Which is why it was so surprising that it was barely noon when he finally released me from his clutches. I think he only did so because he himself was beginning to feel the fatigue.When William escorted me back into the limo, I noticed a sly smile on his face as he sensed my exhaustion. Despite my current state, my feet were better off than they had been previously. I wouldn’t need to indulge myself in a masseuse after such a hard day on the dance floor.When I got back into the suite, I collapsed onto the couch. I was tired. I was sweating. My stomach was growling after having burned off all of the calories from my breakfast that morning. As I took a moment to myself, I took a deep breath and sighed. Finally, I could relax.I closed my eyes and enjoyed the peaceful serenity of the comforts around me. Once again I had the entire penthouse suite to myself and I could spend my time leisurely until I would have to go back to work tonight at an hour I was more accustomed to. As I laid there, seconds away from drifting off at any moment, I thought about everything I had learned.Marcus did more of what he had promised me.
