The Billionaire's Secret Mistress

              Angela woke up with absolutely no idea where she was.

              “Good morning, sleepyhead. It’s nearly noon.”

              Her head shot up at Dimitri’s voice. He stood in front of the bed, fully dressed and looking surprising fresh. He was holding a small tray.

              “Shit,” she squeaked as last night slowly came back to her. “Oh, shit.”

              He raised an eyebrow as he set the tray down on the bedside table. “Now, that’s a nice welcome.”

              “Good morning,” she whispered, her face flaming. She pulled the sheets up to her neck, wincing at the crinkle of satin. “Um, sorry for sleeping so late.”

              He sat on the edge of the bed and handed her a tall glass of tomato juice with two aspirins. “Good morning, yourself.” His eyes crinkled up in a smile. “I thought you could use this.”

              “Thanks,” she muttered, wincing as pain lanced through her head again. She popped the pills in her mouth and washed them down with a grateful swallow of juice. Her mouth felt parched and she drowned the glass in three more gulps. “Thanks,” she repeated, setting it down on the bedside table.

              His eyes crinkled up in amusement. “You said that already.”

              Angela smiled timidly at him. Her stomach suddenly gave an audible groan and Dimitri laughed.

              “Breakfast?” He stood up. “I didn’t know what you would like so I ordered some of everything.” He nodded towards the dining area. “It’s all set up in the dining room.”

              For the first time, Angela leaned over to peer through the open door. It was opulently decorated with a sleeping and dining area. She could even see a large circular living room, all done up in rich browns, dark reds, and gold.

              “This is a nice room,” she said as a lame attempt at conversation. “Um, is this the penthouse?”

              “The Presidential penthouse,” he said smoothly.

              “Last night was fun,” he whispered, kissing the corner of her mouth. “I’m not usually as raucous, though. I… apologize for my rather uncouth behavior. Especially involving the other girl.” He wrinkled his nose as he tried to recall the redhead’s name. “Whoever the hell she was,” he added with a small laugh.

              “It’s okay,” she said with a slight grin.

              He cupped her cheek, his fingers lingering on her skin. “Do you know that I’ve always had a thing for black girls?”

              “Do you now?” She whispered, nuzzling into his hand.

              “Yes. And I would really like to see you again.”

              “I would like that too, Dimitri. Very much.”

              His eyes suddenly darkened. “There’s something you need to know, though.” He laced his fingers through hers. “I can’t date you. I don’t do relationships. Especially not with someone from the office.”

              “What do you mean?”

              He cupped her face, pressing his lips to hers in a slow, languorous kiss. “I would like to fuck you again,” he whispered, running the very tip of his tongue around her mouth. “I want to be buried deep inside you again, baby. Feel that soft pussy open up for me.” He suddenly pulled back and looked at her, the smile vanishing from his face.

              A chill ran through her spine at the unexpected coldness in his face. “What’s wrong, Dimitri?”

              He forced a smile and shook his head. “Nothing. I would really like to see you again, Angela. But I won’t sugarcoat it for you. For reasons that I can’t delve into… I just can’t date you. I can’t be your boyfriend. We can hang out, have sex, go to the occasional dinner… but please don’t expect more from me, Angie.” His eyes were almost pleading as he looked at her.

              Angela searched his gaze but found nothing there. His face was closed, blank almost, giving nothing away.

              “Can I ask why?” She finally asked.

              “No.” He kissed the inside of her wrist. “Let’s just leave it at that. And I would also appreciate it if we could leave our…
affair
out of the office.”

              She shuddered as his lips traveled up her wrist, slowly kissing her inner arm, moving higher and higher, his lips skimming past the side of her breast to land on her bare shoulder. A faint moan escaped her lips as he bit down on her, marking her black skin with prominent teeth marks. Her fingers knotted in his hair, tugging lightly on the strands as his mouth explored her neck, sucking and nibbling on an acutely sensitive area.

              “What do you say, baby?” He whispered, pushing the sheets down and brushing his lips down to her breasts.

              “What… what do I say to what?” She groaned, unable to halt the fierce assault of sensations that ravaged her body.

              “To our…
arrangement.
” He captured one hard, nipple between his lips, sucking in his cheeks to draw it deeper into her mouth.

              “Oh…” She closed her eyes and lay back in bed, allowing herself to be swept away by his erotic ministrations. “Oh, yes…”
