“How did you know?” I say, blinking rapidly, heartrate doubling.

“Wasn’t exactly hard to crack.” His head tilts to the side. “Take out your phone and check.”

“This isn’t funny,” I whisper, putting down my drink to do it. I tap in the website and pull up my account info. “Seriously, Gareth. I know it was mean to talk about swallowing your cum but—”

Fucking fuckingfuck.

I stare at my balance. I stare at the last payment.

He really did it.

Gareth really paid it all. Every dime of my student loans, wiped out in one massive deposit.

I’m free.

Holy shit, I’m free.

I burst out in tears. I sob, right there in the bar, unable to help myself. People are staring, but fuck,I’m free, I don’t have to keep taking shitty jobs to make ends meet, I don’t have to live in awful apartments because I can’t afford better. I’m free to be my own person, to do whatever I want.

I’m finally free.

“Oh, shit,” he says, coming to my side. “I’m sorry, I shouldn’t have told you in public. I didn’t think—” He hugs me, trying to soothe me. “It’s okay, Fiona, it’s okay. There are no strings attached. It’s all paid off.”

“I know,” I say, laughing through my tears. “I know, it’s just, you don’t understand.” The relief is so palpable it hurts. I feel like I’ve been walking around with weights on my ankles and wrists, but now they’re gone. I can float. I can drift, I can be light on my feet.

I’m free.

“I’m glad you’re happy,” he whispers, hugging me tighter. He says something to the waitress, just reassuring her that I’m okay, that it’s good news. I get myself together, feeling a little embarrassed, but he toasts me, holding my gaze.

“Here’s to a new life,” I say, laughing like I haven’t laughed in a long while. No edge to my voice, no worries.

“Here’s to you doing whatever you want,” he says, but there’s a sadness in his eyes I don’t understand.

I don’t have time to think about it. I’m too busy texting Cait the good news. Too busy looking at my account again, just to see that zero balance.

“What does this mean for us?” I ask him once he settles the bill and we’re outside, walking through the comfortably brisk Dallas early evening.

“It means whatever you want it to mean,” he says. “I fulfilled part of the contract. There’s still the money, if you want it.”

“More money,” I say, shaking my head. “Honestly, Gareth, I never thought this would happen. I mean I know we made a deal, but—”

He catches my hand in his. “I promised you I’d take care of you. I don’t break my promises.”

I lick my lips, nodding. “I know you don’t.”

“Good.” He leans forward, brushing his mouth against my cheek. “Now, how about you tell me more about wanting to suck my cock?”

I laugh, pushing him away, a thrill in my heart. “Easy there,” I say.

But he orders a car. “Seatbelt,” he reminds me once we’re inside, like always, and it takes us back home.

Chapter33

Fiona

Ikneel on all fours on the couch, completely naked, his cock in my right hand, his tip in my mouth. “Like this?” I say, sliding forward, my ass in the air as my breasts dip down.

He moves deeper into my mouth and throat as his fingers reach around my hips to tease my pussy.
