"Co to keep his head up

I saunter toward hie roo-size bed

"How about we talk so e of the mattress

He shakes his head determinedly, and then flops his hand toward the leather belt looped through his slacks I watch hi impatient, I finally unhook the buckle myself, and jerk it frohs and starts to sit up, his fingers seeking ently shove hi flat on the bed

I toss the belt onto the dresser "I didn’t come here to play"

"Preston promised you’d take… you take…" He blinks around the roo lost "That you’d take care of me first"

I roll my eyes Damn it, Preston I hate when he proo down, then I wouldn’t get in so ain, most of them can’t remember that ing at s over I reach forof pills If I’m lucky he’ll try one and then quickly pass out "But first I need you to pay up"

Shifting his weight to the side, he snatches the bag out of my hand and then scoots back so he can sit up He totters as he sits up straight, then when he gets settled he opens the bag He glances inside it, pretending like he’s checking to see he’s not getting ripped off, even though it’s too dark to count the pills

"You got the cash?" I scan his roo with clothes, and the closed aruessing he’s got it tucked in his pocket Things just got a little co

"Cash comes after we play," he says, but I shake my head, ready to be done with this deal I’m about to tell hiy He throws the bag of pills aside and his fingers quickly jab into my waist He jerks me toward him and I lose my balance and fall down on hisloppy kisses all overtoward the bottoarettes "God, you sers pinch down into s "I bet you like it wild… you sure as hell look like you do"

"Thank God" I slip out frootten lad he passed out After a lot of deliberating on what I should do, I decide it’s best to leave it up to Preston so I take out my phone and dial his nus

I cliot a dilemma"

"What’d you do now?" he asks in that flirty tone he uses on everyone Even guys It’s just how he is and I know he really doesn’t ht years older than lance over at J "Well, not really… J… that guy you were having hter in his voice

"And I want to knohat you want s and arrab his cash or really screw him over and take the pills, too?"

It takes Preston a while to answer I can hear voices in the background, which probably means he’s at a party "What do you think you should do?" he finally asks ernails, a bad habit of mine I can’t see I’ it as a favor to you and I’ for my tuition You know that"

"A favor toAll this ti it because you secretly were in love with me"

I roll my eyes at his twisted sense of humor "You did not"

"I did, too"

"Did not"
