He continued sliding her down the bed towards
his waiting tongue.

"I'm on top today." She said firmly.

Jason nodded. He looked very serious. He
preferred to be on top himself but today he would be happy to get
it anyway he could. He was soon on his back and waiting as she
hovered over him.

"Come on Dr. Price." He said. "I'm ready and
waiting."

"I can see that, but you still haven't told
me about your father. I'm done shrinking you, done with waiting."
She gripped his massive, throbbing shaft with one hand and he
writhed in response.

"You tell me what went on with him and we can
have some fun. Keep holding out and you can have some alone time in
the shower while I go shopping."

He looked down at her semi-naked body, her
sweet pussy, denied to him for so many hours now, and felt the firm
grip of her hand on his starving cock.

"Okay." He said, lifting his eyes to hold her
gaze. "Fuck it. Here's what happened."

Suzy sat in her room in a rage. She didn't feel like
reading or watching TV; being accused of getting into Zach's bed
when he had gotten into hers and then followed her back into his
own bed was far too infuriating. She sat in her bedroom and
listened to him making calls outside. He sounded relaxed and at
ease which only served to enrage her more.

She plotted her vindication and revenge.

If he walked in his sleep again on this trip
then she was determined to get it all on film in order to prove her
point. She wasn't going anywhere so she got into her silk pajamas
and pulled them on tightly. There would be no half naked hi-jinks
tonight.

Then she settled in to wait for him to go to
bed.

Her phone buzzed with a call from Bella which
she decided to take.

"Suzy, thank God you picked up, we've all
been so worried about you. What's going on over there?"

"God, not you too. Nothing's going on over
here. What's going on over there?"

"Kyle got a call from you but you didn't say
anything. All you did was some sexy breathing and then we couldn't
get a hold of you anymore."

"Oh that? That wasn't sexy breathing, that
was exhausted, jetlagged, unconscious breathing. Tell him I'm
sorry."

"How about you tell him yourself."

"Calm down Bella, it's no big deal, I'll give
him a call."

"You tell him to his face when he gets
there."

"Gets there? Get's where?"

"Hong Kong, you crazy idiot. I couldn't stop
him. When I had no more news about you he booked the next available
flight--he'll be there in a few hours."

"Oh my God. No. That's just crazy. Tell me
you're joking, please. How the hell would he even find me
anyway?"

"I gave him the name of your hotel. I
couldn't let him go out there alone with no way to find you. Please
take care of him, will you? He's a good guy."

"He can’t come here. Zachary's security won’t
let him get anywhere near me."

"Tell them he's harmless, warn them he's
coming. Suzy, he's doing this for you--you can't let him get
hurt."

"Of course not, no way. I'll do that. God, I
can't believe this is happening."

"Is Melissa there?"

"How do you know about Melissa?"

"When I didn’t hear from you and you didn't
answer calls I had to let her know--"

"That was your fault?"

"Don't say it like that Suzy, we thought
Zachary had you tied up or chopped up or worse."

"What's worse than chopped up?"

"What's he done to you?"

"Nothing. I just fell asleep after I called
Kyle obviously, then I ended up in Zachary's bed and that's when
Melissa and Jason burst in through the door. I was half naked and
he was half, well, half embarrassed--"

"Half embarrassed? What does that mean?"

"Half embarrassed, half excited."

"You mean he had a boner? For you?"

"It wasn't like that. Or, shit, I don't know,
I guess it was."

"What the hell have you been doing in the
last twenty-four hours girl? God I want some of this too whatever
it is."

Bella never failed her. No matter what, her
silly sense of humor always lightened the mood. It would be fun to
spend a night in with her when this was all over and tell her all
the silly, unbelievable details.

"It's been pretty wild actually. I'll tell
you all about it when I get back, but I gotta go--I have to warn
security about Kyle, we'll talk soon."

She cut the call and stepped out of her
bedroom. Zachary was sitting on the sofa looking very forlorn,
alone even contrite. He was dressed down, quite casual, and
definitely a little ruffled.

He looked good enough to eat, just like he
always did.

On the table in front of him were a bouquet
of flowers and a small, velvet covered box.

"What's going on?" She said.

He looked up at her.

"Suzy. Look, I'm not very good at this but I
just want to say that I'm truly sorry about everything that's
happened. I would truly like to start over again, from the very
first day, back in your apartment when I mistook you for the nurse.
I've been a total ass since then."

Suzy was taken aback. Was this for real?

"These flowers--they're for you."

She put out her hand. No man had given her
flowers since Jason had brought her a massive bouquet to welcome
her out of hospital.

"And this." He picked up the little box from
the table and handed it to her.

"What's this?" She was mystified.

"It's nothing, just a thought. I hope he
likes it."

"He?" She opened the box and there was a
tiny, ornate, studded collar, just right for a ferret. The name
Harry was inscribed on it.

"Oh my God." She said. "He will so love it.
That is so cute."

"So, maybe we can start again?"

Suzy had to take a breath to steady herself.
Maybe this whole crazy thing could work out and maybe Catherine was
right after all; maybe she
was
the one for Zachary
Demovic.

"I've ordered Chinese food." He said. "It
might not be as good as your local take-out place in Queens but we
are in Hong Kong so hopefully it won’t be that bad."

He led her over to the dining area where
everything was laid out, drew her chair out for her and allowed her
to settle herself before pouring chilled champagne. When the flutes
were filled he held up his to hers.

"To new beginnings." He said.

"To new beginnings." she answered.

There was a knock on the door.

"That must be our takeout." He said. "I'll
get it, you stay there."

Zachary opened the door and smiled but the
man waiting for him was stony faced, bedraggled and definitely not
Asian.

"Are you Zachary Demovic?" He said, looking
slightly crazed.

Suzy recognized the voice and raised her head
in shock. She had forgotten all about Kyle.

"I'm Zach. Who the hell are you?"

"I'm her goddamn boyfriend!"

Zachary saw the punch coming but allowed it
to connect lightly with his jaw anyway. He tumbled dramatically to
the floor and then in an instant his security guards were dragging
the crazed delivery truck Romeo away.

Suzy's champagne flute slipped from her hand
and hit the ground.

"Kyle, what are you doing? Stop this! Let him
go."

"Get him out of here." Zach ordered from the
floor.

"Suzy, I flew all the way here for you. Come
on, tell this guy to go to hell and let's get out of here."

"Kyle, I… I hardly know you… I didn't ask you
to come here…"

The security guards dragged him protesting
down the hallway as Suzy looked on, at a loss as to what to do.

Zachary picked himself up from the floor and
massaged his jaw.

"Who the hell was that little punk?"

"Oh my God Zachary, I am so, so sorry. I
forgot all about him. That's what I came out to warn you about.
He's the guy I asked to be my boyfriend, I had no idea he was so
crazy."

"You put him up to this?"

"No. Not at all. I knew he was coming here
but--"

"You knew he was coming but you didn't tell
me?"

"How could I? I just found out and then you
were so, so charming, talking about a new beginning and with the
gift for Harry… can't we just go back, like you said, go back to
the start again." She went to him to touch his jaw, make sure he
was okay but he held her back.

"Unfortunately Suzy, this changes things. The
start is a little further back now than it was ten minutes ago.
I've got to deal with your so-called boyfriend first. I have no
doubt the Hong Kong authorities will be here shortly to take a
statement. I'm not sure what the procedure here is, but I presume
they'll take him into custody right away--"

"Take him into custody? You can't let them do
that?"

"Why wouldn't I? He's dangerous. He could
have killed me with a sucker punch like that."

"He was just worried about me. You can't
punish him for that? What if he has to spend time in jail
here?"

"He should have thought of that before he
gave me the right hook."

"You wouldn't be so heartless."

"Try me."

"Please Zach, I'm responsible for him being
here. Can't we talk about this? He's a sweet guy, he doesn’t
deserve this."

He rubbed his jaw again and looked at her
with his dark, unreadable eyes.

"Well, you know me Suzy, I believe every
problem has a solution and I'm always open to negotiation. Just how
badly to you want your friend Kyle out of jail tonight?"

He looked at her knowingly. Was his plan
coming together? Carrot and stick, charm and fear. Suzy wasn't an
ordinary girl, he was having to be more creative than usual here
and there was still no guaranteed outcome. Sure he had planned for
Kyle to be delivered to his hotel room but the sucker punch at the
end had been unplanned. Luckily, he couldn't have planned a better
outcome if he had tried; he had leverage now and he would use it to
his full advantage.

"Whatever it is you're thinking," Suzy said,
"I don't want it that much." She turned on her heel and strode back
into her room.

He watched her go just as the buffet of
famous crispy goose and assorted dim sum delicacies arrived at the
door.

"Shit." he said. "Here's money." He took out
a wad to tip the hotel staff and waved at the delicious piping hot
food.

"Take it all away."

*******************

It was about 3am when Suzy's alarm went off.
She had the volume set low and her phone set to wake her up every
hour on the hour. If Zachary was going to sleep walk again and wave
his ridiculous, enormous boner around then she was going to capture
the whole thing on film and let him see what the truth was. That
would shut him up and give
her
all the leverage she needed
to have Kyle released without having to submit to any perverted
demands from her control freak boss. She had tried calling Kyle
several times but it had always gone through to voicemail and by
now she was worried sick about him. It made her more determined
than ever.

She looked over to her wide open doorway and
gasped to see him there.

Game on.

This was happening.

The full moon was complete tonight and she
had left her curtains open to get as much light in as possible. She
also had her bedside lamp on.

Zachary was fully naked. Gorgeous, god-like.
In the spectral moonlight he looked like a supernatural being. In
spite of herself she was in awe.

But she had to focus. She had a mission.

"Don't worry Kyle, I'm coming for you." She
whispered.

She jabbed her phone to begin filming and
whispered her commentary at the same time.

"This is you walking buck naked into
my
bedroom at 3am." She hissed into the phone.

He walked over to the bed and sat down next
her.

"Just look at yourself." She said.

"I've got to admit it." He started rumbling
in his deep, dreamy, sleep voice. "You really have got to me
Suzy."

She gulped. She needed to film this but she
didn’t want to go overboard and embarrass him too much, or even
worse, make him even more angry. She had gotten a glimpse into how
fragile his ego could be when she had criticized that stupid
sandwich he made and Melissa had described him as a man with
serious issues. Her big sister was rarely if ever wrong about those
things.

"I underestimated you from the start," he was
saying, "thinking I could just fuck you and get away with it. But
you've outsmarted me at every turn and now I want you so bad I
can't even admit it to myself."

Feelings of guilt began to well up in
her.

"I'm… I'm sorry about this Zach," she said,
"but you need to see what goes on when your asleep, that's
all."

"I can't help myself when you're around." He
continued. "It's something I can see in your eyes, something in
your smile and then when you take me on, tussle with me, fight me
back and turn the tables, god I fucking want you--in my life and in
my bed."

Suzy was trembling but she didn’t stop
recording. Was she making another huge mistake? Yet another one?
Didn't she have enough footage already? What good would it do to so
deeply embarrass this man? And yet his words were making her heart
race. He wouldn't even know he had said those words in the morning,
he would deny it ever happened, accuse her of lying or madness or
wanting to manipulate him.

No.

She had to keep recording.

"I'm so, so sorry Zach." She whispered
again.

"If I can't have you then you better just go
away. Far away." He reached out to her in the moonlight and his
hand rested on her thigh. She didn't move, couldn't move. His touch
had set her on fire.

"I've never wanted a woman the way I want
you." He said huskily and then turned to her, hovering over her for
a moment as though drinking her in before lowering his lips to her
neck. She threw her head back and exulted in his eager touch, the
hot desire of his breath on her naked flesh.
