“We should get some food on the way home.” Madison turns her smile toward Victor. “Your boss give you a company card?”
“I’m not hungry.” I shoot Andre’s closed door another glare as the elevator doors close.
“Doesn’t have to be for you.” Madison rests her head on my shoulder. “Maybe get something for your roommates?”
I huff out a breath. “Fine.”
Feeding Barney and my mother is the least Andre can do. I should get something out of this.
Besides the orgasm he provided.
I press my fingers into my temples as the elevator descends, closing my eyes against the tension headache I can feel taking root.
Andre’s going to give me a brain bleed from whiplash.
One minute he’s saving me from humiliation in a room full of people.
The next he’s on his knees torturing me with the tip of his tongue.
Until he decides to dry hump me against a wall.
If I didn’t know better I’d think his interest in me was more than whatever deal he thinks we’ve made.
Then again, I’m being escorted out of his house for a second time.

“HE REALLY DIDa number on this thing, didn’t he?” Madison sits on the end of my twin bed, holding up the remnants of the bra she let me borrow for my failed entry into the world of stripping. “Hopefully Carlos roughed him up a little.”
I don’t tell her the guy is lucky Carlos is the one who got his hands on him and not Andre. “Did they kick the whole group out?”
“Oh yeah.” Madison chucks the bra across the room, managing to get it into the trash can tucked into the corner. “They were super drunk though, so they tried to put up a fight.” My best friend smirks at me. “Vi ended up in the middle of it and I’m pretty sure she gave one of them a dominatrix kink.”
I press my lips together. “Do you think dominatrix make a lot of money?”
“I think it doesn’t matter to you.” Madison sucks down a mouthful of the milkshake she made Victor stop to buy her on the way home. “I’m pretty sure it’s not in your wheelhouse.”
“That doesn’t mean I won’t still try it if I can make money at it.” I slump down into the desk chair where I sit to tally every step I take forward, financially and personally. “I’ve attempted worse.”
I sold my virginity for God’s sake.
Which I’m still in possession of.
For a second in Andre’s room I thought that might change, and part of me was relieved to just have it over with.
Done.
“And we see how that worked out for you.” Madison kicks off her shoes and curls both legs under her. “You’re stuck dealing with a crazy dude who doesn’t want you to be his but freaks out at the thought that someone else might.”
“That’s not true.” Before tonight I might have agreed with her, but it’s obvious that Andre wants me in the physical sense.
Obvious enough that even I can see it.
Madison scoffs, making it clear she doesn’t share my opinion. “He jumped up on the stage and covered you up so no one else could see you.”
Is that what happened?
I’m not convinced. “But I have most of the money I need for my mom’s treatment because of him.”
