For some reason having her talk so business-like irritated me, and I wanted to get the conversation over with as quickly as possible so I thought of a number that she couldn't say no to.

"I will give you five-thousand dollars to be on call whenever I need you for the next week. For whatever reason." I raised my brow, challenging her to refuse me.

"Five—seriously?"

"As I said, it will be foranythingI might require.” My eyes darted from the bed back to her and her face lit up with recognition.

“Oh.” I wasn't sure if her reaction was because she didn't like that idea or because she did, but she looked away shyly. “Okay.” She said definitively and looked up at me. “It's a deal.”

“Good. I'll speak with Delphine and see how much I should pay her to reserve your time for the week.”

“But I thought you said…”

“The five thousand will be on top of whatever arrangement you have with Delphine. I don't want to step on her toes, but at the same time, she doesn't usually offer extended periods of time with her girls after their shifts are over so that part of our arrangement will need to be just between us.”

"I see."

“The first thing that I need is for you to accompany me to dinner Thursday evening. I'll need you to wear something elegant but simple.” I thought for a moment then continued. “A classic little black dress would work well, something a girlfriend would wear not something a prostitute would choose.”

She looked offended by what I had said and that bewildered me.

“What was that look for?”

“What look?”

“That scowl when I told you what to wear. Is it not a good thing for me to let you know what you were expected to wear for our first outing?”

“Of course, it is, and I'm grateful to know. I need all the details I can get so that I can be prepared.”

“But?” I pushed.

“I didn't like you calling me a prostitute.”

“But that's what you are isn't it? You have sex with men for money?”

“I…technically I guess.”

I could not figure that girl out. I chuckled to myself.

“Is something amusing?”

“I didn't realize that there were different degrees of prostitute. Either you have sex for money, or you don't.”

“Well, technically I haven't received payment for tonight.”

“And this was your first time.” I recalled.

She looked uncomfortable and squirmed under my gaze. I liked watching her squirm, but I hid my amusement and pleasure in that behind a stoic expression.

“I would like for you to be exclusively with me during our time together this week,” I said the words before I even realized what I was saying, and she looked surprised.

“So, you're wanting a monogamous prostitute?” She shot back and I was impressed by her wit.

I had to think quickly why I would want that without saying my true feelings, that I didn't like the idea of her being with someone else. I didn't want that image in my head for the next week while I was with her. “It keeps us from having to be tested multiple times and now I don't have to worry about any potential exposure. Besides, if I need you quickly for some reason I don't want to have to wait for you to finish up with some other guy before you can come to me. I'm paying enough to have you exclusive for a week and I could request that you just stay with me during that time but instead I'm simply requesting that you keep your schedule open for me.”

“I understand.” She nodded.

“Good. I will pick you up by seven tomorrow evening.”
