CHAPTER 36
Honey
He has a thing for showing up unannounced. Like right now, as he stands at my door, I stare at him.
“Honey.” He says my name, and it feels like feathers all over my skin.
It’s selfish, really, for him to have that much power. It’s only a day after Crue’s birthday, and he seems to have bounced back quickly after I left him in the storage room with a raging hard-on. In truth, I felt fucking good leaving him in that state, but I didn’t want to deal with the consequences. Because the way he’d looked at me, I could tell he wanted to tear off all my clothes, and if I hadn’t walked away, I would’ve let him.
“I have a work event. Are you free to attend with me?” He’s dressed in a tailored white suit. Perfectly immaculate as always. Such a contrast to the tattooed man beneath. Well, the man he’s shown me, at least.
“You couldn’t ask someone else?” I ask nonchalantly as I lean against the doorframe. Admittedly, I’m enjoying this bit of control and power I hold over him. This man who takes whatever he pleases but will not take from me unless I give it.
“No, it’s a mixer of sorts. One of my parties, and I want you by my side.”
“What does that even mean?”
“It means my escorts and high-profile clients come to mingle. It’s speed dating for the rich. Basically a tasting menu.”
“And what, you want me to go to taste test other men?”
His laugh is sinister.
That’s a big fucking no.
“No, you won’t be doing that. I prefer to have a woman by my side. It’s not just male clients, female clients are looking for male escorts as well. Many of them like to come up and ask how much for my services. Which, I might add, are not included.”
“So if I paid you, say… twenty million, I could have you for the night?” I tease.
“You can’t, not for money. But I’ll indulgeyoufor free,” Dawson replies, teasing me back.
“I’m still mad at you, so why should I?”
“You haven’t closed the door in my face yet,” he points out.
I arch an eyebrow with my arms still crossed over my chest.
“And you left me to relieve myself in the back of the restaurant, so I think you can do this much for me.”
I chuckle. “Did the poor lettuce leaf get abused?”
“There was a pack of napkins, it so happens,” he says with a tentative smile.
I throw my head back and laugh.Fuck, maybe I do feel a little guilty now.
I bite my lip, unable to stop the smile and throw my hands up in defeat. “What do I wear?” I ask, stepping back to show him I’m dressed in a nightgown, not expecting to go out tonight at all.
“Do you have a gown?”
I raise a brow at him. “It’s that fancy?”
He nods. “I’m afraid so.”
“Okay. I’ll be ready in twenty.” I try to shut the door in his face, but he stops me.
“Are you not going to invite me in?”
