When Daniel and I hadlocked eyes, there was no denying the attraction between us on our first meeting. Cody and I stood at the bar waiting for someone to dance, and then slip into that seat. But no such luck. I watched as Daniel sauntered over to us. “Hey, would you like a drink?” His voice was soft and low like the music he played in his club.

“I don’t drink,” I said, standing at the bar, my legs crossed as Cody tried to get the bartender’s attention.

“Cole doesn’t drink, but I do. He’s studying to be a lawyer. You’ve heard that expression, sober as a judge or something like that.” Daniel raised his hand, his glance never faltered when he glimpsed at my hair and face. He stopped at my chest. I guessed he didn’t want to be too obvious at what he wanted from me. With his heated glare there wasn’t a doubt from him or me what we wanted and needed that night. I was too shy and inexperienced to flirt, but he had none of those hangups and I was happy for it.

The bartender strode quickly over to where we stood and placed a shot glass in front of Cody. “Vodka,” Cody declared.

I didn’t drink then, but now was different. Drinking had caught up with me because of my loneliness and being away from Daniel.

“Then would you like to dance?” Daniel held out his hand. I glanced down then up at his face to see if he was serious, and yes, he was. “That is, if your boyfriend thinks it’s okay.” I glanced at Cody, but he was staring down the bartender as they traded glances. “I warn you, I aim to take you from your boyfriend.”

“It’s not necessary. I decide if I want to dance with someone, and Cody’s not my boyfriend. We’re friends. That’s all.”

Once Daniel heard this he took hold of my hand and headed to his office, and after he’d made love to me and I was breathless from his rough treatment, I managed to get back to the bar with Daniel in tow, to find Cody flirting with several men.

“Good, because I wondered who’d I have to kill to be with you,” Daniel said with a wink, and he reached for my hand to lead me onto the dance floor. “I had planned on just dancing with you, but you got in the way, that’s why I brought you to my office. I knew what you needed, and I wanted to be the one giving it to you tonight.” When he placed his arms around my waist, and I stood glaring at him, he added, “Don’t you know how to dance?”

“Of course, I do.”

“Then place your hands around my neck. I need to be close to you and smell your scent again. This time it smells different.” And so did he. It was filled with musk that belonged to me, liquor and cum from both of us. At the time I didn’t know what he wanted, so I smiled and did what he asked. I thought he wanted a one and done. We danced off and on most of the night, laughed and talked, sitting in the back of his club at his private booth, and when the place closed down, I glanced around looking for Cody, but he’d gone. He didn’t say anything, but I guessed he found what he was looking for, just as I had.

“Do you have to be home tonight?” Daniel leaned over and whispered into my ear, sending chills throughout my body, promising more to come.

“No. Why?”

“Would you come home with me? I promise if you don’t want to stay the night, I’ll send you home in a cab, or my car.”

His car. Now that impressed me, and I couldn’t wait to see his apartment. I thought,Why not have an adventure for once?Everyone saw me with this man, so if anything went wrong, but I couldn’t think like that.Nothing will go wrong,I thought as I stepped into his enormous apartment. “Do you live alone?”

“Yes, of course,” he said, dropping his keys, then moving close to me and staring. He pushed away a stray strand of my hair. “You are so pretty. What are you, twenty-five? Not a teenager, but...” He leaned in, took my face in his palms, and kissed my lips. It was a soft kiss with trained lips that had kissed before. Not like my lips waiting to be kissed.

He pulled back and passed his warm tongue over my bottom lip, and my mouth parted for it. When we separated, he kissed my neck as he raked his fingers through my hair and sniffed at my shoulder blade.

“You don’t have on any deodorant.”

“No, I don’t,” I said nervously. “You see, I rushed out of my apartment after a shower. It was on the spur of the minute I decided to go with Cody.” He placed his finger on my lips to stop my endless chatter, and excuses about not wearing something he cared little if nothing about.

When I thought he’d scold me for not putting on some, he said, “Take off your shirt.” I wanted to please him, and he placed his hand on the bottom of my tee and helped me raise my shirt over my head. He stopped and with my arms straight up, confined by my sleeves, and covering my face, he repeated the same action in his office, I discovered I’d enjoyed not seeing, but feeling his hands roam over me. This heightened my arousal and I felt sensual and sexy.

I felt his warm mouth on my nipples, and I moaned with pleasure as my senses took hold of me, and my desire for more of the same. Unable to see, my senses came alive, and all I could do was feel his tongue as it passed over my taut nipple, then he began sucking it hard and pinching my right nipple and my cock roared to life and began weeping with pre-cum.

Next, he licked under my arms, and my body shuddered and trembled. He began sniffing my armpit one after the other as he cupped his cock. I hurried and pulled the shirt over my head, and glanced down at him, at my cock hard with pre-cum threatening, then he unzipped my jeans and, in my rush, to get out of the house, I didn’t bring any condoms, not expecting to use them, of course. He held on to my cock and squeezed it in his palms as he reached for my balls and squeezed while asking for a safe word. I gave none. I felt nothing but intense arousal that consumed me from my head to my feet.

The pain wasn’t there, because I had a high threshold for pain.

“You’re more than what I’m looking for. Now that’s sexy, because I didn’t expect that.” Once more I tried to explain what it was about me and pain, but he placed his finger to his nose and then over my lip. He held out his hand after I stepped out of my jeans. I wore no socks. Daniel took my hand, turned to me, and said, “By the way, I’m Daniel. I thought I’d introduce myself because we will be seeing each other again, I promise you.

He reached into his pocket, and brought out a key.
