Curled up in her bed, she stared down at the magazine she held. She was pretty sure she’d found the one.

Layla had snagged Sawyer Blake’s résumé as soon as it had come in a few days ago, and she’d tucked it away while she did her due diligence. A list of references were all well and good, but nothing beat seeing the model on the job. Online searches were first, followed up by an exhaustive investigation into his body of work.

He had a lot of work to investigate too. By the time she’d finished, she’d become intimately acquainted with every part of Sawyer revealed by his photos, including the starfish-shaped tattoo of freckles on his upper left hip.

And what a hip it was.

As an agent trainee with Hot Shots, Brooklyn, New York’s erotic hub for talent in the tri-state area, she spent a lot of time trolling for hot men. Hot women too. Anyone she believed might crank the gears of her clients and, in turn, their viewership. Hot Shots provided talent for a variety of different jobs, everything from sensual book covers to adult movies. As a junior agent still building her list, she kept her eyes on both the e-mail inbox at Hot Shots and on the magazines and look books that crossed her desk, always searching for their next big star. Her intuition told her it would be Sawyer, assuming he didn’t bail when they asked him to strip.

He didn’t do risqué jobs. In fact, the closest he’d come to baring all were a couple of underwear-modeling shoots. Still, his photos demonstrated his potential. He had a generous mouth, the kind more prone to smile than frown. His golden hair slid into eyes that were the cerulean blue of a perfect summer sky. As for the rest of him…all hard lines, rippling muscles, and smooth, tanned skin.

They’d talked on the phone, and they’d set up an appointment to meet tomorrow. Now she couldn’t get him off her mind. His voice. His body. His cock, one of the few parts of him she’d yet to see.

Right or wrong, he was going to make her come tonight.

She set aside the magazine with its pictures of Sawyer’s sulky stare and withdrew her vibrator from her nightstand drawer.

Guiltily, she glanced over her shoulder at her sleeping fiancé. Nothing ever woke him from his peaceful slumber. Not the buzz from a sex toy nor the moans she fought to suppress.

Aidan’s dark hair waved back from a face almost as striking as Sawyer’s. Cleft chin, slashing nose, strong cheekbones. His eyes were green, his mouth rarely given to an impulsive grin as Sawyer’s seemed to be. For four years, he’d been her sunrise and sunset, her own happy ending packaged with the glittering diamond on her left hand and the words of love he never failed to offer her when they curled up in bed.

And it had been over a month since they’d had sex.

Longer if she didn’t count the furtive handjob she’d given him in the movie theater during an action-movie double feature or the night she’d sucked him off as he’d discussed an assignment with one of his college students over the phone. He’d barely even groaned while he shot his release down her throat.

If she hadn’t been so used to their extremely active sex life, maybe she wouldn’t have noticed the change since they’d left Nebraska. Maybe she wouldn’t have quietly accepted the sex toys he bought for her on an increasingly regular basis, as if he couldn’t resist visiting the shops in Times Square when he ventured into the city. Even though he rarely seemed behooved to join her when she used them.

It was his latest acquisition, a long curved dildo with a rabbit attachment, that got her off while her fiancé slept at her side.

And it was that purple dildo that had roused her from her dream of Sawyer—and his deliciously cut body—when Aidan slipped it inside her in the middle of the night.

She hadn’t been fully asleep. Aidan often commented she dozed like a cat, eyelids twitching as if she’d spring awake at any time. She’d been on her stomach, face smushed into the pillow, when he shifted beside her, pinning her down with his weight while her exhausted mind tried to decipher what was happening.

She didn’t fight him when he spread her thighs and probed her still-damp slit with the toy. Barely even flinched when he pushed inside and commanded her body. She liked it rough, always had, and right then she was content to straddle the middle ground between sleep and wakefulness if it meant she’d get another orgasm out of the deal.

Aidan’s breath heated her ear, and his stubbled jaw branded her cheek. “You made yourself come thinking about him, didn’t you?”

Reflexively, she squeezed the dildo lodged inside her. A soft whimper escaped her throat when he yanked it back.

“None of that. If you want to come again, answer me.”

Her mind replayed his question, but somehow it still didn’t seem real. Was this really happening? Had Aidan really awakened early just to taunt her about masturbating in bed, something he knew she now did fairly often?

And how did he know there was a
him?
How did he know about Sawyer?

“Jus’ a picture,” she mumbled, every fiber of her being centered on his arousing weight and the toy that hovered just beyond the grip of her pussy. Its cool pressure tormented her, sliding up against her flesh like the ultimate tease. If he flicked it on, she’d combust before he even got it back inside her. She was that wet, that ready.

That desperate.

“Aidan,” she whispered. “You know I want you. It’s been so long.” She hated the plea in her voice. Hated more that she could tell from the grind of his erection against her hip that he liked making her beg. “You know you’re the only one for me.”

“I didn’t ask that.” Even aroused, his perfect diction never suffered. She wanted to make his control splinter the way he did so easily with her, but lately she couldn’t figure out the right key to turn. “I asked if you were fantasizing about him when you pushed this inside you”—he rotated the dildo against her, so gently that she wriggled for more—“and made yourself come.”

Her cheeks heated. Who could blame her? Tired and sex-deprived equaled a little too horny. And yeah, maybe her job of selecting the hottest men willing to bare their assets didn’t help with her overactive libido. But she was marrying Aidan, and she loved him. She would never cheat.
Never.

Everyone fantasized. Every woman imagined someone other than their man now and then. What was the harm? And what was the harm in admitting it?

“Yes.” She bucked her hips, and he drove the dildo inside her, one pathetic inch. A paltry consolation prize. “Yes, I was fantasizing about him.”

“What was he doing to you?”

“God, Aidan.” She pressed her face into her folded arms. “Just—”

He slapped her ass, hard enough to make her whimper again. She got off on that too. He knew her damn triggers, and now he was using them against her. “Answer me.”

“Fucking me. From behind. Like you are now, but it wasn’t a toy; it was him. His cock moving inside me, deep and hard.” She bit her arm when he gave her more of the dildo, enough to make her squirm and moan. “God, yes.”

He was breathing harder, proof positive her monologue had affected him. At least something had. “Have you seen his cock?”

“No.”

“Are you going to?”

“
What
?”

“Is he one of your clients, Layla?”

“No, not yet. I called him.” She squeezed her eyes shut. “We have a meeting tomorrow.”

“I saw you looking at him in that magazine last night too. Did you make yourself come then as well? Did you pretend it was his fingers in your pussy when you pushed them in deep?”

Tonight had been the first night she’d fantasized about anyone since she’d been engaged to Aidan. If she hadn’t been so tired, so needy, if she hadn’t spent so long looking at Sawyer’s pictures and remembering how sexy he’d sounded on the phone…

Maybe she wouldn’t have touched herself with him on her mind. But God, that voice. Anyone else wouldn’t have heard the sounds of home in it, but she did. She missed Nebraska so much. Knowing they came from the same place drew her too, as much as his innocuous blue eyes and devilish smile.

“Yes,” she murmured, moaning when Aidan slid the vibrator inside.

He’d wanted her to agree, and she wanted the toy. Something to fill her, to take away the ache that never left anymore. Most of all, she wanted Aidan.

“Do you want him in our bed? His dick inside you instead of this?” He flicked it on, and she jolted, digging her nails into the pillows. She rocked back and forth, her pussy clutching hungrily while her nipples skewered the bed beneath her. So close. She wanted to tell him to fuck her harder, to make her come, but the words weren’t there. She had no breath left. Just blinding need.

“God, yes,” she gasped, barely cognizant of what she’d agreed to until the orgasm hit her and she was left shaking in its aftermath, her body quivering and her mind in chaos.

“That’s my Lala,” Aidan said, using her nickname. His sister thought it sounded like a baby’s nonsense word, but she loved the way it rolled off his tongue. He tossed aside the toy, and it clattered onto the floor while he smoothed kisses up the line of her back. “So eager to do whatever it takes to feel good.”

She didn’t speak. Still quaking, she turned her head to look at him in the darkness. Surely it had been sex talk. Excitement goading him on, maybe, though he’d made no move to slide inside her and take some relief himself. No, she’d probably catch him in the shower rubbing one out as she had several times recently. Why that was better than being with her, she didn’t know.

Didn’t want to know.

“You weren’t serious. You can’t want another guy in our bed.”

“I asked if you wanted him. You said yes.”

“I wasn’t in my right mind.” His chuckle made her press her lips together. “You hoped I’d say yes,” she said, shocked it could be true.

They’d done a lot over the years. From mild experimentation with toys and bondage to more serious power games. From spanking to sense deprivation. He’d blazed the path in bed for them to follow, and follow she had. She trusted Aidan implicitly. But this…

Even in the semidarkness, she saw him smile as he ran his fingers lightly up and down her spine. She shuddered, and his smile grew before flicking out like someone shutting off a light. “It’s not time to get up yet.” He brushed a gentle kiss over her forehead. “Get some sleep.”

Yeah, right. As if she could. But Aidan didn’t suffer the same problem. Within moments, his breathing slowed.

She turned to face the window and rubbed her sore ass. One slap from him, and she hurt. He had amazing hands, patient sometimes, demanding and ruthless at others. Right now, she’d give anything to feel them on her skin.

When it became obvious sleep wouldn’t come, Layla crawled out of bed and went downstairs for a drink. Though she’d planned on grabbing a glass of water, she went straight to the bottle of chardonnay. She rarely drank, but tonight she needed to.

Something was wrong with her fiancé.

What, she had no clue. She’d ascribed a lot to the pressures he’d faced as a trauma surgeon, part of why she’d agreed to move to New York from Nebraska when Aidan had first broached the suggestion six months ago. It had been so easy to convince herself their life in their hometown had gotten staid, not their relationship. Never that. Besides, only their sex life was suffering. Everything else seemed fine. Mostly.
