Marie’s eyes are huge in the shadows from the flickering street lights. “Time for what?”

“Time to tell me your secrets.” They’ve been on my mind all of dinner. Every waking moment. I wanted to carry her out of that restaurant and demand answers from her perfect lips. The jewelry mattered less than the secrets. It hurt to leave it behind. Of course it hurt. But it was superseded by how hard Marie tried. “You don’t owe them to me, but I want them.”

For several long seconds I think she’s going to refuse. Marie’s tongue darts out to wet her lower lip. “What secrets?”

“The ones that made you touch the necklace in my room, even though you knew better. The ones that made your face turn so red in the boutique. The ones that make tears come to your eyes when you have a bite of good food on your tongue. Those secrets.”

“Tell me yours first.” Challenge lights her eyes. “What was all that jewelry from? Are you some kind of high-end thief?”

I burst out laughing. It feels good to laugh. Marie doesn’t know what to make of it. “No. I’m not a thief. The jewelry came from a collection I purchased for my former fiancée.”

A hard swallow. “What happened to her?”

“She cheated on me.”

“Oh, shit,” Marie whispers. “Why would anyone ever cheat on you?”

“I’m not old money, sweetheart. She wanted someone with a better pedigree.”

Marie’s mouth drops open. She stares at me like I’ve said something truly incomprehensible. And offensive. “Better than what? You—” I can see her blushing, even in the shadowy interior of the car. “You have money. You’re powerful. You’re...”

“Say it.”

“You’re handsome.” Another swallow. “Very.”

And you are the most beautiful thing I’ve ever seen. “Tell me your secrets.”

Marie hesitates just long enough that the driver has time to pull off the main road and toward the Bliss Hotel. Her eyes go from the hotel to the car door, and I know exactly what she’s planning—to spill them and run.

I hold up a hand. “Wait.”

“Wait for what?”

“We’re going inside, and you’re going to sit on my bed while you tell me.”

It’s random and strange and I know it. I also don’t care. After a moment Marie nods, and when the car stops in front of the hotel she follows me obediently inside and into the elevator.

I want her. I want her in so many ways it hurts. I want to tell her everything about me, but more than that, I want to know everything about her. I want to kiss her and taste her and hold her. All of it at once, if possible. Since it’s not possible, I’ll settle for killing two birds with one stone.

The closer we get to the suite, the harder my cock gets. This wanting began the moment I first saw her, in a way that I wasn’t willing to admit. Now it’s like stepping into a forest fire.

We go into the suite. Marie pauses at the door and takes off her heels, then pads behind me to the bed.
