"What else are you going to call me?"
I whisper so only he can hear, trying to hide a smile."Sugar daddy."
"Oh, Madison, I'm going to enjoy punishing you for every bit of cheekiness."
Excitement tickles my stomach."I can't wait, Zeus."
Zeus
CHAPTER TWENTY-TWO
"It's quite big."
"Yes, it's a little over a hundred square meters."
Actually, it's more than three hundred, but I don't own any smaller residences.
"Is there a subway nearby?" She tries to play it cool, as if this is no big deal, but her eyes shine as she looks at the backyard.
"Yes, but you won't need it. Larry will be at your service to take you to the nightclub. And I'll bring you back."
She's facing away from me, her sexy ass swaying with the gentle movements of her round hips. "I won't only be going to the nightclub. I have other commitments."
"Then I'll arrange for a driver to serve you."
"Will it make a difference if I say no?"
"What do you think?"
"That you’re managing to be even more arrogant than your brother."
"It's natural. I'm older."
"How much older? My mother asked your age, and I didn't know how to answer."
"Thirty-four. I guess we really do fit the baby and daddy roles, although that name sounds kind of incestuous."
She laughs. "Believe me, you don't remind me of my father at all."
"Are you finished looking at the house? Is this the one?"
"Is it yours?"
"Yes."
"You won't need it for a year? Because I won't return it sooner. A deal's a deal." She seems ready to fight if necessary, and I guess she must have done that all her life: fought for every little conquest.
"No. No matter what happens between us, it'll be yours for a year, Madison."
"Did you bring the lawyer's contract?"
I clench my jaw, trying to contain the irritation, and nod my head. I messaged her earlier today to let her know that my lawyer would meet us here to sign the contract, because as much as it pains me, I won't go back on my word. Madison said the lawyer didn’t need to come, that it was enough for her if we sign it together without any witnesses.
The woman knots my brain. More than once she told me she doesn't usually trust people, yet she trusts me all the time.
"How do you know I didn't just download it from the internet? How can you be sure it's valid?" I ask, throwing common sense out the window. I grab her hand and lead her inside the house. I want her, and having to sign a damn contract to have her is a blow to my pride.
"Trust isn't something you give halfway, Zeus, and I've given mine to you. I know you wouldn't deceive me. You wouldn't do that to me."
