She hired him to take her virginity...but now she wants even more.
Lori might be a popular romance writer, but she's never been anything but a flop with sex and love in her personal life. Still a virgin at twenty-six and increasingly frustrated by her inexperience, she decides to take matters into her own hands. She hires a talented, sexy male escort to take care of her inconvenient virginity.
She assumes one time with Ander will be enough, but she never dreams how much pleasure he can make her feel. Once isn't nearly enough. Twice isn't enough either. Soon, she becomes one of his regular clients.
Lori knows that nothing would be as foolish as falling in love with her paid escort, but she's never been wise with her heart. And, despite his professionalism, he doesn't seem entirely immune either.
EXCERPT
“Did
you have any questions about the prices your friend explained to you?” Ander
asked. “You’ll pay for an entire evening. That’s the base price. I offer
nothing lower than that.”
She
looked up at him, frowning. He didn’t have a website like some escorts, instead
relying on personal referrals, but details Sabrina had gotten from the women
she’d talked to were quite clear. She was a professional woman. Not an idiot.
“Yes, I was able to understand the services you offer and what you charge for
them,” she said, her tone a little snippy.
His
mouth twitched, so slightly she almost didn’t catch it. “Good. I just wanted to
make it clear that you pay for the entire evening, whether or not you use it. I
don’t hire myself out by the hour.”
For
some reason, his dry tone made her want to snicker again. She stifled it, in
case he would mistake it for mockery. “Understood.”
“We
can do whatever you like for the evening. I can act as escort, play a part if
you want or provide general companionship. If you’re interested in anything
sexual, that will cost extra.”
Lori
couldn’t believe she was sitting here, in the middle of a park in downtown
Seattle, having this conversation. Her cheeks burned involuntarily, but she wasn’t
as mortified as she’d expected. Ander was so business-like and matter-of-fact
about the situation that it helped Lori feel that way too.
“I
thought I made my interests clear when we talked on the phone,” she said.
Ander
nodded. “Of course. The prices differ for oral on you, oral on me, and full
intercourse.”
A
nagging question that had been bugging her for a few days prompted her to ask,
“Who would pay you that much money for you
to get the blow job?”
Again,
that slight twitch of his mouth. She wasn’t even sure it meant anything—his
expression was generally so calm as to be stoic. But she found that occasional
little quiver of his mouth the most appealing thing about him. “Women have
different desires when they make use of my services. Some find giving more
thrilling than receiving. Some simply want the practice.”
Lori
thought about that for a moment. It was something she’d never even considered
before.
Ander
cleared his throat, bringing her attention back to him. “Perhaps you can give
me a little information about your goals for this engagement.”
She
nodded. “Right. Well, I sure as hell wouldn’t pay this much money for a date.”
She took a breath. Summoned all her fortitude and courage. “I want to have
sex.”
“Yes,
but what are your goals for the sex? Are you looking for a particular mood or
brand of excitement? Do you just want to relieve tension? Get something you
can’t get from other partners? I’m not trying to pry into your personal
motivations, but I need a little direction if we’re to make this a successful
engagement.”
“Right.”
She shifted on the bench. Told herself she would be paying this man a lot of
money a few days from now so she had nothing to be embarrassed about. And
surely he’d encountered a lot of stranger things in his line of work. “I want
to have sex because I haven’t had it before. Yet.”
