mask she wore so easily. Earlier, he had seen the real face beneath, but now, the mask crept back in place and he was desperate to keep it away for a few hours longer.

He slid across the bed, resting his hand on her shoulder, but she shrugged it off and stood, taking the sheet with her.

“What kind of sick game is this, Magnus? What the hell are we doing?”

Magnus frowned.

    She was feeling euphoric and Magnus Karlsen was the cause of her state. His sharp, fierce kisses, his way of touching her, his voice while whispering sweet words... The way he held her when she tried to run and hide away from him… Cool air rippled over the tender, aching tips of her breasts only a second before Magnus’s heat enveloped her once again. He had that power… the power to warm her, to fuel a fire inside her so hot, so desperate that nothing mattered but his touch.“Magnus…” she whispered. Sunny opened to him, her hands clutching at his back as the rasp of his chest hair stimulated her sensitive nipples and stole her breath with the pleasure. God, the need to feel him inside her was so consuming. The longing whipping through her, the emotions tearing into her heart, filling

    Wide awake, with Sunny resting in his arms, Magnus enjoyed the quiet before another lovemaking session. “Are you okay, Sunshine?” he asked, passing his fingertips up and down her arm.“Yes, I’m okay,” she replied, leaving a slight kiss on his chest. “How about you? Are you tired?“No, I’m good.”“Hungry or thirsty?”“No.” She sighed and he grinned.“Ask me what you really want to know, kitten.”“Which is?”“Ask me if I want to fuck you again.” Sunny wrinkled her nose. “I hate that word… especially now…”“Then… ask me if I’m horny.” At first, she hesitated but then, with a naughty smile, Sunny lifted the sheets covering them both and tried to peer down at his cock. To make sure she didn’t miss even an inch of his shaft throbbing for her, Magnus threw back the soft sheets and took himself in hand. She gasped.“I don’t think I need to ask.” Her voice suddenly sounded throaty, and it turned him on even more.“I want you again, Suns

    Lining himself up, Magnus pushed in one inch at a time, checking for discomfort. He didn’t want to hurt her. Until that night she had been a virgin. But once again, her body accepted greedily every bit of him on the first agonizing thrust. Slow and steady had won that race. The urge to sprint to the finish now was strong but he wanted to see her go off like a fireworks show first. Buried in as deep as he could be, Magnus flexed his hips and pushed a bit more.“Open your eyes, Sunshine. Look at me.” Sunny hissed, then her eyes flew open and met his stare. Magnus could happily dive into their green depths and stay for a sweet, long while. He stilled for a moment, feeling her tight walls engulf him, sucking him in deeper. Ma

    Sunny stood and stretched muscles she didn’t know she had but, strangely enough, she wasn’t tired. Her body felt completely new. That night, Magnus had touched every bit of her, and his caresses, his kisses, his words stayed with her. She meandered to her suitcase and rummaged for an outfit to wear for their last day out when she noticed her cell phone. It had been off since she boarded the yacht, but since it was her final day, Sunny turned it on, ready to text Alec and let him know she had survived the weekend. Maybe even get his advice on what she should do next. But when she turned her cell phone on, the last thing she expected to see was a text from her mother saying Tony had been paid off and Sunny didn’t need to worry abo

    Sunny’s hand tightened around his.“Really? You bought this place?” Magnus nodded.“This is one of the most famous restaurants in all of New York, and you own it?” He shrugged, laughing as he escorted her to the doors.“I built this place. It has been one of my very first designs,” Magnus replied, admiring the stone and brickwork with its gentle arches and twists and turns as it went up, stretching between two skyscrapers. “I loved this whole project, from the first brick to its last.”“Mag… It’s absolutely gorgeous,” she exclaimed. “I’ve never seen the inside before, though. It’s way too exclusive.”“Well, kitten, tonight you will,” Magnus whispered, kissing

    It only took her a few minutes to find the black capris and blue razor tank she usually wore while doing yoga. The living room in Magnus’s penthouse was a good place as any to go through her moves, and she rolled up the edge of the dark brown rug so she could start, enjoying the warmth of the sun pouring in through the large windows. With each stretch, Sunny breathed deeply, letting go of the stress and worries that held her back for so long. She didn’t really believe in happily ever after, but for the moment, her luck had turned around. She was with Magnus and that was all that mattered. Another deep breath, and she switched to Warrior One pose, settling her hips into the stretch with each deep inhale and exhale. After nearly an hour, every muscle in her body was extremely relaxed. Her eyes closed, and she switched to Warrior Two pose when footsteps moved towards her and hands closed around her hips.“Dammit, woman… Seeing you like this… You realize wha

    But that was the last thing on Magnus’s mind.“Stay right there,” he grunted. For just a few seconds he disappeared into the bedroom and reappeared with a condom in his hand. Sunny watched him eagerly.“Put it on me,” Magnus said, ripping the foil package open. Leaning toward him, Sunny dusted a series of kisses across his abdomen, his hips... His proud cock. The muscles of his abs clenched when she licked the tip. She wrapped her hand around his cock. Oh my, every inch of him felt like heated velvet steel. Sunny stroked the length of him once, twice, grazing the responsive head with her thumb. Her gaze climbed its way up his taut, gorgeous body and stopped at his face. Eyes closed, jaw tense, he looked like a man lost in pleasure.“Put the condom on.” His voice broke on the last syllable. Pouting, she grasped Magnus tighter, raising her other hand and using it to glide up and down his length.“Not yet.”“Now!” Sinc

    Magnus planned on taking Sunny to the outdoor market for the day and letting her peruse while he found some fresh fish and vegetables to cook a fancy dinner later, but halfway there, he received a phone call from his contractors and they had to make a detour. They were having issues with the blueprints for the theater renovations, which had to be taken care of as soon as possible before any work could begin.“I’m sorry, kitten,” Magnus said again, kissing the back of Sunny’s hand in the limo.“It’s okay, Mag. I don’t mind. Besides,” Sunny replied, glancing at her cell phone, “Alec is there.”“The theater is closed. Why is your roommate there?”“I don’t know the reason. But since he is, I really want you to meet him.” “Yanis said he is quite a character,” he said smirking. “Alec is an actor, so he has his moments,” she agreed. “He’s been dying to meet you all weekend, though, so be nice.” He drew Sunny into his arms and kissed the top of her head, unable to get

    A FEW WEEKS LATER Sunny paced around the backstage area, cracking her knuckles until Alec rolled his eyes and told her to sit still so he could finish her makeup.“Oh, Alec… I can’t sit… I’m too nervous… This is the biggest day of my life! What if I forget my lines? What if I trip and fall? What if something bad happens?” Laughing, Alec guided her back to her chair and touched up her face.“You won’t, Mein Schatz! You are having a little panic attack, so, take a few deep breaths and calm down. Everything is going to be absolutely perfect. I promise you.”“You can’t promise, Alec… How do you know?” she asked, desperate.“Listen, sweetie, I am your best friend and best friends know these things,” he told her. “There… What do you think? Be brutally honest, please.” He stepped to the side, and Sunny gasped at her face.“There’s a thing I never understood… Why are you always better at putting makeup on than me?” Sunny asked, admiring his artwork. “You did an a

    The clock hit nine, and Magnus waited for a knock at the door. Sunny stood in the doorway to her bedroom, ready to duck out of sight the second Tony arrived. Magnus was not going to have her anywhere near the man who thought he could control or take the woman he loved. She was his, and he’d prove it tonight.“Mag, maybe we should call Tony and ask him to meet somewhere else…”“Kitten, it’s too late now,” Magnus pointed out. “Besides, this is the right place to make that asshole understand that he played his last hand and lost. He could keep the money, but he would never again touch my woman.”“Baby…”“Sunshine, it won’t take long and it’s going to be alright. Trust me, okay?” The briefcase filled with the payoff sat on the kitchen counter, and Magnus smirked. It was definitely more than the measly eighty grand plus ever-growing interest she owed the man. The minutes ticked by and finally, at ten after, a fist pounded on the door. Magnus waved Sunny into h

    Magnus shut off the shower spray and flattened his palms on the slick tile wall. Cold water ran down his face and chest, tightening his skin. The shower hadn’t helped his aroused state… not in the least bit. One night was never enough with Sunny. God, he was still hungry for her. He got up from her bed still horny as a red deer. His ‘rigid’ situation was not helped by the fact that no matter where he paced in the apartment, her naked, slumbering form seemed to be visible. Magnus flipped the cold water back on, wincing at the icy blast. He stuck his head directly beneath the shower spray and attempted to focus on something else but Sunny’s naked body. “Think of how you’re going to take care of that asshole!” he murmured and his hand curled into a fist on the shower wall. When the bathroom door creaked open outside the shower, Magnus stopped breathing. His right hand lifted on his own to shut off the cold water, bathing the

    She nodded once, unsure what to do… unsure what to say. Magnus set the broken pieces down and took a step towards her, but she backed away quickly.“No… What are you doing here? How…?” she asked almost in a whisper.“Sunshine… Please, stop…”“Oh, hell no! You don’t get to do this,” Sunny snapped, holding up her hand. “Who the hell do you think you are? Who gives you the right to be here? You can’t just walk into my place, break my things, and expect me to… What? I don’t even know what the hell you want! Just get out of my house! Go back to your penthouse and… Just get out of here and leave me the fuck alone!”“Wait, please,” he said, but she shook her head.“No! You threw me out, you, jackass! You pushed me aside as if I was a nobody!”&nb

    “My son had trust issues with women for a long time. They’re always after his money but with our girl… Well, with our sweet Sunshine, it was different. I have a feeling that before that phone call, Magnus was ready to propose to her for real,” Tora said, leaning back on the couch.“Well, my dear Tora, we’ll never know now…”“Listen, Alec, I came here to tell Sunshine that my son is being the biggest idiot in the world. He’s walking around like a corpse, pissed at himself and the world for what happened, but he’s hurt, and by the look on your face, I’d say he’s not alone.”“No, Tora, he’s not,” Alec told her. “During the last few days, ‘Mein Schatz’ hasn’t smiled once, and working at the bar under the man she owes money to… I’m absolutely sure it’s going to kill her slowly. I’d be damned if I’ll stay and watch that.”“This is what I wanted to hear from you, my dear boy! Alrighty, then,” she said and slapped her hands against her thighs as she stood. “Even though I know the answer, I’ll

    Tora was in her living room, taking care of some things, before joining her husband on a short trip to Martha’s Vineyard when her cell phone rang. Maybe Magnus changed his mind and decided to call his mother finally… But when she looked at the ID, Tora froze.“Harald, darling… I’ll be right there,” she announced to her husband. He nodded, taking their luggage to the car. Tora answered the call.“Good morning, Yanis,” she replied.“‘Good morning, ma’am,’” the man said politely but seemed quite worried. “‘I’m sorry for bothering you…’”“Is Magnus alright, Yanis?” she asked quite anxious.“‘He is… Physically, at least, he is.’” His answer didn’t satisfy Tora, but she tried to maintain her composure.“Yanis, what is going on with my son?”“‘Ma’am, he is in love and he is suffering a great deal. It’s been over a week now since he’s spending every single day and night in his office.’”“He’s doing what? Why?”“‘It’s about Miss Makkena. He refuses to go to his pe

    Magnus glanced over his shoulder to find the brunette still standing there so he took the hand the man offered him.“Pleasure to meet you… Mister…?”“Amato. My name is Antonio Amato,” the man replied as his eyes narrowed on Magnus’s face. “But you can call me Tony. All my friends do.” Not impressed by the man, Magnus prepared to say his name.“Wait, wait… Don’t tell me. I think I know who you are! Your name is Magnus Karlsen.” Quite perplexed, Magnus nodded. Who was this guy? How come he knew him?“I’m surprised to see such a fine businessman like yourself here

    Neither said a word until they were far away from the bar and Sunny’s knees gave out completely. She leaned her back against a wall, but her strength was inexistent and she slowly slid down, finishing on the pavement.“This is not even my fault…” she murmured and started to cry silently. “So, why am I being punished?” After passing his fingers through his black hair, Alec threw out a frustrated sigh and sat down on the pavement next to her. He put his head on her shoulder, ignoring the curious stares of people passing them by. Sunny covered her face with her hands and they stayed like this, in silence, for a few long minutes. At one point, Alec put his arm around her shoulder and Sunny stopped crying.“Schatz, thanks for getting me out of there… No one has ever done something like this for me. You are the most amazing human being I’ve ever met,” Alec told her slowly and kissed her temple. “Really.”“You shouldn’t have been there in the first place,” Sunny
