“Get in touch with our private investigator and call Finn, Muir, & Abernathy. We’re going to need a lawyer to calm these creditors down. Don’t mention any more of this tonight. I don’t want to ruin Coco’s birthday. We’ll discuss this Monday morning when we’re all back in the office.”
“Will do. I’ll go make a few phone calls now.”
An anger started to roar throughout my body like a wild beast. I flagged down the bartender and ordered a double scotch. As soon as he set it down, I threw it back as fast as I could.
“Everything okay?” Lorelei asked as she walked up to me.
“Yeah. Everything’s fine. Are you enjoying yourself?”
“Yes, I am. It’s a great party.”
Feeling the way I was, I couldn’t stand not touching her. It became an obsession and not only did I desperately want her, I needed her. I grabbed her hand without saying a word and led her to a private room down a hallway.
“Where are we going?” she asked as I pulled her behind me.
“You’ll see.”
I opened the door and we stepped inside.
“Why are we in here?” she asked nervously.
“I just needed to get away from everyone for a while. I thought maybe we could talk in here in private.”
“About what?”
“I don’t know. Whatever you want to.” I sighed as I paced around the room. “Listen, Lorelei, I’m going to be completely honest with you. I hate games and I don’t play them. I am extremely attracted to you and you have no idea how badly I want to kiss you right now.”
“Oh,” she said.
“Oh? Is that all you’re going to say?”
Chapter Sixteen
Lorelei
As I stood there nervously, I didn’t know what to think. Okay, I lied. I was beyond happy that Jack was interested in me. I was attracted to him just as much as he was attracted to me. No matter how hard I tried to fight it, it was a losing battle. Every day I saw him, the attraction grew stronger. I kept hearing my mother’s voice inside my head. “Tonight, you’re not a mother. Go be that young girl who always liked to have a good time.”
I walked over to where he was standing. His eyes were pleading and had a look of distress. It was a look I hadn’t seen since I’d met him. Courage found its way to me as I wrapped my arms around his neck and softly brushed my lips against his, a move that would ultimately lead to a bad ending.
He placed his hand on my cheek as our eyes locked intently on each other. Tilting his head and lowering it, his lips gently met mine. He was unsure. I could tell. But I started it and he was going to damn well finish it. Our soft and gentle kiss turned into a passionate one before too long. His hand wrapped around the nape of my neck as he pulled me closer. His lips were soft and warm, the type that sent the most exhilarating sensation between my legs. It was done. The line had been crossed and there was no going back.

Kissing her was everything I dreamed it would be. The way our lips moved together in sync and the way our tongues tangled against each other overwhelmed me. I’d kissed a million women in my lifetime, but kissing Lorelei was different. My cock immediately rose to the occasion without hesitation. I needed to be inside her. I needed to feel her naked body against mine. I was willing to forsake everything for this one night. One night with her was all I needed. But not yet. Not now. Not here.
I broke our kiss and placed my palm on her cheek. With a smile, I spoke, “We better get back out there before someone notices we’re missing.”
“Good idea.” She gently smiled.
“You go first so no one suspects anything. I’ll be out in a few minutes.”
“Okay.” She nodded her head and, as she was about to walk away, I grabbed her hand. She turned around and looked at me. Our eyes stared into each other’s and no words were needed. I let go of her hand and she left.
I took in a sharp breath and waited for my cock to go down. I felt winded. If she made me feel like this with one kiss, I couldn’t wait to find out how she made me feel while I was buried deep inside her. I walked out of the room and saw Garrett at the end of the hall. He looked at me with concern.
“What were you doing in there?” he asked.
“I just had to get away from everyone and collect my thoughts after what you told me.”
“I called Ron Lee, the private investigator. He’s going to start on this right away and find that son of a bitch.”
“Good. And what about Finn, Muir, & Abernathy?”
“I called Tim and he’s putting us in touch with Avery Lewis, an associate there.”
“Why the fuck isn’t one of the partners handling it?”
“He said if anyone could get the job done, it’s her.”
I sighed. “He better be right.”
We walked to the bar together just as the staff brought out Coco’s birthday cake and everyone gathered around and sang “Happy Birthday.” I looked across the room at Lorelei as her smile shined brighter than the twenty-nine birthday candles that lit up the cake. Once the candles were blown out and everyone clapped, I walked over to Lorelei and handed her a drink.
“I figured you could probably use one more.”
“Are you trying to get me drunk, Mr. Sutton?” The corners of her mouth curved upwards.
“Of course not. Why would I do such a thing?” I winked.

Lorelei
Liquid courage. It was what I needed after that intense kiss we shared. He took my breath away and left my body craving more. A craving that I hadn’t felt in so long; if ever, to be honest. There was something about Jack Sutton that mesmerized me. He was the magnetic field and I was the electrical charge that was drawn to him.
“I think I need some fresh air,” I spoke.
“Are you feeling okay?” he asked.
“Yes. It’s just a little warm in here.”
I began to walk out of the club and Jack followed behind. Once the doors opened and I stepped out into the cool air, I felt like I could breathe again.
“Better?”
“Yes. Much better.” I smiled. “You don’t have to stay out here. Go back inside and enjoy the party.”
“Nah. I’m good. How about if I call Tony to pull the car around and we go back to my place for a drink?”
“I’m not sure that’s a good idea, Jack. I think I’m just going to catch a cab and head home. It’s getting late.”
He placed his hands in his pockets and looked down at the ground. “Yeah. Maybe you’re right. But please let me take you home. I think I’ll head home myself.”
“Are you sure? I don’t mind taking a cab.”
He looked at me with a small smile. “I’m positive.” He pulled his phone from his pocket and called Tony to bring the car around. After slipping his phone back in his pocket, he took off his suitcoat and wrapped it around my shoulders.
“You look like you’re cold,” he spoke with his hands clasped around my arms.
“Thank you.” I brought my hand up to his and, instantly, my body heated.
He felt it too as he took in a sharp breath. A few moments later, Tony pulled up and Jack opened the door for me. After climbing inside, he shut the door, walked around to the other side, and slid in next to me.
“I think we should talk about what happened earlier,” I spoke as I looked at him.
“Okay. If you would like.” He swept his hand over my cheek.
I gulped.
“I—I—” I fumbled with my words.
“You liked it and you enjoyed it,” he spoke as I saw the corners of his mouth slightly curve upwards.
“Well, yes. I did. But—”
“Shh.” He ran his thumb across my lips. “I did too and I want to do it again.”
He leaned closer to me and my breath hitched. My heart started to pound and my skin began to heat up as if someone had set me on fire. I didn’t tell him no. I couldn’t tell him no because the truth was that I wanted him
to kiss me. His lips gently brushed against mine, and soon, his gentle kiss became passionate. Our lips locked and moved together as if we’d been kissing each other forever. His hands cupped my face as his tongue met mine. A low growl escaped him, heightening my desire to want more.
Breaking our kiss, he stared into my eyes. “Please come home with me,” he whispered.
I wanted nothing more than to make love to him, but I was scared. It had been so long and I was afraid I’d disappoint him. But I nodded my head, telling him that I would.
He smiled. “Tony, change of plans. We’re going back to the penthouse.”
He kissed me one last time and pulled me into him. Laying my head on his shoulder, I couldn’t shake the fear that resided inside me. He was used to having sex and I was sure all the women he had been with were experienced. Unlike me, who had only had sex with one person in my lifetime. I was caught up in him, mesmerized by this man like I had never been before.
The limo pulled up to the Park Avenue building. Stepping out, Jack opened the door for me and held out his hand. After helping me out, he never let go and led me inside the large double glass doors.
“Good evening, Mr. Sutton,” a distinguished man spoke.
“Good evening, Blaine. This is Miss Flynn.”
Blaine gave me a nod and smiled. “It’s nice to meet you, Miss Flynn.”
“Thank you. Nice to meet you too.”
Jack led me to the elevator and inserted his key, which took us up to the fiftieth floor. Once the doors opened, we stepped into the beautiful dimly lit foyer.
“Is the elevator the only way up here?”
“No. I have a front door right over there. This elevator is a private one with a key or a code. Welcome to my home, Lorelei.”
I looked around at the light gray walls that were graced elegantly with white crown molding throughout. Taking his suitcoat off my shoulders, I handed it to him and he threw it across the chair as we stepped into the living room. Gray modern furniture, which was placed perfectly, surrounded the area. Ceiling-to-floor windows took up the entire room, creating a panoramic view of New York City. It was probably the most beautiful sight I’d ever seen.
Chapter Seventeen
Jack
Seeing Lorelei standing in my living room made me happy. I made the right decision bringing her to my home. Walking over to her, I softly kissed her bare shoulder from behind as she stood in front of the window and looked out into the brightly lit city. Her head tilted to the side, allowing me access to her beautiful neck. My lips traveled around her soft skin as she brought her hand up and placed it on the back of my neck. My hands could no longer control themselves as they roamed up and down her side, feeling her slender body and aching to feel her naked skin against them.
“You’re so beautiful, Lorelei,” I whispered as I kissed the tip of her ear.
When she turned around to face me, I got lost in her blue eyes. Our lips met once again and I bent down and picked her up, carrying her upstairs to my bedroom. This was a first for me and my instincts told me that it was okay. Setting her down in front of the bed, I reached around and unzipped her dress, letting it fall to the ground. I gasped when I saw her perfectly round supple breasts and my mouth instantly traveled to them. When I wrapped my lips around her hardened nipple, she moaned.
“There’s something I need to tell you, Jack,” she spoke.
“What is it, baby?” I continued to explore her breast.
“I’m really nervous.”
I looked at her with concern. “About what?”
“This. What’s going to happen in a few moments if we keep doing this.”
“You mean sex? Why would you be nervous about having sex?”
“Because it’s been a while.” She frowned.
“How long?” I tilted my head.

Lorelei
I stood there nervously debating whether or not I should tell him the honest truth. I could just say a year. That wouldn’t sound so bad. But instead, I opted just to lay it all out on the table.
“Seven years.”
His eyes widened as they stared into mine. “You haven’t had sex since you were...” He stopped for a moment. “Eighteen?”
I took my bottom lip between my teeth as I slowly nodded my head.
“Why?” he asked as he placed his hand on my cheek.
“It’s a long story and I’d rather not get into it now.”
“We don’t have to do this, Lorelei. I mean, if you’re not ready. I understand.”
“I am. I think I’ve waited long enough.”
The corners of his mouth curved into a beautiful smile as he ran his fingers through my hair. “I promise to be very gentle with you. If at any time you want to stop, just tell me and I will.”
My hands reached for his belt as I undid it and took it off him. His lips kissed mine and my hands took down his pants. Breaking our soft kiss, I took down my panties while he unbuttoned his shirt and slid it off his shoulders. Holy shit, his rock hard abs alone almost made me orgasm. Kicking off his shoes, he stepped out of his pants and tossed them to the side. His hands roamed my body as his lips traveled across my neck.
“You have no idea how bad I want you.”
“I want you too,” I spoke with bated breath.
He pulled back the sheets and laid me down. Hovering over me, his hand swept over my breast, down my torso, and to my aching wet spot. He hissed as he cupped me and then slowly dipped a finger inside. My body jolted with excitement as I spread my legs wider apart and thrust my hips up. He smiled down at me and his lips clamped around my breast.
“You’re so wet and you feel so good,” he moaned as his thumb made circles around my swollen clit.
This feeling, sensation, and euphoria that ripped through my body was mind blowing. It had been so long since I’d felt this. His finger moved inside of me, then slowly in and out. I threw my head back as an orgasm stormed through me and moaned like never before. As I placed my hands on his head, his tongue slid down my abdomen and down to my pussy, where he skillfully explored my soaking wet area with his mouth. I took in a sharp breath and then moaned out his name.
“Oh God, Jack.”
I forgot everything about myself in that moment. I was lost in him and I couldn’t find my way back. He stood up and took down his silk boxers, releasing his large, throbbing, hard cock. He wasn’t kidding about the XL condom size. Jesus. What a gift this man was blessed with. I stared at it as he reached into his nightstand and pulled out a condom. My hand extended out and my fingers softly wrapped around his girth. A groan rumbled from his chest as his breath hitched. As he tore the wrapper with his teeth, I let go of his manhood and he carefully slipped the condom on. Hovering over me once again, he leaned down and passionately kissed me.
“Are you ready?” he asked.
“Yes.” I brought my hand up to his face.
He placed his cock at my entrance and slowly pushed inside me. We both moaned.
“Fuck, Lorelei. You feel so fucking good.”
“So do you,” I spoke as I wrapped my legs around his waist, forcing him deeper inside me. I won’t lie and say it didn’t hurt because it did. But it was a good hurt and one I’d be feeling for a while.
He moved in and out of me with ease while his mouth explored my neck. My arms wrapped around him tightly as if I was afraid to let go. Light moans escaped me as my heart raced and my skin became dewy. His rhythm, his movement, and his overall passion sent my body into another orgasm.
“Ah, Lorelei. That’s what I love to feel, baby. Give me everything you have,” he panted as I yelped and released myself to him.
He slowed his thrusting and pushed one last time deep inside me while straining and calling out my name. His body collapsed on top of mine and our soaked skin melted us into one. I could feel his heart racing with mine as he interlaced our fingers and brought them over my head. We lay there in silence as we regained our normal breathing.

I wanted nothing more than to stay buried deep inside her. It bothered me that she hadn’t had sex in seven years. It shouldn’t have, but it did. What secret was she hiding? What was it that she wasn’t telling me? Nobody goes that long without having sex. It isn’t humanly possible. I lifted my head and looked into her blue eyes. They displayed a happiness inside. Smiling at her, I let go of her hands and brushed a strand of hair out of her face.
“How are you feeling?”
She took in a deep breath. “Wonderful.”
“Good. That’s how I want you feel.”
I pulled out of her, climbed off the bed, and walked into the bathroom. After disposing of the condom and walking back into the bedroom, I stopped and stared at her as she lay on her side, her back to me and with the sheet covering her. This was the part I was dreading; kicking her out and sending her home. Walking over to the other side of the bed, I sat down and ran my finger down her arm.
“I didn’t hurt you, did I?”
“No.” She smiled. “Not at all. You were amazing.”
You can do it, Jack. Tell her you had a good time. Thank her for coming over and send her home in a cab.
“Thank you. You were equally amazing.” I stroked her hair.
She sat up, letting the sheet fall down. “I should go,” she spoke.
“Yeah. I guess so.”
This didn’t mean anything. I’d wanted to fuck her since the moment I saw her, and now that I had, she could leave like the rest of the women did.
She climbed out of my bed and picked up her panties off the floor.
I watched her as she slipped them on and then grabbed her dress. I’d brought her up to my room. That meant something. I didn’t want her to leave and I didn’t want to be alone. The thought of her leaving did something to me inside. It created an ache that I didn’t like.
“Lorelei.”
“Yes?” She turned around.
“Don’t go. Please spend the night with me.”
“Are you sure, Jack?”
I held out my hand to her. “I’ve never been so sure about anything in my life.”
