“I slept for five hours?” After sex, he’d risen, frowning at the clock. “This is a record. I feel like a new man.”

“You look ten years younger,” I told him as I stretched. “Now I’d put you in your mid-twenties.”

“I just turned thirty-one.”

“Yes, but you looked thirty-five before.”

He raised a brow. “You won’t ask why I don’t sleep? I’ve had insomnia for decades.”

I sighed. “Why wouldn’t you? You’re in a high-pressure job—which might be dangerous—and you’re running a billion-dollar empire.”

He chucked me under the chin. “I don’t know if I’ll quite be a billionaire today, beautiful.” When he strode to his closet, the lines across his back saddened me seeing them in the daylight.

He returned wearing a clean pair of jeans, with a white undershirt for me. “Here. Arms up.”

I hopped from the bed, raising them, and he pulled the shirt over me. It swallowed my body.

He grinned down at me. “Almost as good looking as you were in that dress.”

    I walked out of the bedroom, saying, “Okay, we’re all agreed. Heated argument about to begin. . .”He was arguing with Dimitri and they both looked angry. They both turned to me, accusation in their eyes.“What?” fear ran through me, and I had the feeling I needed to run out of there it didn't matter where, my flight or fight mode was activated.Rome strode toward me. “Are you on birth control right now?”I disturbed my lip with my teeth. “Why would you ask that?” Was that information in the records they’d e-mailed? I started hyperventilating.“You have to be on something.”“I’m going to be.” The doctor had told me to wait until after my next period to start, and that wasn’t for a couple of weeks. How long would the pill take to work? “I have a prescription. It’s not a problem.”He stabbed his fingers through his hair, looking devastated.What did that have to do with birth control? “Again, it’s not a problem.” Though this should have been a private conversation, Dimitri looked on

    “What the hell are you doing?”I blinked up at Roman. How long had I slept in the bathtub? He looked furious, as usual.He turned off the water, pulling me from the shower. He roughly dried me off, then dressed me in another T-shirt. “ Let's get this over with, then I don’t care what you do.”“Are you happy now?” I demanded of Roman when the doctor left.I’d agreed to let the doctor administer a morning-after shot and insert an IUD to prevent fertilization. Was that the Rome’s idea? He was that afraid?He calmly sat on the living room couch. Though rain threatened, he had all the doors and windows open. “Happy? No. Satisfied that your plan won’t work? Yes.”Having some strange man examine me was bad enough, but Roman had stayed in the room! He’d been there when the doctor had said things like, “Definitely could’ve conceived,” “Somebody certainly had a strenuous night,” and “What a tiny cervix; this will hurt.” I felt invaded.Roman hearing that stuff was worse than the pain of insert

    I’m not a liar. He knows that.from what I've noticed about Rome,He’s a quiet man who keeps his own counsel but somehow knows everything. He spends his days playing the markets, master of a system none of us understand. I’m simple in comparison. What you see is what you get. How does he not know me by now? We spent the night talking about ourselves and getting to know each other.I’m only half aware of leaving the hotel, stumbling down the stairs, and waiting beside the taxi for the driver to unlock the door. My mouth is bone dry, my limbs still weak from the aftermath of the adrenaline rush. I need to sit. As soon as he clicks the key fob, I open my own door and collapse in the back seat.I look out the car window to the front of the house, the tiniest bud of hope poking up in my chest, as if I can’t help but torment myself. Maybe the door will burst open and Rome will run out, shouting, “Stop!”He’ll drag me from the car, clutch me to his hard chest, gentle and careful this time, b

    I made it one by one to the top of the stairs.I’d taken out my phone and stared at the screen, wondering if he would contact me. To kill time, I’d sent Danielle a voice message and then a text. I needed to tell her good-bye anyway.That had been a while ago—strange that she hadn’t tried to call. Shouldn’t she be dying for some gossip?What would I tell her about Rome? Was I making the right decision with him?During my time at the hotel, I’d worried that I would grow used to hooded blue eyes and mind-blowing sex, and my infatuation with him would spiral out of control.I did all of that didn't I?I might put Roman behind me, but I was never going to get over him. it wouldn’t happen with him. With a sinking feeling in my belly, I recognized that I was always going to have a little feeling towards him.I was so screwed.Was I ready to forget him totally? How would I feel if he got together with another woman?Now that I’d had some time to cool off, I wasn’t as outraged about him gettin

    I stare at the reflection of the girl in the mirror with her full face of makeup and her black lace strapless dress.The energy in the air is electric. The Escort Girls are excited for tonight. It’s showtime.The thought of entertaining a man tonight turns my stomach.I’m not sleeping with anyone. I don’t want to even talk to a man, let alone have sex. Roman well and truly tamed the tiger that was my sexual drive. After taking in the size of him, I was sore for days. But it was my ego that took the biggest hit. I’m still licking my wounds and to make it worse, hearing that he booked Danielle was the straw that broke the camel’s back.Pathetic.I hear the excited squeal of one of the girls. She peers around the curtain that hides a one-way window that shows the catwalk area. The girl has long blonde hair and is drop dead gorgeous.“He’s here. He hasn’t been here for months.” She dances back to her makeup chair. “I’m so excited, I could die.”“Who’s here?” someone else asks.“Mr. Silver

    “Sixty-five!” another man calls.I glance toward the door to see Roman leaving with Luna. He’s holding her hand. He says something to her, and she laughs in response as they continue to leave. He didn’t even stay to see who I chose, God, I read this all wrong.He doesn’t care that I work here. Maybe he's still angry because he thought I tried to entrap him with a baby. He just doesn’t give a fuck.I go through the introductions with the men one by one, and they all seem nice.But none are who I want.“Who will it be, Ana? Who will be your date for tonight?”I look between them. I want to go for the kindest looking man—the one I know will handle the rejection with ease.“Mr. Steven,” I say softly. He’s blonde and sweet looking. He walks over and takes my hand to kiss the back of it. “Hello, Ana.” “Hi.” I force a smile. He leads me down the catwalk and we walk toward the exit. Is Roman kissing her right now? Is he grabbing her face and kissing her? God, it’s one thing to never experi

    My toes curl. Damn it, his kisses are so good. It’s just so. .“We’re no good for each other, Roman,” I murmured against his lips.He takes my face in both hands. “I know. So, let’s be bad for each other instead.Something cracks inside of me.I pull his head close to mine , and I kiss him back with everything I have. Our kiss turns frantic. We lose control and turn into animals. I’ve never had a sexual attraction like this to anyone. It’s uncontrollable. Kissing this man is the very last thing I should be doing, but hell, I can’t stop.“Naked,” he growls. “I need you fucking naked.”I tear his suit jacket off his shoulders and throw it to the side. I get to work on his shirt buttons. I need him naked.His lips find my neck, and he runs his teeth down it. I feel like I’m about to combust and am filled with urgency as I struggle with his pants. The button finally breaks free, and I pull his pants down in one sharp movement.His hard cock springs free. Precum is already beading on its end

    It is late at night as I dream of a heavenly scene.Arousal moves throughout my body and I relax to enjoy it.It feels good.I like this dream. I like it a lot.My legs spread farther apart, and I smile to myself.I feel a kiss on my inner thigh, and my sleepy eyelids open. My hand goes down to the covers, and I feel movement under them.Wait…what?A tongue swipes through my sex, and a feeling runs through me.This is real.I’m still in the Escort auction with Roman.This man is insatiable. We had sex three times last night before we fell asleep, and now I wake up to this.I pull the covers back, and in the twinkle of the moonlight pouring through the window, I see Roman licking me up like his life depends on it.I smile with a sharp inhale, and I cup his face in my hand.His eyes hold mine, and he kisses my sex with an open mouth.“final time before the night,” he whispers.I spread my legs wider. “Please don't stop.”He licks me deeper and deeper, and with every swipe, my arousal grows.My b

    ANAWe take a shower and, with the towel, dries me carefully and then lies me on the bed. He spreads my legs again and leans down, and kisses me there. As if completely focused on his task, he gets up immediately and goes to his closet and takes out a box.He removes a bottle of lube and puts it on the bedside. My eyes widen when I see it, "You had lube with you?" I frown.“yes ,” He smirks.“Always prepared?”“yes I am.”I giggle, and the fast pace at which my heart is beating slows down a bit.This is something he's thought about. He really wants this.As his towel drops to the floor , and his large thick cock springs free, engorged, and rock hard. It hangs heavily between his legs, and he gives it a few slow strokes as he kicks his towel to the side. He lies down beside me and leans up onto his elbow, his lips take mine, and he kisses me. His eyes close, and wearing a soft smile, he has this aura of happiness around him. "This might be slow." He murmurs against my lips a

    ROMAN With every passing second, where the guests are drinking champagne and enjoying the reception. I grow more and more impatient for them to leave.“Stop scowling at everyone,” Ana whispers, where she’s sitting like a gem beside me.“How much longer?” I mutter.“We only get one time to introduce me to everyone,” she says, “try to enjoy it.”“I am, but I also want to be alone with you.”She hits my chest and smiles at Sam as she walks by the table.“You look stunning, Ana,” Sam says, not even daring to look in my direction.“Thank you,” Ana accepts the compliment like the queen she is.Chloe rushes toward us and says, “It’s time to open the dance floor.”“Dance floor?” I mutter. “No one said anything about us dancing.”“Do it for me please Roman,” Ana whispers before standing up.Unable to refuse her anything, I climb to my feet and follow her to the middle of the floor.A song starts to play, and as I take Ana into my arms, I ask, “Which song did you pick?”“ The way you lo

    ANAI got to spend some time with Roman , but tonight is the night.The other heads of the Bravta and their partners are coming over, and I’m nervous as fuck.I’ve just put on the sheer body suit and Valentino black high heels when Roman comes into my walk-in closet. His eyes land on me, and he stops dead in his tracks.“No,” he growls as he slowly starts to shake his head, his expression darkening by the second. “There is no fucking way you’re wearing that in front of the other men lest bravta men.”“Hold on before you pop a muscle,” I mutter hastily, I only have a few seconds to change his mind.I grab the leather jacket out of my closet and put it on. When I fasten the belt, and the fabric spreads out like a short skirt, I say, “See. Everything’s covered.”He stares at me for a while before he says, “Fine. But the fucking jacket stays on at all times.”I walk closer to him, and wrapping my fingers behind his neck, I pull him a down a little. Against his lips, I whisper, “I

    I let out a sigh. “You’re mine, Ana, which means I’m going to provide for you. You need an investment in case of an emergency.”“What…” she doesn’t finish her question, and her features tighten when she whispers, “You are not going to die. I thought we talked about this.” I nod because, unlike most people like to assume, I’m not indestructible.Her fingers tighten around mine, and she glances away from me.“It won’t happen easily,” I say to put her mind at ease.She sets her coffee cup down as she lowers her head. “I really hope not.”“Come here,” I order as I move my chair backwards to accommodate her.She gets up, and I pull her onto my lap. Taking hold of her face, I turn her face so she’ll look at me.“I’m not going anywhere anytime soon.”“Okay,” she whispers before wrapping her arms around my neck.I hold her tightly while it sinks in that it upsets her a lot to think of me dying.More love pours into my chest, and I press a kiss to her shoulder and another to the side

    I can barely hold on by the time he comes with a groan. He pulls me down on top of him, and his arms tight around me. he plunges into me again, his body jerking with each thrust. When he stills beneath me, we’re both breathless. I can feel his heart racing where my cheek is pressed to his chest. “Christ,” he gasps. “You might just kill me.” I let out a chuckle, and when my inner walls squeeze his cock, he lets out a sharp breath before his body shudders. I press a kiss to his racing heart, then let out a happy sigh. His hand pats my butt, then he orders, “Up before I end up fucking you the whole day.” As I climb off him, his cock slips out of me. My body jerks because I feel raw and sensitive from all the sex. I let out a chuckle. “I’m going to need time to recover.” Roman moves off the bed. “Get your sexy ass in the shower.” I move off the mattress and follow him into the shower. Once we’re both beneath the warm spray of water, Roman starts to wash my body.

    When Roman pulls out of me, I shift, and it has his eyes snapping to mine with worry in his expression.“You okay?”I nod quickly. “Yes. Just a bit sensitive.”He lies down on his back, and when I climb off the bed, his gaze follows me to the bathroom.I quickly clean myself before wetting a washcloth. When I walk back into the room and crawl onto the bed.he takes the washcloth from my hand and throws it on the floor.My eyebrows draw together, then he says “I don’t want to clean you off me yet.”His possessive voice makes the butterflies in my belly resume their fluttering.Roman pulls me closer,and when I lie down beside him, his arms wrap around me.As he buries his face in the grove of my neck.Just like earlier, I throw my leg over his and using my leg to pull and hold him tightly to my body.My fingers trail up and down his back, and I press a kiss to his temple.He lets out a heavy sigh and melts into me.I keep caressing his back, and not even minutes later, his breaths ev

    ANAThe words soak into my bones, filling me with a warmth.I’ve never experienced before. It feels safe.it feels as if I’ve finally found a place where I truly belong.I’ve found my home.“Am I the first?” he asks.I nod, not trusting my voice right now.“Good,” he sighs before he lowers his head to claim my lips.The kiss starts out slow as if Roman’s taking his time to show me how he feels,tonight feels different.But as the seconds pass, the need grows between us, and he becomes impatient.His tongue lashes at mine, and when his teeth tug at my bottom lip, his hand moves away from my face, and he suddenly ends the kiss.He crawls down my body, and taking hold of my pyjamas shorts, he tugs them off of me.I quickly remove my cami while he shoves his sweatpants down.When we’re both naked, he pushes my legs open. I still feel self-conscious, but the emotion quickly turns to surprise when Roman kisses the inside of my thigh.“Time to taste you, Moya Roza,” he groans right before

Tell me “Do you think my idea to open a free kitchen is stupid, or do you feel it is too big of a project for me to take on?”“No.” Picking me up, he carries me to the bed and lays me down on my side of the bed while continuing, “I think it’s an amazing idea. I just don’t want you working yourself to death.”“Okay.”Walking around the bed, he throws the covers back and lies down beside me. I crawl beneath the blankets and adjust them over his body before I get comfortable.He turns so we’re lying face-to-face, then says, “You are one hell of an amazing woman, Ana.”I brush my fingers over the five o’clock shadow on his jaw. “You are so amazing.”We become quiet for a moment, just staring at eac
