Maybe Mouse knew the effect she had on me, or maybe it was all because of Ace, but her head fell back, gluing itself on my chest. ‘My feet are killing me,’ she whimpered moving from one leg to another.

‘I don’t like couches, they give meideas.’ As if I didn’t already have enough ideas as it was.

I wanted to sneak my hands under her dress so badly that I was being to think that my new obsession could be read all over my face. I didn’t know what was actually wrong with me, but I hadn’t felt the kind of attraction I felt towards Mouse in a very long time — if I had even ever felt it before.

And another fucking interruption! ‘I’m going to go and get myself a drink, then return,’ Aria, one of the leeches that usually levitate around me, was actually hoping that I would give a fuck about her presence.

At least no one was buzzing around me any longer. I could finish my idea. Bea needed to know I was onto the tricks Ace was recuring to. ‘Don’t try to play with fire. You may find me to be the perfect match.’ I smirked, waiting for the moment we were really going to play with fire. ‘He’s watching you, isn’t he? Ace is an idiot. I’ve lost a fucking bet and this shithead took advantage of that. Now, I’m stuck with you, so unless you’re in for a threesome when Aria returns, I suggest we get out of here.’

I left for the garden without waiting for an answer. She had no choice but to follow me there, so it really didn’t have a point to play the gentleman. Besides, it wasn’t in my manner to act chivalrous in any way.

‘What are we doing here?’ Mouse’s curiosity surfaced the instant she found a seat on a tree swing.

‘I didn’t have anything particular in mind, I just wanted to escape the house, but I’m sure that I can think of something.’ I was throwing out small chunks of bait, to see what I could catch.

‘We could just talk....’

That made me laugh on the inside.

‘Ok talk.’

‘I was curious what was the bet about?’

‘Hmmm,’ nothing that I could talk to her about. However, for the right price, who knows? ‘Kiss me and I’m going to tell you. You can do it here.’ I hauled my shirt already imagining her warm lips over my torso. My index reached the base of my V-line. ‘Or here.’ I raised my hand further up until I reached the nipple piercing I had made just a month ago. Great acquisition in my book. A little painful, but a total turn-on.

‘It doesn’t count as losing the bet as long asyou’rethe one kissing me,’ I was speaking only in the hopes I would get her to abandon her goodie-two-shoes principles.

‘Does it have something to do with the fact that you no longer have money?’ It felt like the cassette tape just got caught in the player, stopping anything I might have been thinking on and bringing me back to reality.

‘What the fuck did you say!?’ I was furiously mad, catching the rope of her swing to keep her above ground.

I controlled her.

I controlled everything.

Not the other way around!

‘I’m sorry, I didn’t realize what I said.’ I could hear the hint of regret in her voice, but it didn’t change anything.

‘My father just put a lot of money into some congressman’s election. It’s just a matter of time before we will cash in on it.’ I was brewing up a plan that had been circling my mind ever since the evening began. And she just handed me the tools to have things my way, ‘Which brings me to my next point... There is something about you that I want, and there is something that I have that you need.’

‘What could you possibly have that I need!?’

‘Protection. You said something about needing the money to get custody. I can get you the custody and all the legal protection you may need. My father owns some politicians. And I control my father. No institution would dare to come after you in this city. And no money necessary.’

‘You would do this?’

‘For a certain price, of course.’ Everything had a price in this life, ‘You think that what you tried to pull on me tonight wouldn’t go unpunished, Mouse? You think that I could let things go after you talked back to me? I could always have charmed my way into those pretty panties of yours, but it will be a lot more fun like this.’

‘Like what, Cole? Youthinkthat I would sleep with you? You said yourself that I’m the Virgin Mary.’

‘And I will let you have that... For now.’ I had so many other ways to have my fun with her that mere sex didn’t even sound interesting at that time.

‘Sorry to disappoint you.’

‘Don’t need to be. You’re not going to. You will agree to be mine, and I, in return will give you what you need.’ Maybe she thought she still had an escape from this, but I knew better. From that moment on, I owned her. ‘Now run away, Mouse. Our time together is over... for the night.’

I freed her swing so she could run back to wherever she came from. The party was dying anyway and Ace had just blown his shot at getting me to mess up and lose the bet.
