Chapter 20
Sophie
We’re lying in bed, facing each other in the pale moonlight. I should feel self-conscious about our shower activities earlier, but all I feel is blissfully happy and relaxed. Knowing Colton wanted me just as badly as I wanted him – that his desire for me had nothing to do with the transaction at the auction and was the culmination of raw lust – made it that much better.
“I have an idea…” Colton says, looking at me thoughtfully. “About you working.”
He’s changed his mind. He doesn’t want me out of the house, which was my sole purpose for wanting to find a job. I swallow heavily and meet his gaze. “What is it?”
His thumb reaches out to smooth the crinkle etched into my forehead. “How would you feel about working for one of my companies?”
It’s just another way I’ll be tied to him. I’d wanted something for me. But as I open my mouth to speak, he continues.
“It’d be for my charity organization. I’m sponsoring a huge project in Africa and could use an extra set of hands. Mostly office work – if you’re good with word processing and filing. Kylie’s my only full-time office employee, and she’s been working seven days a week just trying to keep up with the workload. It’d actually be a huge help.”
Knowing it’s for charity, and that’s he’s not just throwing me some pity busy-work, I find myself nodding my head. “Okay. I’ll do it.”This is the property of Nô-velDrama.Org.
“Perfect. I’ll let Kylie know. You can start whenever it suits you.”
“Tomorrow will be fine.” I don’t think I need another day of lounging in the sun or jogging aimlessly through Colton’s winding neighborhood of mansions.
He chuckles. “Tomorrow it is.”

Colton wakes me in the morning with tender kisses to the back of my neck and I push my bottom into his groin and moan at the dual sensations. The damp sucking kisses and the rigid length of his erection nestled between my cheeks perk me up instantly. I’m wide awake. And suddenly very much in the mood, remembering that earth-shattering orgasm he delivered last night.
He nips at the base of my neck, moving lower down my spine. “Does that feel nice, sweetness?”
“Yes,” I breathe. Rolling over so I can see him, I bring my arms around his neck and snuggle closer. I like our new lack of boundaries when it comes to touching. It feels nice to be held after not having a man in my life for so long. Last night bonded us and it’s obvious we’re growing closer. I have a feeling I’m going to miss him even more than before when he’s at work.
We kiss for several minutes and cuddle in the big, warm bed before Colton crawls out, saying he needs to shower and get ready for work. I guess I do too.
