[Brandon's POV]

I was taken aback by her unexpected confession. As I looked at her smiling face, her eyes glimmered foolishly, I knew this very moment that what she said was true.

But I couldn't possibly love her back. It couldn't be. It was never my intention to make her fall head over heels for me. I wasn't able to brief her with my sole rule.

No strings attached.

I should have warned her about it, now it was too late. She was sighing dreamily at me waiting for my reply.

For a moment I spoke none. I ran out of words and I witnessed the lines of worry starting to crumple her pretty face.

"Did I surprise you?" She asked, her eyes wide with worry.

I cleared my throat and tried to collect myself together.

"Yes, a little." I managed to answer after finally finding my voice. I replaced the ointment into the kit and put it back inside the cupboard.

"Then what's your answer?" She asked innocently that furthered my discomfort.

If a mature woman was in the room instead, she would definitely take my silence as a sign of unreciprocated love but this inexperience little wench sitting on the stool, watching me with expectant eyes was unlike anyone else.

"I'm certain during this romantic moment the guy ought to reply, say something," She said flushing.

Her expression was of a clueless little girl. Immediately, I was on the hot seat and I had no idea how to placate her once I told her I didn't feel the same way.

I wished to tell her the truth now but my access to her body each night would be at risk. She would definitely refuse to get laid by a man who didn't love her back.

Instead of answering I moved closer and bent over her.

"We're perfect in bed," I murmured hotly instead against her mouth and claimed her for a torrid deep kiss that awakened my resting cock. I lifted her against me, her arms came around my neck, and felt every inch of her small frame pressed against mine.

She kissed me back ferociously and we shared another moment tasting and biting each other's mouth.

"I don't wanna go yet but I need to take a shower. I have a business meeting this morning." I murmured lazily as I trailed wet kisses along her jawline. She breathed heavily. She appeared to forget about the reply she was expecting from me.

"Then stay," She said. "I'll do anything to pleasure you. I'll dance in front of you in the room if you want."

"But I have to go." I sucked at her neck for a lovebite. Then tried to pull away. She resisted and wrapped her sexy legs around me.Through my jogging pants, I could feel her heat. My mouth dried.
