His eyes rage-filled eyes narrow and he keeps them on me. “The only thing you win at is fucking your way to success. My accomplishments are all mine, princess.”
“You believe whatever the hell you want but just so we’re clear, dick doesn’t have the influence on me that you think it does,” I say, smiling.
“That tells me a lot, princess,” he says, smirking.
I laugh and move closer. “What’s it tell you, Corbin? That waving your dick around with your cocky attitude will never work on me?”
That overconfident smirk takes over his stupidly handsome face as he cocks an eyebrow. “Princess, I can promise you that if I was waving my dick around, you’d be dropping to your knees.”
“Get the hell out of my shop,” I hiss.
He tosses me a wink and grins. “Good come back.” I go to interrupt and he steps closer, too close. I can smell his fresh, masculine scent. I can feel his body heat. It’s too much and I want to step away but I will never give him the satisfaction. “Shut it down, princess.”
He turns to walk away and I tighten my hands into fists. This asshole isn’t going to tell me what to do.
“The party will continue and maybe instead of a one-time deal, it’ll be monthly. That’s how you do it right?” I shout.
I don’t even want to continue doing these parties. He just pisses me off to a point I can’t control getting the last dig in.
He turns around and slowly walks backward with that confident smirk on his face. “You do what you want, princess, but remember there’s a consequence to every decision you make. You keep going and I will make sure that proper legal action takes place.”
With that, he turns away and walks out the door.
Fuck. He’s definitely got me there. I can’t continue to do this without risking getting shut down completely.
“He’s right, you know?” Fay says, squeezing my shoulder.
I stare at the closed door and nod. “I know but he just keeps pouring gasoline onto the fire.”
“You’re better than that, Leah. Just continue what you’re doing and ignore him,” she says.
I spin around and the anger that is burning inside me gets misplaced on her. “Ignore him? He comes into my shop, causes a scene, and threatens me but you want me to ignore him?”
She crosses her arms, shaking her head. “Leah, did you ever think maybe you get so fired up around him because you’re attracted to him?”
A bitter laugh leaves me as my muscles tighten. Of course, I’m attracted to him. Of course, my body reacts to his. Of course, I’d love to do exactly what he said and drop to my knees but fuck that. I’ll never give him or anyone else the satisfaction of knowing that.
“Be on my side, Fay,” I say, walking past her toward the front door.
I step outside and try to let the cool night wash over me. Corbin gets me worked up on so many different levels it’s ridiculous.
How can you hate someone so much and still want to have them fucking you?
“So they have these private parties and I’m offended we’ve never been invited,” Arya says, laying on the couch in my waiting room.
“Arya, who gives a shit what they do over there? I’ve heard their parties are nothing but drunk assholes looking to score anyway,” I say, sanitizing a station.
She rolls onto her side and props her head up on her arm. “Assholes are my favorite type, Leah.”
I laugh and walk over, tossing a rubber glove at her. “And we’ve learned that they aren’t worth it, remember?” I ask, raising an eyebrow.
“Not worth a relationship, but the sex is always worth it,” she tosses back.
We both laugh and I sit down next to her feet. “The other night was fun and I know you made a lot of money, but it was a one-time deal. I can’t jeopardize my shop. Corbin will definitely do everything in his power to make sure I lose it all. I won’t risk it.” I squeeze her calf and stand up. “So, no more parties here, sorry.”
She sits up and smiles. “I get it. I appreciate what you did for me. As for Corbin, you should just bang it out with that hot asshole. Remember, not worth the relationship but the sex is always fucking hot.”
We both laugh as the door opens. I turn my attention toward the man who just walked in and smile. Not my usual client, but sometimes businessmen come in and when they take off their shirts, they surprise me with the amount of ink they have.
