G-Men: The Series (97 page)

“Men do it all the time.”

“Yeah, and most of us are fucking assholes for it.”

“I don’t intend to have my heart broken or anything else for that matter, now tell me who you’re in love with, please.”

He shrugged, walking towards the bathroom. “Only the hottest guy at the reception. We’re meeting in thirty for a drink at the bar. His name is Cain Maddox. Sexy, right?”

“Cain?” I replied. “I hope
that’s
not indicative of anything dark. Was he a guest?”

“No-no, he was the great looking guy that was overseeing the catering for the reception. You know the one? He has that younger version of Antonio Banderas’s look going on?”

I nodded, as if I knew exactly who he was referring to, when the truth was that I was completely clueless.

“Well, enjoy and don’t do anything tonight I wouldn’t do.” I playfully tousled his hair with my hand and I breezed past him.

He shook his head, giving me one of his all-American, hot guy smiles. I smiled back and left, heading to the elevator, still feeling relatively confident as I entered and pushed the button for the top floor.

I wondered what the Presidential Suite at the St. Regis had to offer tonight besides some fantastic cock. I giggled out loud at the prospect, and then quickly looked around and above me for the security cameras. Yep, there they were. Lucky for me they couldn’t read minds. I smiled, stepping out of the elevator into the massive hallway of the “top floor”.

Sweet Jesus! It certainly looked different than the hallway on our floor. It was polished black marble with flecks of gold sprinkled throughout; the walls were papered with very expensive looking, sound-proofing wall coverings.

The ‘Presidential Suite’ was at the very end of the hallway, its set of double-doors facing the hall. It was probably the biggest of the suites.

Once again, the butterflies surged in anticipation of what lay behind those doors and what was to come once I passed through them.

~ Easton ~

I was still drying off in the bath suite from my hot, then cold shower. That was a routine with me; always starting with extremely hot water, then finishing with cold to get me energised again. I was fucking jet-lagged as hell, but there was no way I was passing up spending time with sexy little Nicole tonight.

My now-dry cock twitched in response to where my mind had drifted. I wrapped a towel around my waist and took another one to my damp hair, rubbing furiously at it until it was at least semi-dry before Nicole graced my threshold. I had two nights in D.C. and I sure as hell was going to make the best of them with her. As much as my instincts told me to leave the girl alone, my cock had made the decision for me.

I was a man of varied tastes. This pertained to wines, liqueurs, gourmet food, clothing and most importantly, female companionship. The diversity in my tastes for female companionship was endless. I enjoyed white, black, Latino, Asian—hell, I’d tasted them all. I was enamored with American women as well, but the bulk of my time recently had been spent in London where my activities had been pretty much limited to Lacee, my executive assistant.

Don’t get me wrong, I love saucy, British women, but unfortunately, Lacee had become somewhat “territorial” over the past few months, so my supply had dwindled down to her alone. I knew that was her intent. I was well aware of the fact that Lacee had been intimidating other potential contenders for my attention. I’d said nothing because it amused me—briefly, though now it was just fucking annoying.

Lacee had grown prickly since I first laid eyes on Nicole and with good reason. She had sense enough to see that I wouldn’t be satisfied ignoring the dark-haired, sultry beauty for long. Hell, she saw it first-hand on the beach that day. After the unfortunate incident at Taz’s rehearsal dinner the other night, Lacee became downright insubordinate with me. It was just as well that I sent her on to New York, where I’d be going once my business in D.C. was concluded.

I’d made no secret to Lacee that my interest in her was purely physical. She’d known that going into our little “fuck” arrangement. I don’t change rules mid-stream. Ever. I don’t do relationships anymore, either. Not since the fiasco two years ago with Bianca Templeton had left me picking up the pieces of shattered trust. Notice I didn’t say heart? That’s because I don’t have one that’s breakable. My upbringing saw to that.

A knock sounded at the door of my suite. Still wrapped in my towel, I opened it to the sexy little prick-tease that stood there waiting.

“Good evening,” I grinned unabashedly, my cock stirring beneath the towel. Her lovely blue eyes flickered down my bare chest, noticing the towel hanging low on my hips. I smirked a little when her eyes returned to my face, noting the sudden blush she was now wearing.

“I take it you’re not into wasting time with having to undress, huh Easton?” she said with an impudent smile curving her full lips.

Fuck me. This one definitely has a little bite to her.

She breezed past me in the doorway, taking a few steps further down the marbled hallway to the matching foyer.

“Now, this is nice,” she commented, nodding her head. She was wearing a sweater and short, tight skirt that had my cock at half-mast already.

Christ that ass of hers is fucking epic. I’ll have to show her how hard an ass like that should be ridden later.

“If you’ll excuse me, Nicole,” I said, giving her an apologetic smile. “I seemed to have lost track of time. Make yourself comfortable in the living room please. I won’t be long.”

“It’s
Darcy
, remember?”

I moved in front of her and gazed down through my lashes, lifting a lock of her dark, brown hair from her shoulder, fingering the silky texture between my fingers. She was looking at me with just a tinge of defiance.

“To me, it’s Nicole. Allow me that single liberty, won’t you?” I watched as her eyebrows arched ever-so-slightly, not sure if this was a sincere request or some form of humour I was displaying. I didn’t possess a sense of humour. She’d learn that quickly as well.

“I have a feeling there’ll be many more liberties you require,” she replied. “But hey, whatever floats your boat, I guess,” she said with a shrug, no longer concerned about it being an issue. A good indication it was all about the sex with her as well. She sauntered through the foyer and made herself comfortable on the over-stuffed, velvet sofa in the living room.

I returned to my bedroom on the opposite side of the foyer and finished dressing, pulling on a pair of comfortable jeans and a white, long-sleeved shirt. I wasn’t putting socks and shoes on at this stage. Hell, what was the point? We’d be having “break-in” sex within a matter of twenty minutes, by my estimation.

But first, I wanted to learn just a bit more about her. Remember, by definition “man-whore,” does not automatically constitute indiscriminate behaviour. I prided myself on conducting due diligence litmus testing prior to sexual interaction. Shortly after dressing, I went to the sideboard in the living room and poured each of us a glass of sherry. Nicole had put some music on in my absence: classical. I approved.

She accepted the glass of sherry from me and I noticed she’d shed the boots and was now barefoot as well. She had her legs folded to the side of her on the sofa, leaning in towards the centre.

“Thank you,” she whispered, putting on a somewhat shy and demure persona now. I unsuccessfully stifled a chuckle.

“What?” she asked, straightening herself up, quickly rebuilding that defensive wall.

“It’s nothing, relax,” I replied, taking a seat next to her, propping my legs on the coffee table in front of us. “I’m simply in awe of your chameleon-like temperament.”

“Thank you.”

“It’s a gift the way you manage to blend in at any social situation. You must know that.” I could tell she wasn’t convinced.

“Well, maybe it’s time to suspend the
chameleon-like
behavior then,” she replied, “I know why I’m here, Easton. Let’s not waste time with this whole seduction-scene you’ve got going on. I think you’ve figured out by now I’m pretty much of a sure thing tonight.”

“Aren’t you being a tad presumptuous, love?” I asked, raising an eyebrow.

“I don’t think so. You grabbed my ass during photos, then invited me to your suite at midnight after asking me for a slow dance, answered your door wearing a
towel
, and poured me a drink. And I’m still here. Now, are you going to unzip my skirt, or are we going to talk about the weather?”

I had to laugh at her genuineness with me, again extremely refreshing. “Well I appreciate your candidness for sure. But there are a few preliminary pieces of information I need from you.”

She rolled her eyes, downed the rest of her sherry and sighed. “Yes, I
am
on birth control and yes, I still
expect
you to use a condom. Are we good? Because I’m about to lose my buzz here.”

“Not quite,” I replied, setting my glass down on the table and turning to her. “I’ll need your complete sexual history: names, approximate dates, types of sexual activities involved. I hope you don’t think that’s invasive. I prefer to think it’s circumspect.”

I watched her eyes widen as she considered what I was asking. Yep, there it was. She was starting a slow burn. She was on her feet instantly, giving me an incredulous glare.

“What the fuck? Is it customary for you to grill your one-night stands on their sexual history? Or maybe you’re just used to chicks like Lacee, who practically carry a certified copy around with them in their handbag or wallet—you know—
just in case
they have the
honor
of doing Easton Matthews.”

I fisted my hands at my sides, trying to control the urge to lay her, along with her impudence across my knee for a lesson in comportment; but at the same time…I felt a smile twitching in the corner of my lips.

“What makes you so certain this will be a one-night stand?” I asked quietly, my eyes boring into hers. She shifted nervously now, taking a half-step back from where I sat, unsure of how to answer, clearly confused.

I rose slowly from the sofa, and approached her carefully, so as not to clue her in to the fact that she was, indeed, my prey for the night and possibly for the rest of the weekend. It wouldn’t do to have her bolt on me now.

“Do you remember when I told you that I’d see you again?” I asked softly. “When I had you pressed up against the wall, and you had just come on my fingers?”

She swallowed nervously, biting her lower lip and nodded affirmatively. Her eyes were smoldering at the recollection; this was my signal to close this deal.

“I meant it,” I stated, our lips nearly touching.

I encircled her stiff body with my arms, drawing her against me. I raised my hands, framing her beautiful face as I lowered my lips to hers, capturing them in a sweet, tender kiss. So far, she wasn’t resisting, but I needed more. I continued to caress her lips with mine, tracing her bottom lip with my tongue, drinking in her heady scent. I felt her body relax against mine and, soon, her arms were snaked around my neck, her body molded to mine.

My tongue explored her mouth, our tongues melded together in an erotic ritual that was bringing my cock to
full
attention.

The things I wanted to do to this woman.

I lowered my arms and she allowed my hands to gently massage the swell of her perfect ass. Pulling her tightly against me, I let her feel my hard cock and she began to slowly move her hips rhythmically against it as I heightened our kiss, angling her mouth so that I could lick deeper.

When I slowly began to pull away, leaving her gasping and wide-eyed, I raised a hand to the nape of her neck.

“So then,” I moved my lips to the soft place just below her ear. “Is my prerequisite a deal breaker or not, Nicole?”

She was only hesitant for a nanosecond before responding. Her voice was low and husky as she looked up at me with those incredibly blue eyes. “I’d feel better writing it down. Can I have a piece of paper?”
