He pulled back, cocked his head, and raised his eyebrow. “Fine? That’s all? Just fine? I just gave you, I would assume, the best orgasm of your life and all you can say is ‘fine’?” he said with irritation.

“I heard you jacking off in the bathroom. Why didn’t you let me take care of you? Do you know how that made me feel?” I asked as I turned away.

He lightly took hold of my arm and turned me around. “I told you that today was about you, not me. What part of that don’t you understand? And why would that bother you?”

“Because it made me feel like you thought I couldn’t get you off. You have no idea what Brendon has done to me. How he stripped me bare of any self-confidence because of the things he said to me. Making me feel like a worthless piece of shit every time we made love, which wasn’t very often, by the way.” Tears began to fill my eyes.

“Are you kidding? I get off just by looking at you. You don’t even have to touch me, Gabrielle,” he said in a controlled tone as he placed his hands on my hips. “Listen to me. You are to never give that fucking asshole another thought. Whatever he said to you is not true. Trust me, you will be getting me off soon enough. You will never have to fear anyone putting you down again. You’re an amazing woman with an incredible ass and beautiful pussy, and later, I will explore more of your body. I already have the images in my head of how perfect and perky your tits are and I’m looking forward to watching you strip out of your clothes in front of me for the first time.”

God, he was exciting me again. I gave him a small smile as he leaned over and kissed my lips. “So I’ll ask you again: how do you feel?”

“Wonderful. Exhilarated. I feel like I’m on top of the world.” I smiled.

He chuckled. “If you feel like that from my hand, imagine how you’re going to feel when my cock goes inside you.” He winked. I gasped. He smiled. “Now go change your clothes and let’s get out of here. I’ll bring the suitcases to the bedroom.”

Chapter 15

We ate lunch at his hotel restaurant, which was located on the rooftop. It was a beautiful sight, overlooking the city. It was breathtaking, just like the rest of the hotel was. I was reveling in glorious pleasure from earlier and I couldn’t stop thinking about the things Simon had said to me. After we placed our order, I looked at Simon as he took a drink of his bourbon.

“How did you come to acquire all this?”

He set his glass down and smiled. “I normally don’t talk about my personal life with anyone.”
