“I’m a coward because I made a mistake and you keep pressing the issue?” I smirk. “That’s what it was, a mistake. One that I have no intention of repeating.”

She stares at me for a long moment. We’re momentarily interrupted by our entrees.

Once they’re set down and the waiter moves, we avoid looking at one another for a few awkward moments. Then she says, “You’re such a fucking liar.”

I stare at her, my lips parted.

Nobody in my life speaks to me this way. If they did, they’d be less a limb quick smart.

Nobody in my office would utter anything except platitudes. I’m deeply respected by everyone in the industry I work, and my employees and long-time staff — Hell, by people I don’t even know but. But to hear this? It only makes my blood boil all the more.

“Why do you say that?”

She leans forward. “I had your cock in my mouth, and you loved every second of it. Nothing you say or do will tell me otherwise.”

My dick jerks in my pants. She’s a sassy little thing and it turns me on. It shouldn’t. I should get up, walk away from this table and never see her again. But my feet don’t fucking move.

“You just love being right, don’t you?”

“So I am?”

“Touching my dick doesn’t make us close. I paid you for sex. That’s what it was. A transaction.” I mean to upset her. To make her understand. To make her go the fuck away. If she leaves now, then I’m off the hook. Like the goddamn coward she told me I was.

She laughs. It would be a pretty sound if it weren’t directed at me. “Wow. You just love your ‘Prescott transactions’, don’t you, old boy? Maybe I should get you a plaque made. You had indecent dealings with two Prescott women. Bravo. A real high achiever.”

“I never touched your mother. She was into women, remember?”

Heat rises in her eyes. “But you did touch me.”

“Charlize. You need to understand something.” I wave a finger between us. “This. It’s never going to happen. Not ever. So whatever sick little fantasy you have in your head about us you may as well extinguish now. I can’t do it. Not with you.”

Her eyes wander down my body and I’ve no clue why she’s torturing me like this. It’s like she knows all my weaknesses and she’s quite willing and able to exploit them.

“I bet if I checked right now, you’d have a dick as hard as a rod.”

I swallow hard. She’s not wrong. My dick strains against my zipper as I try to stay focussed on anything but her smart mouth using foul language.

“Clearly you know noth—” I trail off when I feel movement between my legs. Glancing down, I see Charlize’s foot in my crotch. Somehow she kicked off her shoe and she’s now massaging my dick with her toes. “Fuck.”

“So, I have a proposition.” She keeps at it and when my hand clamps down on her ankle, I know I’ve got her attention.

“Stop it.”

“Can’t you just hear me out?”

“Take your foot out of my lap.”

“Make me.” She wiggles the ball of her foot against my wood and I almost come in my pants.

I steel my jaw, clenching my teeth so hard I hear the grind. I want to close my eyes and let her have at it. Somehow, I compose myself.

“Charlize.”

“Don’t overthink it.” Even without her foot against my dick, her voice alone is like foreplay. “It’s so much better when you just go with it.”

“Why are you doing this?”

She stops her rubbing, but her foot still stays pressed up against my hardened length. “Because I know you want it. As much as you deny it, I know that’s not true.”
