“Stay,” Christian asks.

We’re in bed, my chin resting on his bare chest as he draws circles on my shoulder with a finger.

After our talk, it didn’t take long for us to start making out on the couch, and one thing led to another…

Two hours later, I can certify that making love to Christian Slade the world famous actor is no different than making love to Christian Slade the Hollywood wannabe. I felt no extra thrill, mostly because I think it’d be impossible to feel more. I swear I’ve reached the highest level of satisfaction a human being can achieve.

Although I have to say, having sex with other people present in the house—personnel—was weird. Christian’s wealth still feels intimidating and makes me more uncomfortable than keen.

“I can’t,” I say, even if leaving my spot nestled in his arms is the last thing I want to do. “I have work tomorrow, and I have to feed the cats. Cengel and Boles are probably destroying the house already.”

“Penny can go to your house, feed your darlings, and grab a change of clothes for tomorrow. And she can drive you to campus again in the morning.”

“Oh, I wouldn’t want to inconvenience her. It’s late.”

“Don’t worry, it’s her job.”

“To feed your girlfriends’ cats?”

Oops, I said girlfriend. Too soon?

As usual, I blush.

But Christian immediately puts me at ease.

“Girlfriend, singular,” he says, tapping my nose with one finger.

“Are you sure it’s no trouble for her?”

“Penelope is very well compensated for her efforts, and she knew this was a no-fixed-hours gig when she signed up. Trust me, she’s happy to help.”

“I’m not used to having people do things for me.”

“So allow me to spoil you a little.” Christian kisses my shoulder. “Being with me will have plenty of downsides; you witnessed some of those already. At least try to enjoy the perks.” The cute frown that has become the bane of my existence makes an appearance. “Please, stay…” Christian whispers again.

How can I say no to that face?

Easy. I don’t.

I end up staying at Christian’s house the whole week. I still go to work, obviously, but afterward, it’s right back to the mansion and into Christian’s arms. So it’s Friday night by the time I walk back to my house. I miss my cats, and they—well, they probably don’t miss me, but they must have at least started fussing over where I’ve gotten myself off to. Penelope looked a bit frazzled the last time she returned from feeding them.

Christian offered to have Penelope give me a ride again, but I decided to do without the private chauffeur. To have an assistant by extension is weird. As is having a personal chef. And two maids, a gardener, pool boy, garage manager, and three rotating security guards. All those people at our beck and call. It’s enough to make my head spin.

Also, I never imagined a house could require so many staff members to run. Being at Christian’s feels more like staying at a hotel than visiting a boyfriend.

But at least there were no paparazzi.
