“I’m Max Levin.” This time my arm cooperated. “Are you an associate of these lovely ladies?”

She brought her hand up to cover her chest. “You think…Oh, no.” She laughed, a sweet little giggle that forced a smile to my face. “I’m not a…” A blush fell across her cheeks.

Innocent. Unassuming. With a little lip gloss, maybe…I shook off the thought. This girl wasn’t porn material. But for the first time in years, I actually wanted to test the merchandise to find out.

“This is our roommate, Everly Parker.” Stella made the introduction.

“Everly’s going to be a lawyer,” Jade added. I heard the definite pride in her voice.

“That’s…” A waitress brushed past Everly, pushing her closer to me. Her scent kicked up around me again, and I stepped away, unable to control what was happening inside my pants. “…the plan.” Her eyes cast downward to the floor. “It’s always been the plan.”

Somehow I didn’t feel her desire. People who wanted something bad enough were desperate, and the desperation emanating off this woman had nothing to do with graduating from law school. Her eyes had screamed at me the moment she looked up from her mess on the floor. Eyes that desperately wanted to see things. Experience things. That’s a desperation I recognized. The desire to let go. The same desire I saw the moment a woman left her inhibitions at the door and took off her clothes.

“A lawyer?” I eyed her from head to toe.

“Mr. Levin is the vice president of White Lace Productions,” Jade said.

“The porn company?” Everly crossed her arms over her chest, pushing her breasts up. Her tiny, perky breasts that I wanted nothing more than to cradle in my hands.

“So you’ve heard of us?” I smiled wide. Name recognition meant your product spoke for itself.

She lived with two escorts, which meant she was liberal in her thinking about sex and money. Maybe, unlike eighty percent of the population, she’d also accept what I did for a living.

Right. Because nice girls like her totally go for someone like you.

“I didn’t know you wanted to change…jobs.” She looked over at her friends, genuinely sad that she was the last to find out about the meeting.

“We’re just getting some information,” Jade said. “It’s not a done deal.”

Everly tipped her chin and looked up at me. She had to if she wanted to meet my stare. I was a good head taller than her.

“I’m in the business of bringing fantasy to life, Ms. Parker.” I was mesmerized by the soft swell of her breasts that poked above the neckline of her shirt. So subtle and delicate. “I bet y

ou’ve got a few stored away for a rainy day.”

A sharp snap brought my attention back to her face. “Don’t you know it’s rude not to look someone in the face when talking to them?” I finally brought my eyes away from her breasts, and she was glaring at me. Her shoulders had migrated to her ears in annoyance.

I was usually a lot subtler when checking out the opposite sex. Not that I had to be. It was my job to analyze every curve and swell of a woman’s body, but getting called on it served me right for giving in to my baser desires.

“Hmm…I guess I don’t.” I stepped forward and walked around her, just as the hard crunching noise of the coffee grinder went off in the distance.

I liked this girl. She may like to cover up almost every inch of her skin, but she had gumption. Confidence. Yet not the confidence I was used to. I made my living working with women who found their sense of self with their bodies. But not this woman. I had an inkling that her confidence originated from being first in her class.

Her head swiveled with my movements and I heard her tiny gasps for breath as I hovered, each time getting closer. Finally, I leaned in and whispered, “Want to teach me a lesson?” I grinned then stepped away, but not before I saw the shiver race up her spine.

So you do have an effect on her.

But when I turned to face her, she had already forgotten my effect on her body. “Somehow I have the feeling you’ve already got a long line of scorned women ready to teach you a lesson in manners.”

I heard Ben chuckle behind me, then clear his throat.

“Touché, Ms. Parker.”

“I have studying to do, so…” She lifted her chin, eyes blazing at me. “I’ll leave you to your meeting.”

“It’s too bad.” I squeezed myself back into the booth and kicked out one leg, resting my arm along the top of the seat back. “Guess I won’t be getting the lashing I so deserve.”

She laughed me off. Actually laughed at my words. Not that cute little giggle women usually got when I laid it on thick, but laughed at me. “Goodbye.” She walked away, but not before giving me one last look that cut right through me.
