“I’m sorry.” He’d been too brusque. He needed to charm this woman. He was already at two strikes–rude and working her daughter long hours. He couldn’t afford another one. “It’s just that I need to speak with her. I want to discuss an offer I made her earlier tonight.” Time to add some pressure to his case. “Did she tell you? It’s quite lucrative.” She wouldn’t have told her mother. From what she’d said, dear mom was a bit old fashioned when it came to premarital sex.
“No, she didn’t. What kind of offer?”
“Perhaps I should let Alison tell you. It’s very good news.”
“Yes, that’s probably best.” Estelle didn’t sound happy about it.
“I wonder why she didn’t mention it,” he said.
“She probably forgot.”
“Hmm. It’s possible but the offer of a partnership in my business isn’t something that slips one’s mind.”
“A partnership?” Estelle’s face brightened. “That’s wonderful. She’s worked so hard for you.”
“Yes, she has, and she should be rewarded.” Oh, he’d reward her all right with sex, lots of it.
“That’s wonderful. Oh, where are my manners? Would you like some coffee or tea?”
“Thank you. Coffee would be wonderful.” He followed her into the kitchen. “Do you expect Alison home shortly?”
“Please, sit.” Estelle motioned to the table and began preparing the coffee.
“I really do need to speak with her.” He pulled out a chair and sat.
“Have you called her or texted?”
“This is better discussed in person.” He’d known Alison long enough to know that right now, she’d ignore his calls and texts. When Estelle looked at him, he added, “There are contracts to sign.”
“Oh, of course.” She smiled. “I’m sorry but I don’t know when she’ll be home. She’s on a date.”
“Bloody hell. I thought she cancelled that.” He stood. That wasn’t going to happen. She wasn’t having sex tonight. She wasn’t getting laid until she was in his bed with his dick inside her. He wasn’t in the mood to wait another month or two to make sure some other man’s sperm hadn’t impregnated her.
“Excuse me, Mr. Harker. I don’t appreciate that language.”
“Sorry.” He was glad he hadn’t said fuck, or he’d never get her help. “But this is a time sensitive issue.” Yeah, his dick needed some release. “I need to speak with her tonight.”
“I’ll tell her to text you when she gets home. You can come back then.”
That wasn’t going to work. “Is there any way you could tell me where she went?” He had no problem interrupting her date. “I won’t bother her for long.” No, he’d convince her to leave. If she was that interested in getting laid, he had no problem whatsoever in going back to his place and fucking.
“I wish I could, but I really don’t know where she went.”
“Dam…shoot.” He cringed. He hadn’t said shoot since before his mom had started using drugs and bringing home drug dealers. He’d been dropping the F-bomb since he was eight. “Could you perhaps call her and ask her to come home?”
“Why don’t you call her?” She sat the coffee on the table.
He patted his pockets. “I forgot my cell phone.” He gave her a sheepish look. “I never remember to grab the da…dang thing.” He never forgot his cell phone and prayed it didn’t decide to beep now.
“Hmm. I don’t know. I don’t think she’d answer if I called. She’s been looking forward to this date for a long time. Maybe my sister knows.” She headed into the living room and over to the stairs before hollering, “Tiff come down to the kitchen. Alison’s boss is here, and he needs to speak with her. Do you know where she went on her date?”
“I’ll be right there,” yelled another woman.
Estelle walked back into the kitchen. She poured another cup of coffee and carried the two mugs to the table. “I hope she can help. She and Alison have always been close.” She took a sip of her coffee. “A young woman can tell her aunt things that she won’t tell her mother.”
He had no idea how to respond to that, so he drank some of his coffee. “This is very good.”
“Thank you.”
