He laughs then. When he finally sobers, his eyes gleam at me. “There’s no catch. I promise. My terms are simple enough. No loopholes. No fine print.”
When I still don’t say anything, he prompts me again, “So are you coming home with me tonight or going back to your apartment?”
“I have to decide right now?” I ask him incredulously.

He interrupts me with a wave of his hand, his eyes gleaming victoriously like he’s already won. “It’ll all be taken care of.”
I hesitate a moment longer. “What do you get out of all this?” I ask him.
His eyes hold mine as he answers frankly, “What I want.”

“Yes or no?” he prompts me one last time, his fingers starting to drum on the table in impatience.
It’s really a no-brainer.
“Yes,” I agree.
