“You got this!”I said to my reflection before grabbing my purse and checking the different sizes of condoms I had bought earlier that day with two lubes.One un-flavored and one chocolate flavored.The employee at the pharmacy definitely thought I was a weirdo for grabbing two boxes of condoms, but hey, I didn’t know how big or how small Dex was going to be, and what if he came unprepared without any protection?
I had my waxing appointment earlier that week, so I was ready to learn the craft of sex.
Should I getKamasutratoo or… no, I would reach late if I stalled any longer.
“Wish me luck, Pollux!”I said to my goldfish and waved at him.“Your mom will no longer be a virgin!Aren’t you happy?”
He made a face, and I couldn’t help but smile.I left my house that I owned without any mortgage.It was one of the things I was extremely proud of.I was super fortunate to graduate early with top grades, and I put in a ton of work to stand out in the luxury jewelry world with my unique and durable designs.Because of that, I could start my career and ask for a higher salary right away.
The drive to the hotel was smooth.I had booked a honeymoon suite because I didn’t know how many times we were going to have sex, and staying in bed all night while I was sweaty and tired seemed unhygienic.I had already stretched my hips at home, so I was well-prepared.
Even though I had never gone over second base, I was ready.
I took a deep breath when the smell of luxurious essential oils filled the elevator.I watched the number go higher, my nerves increasing with each passing second.
I could do it, right?Have sex with a complete stranger?
Of course!I hired him, and he was a professional.I’m sure I can do it.
But I didn’t need to have sex.I could make out, talk, maybe go for third base and then call it a day?I still had four weeks.
My body was tense and tight when I stood in front of the hotel door.I licked my lips and raised my fist to knock.My skin prickled with the awareness of what I was wearing.The stockings cinched on my legs, my feet wavering in the heels that felt comfortable but unsteady for the first time in years.I liked my red bottoms, but I only wore them on special occasions.
And losing my virginity to an escort was special enough.
Footsteps echoed from the room, and I held my breath as the door swung open.My gaze dragged up slowly.Sneakers, worn jeans, a snug shirt stretched across a chest carved from stone.Broad shoulders filled the frame, every line of him radiating strength.His cologne hit me next.Dark, masculine, and addictive.Heat curled low in my stomach, flooding me with want.
And then I saw him.
He looked likesinmade flesh.A razor-sharp jawline, sun-kissed skin that begged to be touched, and lips so full and plump they made my mouth water.His strong nose only sharpened the perfection of his features, but it was his eyes.Deepest shade of green I had ever seen and blown wide with hunger that pinned me where I stood.He was clean-shaven, flawless, anddevastatinglymale.
Jesus.Help me.
I gulped.“Hi, I’m Katie.”
Great!I told the stranger from the internet my real name.
He blinked, his long eyelashes peering down at me.Yes, he was tall.Taller than me even with my high heels on.His hair was soft, faded on the sides and fuller on top, and he definitely pulled off the bedhead model look.He looked like he had stepped out of a magazine cover.First page.
Was I in the wrong room?Wouldn’t be the first time if I were.
“Katie,” he said, more to himself than me as he slowly checked me out.Was it the hallway lighting, or did his neck and cheeks seem to redden?“Katie?”
I looked around just to make sure I was the only person in the hallway and nodded confusingly.I checked my phone and showed him the texts from the app.“I’m Katie.You’re Dex, right?”
Please say yes.I want to climb you.
Stop.
Bad brain!
“C-come in,” he said, swinging the door wide open for me to enter.I frowned walking past him, our clothes brushing, and I definitely heard him mutter, ‘Oh my God’ under his breath.
I discreetly sniffed my underarms to check whether I smelled bad.Nope.Maybe I should freshen up?
My body stiffened.Soft, golden light flickered across the room from dozens of candles scattered on gleaming surfaces, from the polished mahogany dresser to the low coffee table, and the marble nightstands.Rose petals trailed from the door to the massive four-poster bed, its sheets a cascade of crisp ivory silk.
What the heck?A four-poster bed?With roses and candles?!
