City of Sin - Chapter 27
Mason
She thought she had me all figured out. But she didn't know me. And she didn't really want to. Because I wasn't a good guy. I certainly wasn't any different than her ex. All I wanted was for my cock to be deep inside of her. Maybe then I could stop thinking about her.
"I'm sorry. I didn't mean to suggest..."
"Yes you did," I said.
Her face flushed slightly. I liked embarrassing her. When her cheeks were red it reminded me of how she looked after she came. I shifted in my seat. Screw chivalry. I was taking her back to my apartment tonight.
"Then tell me about yourself," she said. "Tell me what I'm missing."
"What do you want to know?"
"Where did you go to school?"
"Harvard."
"Harvard?"
"That's what I said, baby."
She frowned. "So if you didn't work as a secretary at Blue Media, how'd you get a job there?"
"I have my own connections. I don't need my father's. And I'm very good at networking. I can be incredibly persuasive."
"I know."
I smiled at her. She barely even seemed upset that I had introduced her fiancé to a bunch of sluts. I bet she was thinking about my cock right now. She wanted this just as badly as me. If I had to answer a few stupid questions first, then fine. Game on.
Our waiter came over and poured us each a glass of wine.
"To an adventurous evening," I said and lifted up my glass.
She raised her glass. "I guess we'll see." She clinked it against mine.
That's a yes.
"So how did you pay for Harvard? That's a very prestigious school."
"You mean expensive?"
"Well, yes." She put her elbows on the table and leaned forward slightly.
"My parents paid for it."
"You're very fortunate. I went to the University of New Castle, with instate tuition, and I'm still paying off student loans. I probably will be forever."
"The University of New Castle? One of my friends used to work there."
"Really? What did he do?"
"He was a professor. He didn't teach there for very long though."
"What was his name? Maybe I had him."
"James Hunter."
"Oh, Professor Hunter?"
"So you did have him?"
"No, I never had a class with him. I definitely heard about him, though. Didn't he get fired for sleeping with a student?"
"Yeah, her name's Penny. And James didn't technically get fired, he resigned. They're actually living in the city now."
"That's really sweet."
"I guess."
"That's a pretty crazy coincidence. Two sexy, rich, bachelors dating young women from the University of New Castle? Not that we're dating. Obviously." Her face blushed.
"Mhm." I took a sip of wine. She really doesn't know anything about me.
She thought I had everything in my life handed to me.
In a lot of ways I did. But not anymore.
I didn't want to talk about my family. I didn't want to talk at all.
I just wanted to fuck her. I leaned forward slightly.
Maybe what she wanted to hear was that we were dating?
Security would get her to come back to my place.
"I mean, technically this is our second date in less than a week. So we're kind of dating."
"We're not dating, Mason." Her face was turning even more red. "I said I'd split the bill with you."
"That's not happening. I really like you, Bee."
She locked eyes with me. "You don't like me. You don't even know me."
"I know quite a bit about you, really. First of all, you're exquisite.
And you're kinky as hell but you're embarrassed about it.
You're a secretary for a dick. This is your favorite restaurant.
I assume you're indifferent to roses since you didn't thank me.
You like being bossed around because you're indecisive. "
"I'm not..."
"You're definitely indecisive, because you seemed to have written me off, yet here we are.
You grew up in Delaware and followed your asshole of an ex here even though you never pictured yourself in New York.
And you're wondering why you're still here if the only reason you came was to be with him.
You're torn about what to do because you're stuck in a job you hate in a city you don't fit in. "
