Through rit out, “I never used that word, nor would I ever But if it eases your conscience, you are free to tell me ‘no’ at any time we are inside that club It will totally be your choice”

Hannah crosses her arainst the low cut of her tank top I refuse to let aze drop there

“Let ht,” she says with a hefty dose of suspicion “You want s, for which you will pay me money And if I don’t want to have sex with you, I don’t have to”

“That’s the gist of it,” I mutter

“You don’t think I have the power to say no to you, do you?” she accuses with her lower lip stuck out It makes me want to bite it

Even though that’s exactly what I think, I don’t admit it Instead, I just stare at her

Wait her out

Finally, she sighs and drops her arhts at Joe’s, so I can’t be your companion” She holds up air quotes to eive this job up”

In ht it would be cool if I could have access to Hannah a few nights a week I figured that would appease this insatiable need for her that I’ve developed soht takes hold

“I’ll pay you double whatever you make at all three of your jobs combined If you quit them, then you’re available to me”

Hannah’s mouth drops open into a perfect “O,” and I have a clear fantasy of what I’d like to see filling that space one evening

As if she could read hts, she narrows her eyes “You’d payat all three of my jobs, just to accos where I have the right to say ‘no’ to your advances?”

My lips curl up in an evil grin “No If I’, I expect you to quit all three of those jobs and be at s”

Hannah worries at her lower lip, her gaze casting off to the side as she thinks

I add gravy on top “I’ll give you a fifteen-thousand-dollar signing bonus up front”

Her gaze slams back into me, eyes ith surprise “Awful lot of money for a whore,” she murmurs

Fuck… I just actually made her a whore if she accepts this But I press on

“Again, your word, not mine Besides, you can—”

She beats me to the punch “Say ‘no’ Yeah… I heard you But if I say yes, then that makes me a whore”
