Chapter 3

Sophia’s room was one of the larger rooms in Drake’s house, and it had plenty of space for the six-foot table Sophia had brought in for the lunch she had planned. The sushi had been made by Drake’s personal chef, and Sophia knew he would be surprised as hell when he showed up.

Drake knocked on the door, but Sophia couldn’t get up to open it. She had a bit of a surprise planned for Drake, and he was going to have to let himself into the room if he wanted to see it.

“Come in,” she yelled from the table.

Drake walked in and his jaw plunged in total surprise. Sophia was naked, a few leaves covering her body, and those leaves had sushi on them. She held very still as she tried not to spill their delicious lunch.

“You were right. I’m going to really like this sushi,” Drake said as he came up to Sophia’s head and kissed her gently.

“I have never felt a California roll on my pussy before.” Sophia laughed.

As she laughed, a sushi roll from her breast started to tumble down the side of her body. Drake reached over and grabbed it and quickly popped it into his mouth.

“Mmm, this is delicious. I think I need more.”

Drake started to kiss Sophia’s naked body and moved between her breasts to her stomach. He slowly grabbed the sushi from her body and placed it on a plate near her. But he placed the strategically located California roll right into his mouth.

There were a lot of things Drake had done in his life, but eating sushi off a naked woman was not one of them. He liked the idea, though and was totally into it. Sophia was so wild, and he loved that. It was going to be one hell of a day.

Sophia grabbed Drake’s hand as he pulled her up to sit on the table. She straddled him with one leg on either side of his chair at the head of the table. Her naked body teased him, and Sophia saw his eyes glance down at her pelvis and then back up toward her eyes.

One thing that Sophia was good at was sex and seduction. Drake couldn’t keep his mind off her. She loved sex and having fun with people. Her life had been hard, and there was never enough time to just have fun. When she was young, she figured that it was easiest to get a man’s attention if she was sexual. But as she got older, Sophia realized it was easy to get anyone’s attention, either male or female, with sexuality.

Even women who didn’t think they liked other women would pay attention to Sophia. She loved the attention. She actually craved it. When she went a couple of days without having sex, Sophia often found herself at one of the nightclubs near her work, dancing the night away with a hot young guy. Sooner or later, she would bring him home and have her way with him. Sometimes, she would even find a girl to bring home.

But for the moment, Sophia was excited by having the rest of the day with Drake. She had heard so many things about him. Sophia was thrilled to have a man around her who was just as into sex as she was.

“Should we eat first and play later?” Sophia asked.

Her hands moved slightly on her thighs, and Drake desperately wanted to have the energy to dive right into her delicious center, but he was exhausted. Drake was also starving, and there was no way he could turn down the delicious sushi meal that was spread out on the table behind Sophia ... who was spread out in front of him.

“If you don’t mind, I’d love to eat and talk a little,” Drake said, shifting his eyes to the chair next to him in hopes that Sophia would slide over there.

If Sophia was disappointed, she hid it very well. Drake watched as she slid off the table and into the chair next to him. Sophia grabbed the soy sauce and a few sushi rolls and started eating. She was a girl right after his own heart. Drake loved how easily she slipped into eating and didn’t care at all that he had denied her the sex she seemed to be craving.

“Oh, my God, this is delicious,” Sophia said as she ate a piece of their lunch. “I’m so hungry.”

“Me too, I can’t remember when I ate last,” Drake joked.

“Well, you have been busy as hell, I’m sure. All of these beautiful women are so hard to resist.”

“You are very beautiful too, Sophia,” Drake added.

“Oh, I know.”

Sophia just smiled back at Drake as if to tell him he didn’t have to give her compliments. But Drake loved to compliment his women. He wanted them to always know that they were special to him. It was something his father had taught him when he was very young. “Compliments have to be genuine and from the heart,” his father had said. Drake always remembered that. Plus, it was good advice; every woman he had ever met seemed to enjoy being complimented.

Every woman he had ever slept with was beautiful. Drake loved women. Their delicate features, beautiful scents, and perfect curves were all things he loved about them. Every single one was unique and special in her own way, and he didn’t want any woman he was with to ever feel like she wasn’t special.

“Tell me a little more about yourself,” Drake requested as he also started to eat.

His chef really was one of the best around. He could make everything from hamburgers to sushi, to steak, with them all turning out absolutely perfect. Drake hadn’t been too keen on hiring a chef, but Samantha insisted he use one at least a couple of times a week.

His chef, Lou, was always available at short notice and had been more than willing to drop his other plans to provide some of the meals during the week. He didn’t make all the meals, and he certainly wasn’t staying at the house, but Lou had outdone himself with the sushi lunch he made for Sophia. It was total perfection.

“You don’t want to hear about my boring life. I’m sure you have much more interesting stories you can tell me.”

Sophia’s life wasn’t one of happiness. She hid behind her sexy clothes and outgoing personality, but any time she started to talk about her real life, Sophia inevitably got emotional. Sophia could see the look in Drake’s eyes, though and he wanted some information about who she was. It was a delicate balance that Sophia often walked. She wanted to be honest with Drake but certainly didn’t want to tell him so much that he felt sorry for her. She didn’t need anyone’s pity.

“I grew up in Chicago. I have my own clothing store now, and I just like to chill and hang out and grow my business.”

“Do your parents still live in Chicago?”

“My mother does; my father has passed away.”

“Oh, Sophia, I’m sorry to hear that.”

“It’s life. We live, we die, and everything continues on.”

Drake saw the sadness in Sophia’s eyes and decided he shouldn’t continue to ask questions about her life. Perhaps, she would be more open to talking later in the day. Drake didn’t want to push her away as he was happy to be there with Sophia. They had all day to talk and get to know each other. He didn’t need to rush her.

“I’m still starving,” Drake said looking at the empty table.

“Me too,” Sophia laughed. “I guess we depleted all our energy last night.”

Drake picked up the phone in the room and dialed Lou to see if there was any more sushi available. But Drake didn’t care if it was sushi or a sandwich; his body was starved for some nourishment. Throughout the last few days, he had been caught up with the women and hadn’t been eating regularly at all. Normally, in the office, he had a schedule that was easy to keep. But in the house, with seven women, it was much harder to keep a normal schedule.

“Any more of this sushi around? We are both starving today.”

“I’m sure I can pull together some more for you two. Anything else you would like?”

“Wine, strawberries, chocolates, and anything else you have around.” Drake laughed.

“Certainly, sir.”

Drake didn’t know Lou all that well, but what he did know was that his chef would not disappoint them. Drake expected within thirty minutes Lou would be back in the room with trays and trays of food for both of them.

“Since we need to wait, should we talk or fuck?” Sophia asked, smiling.

The fucking was appealing for sure and so was Sophia. It was refreshing just how open Sophia was to talking about sex. Drake really found that attractive. She was unique and certainly not like any of the other women in the house.

All of the women in the house seemed genuinely open to discussing sex. Although each of the women had their own personal experiences or inexperience with sex, Drake was pleased that Samantha and Robert had found so many opened-minded women for him.

There was one thing Drake had always wanted to do, and he secretly hoped that it might happen at some point during his week with all the women. So far, he hadn’t even gotten close to making it happen, but maybe by the end of the week, everyone would feel more comfortable with each other and his fantasy could come true.

“Is it horrible if we take a nap?” Drake laughed.

“Of course not! I’m tired too.”

“How about I give you a massage with my expert masseuse hands?” Drake asked.

“Yes, yes, and yes.”

Drake grabbed Sophia by the hand and walked her over to the bed. He helped her onto it and instructed her to lay facing down so he could massage her. First, he started at her calves and moved up her legs as he straddled her thin frame. He wasn’t actually very good at massaging women, but he loved the feel of their soft skin on his hands. Sophia's skin felt so soft he was starting to forget about that nap.

Sophia's ass was absolute perfection, and he felt himself get aroused at the idea of sliding inside her perfectly round cheeks. Not many women were into anal sex, though, so Drake knew he had to be delicate if he brought up the idea. Even though Sophia was very free about her sexuality, that didn’t mean she was so free that she was alright with a cock up her ass. Drake had met many women who said they were sexually free, but still weren’t into anal sex.

His hands moved slowly up her body and past her ass. He didn’t want to linger too long there and instead went right to her lower back where he started to apply firm pressure.

“Oh, God that feels so good,” Sophia said.

Drake moved his large hands slowly up her spine and continued with firm pressure. He wasn’t an official masseuse, but Drake sure did love to give a great massage to a woman. The sensual intimacy was perfect to help any woman relax.

“Do you get to see your mother very often?” Drake asked as his hands continued to move over her body.

“Yes, we visit almost every weekend. I just bought her a new home, so we have been decorating it recently.”

“That was really sweet of you. Does she still work or is she retired?”

“She worked three jobs most of my life. When my store started to do well, it was like torture to get her to finally stop working. She was just so used to working hard. She’s not officially retired, though. She works at the local fabric store, but I’m hoping to convince her to retire soon.”

“You sound like you have a close relationship.”

“Yes, she’s struggled and sacrificed for me a lot. She’s the only person in the world that I feel deeply connected to.”

Drake let the silence of that thought sit in the air for a little bit. It was sad to him that Sophia didn’t have anyone else she felt connected to. She was a beautiful girl with a beautiful soul, and he felt she deserved more happiness than she had probably had in her life.

“How is your store doing without you this week?” Drake continued with his questions as well as his massage.

“From what I’ve heard, they are doing great. I hired a manager a few months ago, and this is a good test for her. Hopefully, soon I’ll be able to concentrate on opening the next store and let her run the first one.”

“That is exciting for sure.”

Drake didn’t want to get too much into the business talk, but he liked that Sophia seemed to be actually answering his questions. She had a lot she kept hidden, but Drake felt it was a bit of a victory that Sophia had talked even a little bit with him.

He had read her interview and some background information on her from Samantha and Robert, but none of it went into very many details. Samantha had made one note that really intrigued Drake. “Tough as nails” was noted at the bottom of Sophia’s interview paper. Drake could see that statement was probably pretty damn accurate.

The knock came on Sophia’s door only twenty-five minutes after Drake had talked with Lou on the phone. He made a mental note to give Lou a bonus when this was all done. He certainly had proved himself already throughout the week.

“I’ll get it, do you want to cover up?” Drake asked as he pulled a blanket from the end of the bed.

“It’s not necessary. Lou already placed all that sushi on me naked, he’s seen the goods.”

Sophia and Drake laughed as they opened the door.
