Page 37 of Seduced By Contract

"Why do you need the house?"

"I have to move out of this neighborhood," she says, not looking at me.

"Why?"

"I don't want to tell you my problems. I want to enjoy this time together."

Even though it goes against my nature not to delve deeper when I want to find something out, I play along. "Enjoy how, Madison?"

"I want more of everything we did today."

"We haven't signed the contract yet," I remind her because I also need to be mindful of the deadline. She's too sexy, and muddling things between us will only make the separation harder.

"I know you'll take care of everything. I'm not worried."

"What will you do tomorrow afternoon?" I change the subject because it's hard not to blur the lines when she sounds so innocent and vulnerable.

"Work, as always."

"Stop with the cleaning. You don't need to do it anymore. I left ten thousand dollars in tips on the two days I went to SIN."

"What?"

"You didn't check your tips?"

"No," she says, her face showing astonishment. "Don't do that again. I would never earn that much for a dance."

"You said you didn't want financial help besides the house, and I agreed, but I'll come to the club several nights a week for private dances."

"You're not trying to make me exclusively yours, right?"

I don't answer because that's exactly my intention.

"That's not right, Zeus."

"Pick your battles, Madison. By my standards, I've already compromised too much in our agreement."

"How? I've said I’ll do everything you want."

I pull her into a kiss. "You have no idea how crazy you make me when you say that."

"Why?"

"Because all I can think about is you naked in my bed and me tasting every inch of your body."

Before I know it, she's straddling my lap. "I'm not the type to jump into things, but in these months we'll be together, I want it all, Zeus."

We kiss for so long that we have to pull away to catch our breath.

"You're coming to my house tomorrow after the club. You won't come back here."

She looks like she's about to protest, but then she changes her mind. "Okay, but I need to come home on Sunday."

"Why?"

"I have a commitment."

I grab her hair so she looks at me, because when she said that, she lowered her head. "I don't share, Madison."
