She twists her hands together, and I let mine curl into loose fists. I’m not going to touch her. I swear, I’m not going to touch her.
“He wasn’t my husband, actually,” she says. “He was my fiancé, but he’s not anymore. We’re over. He left.”
Is that right?
“Without leaving enough money to cover the rent? The kind of people who live in this building have second homes in Europe.”
Maddie looks at me, her eyes painfully hopeful. “He was that kind of person. He was going to be, anyway, but I’m not. I hope you know that this isn’t a long-term problem. I have a plan to fix it, I just need more time because I wasn’t prepared for this. If I go to him, I’m sure he’ll simply end the lease, and there’s nothing around here that I can afford and that’s available. I’ve been off the market for a couple of years, so it’s taking me longer than I thought to find a job.”
“Off the market?” Fuck my cock hardens in an instant.The fuck is wrong with me?
“Out of the job market. My ex thought it would be better for his career if I focused on philanthropy instead of building my own career, so that’s what I did. And I don’t regret it. I helped a lot of people, but I’m at a loss at the moment. I paid everything but the five hundred and everyone said that I needed to talk to you.”
“What’s the exact situation with the rent, Maddie? You can’t afford any of it?”
“No, I can afford most of it. I’m five hundred dollars short. And I’ll give you anything you want to cover it.”
I have to get up and walk out. Her words are a wet dream, and I’d take them in a heartbeat.
She has no idea about the thoughts coming through my head.
“Anything,” she insists.
So I look her in the eye. “We can come to an arrangement.”
“Oh, thank you. Thank you so much. What kind of arrangement?”
“I have an idea,” I say, intent on extending the payment date or halving her rent. I can barely think though, with the thoughts of her telling me “anything” as if I could simply have anything from her.
My gaze drops to her breasts and I have to admit, I would take whatever she offered.
“If you want me, you can have me however you’d like.”
Fuck, this is not something I ever thought I’d do, but the way she’s looking at me and the way she makes me feel… Before I can stop myself, I agree to what she’s suggesting.
“What exactly is it that you have in mind?”
“I think…I’m not sure. I haven’t…”
A moment passes and then I offer in desperation, “A quick fuck then?”
Instantly I regret it.Quick? What the fuck was I thinking? And just once?
“You really want me?” she questions, and I can’t believe I have any ability to hide it.
“From the moment I saw you in that elevator.”
