“That’s too bad. I was calling to let you know that we already have an interested buyer.”
Buyer.
I cringe as the word ricochets around in my head.
There’s actually a man who wants to buy my virginity?
That seems crazy.
My teeth scrape across my lower lip as I stare at the thinning crowd. “You mentioned that someone might want…proof.” Nausea stirs in my belly. “Is that a requirement?”
“Actually, he didn’t mention it.” There’s a beat of silence. “That’s good news for you.”
“Yeah…good news.” I’m slammed with another thought. “Is he…old?”
Why am I even asking?
It doesn’t matter.
“Sorry,” Chloe says primly. “I can’t disclose any details regarding clients. The same way I wouldn’t give out any pertinent info about you. The important thing is that he has funds and is willing to pay.”
I tip my face upward toward the blue, cloudless sky and allow the bright rays of sunshine to beat down on me. With the chill in the air, it’s invigorating.
Confusion rushes in.
Can I really treat this like a business transaction and sell my V-card to a complete stranger?
The flipside is that I need to pay for school by the end of the week. Wouldn’t I rather do that than move back home?
Even if it’s just for six months?
It’s a shitty choice.
One I shouldn’t be forced to make.
Anger rushes through me as my fingers tighten around the slim device.
As I glance around, watching people laugh and joke, oblivious to my inner turmoil, my attention gets snagged by a tall, muscular guy standing about thirty feet away. The moment our gazes fasten, electricity sizzles through my veins.
In the past, if our gazes happened to collide across a crowded room or on campus, I’ve always been quick to rip mine away and pretend it didn’t occur. It’s taken me a long time to blot him out of my life.
I’m unable to do that this time.
“Fallyn?” Chloe says, pulling my distracted attention back to the call. “Are you still there?”
“Yeah,” I mutter, eyes narrowed. “Sorry.”
Fury flares within me as we continue to lock eyes. He should have the common decency to look away and leave me in peace. I’ve always been careful to avoid the places he hangs out. Lately, it seems like we’ve been running into each other with more frequency.
I don’t like it.
We’re no longer friends and haven’t been for a long time.
Not only did he steal the most important person from my life, but his family bankrupted mine, forcing my father to leave the company they started more than twenty years ago.
This is what Wolf Westerville has reduced me to—selling my fucking virginity to a stranger so I can continue my education. Rage like I’ve never felt engulfs my insides as I glare, willing him to do the right thing and back down.
“Let me think about it.”
