But before I can make a move, my phone’s chiming in my

pocket. I pull it out and see that it’s Damon and he only calls

when it’s an important matter regarding one of our clients.

“I’m sorry,” I say with a groan. “I have to take this, it’s my partner

at the firm.”

Abby shrugs her shoulders, “It’s ok, it gives me time to take a

shower.”

I open the door to our suite and answer the call, eyes glued to

Abby’s perfect, round ass jiggling with each step she takes

toward the bathroom. The shower turns on and while Damon

carries on about one of our high–profile clients, my mind is on

one thing only.

Abby’s firm, young body getting soaked with warm water while

she’s washing herself. How it must look as the suds slide over

her breasts and continue down to her bare mound.

Shit, why did he have to call now of all times?

By the time the water turns off, Damon is finally wrapping up the business talk. I’m caught off guard when he asks me what I’m doing for the weekend. And without thinking, I lie and tell him I’ll

don’t mention Abby to him.

A couple of minutes later, we finish our conversation just as

Abby is walking out of the bathroom wearing nothing but the

complimentary cotton towel from the resort. Her supple skin is

still damp from the water and the white fabric is clinging to her

curves.

“Did you want to shower?” she asks me in a low voice, barely

above a whisper. With her eyes cast down, she opens her mouth.

as if she wants to ask me something but then she stops herself.

I step toward her and place a tender kiss on her exposed

shoulder. I deeply inhale, taking in the subtle lavender aroma of

the body wash that had yet to fade from her skin.

Now that she’s freshly bathed, I guess it’s only fair that I take a

quick shower right before we begin our dirty play. There are so

“Damon? What about it?” I’m racking my brain trying to figure

out why she would be upset about my having a conversation

with him.

It’s only when she opens her mouth to proceed that it hits me. “I

overheard you lying to him about your weekend plans,” her voice

is a shaky whisper. “You didn’t mention me. Why not?”

My stomach tightens as guilt washes over me. I didn’t think she

could hear me while she was in the bathroom earlier. I shouldn’t have lied to my business partner, but there was a reason why I

did.

But before I can explain myself, Abby pulls away from me and moves to the other end of the couch. She stares at me with sadness and anxiety washing over her face. “Are you ashamed to be with me?” she questions, her tone growing louder.

“What…of course not.”

Tears well in her eyes and her bottom lip begins to quiver. It’s killing me to see her upset like this. Even if I’m the cause of it.

“Am I just a young piece of ass to you? Someone that’s just temporary and who you’d never take seriously?” her voice is trembling, and she rapidly blinks away her tears.

“No, I care deeply for you,” I tell her, trying to keep my tone as calm as possible. I’m angry at myself and feel like such an

asshole for making her question my intentions.
