The issue was that, delightful as the lunchtime session had been, it wasn’t enough.Not even close.He wanted… more.He couldn’t define what, exactly.Sex was part of the equation, and food, too.Work on her book, perhaps the occasional date.
It was late, but he didn’t hesitate before firing up his phone.
“Hey, man.You’ve changed your mind?Are you joining us?”
Trick was at a club with a handful of their acquaintances, and by the sound of it, he’d drunk quite a bit; Carter had begged off, not feeling it.
“No, thank you.I’m just calling to…” he hesitated.Damn, drunk or not, Trick would never forget this.“To get a phone number.”
Yes, he’d let the girl suck him off, but he’d forgotten to ask for her damn contact details.
Suddenly, an idea crossed his mind.
“Never mind, ignore it, I think I’ve got it,” he lied.
He hung up and quickly went online, clicking on Cassandra Frank’s website.Score.

Recognizing that he just wasn’t going to sleep, he grabbed his e-reader from his bedside table, put his reading glasses on, and started her first book.In all honesty, he would never, ever have been caught dead reading something of the sort if he hadn’t known the author: he was a mystery, sometimes a fantasy or a sci-fi, kind of guy.But he had to admit, the woman could write.It wouldn’t do to openly admit to enjoying it, but girly or not, the book was entertaining as fuck.
He’d read a good four chapters by the time a beep of his phone announced a new email.
