Chapter Five
“This is home,” Kirk said, stepping into his penthouse apartment. He’d bought this the first time he made a killing in stocks and shares. Everyone had doubted him, but he had a keen eye for what to invest in.
He always made sure that he didn’t push all of his money or profit into one place, and that he wasn’t greedy.
“Wow, this is awesome,” Bella said.
Putting his keys in the small dish on the hallway table, he kept hold of her hand. “I don’t know about you, but I need to change.”
He took her straight toward his bathroom.
“You don’t think this is a little much?”
“You want to shower alone?” he asked, brow raised. “We’ve seen each other completely naked. Don’t go all shy on me now.”
“I won’t.”
Removing their clothes, he turned the shower on, testing to make sure it was warm before helping her inside.
He couldn’t keep his eyes off her beauty. Even now, after spending all day fucking her, he wanted her again. His dick was already hard again to be inside her.
She turned toward him, and her gaze went to his cock.
“Oh,” she said.
“This is what you do to me.” He reached for the soap and began to work it into his hands before covering her body.
“You’re supposed to use a sponge.”
“My hands are the sponge.” He moved down to her ass, making sure that he cleaned her up.
Letting the soap rinse off her body, he redid his hands, and then worked on her front, paying careful attention to her breasts, stomach, and between her thighs.
She moaned as he slid a finger between her pussy and teased her clit. He made sure the suds were washed from his hands before he played with her.
“This is nice; strange, but nice,” she said.
“No cameras this time.” He kissed her neck. “And believe me, I don’t need cameras for what I want to do to you.”
He pressed her up against the tile wall, teasing her pussy. Kicking her legs open, he angled her just right so that he could push his cock inside her.
She moaned as he filled her, sliding in deep as he continued to play with her clit. “You have the best fucking pussy in the world, and I should know.”
Pulling out of her, he slammed in deep. Closing his eyes, he counted to ten to try to gain control. He’d already come twice today, and yet he was ready to go again.
This was new for him even after all this time.
When he finally had control, he brought Bella to orgasm before finding his own, coming deep within her. Afterward, they finished washing themselves, and he turned the shower off.
Wrapping a towel around his waist, he worked on drying Bella.
“You know I can dry myself.” She chuckled.
“I like doing this though. It’s a lot of fun.”
“I don’t have any spare clothes.”
“That’s okay. You can wear some of my old sweats.” He took her hand again and led her into his room. Finding a pair of sweats and a shirt, he handed them to her, which she thanked him for.
He quickly pulled on a pair of sweatpants and some trainers. There was no need to bother with a shirt.
“You hungry?”
“Starved.”
Kirk led the way to his kitchen. “I was going to take you out to dinner, but I’d rather like to impress you with my stir-fry skills.”
“You can cook?”
“Hell, yeah.” He picked up the remote for his television. “I even have the cooking channel ready. Love that shit. Honestly, I love being in the kitchen. I’m kind of weird like that.”
“It’s surreal to see a man in the kitchen.”
“Well, you take a seat. I’ll get us some juice going. I don’t do wine. I try not to drink after I’ve been working or during. Actually, I don’t drink a lot of alcohol. I use it for cooking.” He opened his fridge and held up little bottles. “See, for a cup of wine, half a cup. I’m showing my girly side right now.” He wanted to impress her.
“It’s so cute.” She chuckled.
Pouring a glass of orange juice, he handed it to her.
“Do you bring a lot of girls here?” she asked.
He grabbed the vegetables and chicken and started to work on marinating the meat. “No, no one comes here.”
“Have you ever had a steady girlfriend?”
“I’ve had girlfriends. They’ve all been women in the business. They had to be. Not a lot of women would love a man who has been balls deep inside another woman all day.”
“That’s true,” she said.
“Did you know today was my official last day?” he said
“It is?”
“Well, I was undecided. I’ve been doing fewer and fewer scenes lately. There’s always young stars, and I’m getting kind of old.”
“How old are you?”
“I’m forty years old.”
“Oh, I’m thirty.”
He stared at her. “You are?”
“Yeah, why?”
“I … you look quite young for your age.”
“Thanks, I guess. As you can see though, it’s why I’m struggling on what to do next. I mean, going back to your point of celebrities with sex tapes and stuff. I’m not a celebrity. I don’t want to live on the streets. I don’t really know what to do.”
He didn’t like the thought of her having to do another scene with another man. He’d been with a lot of women, and they’d dated. Not once had any of those women made him jealous at the thought of another man touching them.
“I think we should talk to my guy. See what he has to say, and until then, how about you work for me or something.”
“What do you need doing? I was a secretary before in a law firm.”
He winced. “I can figure something out.”
“You’re a really sweet guy, Kirk. Thank you so much for today. It means the world to me.”

The food Kirk cooked was spectacular, as was his company. Bella sat back on the lounge chair, staring at the pool. Kirk had already jumped in to cool off, and she just watched him. He really was a beautiful man. Sexy, hot, and he commanded attention.
She’d known him for a full day and would soon have to leave, but she didn’t want to. These feelings he inspired scared the living crap out of her.
He moved toward the edge of the pool, resting his thick arms on the edge.
“Come on,” he said.
She shook her head. “I don’t have a bathing suit.”
He crooked his finger at her, and she rolled her eyes. Leaving the chair, she moved toward the side of the pool.
When he tapped the side of the pool, she sat down and he pulled her into the water, wetting her clothes.
“I’m all wet now.”
“That’s the way I like it.”
She wrapped her arms around his neck as he moved her away from the edge of the pool.
When he lifted the shirt over her head and helped her kick off the sweatpants, he placed them on the side of the pool.
“Anyone can come in.”
“You’re under the water, and you just stay with me. No one will know.” He placed his hands on her back. For several seconds neither of them spoke, and she just basked in being close to him.
“Is this what you always do after a scene? Eat, chill, go to the pool?” she asked, when she could no longer stand the silence.
“I do a lot of things. Most of the time I work out. Sometimes I sit in on other people’s films and watch. There’s always something to be learned, and what I realized young was that I didn’t want to miss an opportunity to learn something.”
“Tell me how you got in the porn business,” she said.
He told her about the woman he’d been with then. How she was so impressed by the length of his cock, she offered him a job. For over an hour, he held Bella in the pool as they moved around, and she didn’t want to let him go.
The sun was going down though, and she knew the night was coming to an end.
“Will you take me home?” she asked. He’d already called his lawyer friend earlier, and they all agreed to meet each other tomorrow to discuss everything. His friend had several details that he intended to look into before that meeting.
“Do you want to go home?”
“My landlady is waiting for me.”
“Does she know what is going on?”
“Yeah, Cathy has been amazing. She’s so supportive. Of course, she has promised to beat the shit out of Eric or set her poodle onto him, whichever would amuse her first.”
“I am sorry that your ex did this to you.”
She chuckled. “You really need to stop apologizing for my ex. It wasn’t you.”
“He’s male, I’m male. I guess I need to apologize for all assholes of our species.”
“In that case, I’ll apologize for all mega-bitches.”
“You see, you’re getting it.”
They moved toward the edge of the pool. Kirk passed her the clothes, and she quickly pulled them on, marveling that no one joined them.
After changing in his room into her now-clean clothes—he’d offered to wash and dry them for her—she was ready to go.
Once in his car, she gave him the directions that would take him back to her apartment block, and as they sat outside, she was sad to have come home.
“This is me,” she said, climbing out of the car.
He surprised her when he followed her out, moving up to the front door.
“I’d like to see you again,” Kirk said. “Not just for the lawyer either. I’d like to date you, Bella, if you’d have me.”
“Like proper dates?”
“Yes. No sex involved unless you want it, and that is a deal breaker.”
She laughed. It was fun to be able to do that again. It had been way too long since she’d felt so carefree. “I’d like that actually.”
“At least we’ve got the icky business out of the way.”
“Icky business?”
“Yeah, me with the porn star background, you with the sex tape. No awkwardness.”
“Absolutely not. I mean, we’ve even had sex and gone further than most couples do, and it’s only our first day.”
He stepped up toward her, and her heart started to race. He cupped her cheek, sinking his fingers into her hair and tilting her head back.
“I’m so pleased I met you, Bella.” He pressed a kiss to her lips, so chaste and sweet. Watching him go, she quickly stepped into her apartment building, and Cathy was already there.
“Well, I guess it went really well for you, dear?”
She leaned against the door and sighed. “I think I’m in love.”
“That’s lust, and no surprise there. Rock Hard has a big enough dick to make a nun fall for him.”
She rolled her eyes and followed Cathy into the older woman’s apartment. “How do you know who he is?”
“I did research. I wanted to make sure I was prepared for today. You’re all intact, and you don’t seem to be losing your shit so you must have done okay.”
“It was so scary. Kirk thinks he can help me though.”
“In what way?” Cathy asked.
She brought her friend up to date on the details of the sex tape that her ex had uploaded and what it could mean.
“I tell you what, if it brings Eric to justice for that shit he pulled, I’m all for it. When do you meet this lawyer friend of his?”
“Tomorrow.”
“Well, I hope he’s damn good. I hate men who think they can get away with stuff, all because they have a dick. You deserve better.” Cathy patted her hand.
Bella wasn’t going to get her hopes up after the past year.
