Chapter 1: Introduction
A current of electricity pulsed through the packed nightclub. The room was alive with swirling colors and everyone seemed free, liberated by the darkness from their daily lives. I walked through the crowd, a cool drink in my hand, seductive beats massaging the airwaves and electrifying my blood.
Riina and I usually met up here on weekends. It’s never been a date. Yeah, right. We both enjoy the attention, but the repeated rounds of meaningless sex are starting to wear me out.
I suppose I’m not the type to commit either. Still, there was always something about Riina—I couldn't quite put my finger on it.
Her dark eyes met mine from across the room, and I swear I saw the corners of her lips twitch. I made my way through the dancing bodies, brushing against soft flesh, feeling heat penetrate my clothing. When I reached her, she bent to whisper in my ear, her breath hot and heavy.
"Let's get out of this sweaty zoo."
I finished my drink and followed her out of the club, the cold airelesiating our sticky bodies. She flagged down a taxi and we piled in, still silent, but with knowing glances.
We entered my apartment, and the moment the door closed behind us, our restraint dissolved. She turned and slapped her hands against the wall, trapping me between her arms as she looked at me with devilish eyes.
"Fuck, Riina," I hissed, placing my hands on her hips.
My body was taut with anticipation. I’d been fantasizing about this all night. "You have no idea what you do to me."
She pulled her bottom lip between her teeth and ground herself against my thigh. "Show me."
My heart jumped, muscles twitched, and I knew I wouldn't be able to resist her. I moved her hands from the wall, raised them above her head, and pressed my lips to her neck. I squeezed her wrists, possessively, hearing her gasp in response. The force of her heartbeat pulsed against my lips.
I sucked the delicate skin, drowning in her scent. Captivated by her reactions, I continued to explore her collarbones and shoulders with my tongue, biting softly, and leaving a path of fiery kisses as I descended towards her exposed cleavage.
Riina moaned, "Fuck, I need you now."
Impatient, the woman of the hour took control of her own pleasure by unbuckling my belt, sliding down my zipper, and freeing my straining cock.
She wrapped her hand around its girth, and looked me directly in the eye, biting down on her bottom lip.
"Took you long enough," I groaned, unable to take my gaze off her sinful eyes.
She teasingly stroked me, running her fingers over the tip, smearing pre-cum as she moved to rub my shaft along her drenched slit.
She bent slightly, moaning, sliding herself up and down my cock. Her wetness coated me, glistening in the dim light filtering into the room.
I slipped a finger inside her, her muscles clenching around me, still gripping my cock tightly, teasing me. "Jesus, Riina," I groaned, my eyes rolling in the back of my head.
She guided me inside her, inch by inch, her head falling back as she cried out. I slowly drew back, enjoying the shudder running through her body. I was getting lost in her, and I couldn't imagine ever stopping.
I grabbed her hips and pulled her down onto me, harder. Our bodies moved together as one; the rhythm, wild and unrestrained. She moved with pure, animalistic desire, her loose hair brushing against her bare shoulders and sweat-dampened skin.
Riina's back arched deeply as her breathy pants turned into low moans that spurred me on. I trailed kisses along her jawline, tasting the salt of her sweat mixed with the sweet perspiration scent on her skin.

I sucked and nipped at her earlobe, whispering, "You like that, don't you?"
She shivered, her eyelashes fluttering as she panted, "Yes."
Her core pulsed around me, squeezing me harder. I could feel her pleasure rising, building. I wanted to give her everything I had.
As I thrust into her again, she gasped and bit her lip, her voice breathy with need. "Oh, fuck yeah." I could feel her core tightening around my cock.
I knew she was close, and I increased the pace, slamming into her harder and harder. Sweat trickled down her chest as she let out a guttural scream, her muscles clenching as her orgasm ripped through her. I couldn't hold back any longer. Waves of pleasure crashed over me, my body shaking as I came deep inside of her.
We stayed there, panting heavily, our bodies still intertwined. I pulled out, and Riina slumped limply against the wall, a satisfied smile on her face.
"You always know how to make me feel good," she murmured, her voice husky with pleasure.
It wasn't the first time we'd found ourselves in this situation, and it wouldn't be the last. But even as I caught my breath, I couldn't help but wonder whether there was more to our relationship than just sex.
"Do you ever think about what it could be like between us?" I asked, my voice barely above a whisper.
Riina looked at me, her eyes clouded with confusion.
"What do you mean?" she asked, her voice barely above a whisper. I took a deep breath, trying to gather my thoughts. I hadn't planned on having this conversation tonight, but now that it was here, I realized that I couldn't keep ignoring my true feelings.
"I mean, do you ever think about what it could be like between us, if it was more than just sex?" I asked, trying to keep my voice steady.
Riina's eyes widened, and she pulled away from me, her arms crossed over her chest.
"Is that what you want?"
I hesitated, trying to find the right words to express how I felt. "I don't know," I admitted, "But I can't keep pretending like this is just casual, when it feels like so much more."
Riina looked at me for a long moment, her expression unreadable. Then, she sighed, and leaned against me, her head resting on my chest. "I don't know either," she said, her voice muffled.
"I've always enjoyed our arrangement, but I can't deny that there's something more between us."
Our conversation was interrupted by another wave of desire. Riina wrapped her arms around my neck, and I lifted her off the floor, carrying her to the bedroom. I laid her down gently on the bed, my body covering hers.
Her legs wrapped around my waist, pulling me closer. She gasped as she felt me, already hard again, pressing against her.
"I want you," she whispered, her breath hot against my ear.
