“You asked me earlier where I’m staying.” He pulled me by the hand until I was standing flush against him.
“I did,” I said. I knew what he was getting at and I knew that I was going to say yes. It didn’t matter that I’d never had a one-night stand. Something about this man was addictive. I needed more of his touch.
“Would you like me to show you?”

The Dragon's Treasured Mate

Tahir and I entered my apartment and I locked the door behind us. I’d installed a security chain since Manny’s last visit, so that I could answer the door without anyone pushing their way in. I slid it into place, then slipped off my shoes. 


Tahir looked at the lock, but didn’t ask me about it. I was grateful for that. 


“Would you like a drink?” I asked. 


I had cheap wine and beer and I didn’t take Tahir to be a day drinker, but you never knew. He seemed very annoyed about the armlet situation, so maybe a drink would help him take the edge off. 


He was looking around the apartment. Despite Kim’s rearranging and additions to the decor, my apartment still wasn’t much to look at. I probably should be a little embarrassed about inviting a billionaire back to such a humble abode, but I wasn’t.
