"You say your mansion is quiet, but I bet you have tons of women over.”
“No.” I shook my head. "No woman has gone there. I have an apartment in Roppongi for that. Or sometimes. . .I put the woman up in the Four Seasons as you know."
“As I know?” Nyomi frowned. "So, the Four Seasons Suite is your hoe pad?"
"It is not my hoe pad."
She gave me a look. "Kenji."
"It’s a nice suite."
"Don’t tell me it’s the same suite every time."
"No. And even if it was the same suite, there is housekeeping, Tora."
“Oh hell no.”
“Tora, this is a nice suite—”
“I’m glad I never stepped foot in that room. Because I’m not one of your women—”
“No. You’re the reason I’ll never need another woman.”
She narrowed her eyes. "If I’d found out I was sleeping in your hoe pad, you wouldn’t have gotten another date. In fact. . .I’m taking some points away from your score right now."
I leaned in, slow and close, until there was barely space between our mouths. “You can pretend to take points away fromme, naughty Tiger. You can play the game of indignation. But let’s not lie to each other—not tonight.”
“There is no lie in my statement.”
“Hoe pad or not, you would have given me a second date.” I brushed the back of my fingers across her jaw, savoring the way her breath caught. “You knew from the moment of our first kiss that you had already surrendered.”
“Yet. . .” Her lashes fluttered, but she didn’t look away. “I can say no.”
A wicked smile spread across my face. “This lovely city that you’re in is mine.”
“I’m aware of that.”
“And everything within my city listens to me. Everyone obeys.”
“Except me.”
“Let us hope we never have to test that.”
“Youbetter hope we don’t have to test that.”
“My Tiger and her very sharp claws.”
“It’s not claws. I just have the right to say no, and you will listen.”
“I will not listen. It’s just your mouth, but. . .” I slipped my gaze down to her breasts. “I will always, obey your body before I ever obey your words. And your body—your pupils, your breath, the way your legs shift when I speak like this—has never once whisperednoto me.”
She smirked. “So, you’re a body whisperer now?”
“Yes. And I hear your pussy.”
“She talks to you?”
“No, Tora. Shecallsto me.” I closed the tiny distance and brushed my lips just barely across her cheek. “And tonight, I will answer her.”
