“I’m not committing any crimes for you! If you think I’m going to be your little henchwoman, then—”
I laugh despite the serious look on her face. “You, a henchwoman? Falynn, honey, I don’t hire women for such dangerous jobs. And if I did, there are more capable and deadly women than you out there. If you believe nothing else I’ve said, believe that.”
“Thenwhat?”
“I need the assistance of a beautiful woman,” I say, eying her with humor. “One who is willing to pretend to be mine for a few weeks. You complete the job to my satisfaction, you can go about your way.”
She stares at me for what comes to be a full sixty seconds. “I’m sorry, but…are you asking to hire me as your girlfriend?”
“If that language makes you feel better, then you may call it that.”
“But you can hire any woman off the street. Women more willing than me.”
“I want you.”
My statement is basic, said plainly with zero room for doubt. She spends another few seconds staring long and hard at me. I can practically see the gears in that stubborn mind of hers as they twist and turn. She’s weighing her options.
“Am I required to have sex with you?”
“You’re not required to do anything you don’t want to. Your body is yours to give away when you choose.”
“IfI choose,” she says haughtily. “And Iwon’t. Not to you.”
A dismissive grin shows itself on my face. “That’s what you say now. But I believe differently.”
She rolls her eyes. “How much money?”
“How much would you like? I can cut you a check for several million. Enough to live off of in many other countries.”
Her brows jump. “Who are you?”
“I’ve told you, I’m Gio.”
“Yeah, but Giowho?”
“That’s information for another day. Is this a yes or a no to my proposal?”
“Will you kill me if it’s a no?”
“You’ll live regardless. But I can’t promise my next offer will be as good as this, whatever it may be.”
She exhales a deep breath and slaps hands to her cheeks. Fingers pressed into her skin, she stares at me as if concerned this is some kind of trap. Finally, she gives up and reaches for the drink I’ve fixed her. She downs it in one sloppy swallow, droplets spilling onto her satin-encased breasts.
“Fine,” she whispers. Her eyes meet mine. “I’ll do it.”
