I pay. Of course.
“Don’t you have that thing where women believe they are equal and have to pay for their own things?” I ask as the server brings over another drink she ordered.
“Nope, I don’t fall into that kind of feminism. Because I know I am better than any man, so why not use it to my full advantage. It’s not like men don’t use us.” She winks, swirling her wineglass. “You are in the business where they do use us. We have to take back the power somehow, and as far as I’m concerned, I hold all my own power, and no man will ever take it again.”
“Sounds like something you would say.”
“You want a girl like Destiny, who will lift her skirt and say, fuck me, Daddy, while being a good girl.”
I’m taken aback by her words.
I adjust myself in my trousers, and she notices. She always does.
“Where I would rather be on top, taking full control, with the man giving me his all.”
Fuck, my dick is instantly hard.
“I have control issues,” I tell her.
“Don’t we all.” She raises her glass in salute and takes a sip. “Don’t mind me… I plan to drink all this and then you are going to take me home. This time, you will keep your cock in your pants.”
“What if you want it out?”
A laugh bubbles up from her, and wine spurts out her mouth. She hastily tries to clean it up. “That will never happen. You’re not my type. I don’t want a used cock that has been in something like…Destiny.” she uses air quotes, and a sneer pulls at her lips.
“I’m sure I could persuade you.” Maybe. I’m not sure when things changed, but for some reason, I want her.
“I’m sure you could, but then I would quit the next day,” she warns.
“Understood. So no fucking.”
“Absolutely not. We don’t even like each other.” She scrunches her nose.
“This is true. I find you annoying at best.”
She laughs, reaches for the bottle of wine, and pours herself another glass.
“You don’t even want to know what I think of you.” A smile touches her lips, and it’s not her usual cocky smile. It’s one that is laced with amusement.
I lean back and study her. Her hair is down, framing her face, the darker strands peeking out from the bottom.
“Tell me,” I push, running a hand through my hair.
“You might fire me.”
“Now, we both know that won’t happen, so tell me. Not as your boss but as a friend.”
She finishes that glass and pours herself another one.
“Okay, you asked for it, friend.” Avani tilts her head, and I can almost see the thoughts passing through her eyes. “I think you are a cocky son of a bitch, whose ego is too big for his pants. You believe the world should revolve around you and that you can fuck whomever you please with no consequences.”
“Is that all?” I ask, lifting a brow. Not sure why I want her to keep going, but I do.
“No, but that’s all I got right now.” She sets the empty glass on the table. “Take me home now, please.” Avani stands on wobbly legs and smiles. I reach for her, but she brushes me off and goes straight to where my car is parked. I open the door for her, and she looks up at me, surprised, before she slides in.
As soon as we’re on the road, she falls asleep without a word.
When I stop at her place, I see her roommate straight away. Destiny spots me and is heading to the door until she sees Avani in my passenger seat. I get out, open her door, and reach for her shopping bags.
“Avani.” I say her name, but she doesn’t respond. She stays perfectly still, her mouth slightly open as she sleeps. Not seeing much choice, I reach down, and slide one hand under her legs, the other bracing her back as I lift her up. She rests in my arms easily as I carry her inside.
Destiny looks on, not saying a word, as I walk Avani to her room and lay her on the bed. After placing her stuff at the foot of the bed I turn to leave when she says my name, “Grayson.”
“Hmm…”
“If you didn’t fuck my roommate, we could have…” She goes back to sleep before finishing what she was about to say.
“Could have what?” I ask, but she’s asleep now, and all I’m going to think about is the… what if?
“Are you back for her or me?” Destiny asks from the hallway.
Avani turns over and curls herself up into a ball as I walk out and shut the door.
I’m now face-to-face with Destiny.
What was I thinking?
Oh, that’s right. I was pissed at the little troublemaker asleep right now.
So pissed that she made my cock hard.
I fucking hate how my body wants her, and my mind knows better.
