scent of him overwhelming her senses. Eating seemed to be one of the hardest things she could do at the moment. Blaine ate also and drank, looking at her from time to time.
“I’ve heard that they don’t like to feed you girls all that much,”
Blaine said. “That true?”
Shyla swallowed her food and nodded. “Small meals mostly. They 22
want us all to watch our figures.”
“Meat on the bones isn’t such a bad thing.” He finished his drink, set the glass down and lounged back on the plush pillows.
“Guess not all like fat girls.”
He laughed. “Honey, you’re definitely not fat to me.” When he sat up and reached for the chocolate covered drugged strawberry. Shyla dropped her fork, covered her mouth and stared wide eyed at him.
“What’s wrong?”
“You don’t want to eat those,” she whispered.
“Oh yes I do.” He took a large bite, juice slipping down the sides of his mouth. He took two more bites, finishing it off before picking up the second, holding it in front of her. “Your turn.”
Shyla shook her head. “I’m not eating those. Do you know what’s in them?”
Blaine smiled, “Yep.”
“And you ate it anyway?” she gasped.
“Trust me, Shyla, and take the fruit. It’ll help tonight.”
“Help with what?” Her heart began to pound in her chest. Fear seemed to wrap around her and hold her just about as tight as what Blaine did up on the roof.
“Trust me.”
The intense look in his dark eyes had her mouth opening it seemed on its own. The strawberry entered, she bit down and chewed the sweet fruit. Swallowing, opening up and taking two more large bites she ate it all and waited.
“Relax,” he sighed, pouring more wine in the glasses, taking hold of his and sitting back on the pillows. “Everything is going to be just fine.”
“I don’t think relaxing is going to happen tonight since we ate those strawberries.”
He smiled, eyes closing. “Don’t worry so much Shyla. Everything’s going to be alright.”

Chapter Three
Blaine watched Shyla with hooded, half closed eyes. She was nervous and scared and he was pretty sure it wasn’t because of the past and the information he gave her regarding Owen. She knew about the strawberries, so that took the amount of surprise and the plan right out the window. He really hoped the surprise of what the fruit did would help him with the seduction part. Hell, in all his years with women and his experiences, he didn’t have to work so hard at getting a woman in his bed, but tonight he decided he had his work cut out for him.
Fuck! It hit him and hit hard!
The drug in the strawberry, a potent aphrodisiac, went from the back of his neck, down his spine and pooled right between his legs making his balls tighten up in sexual need unlike anything he ever felt in his life.
Instantly, he became hard as stone, his cock pressing against the zipper of his slacks, throbbing for impending attention.
Blaine couldn’t suppress the moan from slipping past his lips, or control himself from reaching out to Shyla, pulling her onto his lap. He needed to feel her, needed to simply touch her for the moment, but he knew that need would quickly change. But right now, he needed to do something to take a bit of the edge off and hold him at bay until she was ready.
“Come here,” he rasped out, placing her face to face on top of him.
Again her blue eyes widened, the fear showing clearly in the crystal depths. “Do you feel it yet?”
She shook her head. He moved his hands down to her legs, skimming up and under the dress. Shyla squirmed and tried to get off, but he held her easily and tightly against him.
“What are you doing?” Her voice held a hint of uncertainty when she spoke.

Instead of answering, Blaine sat up more, moved his hands to her ass and nuzzled her neck, breathing in her sweet scent. He kneaded her ass, ground her against his aching cock and began to kiss her neck, down to the shoulder and up her throat
