I grabbed her wrist. “Oh I haven’t seen nearly enough.”
She tugged away again. “And you won’t.”
“Why not?” My tone was tortured. I never begged a woman, but I felt desperate for her.
Her lips twisted. “It’s a bad idea. You’re friends with my brothers. We’re enemies.”
I scoffed. “We’re only enemies because you treat me that way. We could have been business partners.”
“I tried that, remember? You turned me down.”
“You wanted to be my sole wedding planner. I didn’t want to depend on someone whose business was elsewhere.” I wasn’t sure where I was going with this. I preferred making brides use my planner.
The majority of my brides wanted Gia, and I strong-armed them into using Hannah. I stood by my business practices because it was extra profit for me. I needed to get this conversation back on track because if she was able to keep her distance, she’d never give us another chance.
“What are you saying, Silas? Spell it out for me.”
“I have a proposition for you.”
Her eyes flared.
“You handle one bride. But it has to be you. Not one of your employees.”
“Ireland and Aria are perfectly capable of handling a wedding,” Gia said carefully.
“That may be so, but my couples wantyou.”
Her eyes widened.
I stepped closer, my hand still encircling her wrist. I felt the flutter of her pulse and the delicate bones of her wrist. “When they come to me, they always ask if they can useyou, not Ireland or Aria. You are the face of your company. You’re the brand.”
She studied my face. “You want to work with me?”
I grinned. “That’s right. You’ll come to my resort and work with one couple.”
“How would we handle compensation?”
Gia was used to pocketing the entire fee, so this would be a challenge. “For every bride that is a referral from you, you’ll get ten percent.”
“Are these couples I’m working with?”
“The ones you’re not. If you work directly with the bride, you’ll get fifty.”
She shook her head. “That’s not enough.”
“It’s fair. I researched rates. And if you don’t work with this one couple, then the deal is off.” I was prepared to go a little higher. Gia wasn’t the sort of woman who took anyone’s first offer.
“We’d need to negotiate the rate. Do you have a couple in mind?”
“I’ll find one and send you the information.” My heart picked up that she was considering my proposal. I’d gotten Harrison to work with me on a similar angle. I liked to make them an offer they couldn’t refuse. But Gia was different. I needed to secure her presence in my life. It was worth more than the perfect deal.
“Send me the information and let me think about it.”
My jaw tightened. “This is a limited-time deal, Gia.”
She gave me a look. “It sounds like you need me.”
“Oh I do.” In my bed and riding my cock. Maybe taking her from behind. But I didn’t think that’s what she was talking about.
