"Why the hell do they hate me so much when they don’t even know me?"
"I feel like I cheated on Charlotte, even though we are nothing to each other."
“And then the worst news of my life comes. So, there I was, being all gallant and leaving her fucking hot hymen in place for her future husband, and some other asshole has flown in and stolen it right out from beneath me.”
"This is God punishing me. I’m being punished for being promiscuous before I met her. My love… gone."
“I don’t give a fuck if you don’t like me,” I shout. “But you will not punish her for loving me.”

My first one-star review of this year and a perplexing, amateurish story that was as slow as much as it was shallow.
Also, Charlotte is one of the most insipid female characters ever created and I'm convinced I did not read the same book as the other reviewers! Sorrynotsorry.

“She’s like a giant golden uterus. Just waiting to be fertilized.”
“Most eligible bachelor in London. An appalling rake.” She raises an eyebrow. “He’s loaded from what I hear, and I don’t mean his wallet is loaded.”
“Page two of the gossip pages, and he’s on the tip of every single woman’s tongue in London. I do mean literally.” She links her arm through mine. “He’s a look but don’t touch kind of man. Don’t even think about it.”
I glance over to my dear friend. “I’ll bet you two hundred pounds that I have a date with her by this time next week.” “Double it. Four hundred,” snaps Masters. “You don’t have a chance with her.”
She’s also very different than my usual taste in women. She has a gentle air about her.
I smile down at her and stuff the key into my pocket. “If you’ll excuse me, I have to see someone.”
Excitement rolls over me. “The thrill of the chase is alive and well, my friend.”
Every image is of him is with a different woman. They’re all gorgeous with the majority of the photos taken at night by the paparazzi. Models, actors, fame-hungry whores. Oh…
I get a vision of the all the images of him with women from Google, and I cringe. Being one of those stupid girls is the last thing I need.
If I take her virginity she’ll become needy and attached, and I’ll only fuck this shit up. Girls fall in love with their first sexual partner and I don’t do love.
I’m not wired to be with just one woman.
“Sheridan is in town this week. She’ll snap me out of it.” “God, you’ve been on and off with her for a long time.” “About ten years, I think.” “Why don’t you just make a go of it with her?” Masters frowns. I screw up my face in disgust. “It’s not like that between us.”
“Oh, yeah, I’ll fuck her ‘til she can’t walk.” I bite the food from my fork. “When she’s in London, she’s mine.” “How often does she come here?” “Four times a year.” “How long does she stay each visit?” I shrug. “Ten days or so.”
Sheridan is the CEO of a multi conglomerate global company. At the age of thirty-five, that’s a huge accomplishment.
She gets me like nobody else ever has. We have a sexual relationship based on trust and friendship, but we both know this for what it is.
She chuckles. “Oh God, Spence, she won’t be able to hold you sexually. I can’t, and I know how to fuck.”
She leans down and takes my face in her hands, and then she kisses me slowly. My cock hardens instantly.
I walk into the bedroom to see Sheridan naked on her hands and knees on top of the bed.
On the side table sits an array of dildos and lubricant. My cock instantly hardens.
I unzip my pants with a brand new urgency. “On your back, legs open,” I growl.
I fucked Sheridan, and the only way I could make myself come was by imagining she was Charlotte. I’ve done it for three nights in a row.
My eyes snap open. “You imagined you were having sex with me when you were inside another woman?” I snap. “Oh… shit… I mean...”
“So, Sheridan is your girlfriend who lives in another country?” “No, she’s just a friend.” “Who you have sex with?”
Sheridan. What am I going to do about that one? She’s due here in the next couple of weeks.
“I needed to see what was going on with my man.”
“We belong to each other first and foremost, Spencer.” “This one’s different, Shez.”
She walks over and slides her key into my pocket, pressing a soft kiss to my lips. “Women will come and go with you, Spencer, but I’m here forever and, unlike them, my love for you is unconditional.” I stare at her. “I’m here for ten days,” she whispers.
I keep looking through the cabinets. I wish I could ask Sheridan for her opinion. She’s always been my confidant. I miss her. Not the sex, I don’t miss sleeping with her. I miss her friendship but I know that one comes with the other and it’s not possible to have her in my life anymore.
She takes me in her arms again and holds me tight. “It’s okay. I’m here now, baby.
“Spence,” Sheridan whispers, taking me in her arms.
“Is Charlotte still on your case about getting married?” Masters asks. “She hasn’t mentioned it for a while. Hopefully she’s given up.”
