“Wait, what do you mean away with a client?” He looks at Ms. Jackie in surprise. What? Did he think all my clients lived here? God, no.

“Mr. Williams is Lexi’s first client and they have a good relationship. He resides in New York, so she would have to go there when he asks for her. He has booked her for a few times in the next few weeks.” She looks through her planner and I can’t help but smile. I can see the cogs in her brain whirring. “So, can we sign the papers?” She looks at us both.

“If he’s happy with all the changes.” I look at Ethan fighting with himself again about something. He’s hating that he didn’t know I go away with clients, and I’m loving this.

“Longest she will be away?” Ethan looks at Ms. Jackie.

“Normally, she flies out on the day of the event, then comes back the following day. But, he’s got Lexi for a three day—”

“So, with her silly rule of having one day to herself, I have her for three.”

My smile is getting bigger and bigger the more annoyed he's getting. “Going on a date doesn't seem so bad now, does it?” I ask, smiling at him.

“How much would it cost for her to be with me and me alone?”

“You want to know my price?” I look at him. He's not going to give up until he gets me all to himself, and when that happens, I’m going to make it so hard for him not to touch me, because I'll start teasing. But, if he tries to have sex with me, the deal is off. No questions asked.

“Yes.”

“Okay.” I write four million dollars on the paper, and hand it to Ms. Jackie. “But, one thing is clear and without this, it’s a no. You even try to have sex with me, or ask me to do anything of a sexual nature to or with you, I’ll walk out.” Folding my arms across my chest, I look over at him. I’m confident he will never pay that much for a call girl.

“Lexi.” Ms. Jackie looks at me, and I nod my head. I’m not backing down. She hands the paper to Ethan.

He takes one look at it. “Deal.”

“What?” I shoot up out of my seat then lean down on the table to get eye level with him. I watch as he calmly writes down everything we agreed to, then signs it and pushes it back for me to read over. I cannot believe he’s willing to pay four million dollars for some girl. I’m dumbfounded that my plan just backfired on me.

I look at Ms. Jackie and then the paper. “Ethan, can you give us a minute?” she asks him. He walks away while I sit there with my mouth wide open.

“What just happened?” I ask, looking shocked.

“You have made a deal to be exclusive with one client. Lexi, maybe staying in San Francisco for a while will be good. Since you have started, you travel more than any of the other girls.”

“Please, Ms. Jackie, don’t make this sound like it’s okay. We both know he wants to have sex with me, and by the looks of it, he already has a fucking plan.” I look at the paper again, reading over everything that he changed.

“But he has it written here that he won't ask for any sexual favors from you.” She points to the part he has written.

What have I done?

Ethan sits back down. “Sign the papers,” he orders, and I try very hard not to cry.

“Before I sign, I need one more thing.” He nods his head for me to continue. “Can I travel to New York and explain to Mr. Williams why I’m leaving?” I can’t believe I have to ask him this.

“I can call him and ask if he’s free on Saturday evening. You can could get a flight on Saturday morning and be back Sunday evening.” I give Ms. Jackie a nod. “You have a meeting to attend with Ethan tomorrow night,” she says then hands me a card with all the information on it, where to meet, and time.

“That’s fine.” Ethan puts his phone away. That thing is so annoying, ringing every few seconds. “Be at the house at 2pm to talk about the meeting.” Ethan holds a pen in front of me.

Taking the pen, I sign myself over to the devil.

“Lexi, call and message like you normally would,” Ms. Jackie says, and I give her a nod. “Right, I have to get going. This meeting lasted longer than I thought it would.” She gives Ethan and me a kiss then leaves.

As I'm putting all my stuff into my bag, I stand up and look over at Ethan as he stands, too.

“I’ll get this all typed up, and you’ll get a copy,” he says, nodding. Then he follows me out of the restaurant. “Lexi.” I stop and turn to look at him as he draws closer to speak softly in my ear, “You might not be able to give me any sexual favors, but it says nothing about me giving them to you.” Leaning away from my ear he smiles at me.

I swallow the big lump in my throat as he walks away from me. The devil is going to eat me alive.
