This is my opening. My chance.Take it, Nev, take it!
“How about a little proposition?” I blurt out before I lose my nerve.
His mouth turns up in a half-smile. “I thought we already signed the contract.” He winks, and I ignore it.Stop being cute. I’m supposed to find you annoying.
“Turn off that ego of yours for five seconds, will ya?” I snap, my voice a little harsher than I intended. His eyesflash, but the smile doesn’t leave his face. With a deep breath, Iask the questionthat’sbeen on my mind all week. “If you promise to be on your best behavior and stay out of the headlines, maybe we can have some fun with each other.”
His mouth dropsopen, buthe recovers quickly, slamming it closed and sitting back against the couch. “Uh, wow. I wasn’t expecting that.”
“What were you expecting?” I ask, amused that I threw him off.
Luca shifts in his seat, andI bite back my grin.Hook, line, and sinker. Men are so easy. Mention sex and they’re putty in your hands.
“I don’tknow, but it definitely wasn’t that. So let’s get this straight. You’re talking casual sex, right? Like no strings attached or—”
“Correct,” I interrupt him. This part needs to be especially clear. “No stringswhatsoever. I don’t want a relationship with you. We can hardly stand each other. But sex, sex is a different story.”
Luca’s eyes are so wide I’m afraid they might pop out of their sockets, but he blinks once and regains his cocky composure. “I can handle it. But can you?”
Probablynot, but fuck if he needs to know that. “I wouldn’t be asking if I couldn’t. I have a lot riding on your sponsorship, more than I’d care to admit. And I need you on your best behavior for the rest of the season. It’s a win-winforeveryone, really. You do well, we enjoy sex together, and everyone’s happy. And making money.”
Hedoesn’t say anything, and as the silence grows, regret creeps in. Maybe I shouldn’t have asked. This is crazy. It’s all crazy. Where’s Mel when I need her? Though I doubt she’s the best choice. She’ll tell me to go ahead with thiscraziness,which is probably why I am. I mean, it could. It should work out. It’s a genius plan. And if everything goes according to said genius plan, then I shouldn’t need to worry. But does anything in life ever go according to plan?Fuck,I’m rambling. I wish he would just answer me already instead of sitting there staring a hole through me.
I can’t take the silence anymore. I decide to take matters into my own hands and show him what he’s missing if he says no. Something comes over me, whether it be determination or maybe it’s simply just wanting to show him who’s boss. I don’tknow,but I go with it. I grasp onto the feeling inside me and use it to stand and walk over to where he’s sitting. Placing a hand on each of his shoulders, I straddle his lap.
His scent makes me dizzy and so fucking turned on. I ignore the cocky smirk he’s wearing and push his shoulders against the back of the couch, hard. Pinning him there so he can’t move, I feel his hands grab my ass. He smacks one cheek while squeezing theotherand my legs sink farther down as heat floods through me.
And then I kiss his sexy, cocky, stupid mouth until I can no longer breathe.
He responds by deepening the kiss and sliding his tongue inside, a soft moan escaping from somewhere inside him. I grind against his hips, pushing up with my knees and back down again. Luca’s hands squeeze my ass cheeks, hisfingertipsbrushing the bottom curve of bare skin under pajama shorts.
When Luca’s hands slip beneath the sheer fabric, a hot chill runs up my spine, and my skin breaks out in goose bumps. I stop grinding as he moves higher, teasing and rubbing and squeezing. He breaks our kiss and drags his hot, wet mouth along my skin, nipping with his teeth. “Fuck, this curvy ass, girl. It fucking drives me crazy.”
A rush of heat bursts through me from his words. His hands continue their pleasurable assault on my ass while his mouth explores my neck. I dig my nails into his shoulders, the muscles taut under my fingers. My head is thrown back in pleasure, and my eyes are squeezed shut. So many sensations pulse through me, over and over. We aren’t even fucking yet, and it feels this good.
Cool air hits my ass cheeks as myPJbottoms slip down to my knees. I feel Luca’s hands beneath me, fumbling with the zipper on his jeans. In one swift movement, Luca lifts me with one hand around my waist as the other quickly pulls his jeans down. How hemanages to liftme and himselfandget his pants down baffles me, but it’s also hot as fuck.
“I don’t have a condom, but I’m clean. As much as my reputation says otherwise, I don’t sleep around.” Luca tightens his grip on my waist as I hover above his hard cock, now standing tall beneath me, inches away from my bare pussy. He’s looking in my eyes, his dark ones even darker and glazed with pleasure. No cocky smirk, no joking grin to be found, only pure lust pumping between us.
At that moment, I believe him. He looks so sincere, so lost in the pleasure between us, like he’s dying for another taste. I nod and bite down on my bottom lip before popping it back out again. He notices, and his grip tightens, surely leaving markson my skin. Fuck if I care.
He can mark me however hewants, and I’ll only crawl back for more.
As soon as I give him the go-ahead, he acts, slamming me down onto his cock as I cry out, a mixture of pain and pleasure filling me from top to bottom.
I drown myself in it, drown out the reasoning thoughts, and lose myself completely in whatever is happening between us.

Luca
Her warm breathtickles my chest, her sweet smell invading my nose. Her chest rises and falls in a slow, steady rhythm as she sleeps.
She was out soon after her last orgasm, her body spent from the rigorous exercise I’ve put her through all day. Hey, offer a manhot sexwith a fine-ass woman? Fucking damn straight I’m gonna take it.
We don’t have to like each other. The hate sex or whatever the fuck we have going on is mind-blowing, so why not? All I have to do is behave? Easy, considering what my distraction will be.Her.
I needed to end the bullshit, anyway. Now I have a good reason to. And on top of it all—sex with no strings attached? Um, hello. It’s a guy's dream. A guy’swetdream, if we’re being real.
