Tempt Me (The Macintyre Brothers 1)

STEPH: WHAT ARE YOU DOING HOME ALONE YOU SHOULD BE IN HIS BED!!!

ELLA: He's my boss!

STEPH: If you played your cards right, he might end up your husband...

ELLA: In case you forgot, I'm not in the market for a husband. A handsome hunk of a boy-toy, maybe, but a husband? No.

STEPH: HE COULD BE A BOY-TOY!

ELLA: He's my boss.

STEPH: Seriously, I'd do him just for the experience. A notch on your belt, which, I might add, has very few -- like, ONE -- notch on it.

ELLA: Two. You keep forgetting Sidney Johnson.

STEPH: That didn't count. He didn't even get it inside of you, I recall you telling me.

ELLA: It was still sex. And we were still naked.

STEPH: And you were still a virgin afterwards, so no. It doesn't count. You need experience, Ella. Go get you some.

ELLA: *sigh*

STEPH: See? You regret not going home with him. The two of you are going to be filled with regrets. Not a good way to live. You should seize the day. Live life to the fullest.

ELLA: So what you're saying is that I should just forget all my ethics.

STEPH: I'm saying you should JUMP HIM!

ELLA: I think I'm going to write some erotica instead.

STEPH: Oh for God's sake... What's the use of moving to The Big Apple and not taking advantage of the men?

ELLA: I will, once I find one WHO ISN'T MY BOSS...

STEPH: Boss, schmoss. I bet he's good in bed. Now you'll never know.

ELLA: It's too late now anyway. I'm going to say goodbye. I've taken enough abuse for one night...

STEPH: You love me.

ELLA: I do. *Smooch*

STEPH: *Smooches you back*

STEPH: Look, kiddo. If he asks you out again, don't say no. Sleep with him and see where it goes. He's so damn gorgeous, you'd be a fool to let something as trivial as morals and ethics get in the way. ;)

ELLA: And instead let something as trivi

al as his good looks guide my way?

STEPH: When it comes to sex and pleasure, good looks are important factors in satisfaction.

ELLA: GOOD NIGHT!!!

STEPH: XOXOXO

I smiled and put my cell away, then opened my Iron Man notebook. Instead of actually going out and enjoying Josh the way I probably should have and could have, I decided to write a new erotic short story. In fact, I decided to write one about Josh, although I'd use a different name.
