I listen hard for sounds of anything happening down the hall, but I don’t hear anything. So I was just dreaming. I could have dreamt about anything in the world, but I chose to have a dream where the man who bought me from my father as payment for his gambling debts was in bed with another woman, and I was jealous.
“What is wrong with me?” I groan and shift in bed, and as I do, I’m suddenly aware that the cotton of my panties is soaking wet. “Wha…?”
I reach down and feel between my thighs, which are burning hot. In fact, my entire body is, and the image of Sterling, naked beneath that woman I dreamt up is burned into my mind as if it’s been branded there.
In fact, I’m tingling all over. My nipples are hard and scraping against the inside of my bra, and there’s a simply uncomfortable sensation all over me that I can’t shake.
There’s no mistaking it; I’m horny.
“You’ve got to be kidding me,” I say with a heavy sigh. I mean, of course I know Sterling is a good-looking guy. I knew that when I first saw him standing in my living room. But it’s just wrong for me to be attracted to him like this…isn’t it?
But then again, it was wrong for my dad to gamble away everything we had at a mob casino too…
I don’t know; this is a very conflicting situation, and all I know is that my base desires are telling me that I’m very attracted to a very bad man, and I don’t know what to do about it.
Suddenly, there’s a soft knock at the door, but before I can respond, it opens, and Sterling enters, shirtless, with his hair a mess, looking so unbelievably sexy that I can barely even stand it.
“Oh, good, you’re up,” he says, a slight smile on his lips, his voice low and sultry. He’s wearing only a pair of briefs that show off an incredible eight pack and the fact that he doesn’t skip leg day at the gym.
They also don’t hide the incredible bulge he’s got going either as he walks slowly toward the bed.
“Yeah, I just woke up. I had a—a dream… What are you—?”
“Couldn’t sleep,” he says as he takes a seat beside me. The soft glow coming in through the window highlights his muscles, and I can’t help but trace their lines with my eyes, his bulging shoulders down to his triceps to his thick forearms and enormous hands.
“Y-yeah?” I whisper.
He reaches out and brushes my hair with his fingers, sending an instant buzzing effect through me.
Has he seen me do that before? How does he know I love that?
“Yeah.” He smiles. “I had to see you, Leia. Knowing you were just down the hall from me…It was just too much for me to handle.”
His brown eyes shine as he stares at me from less than a foot away. I can feel the intensity between us, like an electricity that we can both touch. Surely he sees my hard nipples, the gleam on my skin from my sweat, the submissive look on my face that I can’t suppress. Surely he knows how I’m feeling right now. I couldn’t hide it if I wanted to.
“Sterling, I—”
“I know what you’re thinking, Leia,” Sterling says. “You’re thinking you can’t want this. You can’t want me because I’m the man who bought you from your father as a payment for his debts. But you can, Leia.”
My heart is racing. He knows I want him. He knows exactly what I’m thinking right now.
“I can?” I whimper.
“You can.” He nods. “All you have to do is listen to yourself. Listen to what your body is telling you and go through with it.”
He leans in, close…so close, lips slightly apart like he’s going to kiss me. But he stops, a hair’s breadth from making contact.
He’s waiting for me.
But I can’t. I can’t. I simply can’t make that last move to commit.
“I…You’re right,” I whisper. “But you have to do it.”
Sterling’s lips curl into a hint of a smile.
And then he kisses me.

Sterling
I feel a growing warmth in my chest as I kiss her, lapping hungrily at her tongue with mine. I want to eat her up. Christ, I want to devour her. I have since the moment I saw her, and every moment I’ve spent with her since then has only caused that feeling to grow.
Her perfect body is trembling. She’s nervous about doing this with me, and I understand why. But that’s not going to stop me. I’ve got my lips on her now, and there’s no way I’m letting go.
My cock is at full mast beneath my pants, throbbing with animalistic desire. When I saw her in the dressing room, it took every bit of will power I had not to take her right then and there.
