“I close my eyes.”
“You do this a lot, don’t you?” I asked.
“My life is busy. I don’t have time to seduce women, take them to dinner. and get them to like me. So, I take the easy way out. I don’t think there’s anything wrong with it. If they aren’t into it, even if they say it’s okay, I wouldn’t do it.”
“I guess. If you’re respectful.”
“Does that mean you’ll give it a try?”
“I’m not a whore,” I said.
“No, you’re not.”
“But, I have to admit, that was one good fuck. I still can’t believe you’re willing to pay me to do that again.”
“Do what you love, and you’ll never work a day in your life,” he said. “Most people never get this kind of opportunity.”
“I guess you’re right.”
“You’ll do it?”
“Yes,” I said.
“Fuck yeah.” He rested his head against the back of the couch. He seemed relieved. It was strange. He could have anyone, but the chance to be with me again excited him. I wasn’t special, or even that good-looking, but he saw something in me. As strange as the arrangement was, I was flattered.
“I’m not a whore,” I said again.
“I’m still paying you.”
“Okay, but I’m not doing this for anyone else, and you’d better not tell anyone about me.”
“I can sign a nondisclosure agreement,” he said.
“No. No legalities, no lawyers, and no paperwork. I will not have a paper trail leading back to me.”
“Not a problem. Just so long as you know I’m gonna wear you out. My sex drive is wild, and I mean that literally. I’ll need you a lot.”
My stomach flipped, and I caught myself. I couldn’t react like that. “That’s fine with me. just don’t call me at 2 in the morning demanding to see me.”
“I’ll try to keep that in mind.” A predatory grin lit his face.
“And I have my limits. Nothing kinky. I mean it.”
He held up his hands. “I promise. I’ll behave.”
“And you’d better not be cheating on anyone. You let me know right now. I’m not jumping out of a window to avoid some catty bitch with a shotgun.”
“I don’t date.”
“Why not?” I shouldn’t have asked that. It made me sound like I wanted more, but I was still curious.
“It’s not me. I don’t like to be tied down.”
“I don’t get it. You could have anyone you want.”
“That’s the problem,” he said. “Once you can have everyth
ing, you don’t want anything. Life gets dull.”
