“The last rule is the most important one. Rule number 9: No falling in love.”

A smile crossed her beautiful face as she spoke, “Love is highly overrated. You don’t need to worry about that, Mr. Caine.”

“Excellent. Your turn.” I grinned.

“Well, I have pretty much the same rules. Instead of four times a week, I have down three. But, if you want four, I won’t object.”

“Why three?” I asked out of curiosity.

“Friday, Saturday, Sunday. The week gets busy for both of us with work and stuff.”

“True, but I think we can squeeze in one more day.” I winked.

“Four it is.” She wrote on her paper. “As for sex, you are right. It is non-negotiable. But what if I’m on my period?” Her brow arched.

“Hmm. How many days does it last?”

“Usually three.”

“Then when it’s that time of the month, we can either say fuck it and do it, or we can switch up days.”

“Deal.” She smiled. “Agree to not seeing other people. We have covered the chocolates already. You are absolutely correct about not blowing up each other’s phones. As for condoms, I’m fine with that since we will only be having sex with each other. I will get that report to you ASAP. I like taking turns on what we’re going to do. But,” she pointed at me, “if I want to take a painting class together, you can’t say no.”

I shrugged. “I like to paint.”

“Absolutely no lying, just truth and open communication. And finally, you will not be allowed to fall in love with me, Mr. Caine.”

“I promise you I won’t.”

“Okay then. I think we’ve covered just about everything. You said six months?”

“Yes. We can try it for six months.” I took a bite of my sandwich. “If anyone breaks any of the above mentioned rules, we cut ties immediately and never see each other again.”

“Deal. But what happens after six months comes to an end?” she asked.

“If things are good with us and we want to continue on as is, then we will,” I replied.

“Oh wait. I do have a rule to add.”

“And what rule is that, Miss Wade?”

“No calling each other boyfriend and girlfriend. When we introduce each other, we will be introduced as friends.”

“Damn it. I can’t believe I didn’t include that one. I agree.” I wrote it down as rule number 10. “Okay, I’ll have Audrey get this over to my attorney and as soon as it’s ready to be signed, I’ll let you know.” I smiled.

“Thanks for lunch.” A sly smile crossed her face as she got up from her chair.

“You’re not leaving yet, are you? We still have to have dessert.”

She glanced down at the table. “I don’t see dessert.”

“It’s right here.” I grabbed my crotch.

She bit down on her bottom lip and then looked at her watch.

“I have about fifteen more minutes to spare.”

“That’s all we’ll need.”
