Chapter 2: Building Tension
The room was a temperature-controlled abyss of opulence in which Jane found herself, trembling, her mind in a whirlpool of anxiety and desire. Marble floors gleamed underfoot, reflecting golden light thrusting down from grandiose crystal chandeliers suspended majestically above. Furniture that seemed as if it belonged in a museum sat regally, hinting towards wealth and sophistication.
Jane had been reluctant to attend the gathering her husband arranged, but after hours of his persuasion, she found herself giving in to his desires as well as her own.
John had always been her rock, her partner in every sense of the word, but he seemed strangely absent which made her feel abandoned at this moment of truth. Nonetheless, she was content with acknowledging that she craved pleasure as much as the next person and soon found solace in the thought.
Before she could delve deeper into dark, steamy thoughts of satisfying her deepest desires, the towering forms of Rick and Dave filled the doorframe. The taller man, Rick, WAS ruggedly handsome with dark hair and a chiseled jaw.
His formidable physique dominated the room as he strode in, a confident smile exuded sex appeal. Dave, on the other hand, was broadly built but with light brown hair and a friendly smile that put her nerves somewhat at ease.
Rick's gaze burned into Jane's every crevice as if she were exposed before him, devoid of clothes. As if summoned by the intensity of his gaze, Jane's body began to flush with an exquisite heat from within.
She couldn't deny the tingling that manifested between her thighs as her heart raced. Her breath caught in her throat, held captive by the sheer charisma radiating off him.
"Well, aren't you a sight for sore eyes?" Rick growled, slowing his pace until he stood mere inches away.
He reached out, gently tucking a stray lock of hair behind her ear before trailing a finger down her cheek. The touch sent a jolt of electricity through her entire being-it had been so long since she felt this desired, this wanted.
