Chapter 18: No Cameras

The finale party ended at midnight, and Demi was out of the ballroom before the last toast.

Drake found her on the balcony of the lakeside hotel, with the trophy still under her arm and her shoes in her hand.

"You left the cake," he said.

"I left the people holding the cake."

"Fair."

He stood beside her at the rail and said nothing for a while.

The lake lay black below them, with the stage lights still burning on the far shore.

"I said I would check the ledger," Demi said.

"And?"

"You lost forty-two million, and then ninety-one. You never sent me a bill."

"I was not planning to."

She set the trophy on the rail and turned to face him.

"Nobody has ever given me anything and not wanted something back," she said. "I want to know what you want."

Drake did not look away.

"You," he said. "On any terms you choose. For one night or for as long as you will have me."

Her heart did something it had not done in two lives.

"Then come inside," she said.

His suite was on the top floor.

The door shut behind them, and she dropped her shoes and walked him backward until his shoulders hit the wall.

She kissed him hard.

He made a low sound against her mouth and slid his hands into her hair.

"No cameras," she said against his lips.

"None."

"No tent. No storm. No one waiting outside."

"Just the door," he said, "which is locked."

She pulled his shirt open and kissed his throat, his collarbone, the center of his chest.

His breath shook.

"Last time, I took what I wanted," she said. "Tonight I want to take my time."

"Demi."

"Take your clothes off."

He did.

She watched every button, every inch of him, standing there in the lamplight with his hands at his sides and his cock already hard against his stomach.

"Look at you," she said softly.

"You are enjoying this."

"Very much."

She walked a slow circle around him, trailing her fingertips across his shoulders, down his spine, over the tight muscle of his ass.

He breathed in through his teeth.

"Now you," he said.
