| didn’t say a word, just looked up at him, my eyes full of longing, making no effort to hide it.
Edward let out a helpless, indulgent laugh and gave my waist a teasing squeeze. “So, who's the real liar here?”
“Me!” | confessed right away, grinning without a hint of shame.
Edward's eyes sparkled with even more amusement as he pinched my chin. “Honestly, | just can’t win with you.”
| leaned in and pressed a kiss right on his Adam's apple. That was clearly his weakness-he shuddered all over,
and in the next instant, he flipped the script, pinningdown with that irresistible, commanding energy of his.
An hour later, after a wild, intense session, | was lying in the bathtub, the warm water wrapping aroundlike a
cozy blanket, my body and mind blissfully relaxed.
| was so wiped out that | didn’t even want to move my fingers. | just let my arm rest on the edge of the tub,
leaned my head back, and let my long, dark hair spill softly down.

He crouched down behindand, with the utmost tenderness, tied up my long hair for me.
“Are you done with your bath?” Edward asked softly.

Edward kissed my forehead gently. “Alright, just holler if you need anything.”
After he left, | reached up and touched my head, realizing he'd actually been super thoughtful, tying my hair into

| thought it over. Edward was already successful, just turned thirty, and what he needed now was a woman who
could bring him emotional value-someone to have fun with, keep him company, and satisfy him in bed. And | just
happened to show up at exactly this stage of his life.
With that in mind, | stopped overthinking it. Marriage wasn’t for me, but having a good time? That, | could
definitely go for.
With a guy like Edward-handsome, rich, and at the top of his game, right in his golden years-if I'm not the one
keeping him company, he'll just find someone else to fill the spot, right?

After | finished my bath and cout, | saw Edward out on the balcony, talking on the phone. He looked pretty

Edward put his arm around my shoulders and whispered, “Mariah’s a really open-minded lady. Don’t worry, she

Edward nodded. “That's exactly what | told her too. She was cool with it, didn’t make a fuss.”
My heart skipped a beat. ‘Is Mrs. Sterling using this as a test for me?‘ | wondered.
