“Invitation only.”
“So, I could never become a member?”
My eyebrows went up.
“Yes. Once your net worth surpasses ten million and you have a clean criminal record and excellent bill of health, you will be free and clear to join.”
Her eyes widened before she smiled.
“I know that you are about to ask me a dumb ass question or say something smart. Let me prepare for it.”
I picked up my drink and threw the rest of it back, making her burst into a fit of giggles. The smile on her face made me smile a little.
“Okay, so, since I hadn’t told you a gift, what if I asked you for ten million dollars? And then I became a member of Chokers, then what?”
I shrugged my shoulders. “One; that will never happen, and two; that will never happen.”
“But you said I could ask for anything I want.”
“And I said be realistic.”
“Isn’t ten million dollars realistic for you? You’re worth like… I can’t remember what Google said.”
“Believe nothing Google tells you about my money, Babygirl. Even if I did give you ten million dollars, you would not become a member of Chokers.”
“And why not?”
“Because why do you want to be a member of Chokers?”
She shrugged her shoulders. “I don’t know. It just seems fun.”
“It just seems fun?” I repeated.
She nodded her head enthusiastically
“Seems fun, but you were just bitching about nipple clamps, so I am not sure if you’ll be—”
“Why are you being so uptight about it, Diesel? We are just having fun. Sheesh. Lighten up. What’s wrong with you?”
I took a moment to collect myself because I didn’t want to picture her or literally see her on her knees to another man. It’s happened many times before. I’ve shared many women, but I didn’t want to share her, at least not right now. Maybe, hopefully, she’ll end up getting on my nerves soon and I could kick her out. She still couldn’t get a membership at Chokers though, even if she asked for ten million dollars. I’d give it to her just to see what she would do with it.
“This is what I was talking about. Why are you so hot and cold? Can you please just be normal or something?”
“I’m not normal?”
“No.”
“You need to loosen up. Everything is not about sex or money or numbers. Just relax your brain sometimes. Did you take your other girls places? Like, what the rich people attend, galas or fundraising dinners and stuff like that.”
“If I had an event that called for a date and a woman was here, yes, if they wanted.”
She leaned in. “And you don’t care that the news people have you on camera with all these different women?”
“Doesn’t bother me none. It helps the women out. Some of them are now doing very well since being seen with me.”
“Oh my God.” She laughed and took a swig of her drink. “So, what you’re saying is that a woman’s stock goes up after being with the great Diesel.”
“Absolutely.”
