“I want to put an end to my dad’s debts,” I reply. “Any way I can. I want to talk about it with you. I want to talk about the offer you made to me back in New York.”
“I’m not a man who likes to talk,” the gangster replies darkly. “I am a man who likes action, and there is only one way to erase your father’s debts, and it has to happen right here. Right now.”
“I know what you want, Damon,” I say, practically whispering. “And I am here to negotiate. I’m not playing around.Negotiate.”
The man smiles again.
There’s a devil behind that smile. A very handsome devil.
He leisurely takes a long pause before he speaks.
“The very word I want to hear,” he says. “Let’s make a contract. Let’s negotiate, then.”

AVA
I just takein a deep breath and reiterate to myself, in my mind, of the reason why I am standing here in this office in the first place. I repeat it over and over and over, just so that I don’t lose my freaking mind.
This is the only way to free Dad. This is the only way to end all this. This is the only way.
“Let’s review all aspects of this offer,” Damon says to me quietly as I’m silently trying to reassure myself. “Let’s make sure we’re completely on the same page when it comes to everything I’m proposing, and then I’ll summon my lawyers to draft a contract up immediately.”
“Wouldn’t that take a long time?” I ask. “I mean... calling up lawyers and writing all that surely will take forever...”
The man chuckles darkly to himself as if I’ve made a joke. “I have my legal team available around the clock, Ava. Every hour of the day. I guarantee you that as soon as I pick up my phone, they will swiftly coordinate any necessaryarrangements to my liking with the utmost speed. There will be a contract delivered to us within the hour, I’m sure of it. Now, let’s talk about what we’re both hoping to get out of this agreement.”
“Hang on one second, please. You’re really going to negotiate with me over this?” I ask, incredulously. “With a contract and lawyers and everything? Like it’s some big-shot commercial business deal?”
Damon nods. “We are both adults here, Ava. And we are both entering a consensual contract. I want this to be all protected legally. I want us both to feel as comfortable as necessary before we proceed.”
Proceed? Jesus, he now even sounds like a lawyer. This now sounds like some Wall Street takeover arbitration and not something a lot more… well,sensual.
Damon pulls out a notepad from a drawer in his desk, ready to write down our negotiation. I watch him as he does so. Andnow- seeing him about to actually physically write down his insane offer - it really becomes real.
I take in another deep breath. “So, you really want me to be your mistress? For two whole months?”
The crime boss regards me with his dark eyes.
“That part is non-negotiable,” he says.
“Oh.”
“I really want you to be my mistress,” he adds.
As if I didn’t know.
“Yeah, I’m starting to see that...”
“You are to be willing to indulge in my pleasure without a single hesitation,” he says. “Cater to my whim. That’s the way I want it to be.”
I wonder what those whims might be. A man like Damon would have plenty of dark and terrible desires for sure...
“Okay...”
“You will make yourself completely accessible to me,” he continues.
“Right.”
