“I was certain Jayden was looking for a big pay day when he did all those interviews—”

“So did Todd.”

“But Jayden has money from all his endorsement deals as a multi-metal Olympian winner. Also, he hasn’t been in the media in the past week. Derek’s other lover made a big splash in the media. He had his fifteen minutes of fame, but we haven’t heard from him in days. Neither of these men made any monetary requests. Their time in the spotlight wasn’t a cash grab. It’s almost as if it was bragging rights.”

“Is Harry looking for a quick payday?”

“He wants the moon, the stars, and the sun on a silver platter encrusted with diamonds. In less poetic terms, the asswipe is threatening me—”

“What?”

“He informed me he was shopping for an agent to help him publish a tell all book of the juicy scandal.” His annoyance is audible. “Level two, is to turn said tell all book into a Netflix documentary, or better yet, a big screen movie.”

“Dear God.”

“I haven’t even gotten to the best part yet.”

His words send chills down my spine. “There’s more?”

“So much more.” He sneers. “The windfall of millions of dollars from those deals could shut him up… unless I want to expedite things and avoid all the drama by forking out enough money so he never has to work a day in his life.”

“You’re not going to cave in?”

“That’s what seventeen-year-old Harry is counting on. I don’t know who his advisor is—”

“That’s extortion, Bryce! Don’t let him corner you! Don’t let him win!”

Traumatizing memories wash over me.

I know a thing or two about being cornered.

“Harry is giving me seven days to pay up or deal with the media onslaught, and impact on my business. He calls it guilty by association.”

“How much is he asking for?”

“Twenty million dollars.”

“What a greedy asshole.”

“He is.” Bryce snickers. “The fucker has no idea who he’s dealing with. This is war.”

Chapter 22

Sofia

Two weeks go by without a word from Bryce. I don’t want to keep texting him because he has a code red situation on his hands.

By the third week, I get an unexpected text on my escort-gig-only phone.

Alistair: Not sure if you kept my number. I kept yours. I’m going back to South America to close more deals, and wanted to know if you’d consider coming with me. I’ll double your rate again. I’m leaving in three days. If you’re free, can you confirm with Todd? I’m going to call him right now.

What great timing.

Bryce left money for only ten days.

Luck would have it, Todd booked me for the past two nights with an exhibitionist couple—I’m meeting them tonight and tomorrow night as well. The husband didn’t want to fuck another woman. The couple wanted someone in the bedroom to watch. Their only requests were for me to wear sexy lingerie, play with my pussy as I watch them, and come.

Done, done, and done!
