“I don’t go out enough to be propositioned.”

“Let’s go back to bed.”

I let him lead me back to the bedroom. When we were tucked in, and I was cuddled against him with my head on his chest, Austin asked me a question. “I’ve been wondering something.”

“What’s that?”

“Why were you so receptive to me if this is how you are?”

I snuggled against him. “I was on vacation.”

“That’s your excuse?”

“Well, I was. Haven’t you ever had a one-night stand before?”

“That’s how you saw me?”

I kissed his bare chest. “I liked you. You were fun and persistent without being a pig.”

Austin ran his fingers along my spine, sending chills through me. “I wanted you in the worst way.”

“Then why didn’t we have sex sooner? We kissed, and I was burning for you to fuck me.”

“I didn’t want to scare you away. It was love at first sight for me. I know that sounds silly, but it was.”

“It doesn’t sound silly. I liked you.”

“I thought you did. I wanted to play my cards right, so maybe we could be together when we got back. You know how happy I was to find out you were from Los Angeles? What are the odds?”

“And here you were all the time, but we had to go thousands of miles away to meet each other.”

“Sometimes it’s fate. The right place at the right time.”

I lifted my head and pushed my lips against his, holding them there until his tongue pushed them open. Austin licked around their perimeter and probed my mouth. I moved my body onto his so that I was straddling his waist as I fisted his thick hair. He moaned, and I could feel the effects our kissing was having on him. It was affecting me too as my core flooded with desire. I pressed my pussy over his erection, and he gasped into my mouth.

“Little tease.”

“I’m only a tease if I don’t carry it through. I have every intention.”

“Are you sure?”

“Why?”

“You had a bad experience. I don’t want to compound is.”

“An experience with you will wash it from my mind. I need you.”

After we made love, I snuggled into Austin’s embrace. His love and the way he touched me made everything better. I was a person who enjoyed my solitude, but now I wanted to share my time with him. I didn’t want this to end. With each passing moment, I wanted to tell him I loved him. I heard his even breathing before I fell asleep, and I said the words.

“I love you, Austin Doyle. I love you so much.”

The next morning, I woke up full of dread. I would have to tell Hassan what JJ Wentworth said and did to me. During the meal, we discussed the terms of the purchase of Sunny Sky Studios. Some of the staff would be retained, including JJ Wentworth. They were terms I couldn’t live with, and he had to go even if I would be his boss.

Austin was in the shower, and I turned on my back to look at the ceiling. He came out a few minutes later, a light blue towel hanging low on his waist. I turned onto my side and licked my lips.

“Don’t give me that look,” he said.

I chuckled. “What look?”
