Dirty Beginning (Dirty 0.50)

I want him more than I’ve ever wanted a man before .

But, right now, I’ll have to relive the kiss over and over again while I make sense of his bizarre behavior. What kind of man kisses me, but won’t fuck me unless I’m in his debt? Some sort of twisted, mess up man that’s who. A man that makes me want to know everything about him .

“W hat is up with you? You’ve either been a bitch to anyone who talks to you or you have been completely silent all week,” Eden says when she walks into the living room where I’m curled up on the couch .

“From that description, seems like I’m my usual self .”

Eden grabs the quilt off my body .

I growl, “Give it back! It’s freezing, and I’m taking a nap .”

“You are not napping on our first of only three free weekends that we have here .”

I close my eyes. “I’m taking a nap .”

I don’t want to walk around the town. Everything will just remind me of Arlo again. All I can think about is his damn kiss anyway. He’s the most confusing, infuriating man I’ve ever met. I’m frustrated that I have already let a week pass without trying to come up with a plan for revenge. I’m way out of my league. So, my new plan is to sulk and stay away from him until I leave. It’s a good plan that will get me into less trouble anyway .

Eden storms off .

I smile slightly. I’ve won. She’ll leave me alone and let me nap while she goes and makes the best of this trip by exploring all that Italy has to offer .

“Here,” Eden says, throwing a lump of something soft on me .

I glance down and find a small pile of clothes. I look back up at Eden, baffled as to why she threw me one of her shirts and pants .

“This shirt makes your boobs look great, and those pants make your ass look even better. Put them on, and let’s go .”

“I already told you, I’m not going .”

Eden grins with her hands on her hips. “You are going. We can do this the easy way or the hard way .”

I slowly sit up to see what she thinks I should wear. “Oh my God! This is your Versace shirt. This thing is over a thousand dollars. You never let me wear it .”

She smirks. “Easy way, it is. It’s yours if you leave with me now .”

Damn it! This woman knows the way to my heart. Expensive designer clothes and shoes .

I pick up the clothes. “What about shoes ?”

“You can have my Gucci black heels .”

I grin and run to my bedroom to get changed. I poke my head back out. “What was the hard way going to be?” I ask .

Eden walks to her bedroom and then reappears in the hallway with her black heels. She holds them out to me, and I take them .

“I’m not telling. I might need to use the hard way later .”

I quickly get ready and then reappear .

“You look smoking hot. Damn it, you should be happy that I like you; otherwise, I would never let you leave, looking better than me .”

I roll my eyes as I look at Eden’s dark jeans and low V-neck top. “You look amazing. I don’t know what you are talking about .”

Eden throws me a leather jacket. “Put this on. Your current look is a little too revealing for daylight hours .”
