FreeNovel"Don't move! One more step and you'll..." Duke couldn't finish his sentence. Belinda's howl of pain drowned out his voice.
"Ouch!" Belinda tripped on the couch and fell to the ground. The sheet fell off her body and once again, Duke saw her sexy curves.

Duke looked at his hand held out for her. Did she really need to run from him like that? He was no monster and he wouldn't bite.
Shaking his head, he cast a last glance at the closed bathroom door before getting dressed.
The hotel was the property of the FX International Group, so it was natural that he had his own suite here. Although he seldom stayed the night, the room was always reserved for him in case he needed it for emergencies like last night.

"Looking for a friend with benefits?" Belinda retorted sourly. Why did he imply that the sex was great last night? She was not a call girl!
"Friends... with benefits?" Duke looked up and down at her body again before slowly replying, "Fair proposal. I can deal with that."
"Well, I can't. I'm not that desperate. So go find someone else and leave me alone." This wasn't a game to Belinda. She was offended and mad. She didn't like this one bit.
