She looked around the apartment. “It’s a nice hotel room. Suitable for a man like you. And quite suitable for the games you had in mind, I presume.”
“What do you want? Did you plan this all along? You were acting as if you weren’t interested in me, so you would have me chasing after you?”
I was pacing now around her, unsure if I felt like strangling her or congratulating her for managing to fool me.
She cocked her head to the side. “Not really. When I told you in the bar that I wasn’t interested in you, I was telling you the truth. But then I started thinking. You’re a Senator. You can help me and give me what I need. So, it’s rather simple. Unless you want me to expose you as a womanizer. Or I could just expose this little meeting to my brother.” She pointed at her phone.
I had to admit. My cock was throbbing painfully. She was that sexy—all feisty and sassy. Never in my life had I encountered a woman who treated me like this, and a part of me appreciated this stark change. Usually, they would drop their panties right away, but Camilla was different, and I liked chasing. This was exactly what I had been looking for.
I licked my lips, taking a step toward her. She maintained our eye contact. “Your brother? Who is he?”
“You really don’t recognize me? I thought after I told you my name…”
It hit me like a freight truck. Cami was short for Camilla. Oh shit. “You’re Carter’s little sister aren’t you?”
She nodded.
“Damn. Well I guess this ends here then.”
“But it doesn’t.”
She walked over to me and tugged on my tie. “I need something from you.”
The way she demanded my attention had me intrigued. “And what do you need?”
“A job,” she stated simply.
“A job?”
“Yes. A job. I want to be an aide, and you have connections, so you can do this for me.”
“So, you are demanding a job? Just like that?”
She crossed her arms across her chest. “Yes. I have all the qualifications and education I need, but employers always have requirements that are almost impossible to meet. It’s not fair. In this city, if you don’t have connections or money, you can’t get anywhere.”
“And I don’t want to do some low paying job in some god forsaken firm that would lead me nowhere. So I have to do this. I’m sure this is nothing for you and you’ll be able to find me a job in no time. So what do you say?”
I didn’t reply immediately, letting my eyes slide down to her chest that was rising and falling a bit quicker than it was normal. Her boobs seemed barely contained with a bra that pressed them all too tightly and it was messing with my mind. I imagined running my tongue over that voluptuous curve of her breast before I sucked her nipple into my mouth, giving it the treatment it deserved.
I sat down on the bed considering her proposition. This was new to me.
“I say that you’re definitely something else. Who would have thought you would turn out to be like this?” I motioned with my head to her phone. “And if I refuse? Would you actually sell this recording to the media? Or give it to Carter?”
Her gaze hooded, and she smiled. “Maybe. Maybe not. Who knows what a desperate woman can do?”
I leaned backward, supporting myself on my hands, and slid my gaze over her body again. Fuck, she was too hot, and right now, I couldn’t care less if she was blackmailing me or not. In fact, it only made me hornier. Sick, I know.
“You do realize that if I find you a job, you’ll owe me.”
“Yes. I’m well aware of that.”
“And you’re ready for it? No matter what I ask for in return, you’re ready to be indebted to me?”
“Yes.” She took a step toward me, her face completely serious now. “I need that job, Merritt. I’m this close”—she held her thumb and forefinger together to show the proximity— “To becoming broke. So I’m totally comfortable with this arrangement.”
I beckoned her with my forefinger. “Come here.”
For a second, she was completely still, but then she moved and stopped right in front of me. I separated my legs and motioned to her with my hand to come even closer. I could see the lust in her eyes as she gave me a once-over, clearly turned on.
