Pleasure in His Arms
Pamela Yaye
The smile faded from her lips. “What makes you think I have a boyfriend?”
“Because you’re gorgeous and vivacious and guys go crazy over women like you.”
“Look at you getting all up in my business.” Demi giggled. “You’re fine, but nosy.”
Chase chuckled long and hard. “What can I say? I’m a sucker for beautiful women.”
“If you must know, I’m happily single, and I wouldn’t have it any other way.” Fervently nodding her head, her teardrop earrings swung wildly back and forth, grazing her bare shoulders.
“Care to elaborate?” he asked, curious to know what her story was.
“Relationships are a lot of work, and I can’t be bothered. Most men aren’t honest, let alone faithful, and I don’t have the time or the energy to play games.”
“It sounds like you’ve been dating the wrong guys.”
Demi scoffed. “Are there any good ones left?”
“You’re looking at one. I’m trustworthy, loyal and sincere.”
“You sound like a politician.” Her features softened, and her voice lost its warmth. “I don’t want you to think I’m bitter. I’m not. I’m just tired of meeting boys masquerading as men.”
“I understand, but don’t worry. By the end of the night you’ll be singing my praises.”
