She cleared her voice and continued. “I understand, but it’s pretty hard for me to just switch like that. These are your rules, not mine, and we should at least define the limits together. To be honest, I think you owe me an explanation for what happened last time when you left in the middle of the night. That’s what couples do...”

Bruce looked at her and sighed.

“I was twenty five. Very young and very dumb. Back then, my life was completely different. Believe it or not, I was struggling with my first business. I had a partner – Shayne Carter – who was also a friend, but we didn’t work very well together. Same mindset but different styles. And in case you’re wondering: yes, it’s the same business that I sold several years later for millions, before becoming who I am today. But at that time I was far from successful.”

“I thought you’ve been successful at everything you went into?”

Bruce chuckled. “That’s bull. That’s the legend, you know, the media. People love to believe that successful men like me have kind of a secret, a Midas touch or incredible intelligence, I don’t know. The truth is I’ve tried and failed at many things but nobody knows about it because people aren’t interested in you when you struggle. People believe in overnight success. Trust me I wasn’t popular back then. Nobody cared about me except for one person: my assistant at that time.”

Bruce paused and looked at Jennifer, trying to see what she was thinking. “She really took care of me and supported me through all my battles. It was tough for her as well. I can assure you I wasn’t in a good mood every day! But anyway, we became very close, and next thing you know, we were married.”

“Looks like she was very committed to you. That’s what you were looking for, weren’t you? What happened then?”

“Maybe it wasn’t what she wanted in the end. My lifestyle was terrible, I’ll admit. We didn’t go out, didn’t really spend time together, I was working all the time and I guess she grew tired of our relationship. After two years, one of my friends caught her cheating with Shayne, my business partner...”

“Oh my God! That’s tough...”

“She said it only happened once, and it was because I didn’t give her enough attention. Well, somebody had to do the work while Shayne was busy screwing her! Anyway, I was devastated. Disgusted. Completely ravaged. But that was also a turning point in my career. Somehow I channeled all my anger and my energy into work. I became tougher and more focused. I learned about human psychology and how to read people. It helped me tremendously in business and in life. I also started paying more attention to my health, so I watched my diet and started to workout. I also changed the people around me. I wanted new friends and a better environment. Anyone who didn’t support my ambitions or didn’t respect my visions had to be kept out of my life. I was ruthless, but it worked...”

Jennifer kept silent for a while, processing everything she’d just heard. She was scared and impressed at the same time by Bruce’s background and transformational story. She realized why he was so exceptional and what made him so unique.

A lot of people would have been absolutely crushed and given up, but he decided to give his life another direction. What people perceived as arrogance was in fact the deep satisfaction of a man who knew he could overcome anything.

Jennifer broke the silence. “How about now? Why do you want to get married again after what happened?”

“When I celebrated my 35^th birthday, I realized ten years had passed. I was 25 when I made that mistake, and I’ve changed a lot since then. I decided I had to leave the past behind and simply move on. My reputation as a playboy these last few years was more like a cover.”

Bruce paused, trying to put his thoughts into words. “I think it was a way of living that helped me not to feel lonely while I couldn’t be hurt either.”

Jennifer nodded silently, looking at Bruce with a lot of compassion in her eyes.

Bruce smiled at her and took her hands. “But I’m not getting any younger and I think it’s time for me to face my demons and take a leap of faith.”

Jennifer opened her mouth to say something, when the doorbell suddenly rang and made her jump.

“I think it’s the pizza.”

Jennifer and Bruce spent the next hour eating pizza and laughing while watching TV. The week had been tough and nerve-wracking for both of them. Being able to relax and laugh together felt really good.

Jennifer was a little nervous. It was the first time Bruce was in her apartment, and he was probably going to spend the night with her.

“I’m going to take a shower, unless you want to go first?” Jennifer said while giving Bruce the remote control. “And this is the remote for the TV. I don’t have any secret bathrooms here.” She said, winking.

Bruce chuckled. “I’m fine, thank you. I was at the gym just before coming to see you. I took a shower already.”

“Alright...” She opened her arms and looked around. “Then, make yourself comfortable in my mansion!”

Bruce laughed. It was good to hear the sound of his laughter. Jennifer smiled and went to the bathroom. She took a quick shower, then covered herself with a towel and came back to see Bruce.

As she walked into the living room, she was so surprised that she dropped her towel on the floor, leaving her completely naked. She felt an immediate thrill of excitement and a rush of burning lust between her legs.

Bruce was seating on the sofa completely naked, his hands behind his neck. In this position, his torso looked wide and impressive, forming a perfect V shape down to his trim hips. Jennifer’s eyes were locked for a few seconds on his amazing six pack. His chiseled body was irresistible.

Jennifer raised her hand to her mouth. My God, I think I’m going to pass out!

His lower abdomen ended in a sexy V shape down to his huge erection. From her angle, Jennifer could see his heavy balls right in front of her, resting at the edge of the sofa. His cock was swelling, hard, ready for war.

“Jesus, Bruce!” Jennifer was both surprised and pleased. “Wow... you know what they should call you? Superman... you know why?”

Bruce shook his head, and Jennifer pointed at his package. “Because you’re really THE man of steel!”

Bruce chuckled and gently stroked his shaft. “Enough talking for tonight... Come here...”

Jennifer didn’t hesitate for a second and kneeled between Bruce’s strong and muscular thighs. She leaned forward and licked his impressive abs while rubbing her breasts against his hard pole. Bruce grabbed her loose hair in a ponytail, tipped back his head and closed his eyes to enjoy her delicate touch.

Jennifer started to caress his balls, but Bruce slightly bucked. “Something’s wrong?”

“Yeah, it’s a bit sensitive.”

“How about like this?” Jennifer reached for his balls with her mouth and sucked one of them, but Bruce bucked again.

“Can we avoid the balls tonight?”

“It hurts? Your balls look a bit swollen. You should see a doctor tomorrow. I’ll make an appointment for you.”

Jennifer parted her lips and took his swollen head in her watering mouth. She sucked and licked his head tenderly and very slowly, stroking his length with one hand, and caressing his thick chest with another.

While she was busy sucking him, Bruce leaned forward and grabbed her ass with both his hands. He caressed, massaged and slapped her cheeks playfully before inserting one finger into her dripping pussy.

Jennifer, with his cock in her mouth, moaned instantly. Bruce inserted a second finger and hooked them inside her sensitive walls, exploring every part of her eager channel and provoking a wave of heat between her legs.

Jennifer was panting and grinding her crotch against his hand, swallowing his thick cock down to the base.
