    Jasmine tossed and turned, unable to fall asleep after having been lying in the bed for almost two hours. Peter’s snoring next to her was not helping the situation either. He had been out like a light for the past couple of hours since Jasmine gave him a blowjob and gave him some after the fact.
    I’m the one who did all the damn work, she thought, so why is he snoring like he knocked the walls out of it?
    Jasmine had kind of gotten used to being left feeling unsatisfied and not having climaxed, and she would always give Peter the benefit of the doubt.
    In the past year they had been dating, they both seemed to be pleased with the way their relationship was blossoming. They had both been single because they were both so career-driven and focused on trying to reach their individual goals. Jasmine typically came across guys who did not understand this about her and wanted her to put all of her attention toward them. In the end, Jasmine would find herself alone again within a matter of months.
    Peter, on the other hand, had much fewer long-lasting relationships because the women he came across would accept that he was a workaholic—then there was the fact that he was generous with his money too. The problem came in when Peter realized he was with someone who did not have any goals or drive like himself, so it would become clear to him eventually that he either had a gold digger by his side or a lazy, spoiled woman who he could not even hold a meaningful conversation with.
    When Peter and some of the other executives at the firm he had been working at for the past 9 years held one of their annual conferences at the museum where Jasmine worked, that’s when things changed for the both of them. Jasmine was the contact person for Peter’s group who had been handling the arrangements and making sure the room they reserved was up to par for their conference.
    When Jasmine walked into the conference room that Friday in early January to make sure everything was in order, she immediately saw Peter. Out of the 30-something men and women in the room, Peter stood out because he was one of a handful of minorities; of that handful, Peter was the only black man present. As soon as she looked at Peter, it seemed he looked up at her and immediately they both felt something.
    Jasmine had been so busy working at trying not to put herself out there in the dating world again that it had been a long time since she noticed anyone that attracted her. When she saw Peter, though, it was hard to ignore the handsome man with the sparkling white teeth that were coming to light from behind those sexy lips that she wound up focusing on for much too long. She responded back with a smile that Peter focused on just as much as she had focused on his.
    Unlike Jasmine, Peter always noticed and acknowledged a beautiful woman in his presence, but he wasn’t expecting to come across one at this particular point in his day at the museum. When he saw this beautiful, sexy, tall black woman walk in with curvy milk chocolate legs peeking out at him from a pencil skirt with a small split, a blouse that fit her upper body perfectly covering but showing just enough, and long, natural, wavy dark brown hair that was pulled off of her face and flowed down past her shoulders, all Peter could do was stare and smile. When she smiled back, Peter knew that he had to talk to her.
    One of Peter’s coworkers was handling the arrangements with the stunning woman, but as soon as that brief exchange was finished and she headed back toward the exit, Peter rose out of his seat and followed the woman back to her office, stopping her before she made it her door. This was the start of Jasmine and Peter.
    Jasmine found Peter to be too irresistible to pass up his invitation for dinner that same evening after she got out from work. From that dinner they both learned that they had met their match in one another. Their busy schedules also worked perfectly for one another. For the
