“How was your day?” he asked.
“Fine,” I spoke as I continued painting.
He walked over to where I was and stood behind me.
“You’re painting the sea?” he asked.
“The sea is only part of it.”
“It’s beautiful. You have great artistic talent.”
“Thank you. My mother was an artist. My dad told me that she loved to paint and had a very creative mind. She would tell stories with her portraits.”
“And what’s this story?” he asked.
“You’ll see once it’s finished.” A small smile crossed my lips.
“I brought home dinner. Come and eat and we can discuss some things.”
“I’ll be down in a minute. I just want to finish this last part.”
“Very well.” He turned and walked away.
Once I finished, I placed my brush in the water and took the elevator down to the kitchen. When I stepped out, I noticed Gabriel wasn’t there, so I went to the dining room where he had the table set and bowls of pasta, salad, and bread were laid out.
“I got meat sauce, plain sauce, and alfredo. I didn’t know what you liked.”
“All are fine. Thanks.” I took a seat and placed the napkin on my lap.
My nerves were getting the best of me in anticipation of what he wanted to discuss, and I could no longer wait.
“So talk, Gabriel,” I spoke as I picked up my fork.
He cleared his throat as he set his napkin on his lap.
“The way you’re going to pay me back is by being my companion for thirty days. A thousand dollars a night.”
I arched my brow at him. “Excuse me?”
“You will work off your debt by having sex with me every night. You will do as I say and do what I want. You will attend events with me and travel if necessary.”
“I’m not a fucking prostitute!” I deadpanned.
“Really, Kate? You seduce men, have sex with them, get them to fall in love with you, and then you take payment. If that isn’t prostitution, I don’t know what is.”
“You son of a bitch.” I shook my head.
“There’s no need for name calling. If you agree, which you really have no choice, you will be able to leave the house, with a bodyguard, of course, whenever you please. We will have dinner every night together and then we will go to my room and have sex. When we are finished, you will go back to your room and we’ll see each other in the morning. Once the thirty days is up, you will leave and go back to your apartment and to your life.”
“Are you that lonely of a man that you have to resort to this?” I narrowed my eye at him.
“I’m not lonely at all. This actually works out perfect for me. No emotions, no strings, nothing. And if you look at it, it’s perfect for you too.”
“How?” I asked.
“You’re incapable of feelings. It’s just another job for you. Clearly, you had no problems or trouble walking away from all the other men you ripped off and I won’t be any different.”
“And if I don’t agree?”
