He took a few minutes to soap a warm washcloth for Cyn and traipsed back into the room. She was just as he left her. Lying limply in the bed with a tiny smile on her face.

He brushed the damp cloth against her skin, cleansing away all evidence of their loving from her body. After he was done, he returned the cloth to the bathroom. He went back into the bedroom and climbed in bed beside her.

Content, he gazed at her once more, taking in everything. She was an ebony goddess.

Her supple brown skin was an exotic contrast next to his paler skin. She was lovelier than words alone could express. And she was also falling asleep.

“Wait,” he whispered softly to her. “Don’t drift off on me just yet.”

“Why?” Opening an eye she peered at him warily. “If you’re thinking of round two already, you’re going to have to give a sista a minute. I need to recoup.”

“How about you recoup at my place? Come home with me.”

“Your townhouse?”

“No. Hollywood. Actually Bel Air to be exact.”

She snickered, a sound so enduring it brought a smile to his face.

“What?”

“You’re the prince of Bel Air.”

“And I haven’t heard that one before,” he replied in a dry tone.

She closed her eyes again and gave a fake yawn. “That’s a long drive.”

He could tell she was trying to dismiss him, but it wasn’t going to work. Not now.

Not ever. “Not to the airport. I have a private plane waiting on standby.”

That got her attention. Her eyes popped open once more and she stared at him, shock written clearly on her face. “You didn’t drive up here?”

“No.”

“What about your car?”

“I leave it here at my place for when I’m in town.”

“You leave a Boxster Porsche just sitting around?”

He wouldn’t say just sitting. It was parked in a secured, maintained garage. He doubted that was the point though. “Yes.”

“That must be nice.”

“It has its moments.” Even though he could tell his wealth bothered her, he wasn’t going to downplay his finances just to give her a false sense of comfort. This was who he was. Good. Bad. Indifferent. And if she was going to be part of his life, she needed to get used to it, because God willing, his money wasn’t going anywhere. “So what do you say?”

“Can I think about it?”

“Sure.” Parker eased from the bed and reached for his boxers. “You have five minutes.”

Cyn sat straight up. “Five minutes!”

“That’s right.”

“I can’t make a decision like that so quickly.”

“Fine, let me make it for you.” Parker pulled on his pants but left them unbuttoned.

“You want to. I want you to. What’s the problem?”

“I have a job.”

“You have two days off. You said so yourself.”

“I have responsibilities.”

“To yourself. Come with me. Let me show you my…palace,” he added with a wink.

“Why are you so hell bent on getting me to say yes in such a hurry?”

“Because I’m going to make love to you again tonight. And again in the morning, and in the afternoon, and so on and so on, but I refuse to do so quietly. I want your www.samhainpublishing.com 65

release to echo in my ears and stay with me forever. We can’t do that here. So for the last time, Cyn, come with me. I’ll make it worth your while.”

She bit her lip nervously and glanced from him to the door. Her indecision was as evident as her desire. He could only hope the latter won out. “I need to be back no later than Tuesday afternoon.”

“That I can do.” Standing, he held his hand out to her in a grand gesture. “Come, princess, your pumpkin awaits.”

The city lights overpowered the sky, allowing only a few faint stars to illuminate the dark night. Thankfully, the pool and spa were equipped with their own ambient lighting that switched on the moment she opened the door.

After undressing, she laid her clothes on the lounge chair next to the pool. She switched on the spa with the remote control from the table before making her way over to the hot tub. She’d been eying that bad boy since the first day she’d come to Parker’s house, but this was the first time she’d an opportunity to use it. In fact, this was the last chance she would have to use it before returning home tomorrow and she wanted to enjoy the moment to this fullest.

Cyn moaned in appreciation as she sank into the bubbling water. Her eyes closed briefly as she reveled in the luxurious moment, but quickly reopened. She didn’t want to miss a minute of this. This was paradise. The only way it could possibly be better was if Parker was able to join her, but he had some last minute business to take care of, leaving her to herself for the first time that weekend.

It was okay though because she was in nirvana. Enjoying life the way it was meant to be enjoyed, completely worry and stress free. The shop was the farthest thing from her mind. She was too busy concentrating on Parker and the overwhelming, mind-numbing feeling she was falling in love with him.

It was probably a big mistake. She’d only known him for a short time, yet he felt as if he was a part of her soul. When this little fairy tale was over, as she expected it soon to be, she would have to pick up the many pieces of her shattered heart. But until that day came, she was going to enjoy every second she had with him, as if it was her last. Prince Charming only came around once in a girl’s lifetime.

“There you are.”

Parker’s voice startled her and woke her from her daydream. Turning her head, she spotted him standing in the doorway and smiled. “Done with work already?”

“Mostly.” He began to undress, but unlike her, he dropped his clothes carelessly on the ground. A sure sign of a man used to others picking up after him.

“Slob,” she teased, something she’d been doing a lot of this weekend. His lifestyle was so lavish, so gaudy, so unlike anything she’d ever seen before, yet he still had an air of humility about him that made it all seem so surreal. He had money, but he wasn’t all about money.

“I wasn’t going to leave them there.”

“Sure you weren’t.” To her amusement he did pick it up, but then dropped them just as carelessly on the chair. She was sure his pants alone cost more than her entire wardrobe, yet it didn’t seem to faze him that they lay in a wrinkled pile next to her faded jeans.

“Why so quiet?” He stepped into the spa, hissing as the hot water scalded him. “So much for having children.”

“I’m sure your swimmers can stand a little heat.”

“I hope so.” He eased onto a seat across from her and leaned back against the backrest. “How did I know you would be out here?”

“Because it’s the only place in your palace I can find without a map.” To say his house was big would be the understatement of the year. It was three stories high with the pool and spa on the top floor, along with an elevator.
An elevator.
She’d seen apartment complexes that were smaller.

“It’s not a palace,” he argued.

“Mausoleum?” she teasingly shot back.

He grimaced slightly. “Definitely not that.”

“Mansion?”

“I prefer home.”

She almost laughed at the pained expression on his face. “I had to stop and ask for directions to the bathroom.”

“You did not.” Parker reached out and pulled her from her seat and onto his lap.

“You do realize your nose grows when you lie, don’t you?”

Something was growing under the water, and it had nothing to do with a lie.

Wiggling her hips, Cyn brushed her mound against his rising cock. “You’re like a sixteen-year-old boy.”

“How so?”

“You’re constantly hard.”

“You say that as if it’s a bad thing,” he teased. He pulled back her shoulders so she was leaning away from him, and bent forward and took her nipple in his mouth. He alternated between teasing nibbles and long licks, keeping her on the edge of reason with his sweet torture. There was no doubt about it. He was trying to drive her insane with pleasure.

“Oh no.” She gripped his hair in her hands and pulled him away from her breasts.

“Just merely pointing out the obvious. It’s probably a good thing I’m going home tomorrow.”

“Why?” He grasped her hips in his hands and worked her back and forth over his shaft. The movements played havoc with her body. Her clit was pulsing and her pussy drenched from desire.

“Because my pussy needs a break.”

“But you’re not home yet, so no break for you.” Parker slid his hand between them and ran his fingers across her clit. “This pussy belongs to me for twelve more hours.”

“Then you better use it wisely.” She rose to her knees and grasped his cock in her hand, lining him up to her opening.

“Oh, I plan to.” He pulled her down as he pushed his hips up, plunging his shaft deep within her.

Their moans came out as one, both of them groaning in unison from the pleasure of their joining. He filled her as no other had before and stretched her flesh to accommodate his cock. Her tender pussy was a bit sore from the constant action it had received for the last few days, but she refused to halt their loving.

She wanted him. Even if she was forced to walk bowlegged for the rest of the week, Cyn was going to ride him as if he wore a saddle.

“I don’t know what’s hotter, baby,” he groaned, rocking into her. “Your pussy or this spa, but I know for sure which one I like best.”

“The spa right?” She began to move on top of him, slowly sinking on his throbbing cock then rising once more. It was an erotic tango of moves and dips, which had them both panting for more.

“Oh, yeah…” He groaned, digging his nails into her hips. “Definitely the spa…fuck…hmmm.”

Biting her lip to stifle her moan, she gripped his shoulders and used him for support as she rode him. Taking him over and over into her warm center. He reached up, filling his palms with her breasts again, stroking and teasing her. The warm night and hot water was no match for the heat building between the two of them. Their breaths quickened with every plunge, becoming as gritty and raw as the city itself.

The water, already wild from the jets, splashed about them even higher, thanks to the tidal wave they created with their thrusts. Not one to give up control, Parker held on to her hips, controlling her movements. When she tried to speed up, he’d slow her down, letting her know in a no uncertain terms, who was in charge. “In a rush?”

“To come, yes.”

“When I say so.”

“Bastard.” She whimpered, unable to do anything but concede to his command.

“Tell me you don’t love it and I’ll stop.” He thrust his hips upward as he pulled her down on him, causing her to groan in ecstasy.

“You’re evil,” she gasped as he drove the breath from her body.

“I know.” He began to rock her faster and harder. Cyn dug her fingernails in his shoulders.

“Oh, oh, oh,” she moaned. Her head was spinning. Her vision clouded over as her body surrender to the pleasure overtaking it. “Parker…yes…oh…”

“Fuck, baby. Hold on.” Parker quickly stood and moved them until her back was against the wall of the spa.

He gripped her to him tightly and tilted her hips as he powered into her fiercely. Cyn wrapped her legs around his hips and held on to him for all she was worth.

“Oh, oh, oh.” Her gasps were barely audible over the roar of the jets, but it didn’t stop her from making them. Nor did it stop her from coming. Throwing her head back, she let the sensations of him powering into her come crashing down, driving her over the edge into orgasmic bliss.

“That’s right. Come for me.”

Instead of immediately finding his own release he continued to drive his cock into her, pulling her back to the brink once again. Her second climax, although not as powerful, ripped through her.

Just as she thought he would never come, he pushed at her thighs and pulled out of her pussy. Gripping his cock, he fisted his shaft a few times, spilling his milky seed into the hot water.

“Fuck,” he groaned, trembling above her. “Too good. Too fucking good.”

He was right. It was.

“If you look at your phone one more time, I’m going to throw it to the ground and run it over with the golf cart.”

Parker glanced up from his iPhone and over to his mother, Olivia Maguire. Despite her warning, the petite blonde never wavered from her putting stance.

“I’m expecting a call.”

“We’re in the middle of a game.”

“We’re not even on the green yet,” he felt compelled to remind her. “We have to wait until Dad gets here to tee off.”

“That’s beside the point.” Her piercing blue eyes bore straight into him and for a second he was transported back to childhood. But as quickly as her maternal powers www.samhainpublishing.com 71

appeared they disappeared. Not even on her worst day had Olivia been much of a disciplinarian.

“Uh huh.”

“Parker, you know the rules. No business today. It’s family time.” When Olivia noticed her stern expression hadn’t gotten her the results she craved, she tilted her head to the side and smiled, trying charm instead.

It was a move that had worked for the beauty countless times in the past. Olivia was a stunning woman. She always had been. And unlike other women her age, her classic good looks hadn’t withered with time. She’d been a television icon in the seventies. And thanks to Nick at Nite and nostalgia, her popularity was coming back strong.

But Parker was her son, not a fan and he wasn’t easily swayed. It was almost a week since he’d heard from Cyn and he was not pleased. He thought they’d had a great time this weekend, so her disappearing act made no sense whatsoever. He’d left over thirty messages on her cell phone and twice as many with one of her roommates, all to no avail.
