That was one of the many nice things about being as rich as we were: we could outsource the tasks we didn’t like.

We picked out two pre-prepared meals, a salmon and rice dish for me and a beef and mashed potatoes dish for Sadie and popped them in the microwave. While we waited, I cut up a few slices of bread and some cheese to go with the meal, and Sadie set the table and got us sodas and waters to drink.

It was nice working together in the kitchen. Domestic.

The weather was still dark and stormy, perfect for a lazy afternoon, so Sadie and I decided to eat our meals on the couch and watch some more episodes ofMy Name is Earl.An hourlater Sadie was fast asleep, her head on my shoulder. It wasn’t long until I fell asleep too.

Sadie

Iwoke up on the couch, pressed up against Ariel’s side. She’d fallen asleep too, sitting up with her head propped up against a throw pillow. On the TV,My Name is Earlplayed on.

Ariel looked so beautiful sleeping, her dark hair spread out around her, face soft and relaxed. Of course she’d also looked beautiful riding my hand and thrashing with the force of her orgasm.

My mind wandered back to our earlier conversation. I hadn’t known Ariel for long, not really, but it was already obvious that she was a little over the top. Impulsive. Impetuous. I assumed she wasn’t like that when she was in the business world. Or maybe she was, what did I know about business?

The scary thing was that when she asked me to stay, said she wanted to keep me, I’d wanted nothing more than to agree with her. I was falling for Ariel, falling fast, but I’d learned a hard lesson about falling into relationships too quickly. Ariel seemed great, but so had Jane, at least when we first got together, and I was still healing from the emotional scars of that relationship.

Ariel woke up a little while later, looking adorably rumpled. Somehow she convinced me to go down to her private gym and do yoga. We set out some purple mats and Ariel put on an on-demand class that she said was suitable for beginners. I’d never done yoga before, but Ariel assured me that it was particularly helpful for people with physical jobs like me.

It turned out that I liked yoga. It was a little distracting at first, watching Ariel gracefully moving from pose to pose while wearing her tight little yoga pants and an equally tight tank top. But eventually I tuned her out enough to focus on my own practice, and to my surprise, I really enjoyed it. I couldn’t believe how good my body felt when we were done.

“God, my back feels so much better now,” I told Ariel as we rolled up our purple mats. “I’ve had a kink in it ever since I started staying at the shelter.”

Ariel’s eyes hardened and I knew she was dying to say something about the events that led me to staying in the shelter, but I was too relaxed to think about Jane right now.

“What do you usually do on Sunday nights?” I asked quickly, rolling up my mat and putting it back on the shelf.

“I usually do a little work,” she said. “I like to get a jump on my Monday.”

“Do you work every day?” I asked curiously.

“Well, not all day, but usually there’s too much to do during the week, so I have to put in some hours on the weekend.”

“I have a better idea.”

Ariel looked at me. “What?”

“Let’s read in bed.”

“Read in bed?” Ariel repeated, as if she’d never heard the idea before.

“Right after I eat you for dinner.”

Her eyes widened as I added, “Race you.”

We hurried upstairs, tearing off our clothes as we headed into Ariel’s bedroom. I hopped onto the bed, then laid on my back.

“Come sit on my face,” I instructed.

“I think it’s your turn,” Ariel said.

“You first. I’m dying to taste you.”

She strolled over like she had all the time in the world, then moved to straddle my head. As soon as she lowered her body I gripped her hips and started moving my tongue through her folds.

“Sadie!”

Ariel ground herself against my face, but I could tell she needed more. I focused my attention on her clitoris, sucking the little bud into my mouth and adding pressure until she exploded above me with a gasp. I licked and teased her with my tongue as she shuddered her way through her orgasm, finally collapsing beside me with her eyes tightly closed.
