Everyone believed I was Bradley Hunter's one and only love.
Appearing ascetic, he could make me climax seven times in one night. Because he worried that birth control pills might harm my body, he didn't hesitate to get a vasectomy.

Jason has been in an extremely good mood lately.


I know the Hunter Group has been suffering setbacks due to his behind-the-scenes machinations.


The public outcry against Selena for impersonating me is also most likely his handiwork.


A warm feeling welled up inside me, and I couldn't help but plant a hot, moist kiss on his neck:
