twist of Sasha’s lips.
    “Thanks for letting me know how I should react, El. I’ll let you know when I feel like freaking out.”
    She giggled. “I’m simply saying your ass is not normal. Where’s the anger? I half expect you to threaten to beat me down with one of those heels of yours.”
    “Bite your tongue.” Sasha gasped. “I’ll never jeopardize my collection in such a way. Besides,” she paused, “It’s you. You love him, and I know if he gives you half a chance, he’ll feel the same. Any other women I’d claw their eyes out.”
    “You’re just violent.” They laughed together and once again Elina sent up a silent prayer thanking God for Sasha.
    “What did he say when he came over?”
    Elina sobered. “He set some rules.”
    “What?” Sasha sputtered.
    “Uh-huh. You’re not supposed to know about any of it. I think he’s afraid you’ll kick his ass for fucking with me.”
    “Damn right I will.”
    “But—”
    “Principle, Elina. Principle.”
    No idea what that meant, so Elina continued. “He says he’s not looking for anything more than sex and either of us can end it at any time.”
    “Who does he think you are, some cheap trick? I’ll kick his ass.”
    “That’s why I need your help. You’re going to help me with him. I want him, Sasha.” Her voice shook under the heavy weight of her emotions. “I want him and I can’t remember ever feeling as strongly as I do for him.”
    “Then we’ll have to get him, won’t we? What’s your next move?”
    “He told me to come to him when I was ready.”
    “And are you ready?”
    “Ha. Not even close.
    Sasha giggled. “What do you need?’
    “Shopping. Spa.” Elina ticked them off on her fingers. “I’m aiming to knock his freaking socks off here, I’ll need the works.”
    “I’m rubbing off on you in a major way, El.” Humor laced her friend’s voice. “I’m not too sure this is a good thing.”
    “Oh, it is. Trust me, it is.”
    “Hmm. All righty, I’ll set us up for a spa day tomorrow. This works out for me, too, since I have that engagement party to go to in a few days.”
    “That Harper chick?” Sasha made a sound in the affirmative and Elina asked, “Should I be jealous here? You’re getting awfully close to her.”
    “She’s…cool. Not like the person you see on TV, El. You’ll like her. Besides, you two have a lot in common.”
    She seriously doubted that, but Elina let those words slide unchecked. “Okay, take care of the spa thingy. My schedule is clear for the next two days so I’m good.”
     
    Two nights later, pampered within an inch of her life, Elina set out to surprise Kingston. She had no idea where the time went. One minute she was climbing into her car and the next she was pulling into the club’s parking lot.
    Tonight heralded the start of her campaign to win Kingston Hughes’ heart. He was hers and she’d prove it to him once and for all. She found recently she could be quite cold and calculating when it came to winning.
    Don’t know whether to curse or thank my father for that, but I’ll take it.
    She remained inside her car and texted Kingston. I’m ready .
    Eyes closed, she pinched the bridge of her nose. Need and anticipation hardened her nipples and moistened her panties.
    Will I be enough? She’d never had the opportunity to question her abilities in the bedroom. She’d only been with one man. Kingston was used to experienced women, beautiful women who knew how to please a man, knew what he needed and gave it without him asking.
    Her phone vibrated in her lap.
    Where are you?
    Parking lot.
    Give me five .
    She gripped the steering wheel, chest heaving. The atmosphere inside the vehicle grew increasingly oppressive so she opened a window, gulping the cold Seattle air into her lungs.
    Esto es todo . This is it. No time to back out, to tuck tail and run.
    She stiffened her spine. I want this and I’ll have it. All second guessing was done for tonight. From here on out it’s
