Free The Draglen Brothers - DRAKEN (BK 1) by Solease Barner

hundred people.
They all look very fit, so they must work out, to eat this
way.
    “What would you like to eat first,
Cess,” Gemi says, looking very handsome and sexy. Yikes, I should
not be around so many men alone. I feel uncomfortable. I hope none
of them are killers. That very moment, they all began to chuckle
and shake their heads.
    “I’m not real hungry, I’ll take some
lamb and veggies, please,” I say, smiling.
    “Save room for dessert,” Draken says,
handing me a plate that has been fixed very quickly by Layern. I
guess he knew what I would want. I blush under Draken’s comment,
feeling so embarrassed.
    “Cess, you are truly beautiful,”
Showken says, smiling.
    “Showken, stop making Cess blush,”
Gemi says.
    “Yes, let’s eat,” Draken says,
commanding. The room falls silent. They all eat cautiously, not
spilling a drop. I’m eating very cautiously in this all-white room,
I’ve been in white rooms before, but this room is different, I
can’t put my finger on it, but it’s too white, if there is such a
thing. Who would have a dining room all white? I watch them all as
they finish their plates, going back for seconds and thirds. Wow!
They can put away some food. I can’t eat that much, so I eat half
my overloaded plate, finally pushing it away.
    “Cess, you want dessert?” Showken
says, and all the rest are staring at me. My, oh my, these are some
very sexy men.
    “Umm, no, I’m full.”
    “Great, Cess and I need to speak,”
Draken says, and with a nod to me, the brothers rise, leaving the
room. Now I’m alone with him again. I turn and see him looking at
me. Then he speaks.
    “Cess, I would like you to be . . .
would you date me?” Draken says. He speaks so calmly, yet his eyes
are dancing, searching, full of hope.
    “I, umm this is really, umm, why?” I
ask. I need to know what he wants with me. I’m not the type he will
need. My mouth is smart, I don’t take orders, and I’m
scared.
    “I like you, Cess.” Draken says,
reaching to rub my hand. “For you spoke up to me which is rare, you
are interesting to say the least, and to be honest, your body and
smell make me want to explore your body, giving you a great deal of
pleasure. Now before you reject, I’m here only for six months, so
commitment is not a concern. I know you have a life you want. I
just would like you to be mine while I’m in town. I know this
sounds crazy to you, but to me, Cess, it sounds like a great
adventure for you and me,” Draken says, reaching to rub my hand. I
feel that heat again. His touch is amazing.
    “Well, let’s be honest then,” I say.
“You say you want to date me for six months, with sex and no
commitments. Why in the hell would I do that?” I ask, getting a
little pissed.
    “Cess, you want me like I want you,”
Draken says, stretching back in his chair. “We are two adults,
although I am a little older, you’re still an adult. I don’t like
fighting about what I know will happen. I think you should give me
a chance to show you how good it can be. Will you let me?” I do
want this man, but this is really something out of my league. My
dad says all the time: “Cess, in the business world, men can ask
for anything.” Draken just asked me to be a sex buddy for six
months. I made a promise, and here I am about to break it. It’s
only for six months.
    “Cess, I can see your confusion. Will
you spend the night?” Draken says, tilting his head. Holy shit! He
just basically asked me to sleep with him. This is our first
conversation really, the first time he just walked me off the
property. This is not happening. It must be a dream. “Cess?” he
calls. I’m shocked right now, but mostly hot. It’s been a while
since I’ve been with a man. I should do what Suzy says and have
some fun. I mean, I don’t want commitments right now in my life,
maybe he could be my way to get over Travis.
    “I’ll stay, tonight, not guaranteeing
anything. The six month commitment is too much to
