"I need to use the fucking bathroom."

"There is a bathroom up here!"

I scowled. "I want to use the other one!"

Chapter 19

Storming down the stairs, I missed the last step and tumbled hard onto the floor. I hissed at the burning sensation in my knees as I scrambled to my feet.

On the way to the bathroom, I paused in front of Alex's open office door, and for a moment, I considered walking on but decided not to. I glanced over my shoulder. Vic hadn't followed me.Fine. Be that way. I was still on a mission. If I didn't sleep with someone of my choice, I would slowly die. I needed that choice as much as my lungs require air.

Alex said he liked me. Sure, he was older, and his smile was creepy as fuck, but Alex had never mistreated me.Hehad never been inappropriate, aside from that one time he directly said he wanted to sleep with me.Alex wouldn't say no, wouldhe?He was better than anyone else, that was for sure. I would be safe with him.

It's now or never. I stepped intohis office and shut the door with my butt. Alex looked up in confusion, and I slowly peeled the shirt off my body, letting it drop to the floor.

"Starburst… What are you doing?"

I put a finger to my lips, hushing him. "My name is Isaac."

Alex stood up. "Isaac, what are you doing?"

"I thought you wanted me to jump on that cock and spin."

He sighed, "What did you take?"

"Nothing."

"You can't bullshit a bullshitter."

I shrugged. "Sugar Cubes or whatever."

"That explains it."

"Explains what?" I asked, crossing my arms petulantly.

"You would never want to have sex with me unless you're on a drug that makes you want to fuck the first person you see."

Asmallhiccup slipped past my lips. "It's not the drugs. It's not the alcohol. I want to fuck you. Right here, right now." I pointed my finger towards the ground.

"No, you don't."

"Yes, I do, Alex. If I were sober, I'd still fuck you."

He snorted. "If I paid you."

This was not going as planned. So, I stepped up my game. Slowly, I slid the pants from my body until I was left in nothing but a pair of lacy male underwear. Tiptoeing tohisside, I tookhishands and rested them on my ass cheeks.

"Every few days, I'm forced to fuck people I don't want to sleep with. I haven't had a choice about who I fuck for nearly ten years. I came here with one goal in mind: to make that choice."

Alex squeezed my flesh. "And I suppose you went to Victor first, and he turned you down."

I remained silent, unsure how to answer him without making him feel like a runner-up. Which, in all fairness, he was.

Pulling my body close, he hissed, "Sadly, I seem to lack his self-control."He pressed his lips to mine, pushing me back until I bumped into the small couch at the back of the office. I sat down, tearing at his clothes as his lips ran across my body. "You're prepped?"

"Baby, I'm always ready."

Alex dropped his pants and pushed me onto my back, tearing at my underwear until I was completely naked. He stepped away, grabbing something from his desk. Starburst-brand lubricant. I started chuckling until his hard body leaned over mine. I wouldn't have suspected that Alex had such a body under his gaudy suits. His arms were muscular, and his abs were well-defined.
