“It’s a simple yes or no,” he said.

“Yes.”

Giancarlo turned to me, a serious look on his face. “I was gone a few days, and you grew some balls, huh?”

Panic rose, and I scrambled for a clear thought. “I mean, no, I don’t dictate anything. I was saying yes because I don’t like you sleeping with other people, not that I can tell you not to.” I groaned.

My head was a jumbled-up mess as I thought about Giancarlo with a stranger. Letting someone else slide between his legs. Would he squeeze around their cock the same?

I felt dizzy with the thoughts that ran in circles in my mind. My fingers curled into the fabric of my pants as I tried to regain my thought process. “You were gone for eight days, twelve hours, and forty-six minutes.”

Silence settled between us, and I fidgeted on the couch.What the fuck did I say that for?Giancarlo was probably going to put me outside now. He was right, it was a few days, and I shouldn’t have brought it up to him. I needed to fix this right now. “Sor—”

“Sorry,” Giancarlo said, interrupting my apology.

“What?”

Giancarlo grunted. “Don’t make me repeat the shit, kid. I said I was sorry. That’s the end of it.”

Warmth spread through my entire body. I had the unmistakable urge to toss myself at Giancarlo. I barely restrained myself. I didn’t want to piss him off and ruin the moment.

My cheeks started to ache with how hard I was smiling. It had been a long time since I smiled because I was genuinely happy.

Callused fingers grazed over my cheek and cupped my face. “You’re like a puppy.” Giancarlo grabbed me and put me on his lap.

I placed both of my hands on his shoulders to steady myself. “I’m not a dog.”

Giancarlo rolled his eyes as if he didn’t believe me. “If you’re going to be the only dick I get while our deal is going on, then you have a lot of work cut out for you.”

My head jerked up and down. “Okay.”

“There is also going to be a teaching fee.”

Fuck. I licked my lips as I settled on Giancarlo’s lap. It was oddly comfortable. “Okay, how much?”

“Smart. Let’s say twenty thousand.”

I shook my head. “No way, that’s taking twenty percent! Ten thousand.”

Giancarlo’s eyes widened, and the corner of his mouth tilted up in a grin. “That’s cheap. Are you saying my knowledge isn’t worth it?”

I shrugged, and a strange playfulness settled over me. “I’ll have to sample it first.”

Giancarlo’s head fell back as he laughed. His hand rested on my lower back, radiating warmth throughout my entire body. My cock took notice instantly, and I fought hard not to fidget on his lap.

“Fifteen. I let you win the argument on your price, but you aren’t going to lowball me.”

Fifteen thousand wasn’t that bad. According to my calculations, I could technically afford it. As long as we had sex every single time Giancarlo wanted to give one of his lessons.

“Okay.”

“That looks painful. Why don’t you take it out and relieve it,” Giancarlo said, looking down at my hard cock.

How could I be expected to keep it under control? Giancarlo was hot as hell, and not to mention, when he laughed, it sounded so freeing it drew me in. I glanced down at my cock, and the memories of my hands stroking myself returned. Before I knew it, my mouth was moving.

“I'd rather you do something about it.”

I stared up at Ash,a grin tugging at my lips. “Oh? Is that right?”
