Page 73 of Mid-Thirties Slightly Hot Mess Female Seeking Billionaire

"What do you mean?"

"I mean, if you think you're so good, prove it."

"Prove it how?"

"Show me."

"Show you what?"

"I think, if you think that you're that great of a dancer and you can work a pole, I'll give you $20,000. If you show me a dance on a pole that is worthy of the best strip club in town, that is."

She stares at me for a few seconds. "$20,000?"

"Yep. No questions asked."

"And I don't have to do anything."

"Do anything like what?" I stare at her innocently. I mean, am I hoping that strip dance will lead to us fucking? Of course. But I'm not going to tell her that.

"I don't have to give you a lap dance or do anything kinky?"

"Nope. You just have to dance. And if I think it's worthy of 20 grand..."

"How do I know that you’re going to be fair?”

"I'll be honest." I put my hands up. “I promise."

"Fine," She says. "I will show you that I'm the best dancer you've ever seen."

"Really?" I burst out laughing. "The best?"

"Yes," She glares at me. "I am fly."

"Okie dokie, Sarah. This I got to see."

"Well, fine. Come over tonight, 8:00 PM. And bring the 20 grand."

"Okay. It seems like you really want that money."

"Well," she says, "You offered it. And you don't seem to have faith in my dancing skills." She jumps up out of the chair and spins around, "But I'll have you know, I've been taking classes for the last six months and my teacher says that I am a natural."

She lifts her leg up and tries to touch her toes with her fingers. She doesn't quite make it, and I can see the small grimace on her face. This is going to be an interesting evening.

"And don't be expecting any funny stuff either, Ethan."

"Would I be?"

"Yeah, you would." She says. "Remember last night you fucked me in a storage room and-"

"And you loved it, don't even lie."

"It was fine." She says. "Nothing to write home about."

"Uh-huh," I wink at her. "That's why you were thinking about me all morning, right?” She stands there blushing, and we stare at each other. My heart races, and I realize that being around her makes me feel more alive than I ever have.
