Chapter 1: The Sunlit Seduction
I'm not an idiot. I know Tiffany ( I refuse to call her Sunshine) isn't madly in love with me, but we get along well enough and fucking me regularly is a small price for her to pay to live in my giant house in the hills, drive my cars, and go shopping on my American Express card.
The sun was a heavy, golden weight on my skin. I stretched out on the lounger, the plastic straps creaking, and watched her through my sunglasses. She was standing at the infinity edge of the pool, toes curled over the tile, her back to me and the sprawling, smog-hazed city below. She knew I was watching. They always do.
“The water’s perfect, Ron,” she called over her shoulder, her voice all honey and cornfields.
“I’m good right here.”
She turned, a slow pirouette on the cracked mosaic. The afternoon light caught the water beads on her stomach, the curve of her hip where her tiny red bikini bottom cut in. Her smile was a practiced, brilliant thing. “You’re just being lazy.”
“I’m being appreciative.” I took a sip of my iced tea. “The view’s better from here.”
She laughed, that giggle that was supposed to sound carefree, and walked toward me. The sway in her hips was a language she’d learned from some director or another. Her shadow fell across my legs, cool and long. She knelt on the warm concrete beside the chair, her blue eyes wide and guileless. Up close, I could see the faint dusting of freckles across her nose she usually covered with makeup.
“You work too hard,” she said, her fingers trailing up my calf. Her touch was light, teasing.
“I don’t work at all. That’s the point.”
“Thinking is work.” Her hand slid higher, over my knee, my thigh. The terrycloth of my robe fell open. Her gaze dropped. “You seem… tense.”
I didn’t move. Let her do the work. That was the unspoken rule. Her nails scratched gently through the hair on my thighs, and then her fingers found the waistband of my swim trunks. She hooked her thumbs in them and looked up at me, a question in her eyes that wasn’t really a question at all.
I gave a slow, almost imperceptible nod.
She pulled the fabric down, freeing me. The air was warm, but her sharp, quiet inhale was warmer. She’d seen it a dozen times, but the performance required a moment of staged awe. Her fingers, cool from the pool, curled around the base. She gave a slow, testing stroke, her thumb brushing over the thick vein on the underside.
“You’re not so tense down here,” she murmured, more to herself than to me.
Then she leaned in and took me into her mouth.
Her tongue was flat and hot and wet. She started slow, just the head, swirling the broad tip with a focus that was almost clinical. A soft, humming sound vibrated through her throat and into me. Her blonde hair fell around her face like a curtain, tickling my stomach. I let my head fall back against the cushion, the sun burning red through my closed eyelids.
She took more, inch by inch, her lips stretching into a tight, perfect ring. She knew how to breathe through her nose, how to relax her jaw. This was her job, after all. But she was good at it. Better than good. There was an artistry to the suction, the flick of her tongue against the sensitive spot just below the head, the way her hand worked in tandem with her mouth, twisting on the upstroke.
I reached down and tangled my fingers in her hair, not guiding, just feeling the motion. She picked up the pace, her head bobbing in a smooth, relentless rhythm. The wet, slick sounds mixed with the distant thrum of a helicopter, the faint buzz of a leaf blower somewhere down the canyon. Pleasure coiled, tight and hot, deep in my gut. My hips lifted off the chair, seeking more.
“Tiffany,” I grunted.
She understood. She pulled off with a soft pop, her lips glistening. She wiped the back of her hand across her mouth, her eyes bright and eager. “Take me upstairs.”
I stood, my body throbbing. I scooped her up in one motion, her legs wrapping instantly around my waist. She was light, all muscle and sinew under her soft skin. She buried her face in my neck, laughing as I carried her through the sliding glass doors, across the cool expanse of travertine floor, and up the wide, curved staircase.
My bedroom was all shadows and sharp lines, the blinds half-closed against the afternoon glare. I dropped her onto the massive bed. She bounced once, still giggling, and shimmied out of her bikini bottoms while I kicked off my trunks.
She was already on her knees in the center of the bed when I climbed over her. She pushed me onto my back and straddled my hips, taking me in her hand again. She guided me inside her, sinking down with a slow, controlled roll of her hips that made us both groan.
“God, you’re thick,” she breathed, her head falling back.
She began to move, a lazy, grinding rhythm. Her hands braced on my chest, her nails digging in just enough. Her eyes were closed, her lips parted. She was putting on a show, but her body was honest—the flush spreading from her chest to her throat, the tight clench of her inner muscles around me, the sheen of sweat blooming between her breasts.
“Faster,” I said, my voice rough.
She shook her head, blonde hair sticking to her damp temples. “No. I like it slow.” She rose up until I was almost out of her, then sank back down, a deep, maddening plunge. “I like to feel all of you.”
She was drawing it out, teasing, making it last. Her pace was agonizing and perfect. The room filled with the sound of our breathing, the slick slap of skin. The light shifted as a cloud passed over the sun, then returned, brighter. I gripped her hips, my fingers pressing into the soft give of her flesh. I tried to thrust up into her, to take control, but she pinned me down with her weight and that infuriating, exquisite slowness.
“You close?” she whispered, leaning forward so her breasts brushed my chest. Her breath was hot in my ear.
“Yes.”
“Good.” She straightened up, her movements becoming slightly more urgent, a fraction less controlled. Her rhythm broke, just a little. “Come on. Do it. Fill me up.”
That was all it took. The coil snapped. A white-hot wave surged up from my balls, blinding and total. I slammed up into her, holding her hips hard against me as I pulsed deep inside. It went on and on, a seemingly endless release. I shuddered, my vision spotting.
She collapsed forward onto my chest, her body trembling around mine. We lay there, stuck together, breathing hard. I could still feel the aftershocks twitching through me, inside her.
After a minute, she giggled, a shaky, breathy sound. She shifted slightly, wincing. “Jesus, Ron. You’re still going.” She pressed a hand low on her stomach. “I can feel it. It’s like… a lot. You’re gonna make me leak all over your nice sheets.”
I didn’t answer. I just kept my eyes closed, listening to the helicopter sound return, growing louder, passing directly overhead before fading away into the endless hum of the city.
