“Why didn’t you ask me if I wanted to interview?”

He blinked and screwed up his face. “What?”

“You didn’t offer me an interview. I’m a little hurt over it. Am I not good enough?”

“Wow. I don’t know what to say.” He rolled off me and onto his back. “You want to be a club girl? You understand the job requires the girls to have sex with the members, right?”

“Yes. Of course, I’m still technically a virgin, but you can help with that, can’t you, friend?” I fluttered my eyelashes.

“Can I be honest,friend?”

“Of course!” I straddled his waist and laid on top of him. My elbows were on his chest and my face was in my hands. I admired his handsome face and smiled back at his grumpy scowl.

“If you were a club girl, it would be awkward for me with the guys.”

“How so?”

“Because they’d also be having sex with you. It’s like when you break up with your girl, and she starts dating your best friend.”

“But I’m not your girlfriend. We’re just friends.”

“With benefits.”

“Yes.” I bit my bottom lip. “So what you’re saying is, you don’t want to share me with your buddies.”

“Exactly.”

“And what happens if you and I stop the benefits part?”

“I still won’t want you with my buddies.” He took my face in his hands and pulled it closer. “If you want to earn money, I’ll give you a different kind of job. What do you like to do?”

“Cook and decorate.” The words flew out of my mouth at lightning speed. “I could never afford to do much of either, but I can follow recipes and make things pretty.”

“I bet you can. We’ll give it a try and see how it works out. But first, I need to call my brother and see what’s up with Roland, and I need to introduce you to the others.”

“Fantastic! And during the trial period, you don’t have to pay me. You’ve already done so much for me.”

“You’re not a very savvy businesswoman.”

“Oh no? I’m in your bed, aren’t I?”

He wrinkled his forehead and didn’t appear pleased with my statement.

“I mean, I showed you what a nice person I am and helped you warm up to me. We’re friends now.”

“Right.” He pressed a kiss to my lips. “Let’s shower so I can take you downstairs.”

“Before we go, I have a question for you.”

“Of course you do.”

“Smartypants.” I scrunched my nose. “Do you want to be my first? You can say no. It might be weird since I’m a virgin. But I thought I’d ask.”

Please say yes, please say yes.I felt stuff for Micah, things I couldn’t put a name to. I knew I came across like I didn’t care if he was with the club girls, but I didn’t want to share him with anyone else. Just like he didn’t want me to be with his MC brothers. Seeing him kissing someone else when I was around would be weird.

And I didn’t want to get kicked out of his bed.

“Are you sure you want to give that part of you to me?”
