engaging in risky, condomless sex.  
    “Fuck!” He pulls out, pushes my bottom against the bed, and sprays my belly and tits with his juices.
    “Did you come?” he asks, breathing heavily.
    I frown. “What was that?”
    “Did you come or not?”  
    “Of course not…”
    By the way he’s behaving, I expect him to say good, put his pants back on, and leave me unfulfilled. Belmont’s gaze rolls up and down my nakedness.  
    “One second,” he says and retrieves a towel out of the bathroom. He wipes my stomach then digs his fingers carefully into my pussy. “You’re still wet.” His thumb rolls around my clit, and his fingers thrust into me.  
    He watches my stomach muscles roll as sensations surge under the hood of my pubis. Belmont is an expert at this. I bite my bottom lip, arch my back, and let myself enjoy how good it feels. He bends over to suck my bottom lip into his mouth, then my top one.
    Belmont breathes heavily. “Shit...”  
    He stimulates me faster. I run my fingers through his hair and grip his scalp as he bites and licks my nipples. I let him hear me when my walls pulsate around his fingers.
    “Daisy, baby,” he mutters and prods me faster to make my orgasm last.  
    I release the tension in my body when the sensation subsides.
    Belmont takes his fingers out of me. “I didn’t know you were in town.”  
    I swallow the lump in my throat. “I believe you.”
    “I’ve been waiting for you to call.” He stands and puts on his pants. “I don’t like that guy—Dexter. If you want to work in TV, I’ll talk to Vince.”
    I groan. It’s the same old, same old. “Screw you, Belmont.” I roll off the bed, go to the wardrobe, and put on a robe.
    “Do you like him or something?”
    “Don’t insinuate things. We met for the first time today. But you don’t get to walk out on me and then control me too.”
    He opens his mouth but studies me instead. He picks his coat up off the floor. “If I had known you would be at that restaurant, I would’ve chosen a different one. I didn’t want to see you until you made the first move.”
    I roll my eyes. “That’s ridiculous.”
    I think he’s surprised by my brashness. “Come here?”
    I recognize the way he’s looking at me, so I shake my head and plant my feet. He looks stunned. I hardly ever say no to him.
    “You want to know why I haven’t called you?” I ask. “It’s because you’re entitled.”
    “Entitled?”
    “You’re Hubbell Gardiner.”
    “Who the hell is Hubbell Gardiner?”
    “He’s a character in a movie, The Way We Were . And it’s not your fault. You’re good-looking and rich—a valuable commodity in our society. You walk out on me. You get a new girlfriend. You want to screw me, so I let you. Everything comes too easy for you.”
    Belmont flings his coat onto the sofa as he walks over to stand in front of me. “Stacy’s not my mistress. We’re friends, and she’s working with me. I’m in Chicago because an investor here is selling off prime real estate to the highest bidder. But if money was all it took, I would’ve negotiated from the Vineyard. That’s where I’ve been living for the past four months.”
    I’m not willing to let him off the hook so easily. “Then why did you take her to the wedding?”
    He shrugs. “I didn’t want to go alone.”
    “Have you ever had sex with her?”
    Belmont’s eyes shift.  
    “Don’t lie to me,” I warn him.
    “Not since I met you.” I try to walk away from him, but he grabs and embraces me. “It would be a hell of a lot easier to love her.”  
    I try to pull away from him again, but he hugs me tighter. He’s hard again.  
    “Daisy,” he whispers, “don’t deny me, please.”
    “Do I ever?” I sound disappointed in myself.
    “You could if you want.”
    “I thought you were leaving?”
    “Do you want me to go?”
    I stare into his eyes. Belmont is here in the flesh . Four and a half months without him felt like a very long time spent in
