СКАЧАТЬ tantrum that feels like a ball of fire in his throat, but what he says is simply: “I’ll take over.” He looks at Hadley, who sighs when she sees Guy. He’s a pretty boy who knows exactly how pretty he is. Chiseled cheekbones, dimpled chin, jaw you could use for a ruler. He might have stepped out of an Abercrombie & Fitch ad instead of stepping out of her past.

      She wants to tell him that pretty doesn’t work for her. Not anymore. She knows exactly where she stands. She is thirty-three. She weighs 117 pounds. She never lies and says she’s thirty. She never fibs and says she’s 115. But she guesses that if someone asked this dark-haired Adonis his weight or his age, some part of the truth would be shaved off the top. He dyes his hair to achieve those chestnut highlights. She’s certain.

      Frost leaves. The fact that he doesn’t turn around to say goodbye is one more point in his pro column. She’s hooked—and fucked—and she knows it.

      “How can I help you, Hadley?” Guy asks her as he takes Frost’s seat.

      “You can’t.”

      Guy follows her eyes, sees she’s staring after Frost and sneers, “He’s not your type.”

      “What do you know about my type?”

      “More than you think I should. More than I’d like to.” This interaction is not going the way Guy hoped it would.

      “You don’t know anything about me, Guy.” That’s not entirely true, so she adds resignedly, “Not anymore.”

      “I know what your pussy tastes like.” He can’t help himself. Maybe if he pushes her buttons, she’ll give him what he needs. He’s got a rise out of her in the past. He knows how to make her react.

      People turn to look at them. Hadley feels their eyes and wonders if they can sense the distaste she has for Guy.

      “So do a lot of men.”

      “You say that like you’re proud.”

      She stands and looks down at him. “And you say you know what my pussy tastes like as if you know your way around a girl’s clit.”

      She ought to have anticipated this. When her editor had assigned her to cover the gym, she should have asked who’d suggested the story in the first place. But her mind had been on finding a new apartment, reestablishing old work ties, digging into her storage facility for the nuts and bolts of her old life. She’d moved out of Northern California to get free of Guy. She’d never have expected him to be on the lookout for her return. Their relationship hadn’t simply evaporated—the dregs had curdled and soured. A year traveling the country had been for her mental health.

      Apparently, Guy had been waiting for her to come back. Getting her to write an article about the place where he works is a creative way of finding her once more.

      But fuck Guy. She can’t spend her whole life doing the things he wants her to do, being the person he thought she was. If she learned anything while traveling the country for the past twelve months, it’s that she has to be true to herself.

      * * *

      Guy slips into the private executive men’s room, locks the door, and pushes his strong back against the cool, tiled wall. He’s as well built as any of the athletes out there on the floor, but he isn’t on a team. His job here is head of the PR department. Right now, he doesn’t care about his responsibilities. His top priority is to make himself come. He has his hand on his cock before he can even consider what he’s doing.

      How many times has he jacked off to images of Hadley over the past twelve months? Too many to count, that’s for fucking sure. He was certain the situation would unfold differently when he saw her again. No, he doesn’t think life is like a happy movie of the week, but he’d yearned for a happy ending. He thought she’d remember what they had, what they were like—how it felt to have his dick deep inside her.

      When she’d let him, that is.

      His hand pumps up and down his shaft. He was hard since before she arrived. Simply knowing she was coming to the gym today gave him an erection. Part of him—the guilty part—is certain she can guess what he’s doing right now. She had him down pat when they were together; she understood what made him tick.

      So many times she forced him to wait for his pleasure. She’d make him go for a week, two, three, with no release, and he loved it. When she was in her cruelest moods, she’d keep a red pen by the calendar. Each day he survived without an orgasm, she’d draw an X in the little square. There would be a reward waiting for him if he was good, or sweet punishment if he was bad. He enjoyed both situations equally, if he were to be completely honest with himself.

      He’d imagined that this year was simply the longest punishment she’d ever meted out. And he’d behaved. He’d been faithful—if “faithful” includes watching an almost endless stream of BDSM porn. He didn’t sink his dick into any other woman. That should count for something, right?

      His hand works his cock as he imagines her tying him down to her bed, telling him what a naughty boy he’s been, punishing him with her favorite array of X-rated weapons. He hesitates only long enough to fill his palm with the synthetic rose-scented pink soap. He’s not thinking clearly. He only craves relief. The liquid soap feels like pure sin on his rod. He fucks his slippery palm while he recalls his past with Hadley. She liked to use a wooden paddle first, heating his ass cheeks until they were deep cherry-red. Then she’d stripe him with her crop, watching as he worked hard not to fuck the mattress in his desire for mercy. Sometimes being bad feels so fucking good. Guy knows all about that.

      His favorite time with Hadley occurred right near the end. They were fighting a lot—that is, when they were talking. But one night she came home in a mood. He sensed the shift in the apartment as soon as she walked through the door. The molecules in the air seemed to change. She had him bound with cold steel cuffs, his wrists over his head. She brought out a strap-on that night, and a bottle of lube. She set them both on the bedside table, so he could stare at them and know what was coming.

      There was discipline first—Hadley always took care of his needs, the wicked urges that made his dick hard. And then she whispered to him that she was going to use him for her own pleasure. She got his permission first.

      “Let me,” she’d said, and he’d nodded.

      She’d parted the cheeks of his ass and poured lube between, then worked her thumb into his tight virgin hole. For several moments he’d held his breath, afraid that if he made any sort of move, she might stop. How had she known that he’d always wanted someone to fuck his ass? He’d never confessed this desire, and she’d never broached the subject before.

      Somehow, she’d simply known.

      After prepping him with lube and that dreamy finger fucking, she’d dangled the strap-on in front of his eyes and made him suck the head. He’d started slowly, his lips stretching over the tip, getting used to the sensation before she fastened the toy to the harness that was in place around her slim hips. His lips around the tool had felt like coming home, and he hadn’t wanted her to pull back. But ultimately she moved behind him on the bed, parted his cheeks and stretched him wide.

      He’d cried when she fucked him. Not because he didn’t like it, but because he did.

      He’s all twisted. He knows that. She knew that, too, and she accepted him.
