That question was enough to derail Zoe.“Marcel.And about eight hundred other people.Okay, five other people.Might as well have been eight hundred.We went to a comedy club, some great improv.”
“But?”
“Well, there was no vampire attack.”
“Wasn’t that Todd?”
“I was pretty sure it was Marcel.I’ll find out.Tonight, it’s just the two of us.I’m cooking.”
“That’s a way to a man’s heart.”
“A way to get him alone is more like it,” Zoe said.
Even across the miles, she heard the smile in her sister’s voice.
They spent a few more minutes discussing business, and Sofia let Zoe know that Cade had confirmed her meeting with William and Erin Donovan.
“Do you want me to join you?”
“I think I’ve got it,” Sofia replied.“But I’ll want to go through the new presentation with you.Seeing the ranch and talking to Mom gave me some things to think about.”
“Will you be in the office tomorrow?”
“I’ll be there after lunch, yes.”
A few minutes later, they ended the call.
Sofia watched a little television but couldn’t concentrate on the plot line.She responded to emails and reviewed a couple of contracts each branch was getting ready to send out before admitting she was still restless.
She changed into a swimsuit and headed to the pool for a few lengths, and even that didn’t help.
Finally, later, in the shower, as she lathered the soap, she allowed herself to remember her time with Cade, the spanks, the three times he’d used the paddle, the cuffs, blindfold, a plug up her ass while he fucked her with his big cock.
In surrender, she tipped back her head, moved her palms over her breasts and tweaked her nipples.Unbelievably, she was still tender from the pinwheel and from the way he’d squeezed and tugged on her.She moaned from the pressure.
Eyes closed, she slid a hand between her thighs and touched her clit.She gasped and jerked.Their lovemaking in the middle of the night had been exquisite, but it had left her sore.Even the gentlest touch was enough to make her gasp.
But she didn’t stop.She wanted to come again, and the rawness allowed her to almost,almostbelieve he was there…
Sofia slipped a finger inside her pussy and rested her forehead on the ceramic tile.
The beginnings of a climax made her stomach clench and she plunged a second finger inside and fucked herself hard.
Crying out his name, she rose onto her toes, pressed against the wall for more support and shuddered as she came.
Even as the aftershocks assailed her, she knew it wasn’t enough.
Cade had changed her, rocked her.She was starting to fall for him.
The recognition that she meant little to him was devastating.It would take all her resolve to forget about him and keep her own thoughts in perspective.
She turned off the faucet and wished she could turn off her emotions as easily.

Sofia lost her breath.
She stepped off the elevator at the eighteenth floor of Donovan Worldwide to see Cade standing in the lobby area, legs spread shoulder-width apart.He had on a blue Western shirt covered by a black blazer.His jeans hugged his thighs, and his expression was partially hidden by his cowboy hat.The sight of him devastated her.
