Chapter 10: Max
I don’t spend the night. I don’t fall in love. I don’t give a shit about anything but emptying the contents of my balls in a condom so I can get on with my life. I woke up early when the sun first peeked through the blinds in Abby’s room. Abby was barely covered in a sheet and the sight of her naked body was enough to get my cock tingling again. I stayed longer than I should have, but with the light in the sky, I knew it was time to go. Her fucking cat gave me the evil eye as I walked down the stairs. He had always been the alpha male in the household and he could see that I threatened his dominant aura.
“What’s up, cat.” I picked him up and before I could even lift him to my waist he hissed and jumped out of my hands.
My driver hadn’t waited, but he was only a phone call away. I didn’t feel like riding in the back of a car, I just stepped off her porch and started walking. It was a rough looking neighborhood, but in the calmness of the morning it didn’t seem as bad as the broken-down houses and graffiti suggested. I got to the corner and looked at my phone. I had a couple of messages from work and a message from Ms. Ruth telling me she had put Benjamin to bed. I was lucky to have someone like her. Normally when I went balls deep in a girl I was home before the sun came up—my night was Abby was definitely an exception. I finally decided that I wanted coffee more than I wanted to go home, so I walked across the street towards a small diner on the corner.
“Could I get a couple of coffees and a couple of your breakfast specials—to go.” I closed the menu and tossed it on the counter.
The waitress gave me every bit of sugary sweetness six in the morning could offer after she took my order. The diner was fairly deserted except for a few people who didn’t look like they ever left. When the food finally came, I paid for my order and gathered it in my arms. I was so off the rails of my normal protocol that I felt like a different person entirely when I walked back towards Abby’s house. As I approached the house and started up the steps, I realized I didn’t have a key. I locked the door out of courtesy when I left, but getting back in was going to be a challenge. After standing on the porch for a moment, I finally knocked.
“I got breakfast and coffee.” I smiled when she opened the door.
“I’m already making coffee.” She let the door hang open and walked towards the kitchen.
“Yeah, but this was made by a professional.” I closed the door when I entered the house and smiled to Sebastian who stared at me as I walked towards the kitchen.
“I thought you didn’t spend the night.” She sat down at the table as I put a coffee and a plate of breakfast in front of her.
“I don’t.” I sat down across from her. “Consider yourself lucky.”
“Oh, I’m lucky, am I?” She laughed and sipped her coffee. “You must have really enjoyed last night.”
“I could always go for round two.” I winked at her.
“I’m good.” She dug into her food and started eating.
I recognized the cold reflection in her eyes and the emotionless tone in her words. She sounded just like me when I was telling an unfortunately woman that the night we spent together meant nothing. Normally, it came after they harassed me and eventually caught up with me. It was strange to be on the receiving end of that sort of treatment. I started feeling awkward as we ate and that wasn’t a feeling I was used to. I needed to leave. It was a mistake to return in the first place. I reached into my pocket and pulled out my cell phone, sending my driver an SOS text that meant I needed him at the location he left me. By the time we were done with food, I heard the car outside.
“I guess it is time for me to go.” I looked over at the door.
“Have a good day.” She picked up her coffee and smiled at me.
“Yeah...” I stood up and leaned towards her for a goodbye kiss, but she pulled away.
“Maybe I’ll see you around the office when we get the launch ready for Energy Enhanced.” She pulled her coffee cup in front of her face in what seemed like a defense mechanism.
“Yeah... Probably...” I walked towards the door and slammed it behind me.
Every time I ended an encounter wishing for that very same level of coldness hit me like a brick to the face when I walked towards the waiting car. There was nothing special about Abby. She took a little more work than my usual efforts, but she was still a conquest put to bed and past her expiration date. She was nothing more than a hot pussy that satisfied my cock—an awfully tight pussy. I closed my eyes as my car zoomed towards my mansion. I had to get Abby out of my head and plan for my next conquest. None of my nightly escapades resulted in a repeat encounter and her resistance to another trip upstairs in the morning light was evidence that I should stick to what I knew best.

“DADDY!” BENJAMIN RAN towards me with his bare feet slapping against the hardwood when I opened the door. “Where were you? I didn’t get a bedtime story.”
“I already told you, Benjamin. Your daddy had to work. You really didn’t like my bedtime story?” Ms. Ruth came walking down the hallway behind.
“You don’t read it like Daddy does so it doesn’t count.” Benjamin looked at her as I scooped him up. He hugged me tightly around the neck.
“I’m sorry buddy, I had to work late.” After a hug, I sat him down.
“You smell like flowers...” He looked up at me.
Abby’s perfume—a stain on my story.
“Yeah, I think it was something they were using to clean the office. Why don’t you go watch cartoons?” I pointed towards the living room.
“He’s not going to buy that story forever.” Ms. Ruth gave me a weak smile as he left us. “She must have been special if you spent the night.”
“Thank you for staying with him.” I met her gaze and smiled, but I ignored her insinuation.
“I need to get home. I’ll see you Monday. Goodbye, Benjamin!” She waved towards the living room and Benjamin gave her a wave without looking back from the television.
She was right, of course. Eventually my son would figure out that I wasn’t working when I went out prowling for a victim. Luckily, I had a few years before that realization set in, so I joined him on the couch and watched cartoons. They were a little mind numbing for me, so I checked my email on my phone while he became engrossed in the latest antics of his digital heroes. As soon as I saw an email about Energy Enhanced, I started thinking about Abby. She was sweet, beautiful, and simply amazing. I closed my eyes and tried to flush those thoughts out of my head. A second date didn’t exist in my world and no matter how much fun I had fucking her, I had to let those thoughts go and focus on the next chapter of my sex life. I was sure I wouldn’t even remember her name once I was balls deep in someone else.
