“Got it going in the contract.”
“Give him a discount because I am not going to be good at this.”
Zera laughed.“You are killing me here.”
“Sorry.This is a surprise, but what the hell.Oh, and there can’t be anyone else in the bed.”
“Noted.Give me a few minutes.”
She looked to the server.“Can I get some kind of fruit juice instead of the cider?”
“You don’t like it?”
“I just started work.”
Denog snorted, and he outlined what he wanted from her for his side of the contract.Sex, blood, and her in his arms until dawn.
She was nibbling at her cheese platter with hard crackers, and then a selection of juices was lined up in front of her.
She darted looks at Denog as he waited for the contract.When it arrived in her com, she looked and read the details, blushing a lot.This was different.Her untouchability was in her lack of a contract.She bit her lip and signed the contract.Denog grinned and did the same.
For what it is worth, you are a good match.
She worked her way through the cheese platter, and then it was taken when her main was set in front of her.She cracked through the pastry around the beef, and he began speaking to her.
“What is your day job, Cabree?”
“I am a programmer.”
“Who do you work for?”
“Um, security and defense contractors.”
He raised his brows.“Really?”
She kept eating and made her way through the delicious food, slightly sad that she couldn’t slow down and enjoy it.He was watching that fork with intensity.
When the dessert came, it was in the form of a cream and berry soup.She dipped her spoon in and ate carefully but quickly.
Denog said, “You didn’t savour it.”
“You are watching me eat.It isn’t a standard behaviour.”
He grinned.“My diet is exclusively liquid.I haven’t consumed solids since I activated.”
“Oh, that sucks.”
He chuckled.“This is less formal than other dates I have had.”
Her face flushed scarlet.“I am so sorry.I did ask Zera to give you a discount because I am not good at this.”
Denog chuckled.“How considerate.”
“You are already being used as a training.I didn’t want to gouge you.”She sipped at the pineapple juice.
“I am being used as training?Interesting.”
She blushed.“I thought I explained that earlier.”
