Chapter 2

“Should we shower?” Victoria asked after she had finally caught her breath from their hour of fun.

Drake couldn’t help but watch her as she breathed heavily on his chest. She was delightful to watch. Her dark brown hair was slightly sweaty and he brushed it away from her face. He looked into her deep brown eyes and had a better idea than a shower.

“How about a bath?”

Victoria shied away at first; she had never taken a bath with a guy before. Plus, Drake didn’t really seem like the kind of guy who normally took baths. But she was open to trying something new and really would say yes to anything that Drake wanted to do. A bonus to taking a bath together was that they could talk and get to know each other a little more while they relaxed.

“Let’s do it,” Victoria said as she stood up and pulled Drake with her to the bathroom.

Drake’s pool house bathroom was bigger than most people’s normal bathroom. It had a huge soaking tub in the corner which Victoria started with some warm bath water. She threw in some bubble bath and then sat down on the side of the bathtub. The whole room was enormous and she couldn’t help but think that she could live very comfortably in the pool house of his home. It was probably bigger than her apartment was back in Boston.

“It’s nice to meet you, Victoria. Tell me a little more about yourself,” Drake said as he sat at the edge of the bathtub with Victoria.

It was an oddly intimate moment. Both of them were naked, they had just made love, yet neither of them knew all that much about each other. Victoria knew enough about Drake from the tabloids, but she really didn’t know how much was true. With Drake being on the west coast and Victoria on the east coast, she just never spent much time following news stories about Drake. Although, she always knew who he was.

“I’m a teacher at a University on the east coast. Twenty-six years old, never married, no kids; all that good stuff, how about you?”

Drake had to laugh. Not very often did women ask him who he was or ask him to describe himself. It put him on the spot and he didn’t know how to answer the question. The women he normally met knew him very well and were typically after him because of what they knew about him.

“Thirty-eight, I run a company called Leblanc Enterprises, I’m looking to find a woman who can keep up with my busy life. Also, I really like women who lay naked on couches,” Drake laughed.

“That’s convenient. I happen to be very fond of couches and nakedness.”

Drake pulled Victoria’s naked body close to him and kissed her as they waited for the warm bath to fill up some more. He had never been one for romance, probably because he didn’t typically want to deal with the women after he fucked them. It was very calming to know that this woman was going to be around for the week.

The intimacy of the moment was intense, though. Drake felt connected to Victoria even before they had more of a conversation. Plus, his cock was starting to get erect again as he looked over at her perky breasts only a few feet away from him. Drake slid his body closer to Victoria so he could feel the power between them. There was definitely sexual chemistry between the two of them.

Their lips moved together gently but they kept their hands to themselves, for the time being. Neither of them had enough energy to go another round just yet. They wanted to enjoy the softness of the moment, without getting too worked up with excitement. Slowly their mouths played with one another as they waited for the bath water to finish filling up.

“I have something else I really like that you should know about,” Drake said.

Victoria got nervous for a moment. He talked as if he had some sort of kinky thing that he really liked. Although Victoria was ready to do anything that Drake wanted during their time together; she wasn’t typically into anything too kinky.

“What’s that?”

Drake grabbed Victoria and pulled them both back into the large tub filled with bubbles. Water splashed all over the place and Victoria started to laugh hysterically.

“I like to surprise people,” he said as he held onto Victoria and pulled her into the corner of the tub with him.

“Oh, my gosh, Drake. You almost drowned us,” she said as they both laughed.

“This is a pretty big tub.”

Drake wrapped his arms around Victoria as she sat in front of him. He let his hands move up and down her naked body as he moved the soapy bubbles from one place to the next. His hands weren’t specifically trying to be seductive, but Victoria couldn’t help but feel the desire as he moved them around her chest.

Slowly his hands took her breasts and fondled them, and then one hand moved down to clean the rest of her body. She let her head lay against his chest and for a moment Victoria realized just how much she wanted Drake to pick her.

Before coming on the trip Victoria hadn’t thought much about the interview. She figured she would meet Drake’s staff and do her interview. Victoria hadn’t planned on getting picked. In fact, she really was surprised that she had made it to the second interview and even more surprised she had made it into the house.

Originally when she had been asked by her dating matchmaker if she would consider coming out to Las Angeles for Drake’s interview, Victoria had said no. Not because she didn’t want to meet Drake because she definitely did. But Victoria was afraid of what it would be like to be in a house with other women who also wanted him for themselves.

Victoria knew that Drake was a powerful businessman who was also sexy as hell. She didn’t feel like her life as a history professor was anything that would interest a man like Drake. So, when the matchmaker came back almost instantly and said Drake’s assistants liked her and wanted her to come out for an interview, it was crazy. Victoria felt like it was meant to be and just couldn’t turn down the opportunity.

Drake was certainly a man that every woman was attracted to. Victoria just never thought she would be the type of woman that he liked. As they sat naked in his large bubble bath, Victoria finally relaxed as she assured herself he did like a woman such as herself.

“Why did you decide to do this whole week-long thing?” Victoria asked.

Typically, Drake wouldn’t answer such an intimate question when women asked, but Victoria had signed up for the week-long experiment with him and he wanted to be honest. Drake wanted to be honest with all the women throughout the week. He was going to go way outside of his normal comfort zone with his relationships during that week. Drake hoped it would result in him finding a woman he could keep with him and grow a long-lasting relationship with.

“I was tired of never finding a woman that I could keep around. I know it seems odd that a guy like me couldn’t find a decent woman. But the truth is, I expect a lot from any woman that I date. So instead of dating I typically pick a short-term arrangement.”

“Like one-night stands? What are you looking for?”

“I want it all. I want an intelligent, sexy woman who is a total sex kitten in the bedroom. But she can go out to events with me and socialize with my peers,” Drake said as he let his hand slip between Victoria’s legs.

“A sex kitten huh?” She laughed.

“Yes, I like to play in the bedroom. I have to have a woman who’s willing to try new and exciting things. By the way, I loved that you were bold enough to lay naked on that couch.”

Victoria tilted her head down as she felt the red flush of embarrassment come over her. She had never done something so outrageous to get a man before. It was way out of her comfort zone and she hoped that he had liked it. She had used up all of her energy trying to have confidence, so as they sat in the bathtub she didn’t have enough energy to pretend anymore.

“I don’t normally do things like that.”

“I’m glad you did it for me,” Drake let his lips move to Victoria’s neck.

She tilted her neck to the side and let Drake’s lips have full access while she spread her legs so his hand could have full access also.

Drake loved how delicate and sweet Victoria was. She was like no woman he could remember being with before. Her willingness to lay naked in the water with him when he knew she seemed very shy, it was a huge turn-on for him. Victoria obviously was willing to go out of her normal comfort zone for Drake and he liked that.

She moaned as his hands fondled her and she could feel her body ignoring how tired she was. It didn’t matter that it was now well past two in the morning. Victoria wanted to be everything that Drake needed in a woman. She wanted to be there in that tub with him and having his hands exploring her body.

The more she moaned, the more Drake let his fingers play with her. His cock was hard and pressed up against her back as his fingers dove deeper into pleasing her body. Feeling her naked soapy body up against his was more than Drake could contain and he needed to feel himself inside of her again. The only problem was they were both exhausted. He knew that.

He continued to pulse his fingers on her clit as he watched Victoria’s body move in pleasure. The faster he moved his fingers the more she moved. It was delightful to watch as she gave in to her desires and forgot about her shyness. She reached back and grabbed a hold of his shoulders to give herself something to hold onto as her body started to rock with excitement.

More and more he gave her until he felt her thighs latch tight around his fingers and her body shiver with a wave of orgasm. It was a first for Drake, having a woman in the bathtub like that. The intimacy felt new and exciting to him though and he wanted to make it last.

Any sort of intimacy was pretty new to Drake. Although he had dated the occasional girl for more than one night, most of the women he dated were not people he was interested in getting to know on a long-term basis. The originality of the whole week was exciting to Drake. He was going to build relationships with seven women. The week was going to test all his abilities and probably even teach him some new tricks on how to fully connect with a woman.

As they both got out of the tub, Drake wrapped Victoria in a large towel and then himself. They made their way to the bedroom where they both slid in under the covers. Victoria tucked herself in next to his shoulder as Drake pulled the blankets up over them.

She felt safe with Drake. It was an odd feeling to have with a man she had only actually known for a few hours. But Victoria instinctively felt safe as she lay next to him in the bed. Drake had an aura about him that made her whole body relax.

It had been a long night and as much as they both wanted to spend their entire twenty-four hours making love, they were smart enough to know when they needed sleep. A few hours would go a long way and would help them both as they took on the rest of their twenty-four hours together.

“Where do you teach?” Drake asked.

His arm wrapped around Victoria and pulled her close to him. Drake felt like asking questions was something new to him, but he remembered his company Vice President, and friend, Robert, had told him that women really loved it when you asked them questions.

Typically, Drake didn’t like to ask women questions because he did feel like they became more bonded with him. He didn’t want more than a one-night stand so why would he want to know anything about them. Things were changing, though, and this week of having all the women in his house was also about him deciding what he wanted and didn’t want in a woman. The intensity of the situation was going to make Drake more decisive and also force him into finding the woman he wanted to keep with him and grow a relationship with.

“Harvard,” Victoria said with a smile.

“What? You teach at Harvard,” Drake sat up in surprise.

“Yep.”

Victoria couldn’t help but laugh at the look of utter shock on Drake’s face. He certainly hadn’t expected that to be her answer. Most people didn’t expect it when she told them where she teaches.

“So, you’re telling me I just slept with a Harvard professor,” Drake laughed.

“Yep. You are part of the few. The proud. The Harvard professor sex partners.”

They both laughed and Drake laid back down and pulled Victoria in close to him. He reminded himself he had to call Samantha and Robert in the morning and tell them just how fucking happy he was with their choices so far.

Victoria was everything Drake didn’t even know he wanted. She was smart, funny, gorgeous, and that was just what he knew about her in the first couple of hours. Drake couldn’t wait to get to sleep and wake up and spend the rest of the day with Victoria.

Drake also couldn’t help but think how hard it would be for the other women to live up to how he felt with Victoria in his arms. She was sweet and kind and definitely the type of woman he would love to have by his side at events. Victoria was exactly what Drake wanted in a woman. At least at that moment she felt like the perfect fit for the future he was looking to have.

He pulled Victoria in tight against his body. Both of their days had started at dawn and lasted almost twenty hours. Victoria and Drake needed sleep and closed their eyes. It wasn’t long until sleep had taken over and they both fell asleep out of exhaustion from their very long day.
