at the entrance to her cunt. She was so wet with need that it slid inside with no resistance
“Thank you,” he murmured against her lips.
“All my pleasure.” They stayed like that for a very long time.

Owen woke up alone in his bed at the hostel. The warmth of Poppy’s body no longer comforted his. “I need to find her.”
He found her having breakfast in a nearby coffee shop.
“You left me.” His eyes roamed her face as if trying to commit to memory every curve and feature.
Her fingers gripped the handle of a coffee cup. “You were asleep.”
He raked his hand through his hair. “I wanted more.”
Poppy sighed. “I gave every part of me to you.”
“I love you.” Owen saw the tears start to glisten in her eyes. There was so much more to them than one short weekend in a foreign city.
“I know, but —”
Owen leaned over and placed his finger to her lips. “Don’t say it. I know, it was just a fleeting liaison.”
Poppy wiped a tear from her check. “It was so much more than that. We both know it.”
“Yes.” Owen did. This woman would forever be ingrained on his soul. “And you need to go home.” There was no question about it. They had to go back to reality. “Will I see you again, princess?”
Her eyes shimmered with tears. “You never know, Joshua.”
Chapter Five
Poppy wheeled her suitcase down to reception.
“Did you have an enjoyable stay, ma’am?” The clerk at the counter began tallying the bill.
“It was most enjoyable.” I have been taken, used and fucked so delightfully that I’ll be sure to recommend it to my friends . Poppy paid her bill and headed to the door. It was time to go home and back to reality. She stopped when she saw Joshua. “How sweet you are to come and see me, Joshua.”
“I had to.” His finger trailed down her arm. “I was compelled.”
Poppy shivered at his touch. He is gorgeous . “I’m leaving today.” She was suddenly sad to leave a place where she had enjoyed herself so much. She looked into his eyes. It’s all due to Joshua .
He smiled in response. “I have a secret. My name is really Owen.”
Poppy’s bag crashed to the ground. “What? Why didn’t you tell me?”
“I didn’t want to ruin your fantasy.” He bent down and righted her bag. “I also hope to continue on with our delightful acquaintanceship.”
She shook her head. “I should tell you the truth. I have a long term partner whom I love very much.”
“You’re kidding me?” Owen raised his eyebrows in surprise. “And he lets you fuck strange men?”
“He encourages it.” Poppy realized how lucky she was to have someone like that in her life.
“He must be a patient soul to allow that.”
She chuckled. “Oh, I allow him his dalliances with other women. Are you shocked?”
“I’m bloody stunned and appalled.” Owen pulled her into his arms. “Did you enjoy the weekend, princess?”
“Owen, darling, you’re disgusting.” She choked back a laugh. “I can barely walk straight.”
“Hey, I fulfilled your fantasy of multiple dicks taking you.” He slapped her butt playfully. “Do you still love me?”
As partners went, Owen was the sweetest, most indulgent man she had ever met. That he allowed her freedom to experiment and enjoy other men was an indication of how much her happiness meant to him. Poppy knew there would come a time when both would only touch and taste each other but for now, they enjoyed their secret ‘stranger’ weekends. “I adore you.” Owen understood her like no one else.
“And I love you, princess. But next time I get to stay in the hotel. The beds in the hostel were hell on my back.”
“Hmm, maybe next time I could stay in the communal backpackers and parade around naked in front of all those men.”
“As long as you come back to me, I’ll fulfill any wish you have.”
Poppy kissed him. It was slow, lingering and full of need and promise. “Come home with me. I have a terrible
