Chapter 10
Clayton
Are you avoiding me?
Of course not. Why would you think that?
Because somehow in a building the size of this one, I can’t seem to find you.
Maybe you are just not looking in the right place? I’m around, I can assure you.
This isn’t a game of hide and seek. We have a proposition to discuss.
Several hours later
Now you’re ignoring my texts?
I’m busy doing other things, like working.
You’re awfully demanding for someone who showed up out of thin air, unannounced, without a reservation. I should have kicked you out.
Would that have been before or after you extended that proposition? Or our kiss?
We’re not talking about that…that moment.
You may not want to talk about it, but I bet you’re thinking about it. I know I am.
I’m not answering that.
You just did.
Where are you currently?
Wouldn’t you like to know?
Yes, I would. That’s the reason I asked.
I’d watch those lips if I were you, Reese. I didn’t get enough of a taste of them yesterday to quench my thirst.
No, wait. That was not an invitation.
Did you mean what you said yesterday? About staying?
You couldn’t pay me enough to leave here now. Yes. I’m staying, so we need to talk. This isn’t a game, Little Trouble.
But games are so much more fun.
If you want fun, ask for it.
Um…….
That’s not a no, Reese. Not a no. I’ll remember that.
