Adam chuckles

Danielle smiles "I'm a humble artist I can't do four"

"Be careful She's a shrewd negotiator," Liam says "Learned from the best"

"Siive me a few tips" There This is our normal rapport I tease Liam He teases back We're here to be normal Not weird and secretive

"Briar, baby, you're killingI know you're going to tell me you want to pose with him"

"Is he naked?" I ask

"If you talk him into it," Liam says

"I'd pay to see that," Danielle says

"Really?" Ada"

She laughs "To see Briar negotiate Si session"

"You don't have to pretend, Danielle We know you want to photograph the entire world naked," Lia with the best" He taps his chest "But if you can't have the best…"

"You only offer to pose every time you see her," I say

"I have a generous spirit," he says

"Go on," Danielle says

"Don't encourage him," Adam says

"He's going to go on whether I encourage him or not," Danielle says

Lia sheepish Or maybe he's actually sheepish I can't tell anymore

"I' talk Do you really live up to it?" Curiosity fills Danielle's dark eyes "Could anyone live up to your talk?"

"Danielle, you know you're baiting me," Liam says

"Baiting you to do what?" she asks

"Throw Briar on the table and push her dress to her waist," he says

This is where I object If we're friends Boss and employee Coworkers

But we're engaged

I still need to object I don't want Lia me out at this very public restaurant

In private, in his corner office

Or my tiny twin bed

His dining room table I've never seen it I've never been to his apartment

But the ie still fills my head Some massive oak table Liah His naain

Is he good with his mouth?

Danielle is right He talks big talk Can he really live up to it?

"Baby, should I go right now?" Liam asks "You know I'm insatiable"

My cheeks flush

Danielle's eyes fix on me

She already thinks we're fucking Lia

That's the only lie I really need to sell

And it's only half a lie We kissed I want to fuck hi in that direction

My head is already filling with beautiful s

Is Liaenerous?

I have no idea

But I want to find out

I really, really want to find out

"You okay, baby?" Liam reaches for my hand "Or do you need mouth-to-mouth resuscitation?"

I take his hand For our ruse For o "I need…" I try to find the worlds to explain this It's sied

Now that we're engaged…

Check out iant rock…
