After sending Maya the Airbnb address, Edward moved quickly. He jumped into the shower for a fast but thorough wash, then stepped out and dried himself. With a mischievous smirk, he picked up the special cologne and gave himself two generous sprays across his neck and chest. He didn’t actually need it though, as Maya was already thoroughly addicted to him by now and was fully conquered, but the thought of pushing her even further made it impossible to resist. 𝗳𝐫𝚎𝗲𝚠𝚎𝗯𝕟𝐨𝘃𝚎𝗹.𝗰𝗼𝗺

With a smirk on his face, he went to the living room wearing his grey sweatpants and sat comfortably on the couch. He really didn’t even need to take a bath, but just to be extra clean, he did. Purposefully, he didn’t put a shirt on, leaving his sculpted upper body in full display. Thinking about it, since Maya was probably within the city, it wouldn’t take her long to get to his place since he was close. Perhaps it would take her at most ten minutes.

’Hmm, what should I do. It’s already so late too, I wonder if she’s eaten?’ He thought to himself.

...

Elsewhere, within the city, Maya had just gotten into her car, gripping the steering wheel tightly before reaching to kickstart the engine. Her body felt heavy with exhaustion after a long workday. "This was supposed to be a mini vacation," she muttered to herself. "Instead I’m working like a damn slave." She sighed deeply. "I need to talk to Ashley tomorrow. At least get her to cut me some slack for the last two days. I just want to spend them well and enjoy them with Edward..."

Her thoughts drifted, and a small frown creased her forehead. She suddenly remembered something sore, one of her close friends, also lived in this city. Well, close friend was a stretch, but they were close nonetheless, due to the nature of their work.

’I have to make sure she doesn’t meet Edward. I couldn’t find anything, but I don’t think he’s the kind to stick to one woman, neither do I want that... I doubt I can handle him alone... just anyone but her.’ The idea of them somehow crossing paths made her stomach twist with unease, the thought appeared to bother her so much, and the worry was clear on her face. She shook her head, trying to push the concern away. She already had enough stress for one day.

As her car pulled out of the office parking lot, a shadowy figure stood motionless in the darkness between two vehicles. Long hair tied in a neat ponytail, the figure remained completely still, watching Maya’s car intently until it merged into the road. Only then did the silhouette move, slipping back into the shadow as it moved, seemingly disappearing.

...

Back at the Airbnb, Edward lounged on the couch, scrolling through food delivery apps. He had no interest in cooking in someone else’s kitchen, especially on his first night, not to mention, his own cooking skills were mediocre at best. He settled on a nice meal from a highly rated restaurant and placed the order. It was set to arrive in about twenty-five minutes.

"Should be enough time," he thought, though he expected Maya to arrive sooner.

Having nothing else to do for the time being, he opened a mobile game on his phone to kill time while he waited.

He had somewhat lost track of time, when he was just about to enter into a match and the doorbell rang. He checked the time and calculated that it had only been about fifteen minutes since he opened the game.

"Finally," he muttered, assuming it was Maya. He stood up and opened the door with an expectant smile.

Luckily for him, he wasn’t speaking or didn’t try to do any thing weird to welcome her, since he opened the door to find the food delivery guy standing there holding two large paper bags, his eyes exhausted, but at least not accompanied by bags yet. He was young and probably around the same age with Edward.

Edward got his phone so he could make the payment, which he processed quickly. As the delivery guy turned to leave, a sleek black car pulled up smoothly in front of the building, tinted glasses rolled up. Maya stepped out, looking elegant yet tempting in her corporate attire. The fitted white blouse that strained slightly against her full breasts and a pencil skirt that hugged her wide hips and thick ass did very little to restrain her alluring body.

The delivery guy froze mid-step, eyes widening as he openly stared at her curvaceous figure. Even in professional clothes, her body was impossible to ignore, in fact, it seemed even more tempting. Any man that had watched if only a little roleplay involving an office bosslady would have wild thoughts... very wild thoughts.

He couldn’t help but turn to look at Edward again, his eyes holding deep envy for this brother who had won in this life!

If only he knew this brother had won more than that, and had an even impressive future catalogue coming...

Maya noticed the eyes from the young man and shot him a sharp, warning glare. The delivery guy quickly averted his eyes, cheeks burning with embarrassment, and hurried back to his scooter.

Maya’s expression changed quickly as she walked up to Edward with a bright, relieved smile. She wrapped her arms around his neck in a tight hug, pressing her soft, heavy breasts against his bare chest. The moment their bodies touched, a powerful wave of desire hit her. She just had to fight the sudden urge to shove him inside, rip his sweatpants down, and ride him right there in the doorway. Deciding to plant a deep sensual kiss that lasted an entire minute.

The delivery guy had yet to go, watching this all go down with burning eyes and second hand joy. Even Edward who wanted to grab her ass and have a squeeze hesitated, noticing this guy’s piercing gaze... he felt a bit weird under those eyes.

"I stopped to get us some food," she said, holding up a bag from another restaurant. Then she noticed the delivery bags in Edward’s hand and laughed softly. "Oh... you already ordered. Great minds think alike."

Edward smirked and pulled her inside, closing the door behind them. As the delivery guy drove off, he couldn’t help thinking how insanely lucky the man inside was, getting to spend the night with such a beautiful, well-endowed woman. Those firm yet incredibly soft-looking breasts and that perfect ass... even her corporate outfit couldn’t hide how stacked she was.

Driving off, he couldn’t help but feel a wave of joy well up within him and he sudden had some life in his eyes... ’I just need to work hard and that could be me someday too.’ He thought, laughing lightly.

As the sound of the delivery bike faded, from the shadows of the house directly opposite the Airbnb, the same mysterious figure with the ponytail emerged. Hidden in darkness, their eyes gleamed with an unsettling intensity as they stared at the apartment Maya had just entered.
