Chapter 7
Madison kept waiting for something to go wrong. It had been three weeks since the mandatory testing and things had picked back up.
Madison and Dante had fallen into a routine.
She would come up to his office after the night was out and collect her money and then she would leave and go home and wait for Dante to show up.
They would have amazing sex that just kept getting better.
Sometimes she would cook breakfast for them before he had to leave for the day.
Sometimes he would get up early and surprise her by having breakfast prepared and brought in. It was a nice routine.
Maybe too nice. She kept waiting for them to get caught. Dante only ever came to her place as that was what was part of their deal.
One thing that didn’t feel nice was her friendship with Sabrina.
They hadn’t spoken to each other since the night of testing.
Sabrina hadn’t even bothered to apologize for what she had done.
The old Madison, the Madison before Dante, would have tried to reach out to her to see what made her do it and try to rekindle the friendship, but she wasn’t going to say anything until Sabrina said she was sorry.
The one thing the rumor helped was that Sabrina had said Madison pretended to be a virgin. Since the other things she said had been false. People assumed Madison was still a virgin, and it drew more clients to see the virgin headliner.
She didn’t want anyone to know that she and Dante had slept together, as the tips had been outrageous ever since.
But her and Sabrina’s time apart had let her observe that maybe their friendship was dying and couldn’t make the test of time.
Sabrina had been put on probation for the crab infestation and starting the rumor, which she believed factored into why Sabrina hadn’t talked to Madison.

Madison walked into the club and set her bag down in the back.
She didn’t feel like doing anything tonight.
Her period was here, and she would have to have the conversation with Dante that they wouldn’t have sex this week.
Her period lasted five days, maybe six. But that would put them into the next week.
They didn’t get together outside of Thursday through Sunday.
That was the deal, and they stuck to the plan.
Who cared if early in the week she wanted to share something with him.
She held herself back. She didn’t even know why she wanted to share personal things with him.
That wasn’t the nature of their relationship.
She just had to remind herself of the fact.
She might as well go and tell him now before she got to work so he could make other arrangements for the night.
Madison didn’t know why thinking of him with someone else made her stomach dip.
Though they had said that they were exclusive, he had a healthy appetite, she couldn’t expect him to not do anything while she was out of commission.
She knocked on the door.
“Come in.”
“Hey.” She shut the door behind her and flipped the lock.
The only thing worse than being caught fooling around with your boss was getting caught telling him you were on your period.
That was a definite not need-to-know, and you couldn’t pretend you passed out and he was just giving you mouth to mouth.
She didn’t know how to say it. He had turned his chair as expected her to come and sit in his lap like it was custom for her to do. They hadn’t hooked up in his office since the first time. They kissed and did some heavy petting, but nothing besides that.
She walked over to him and sat down in his lap with her back to his chest. She didn’t want to have to look at him face to face and explain she was having her menstrual cycle.
Dante pinched her chin in a gentle hold. “What’s up?” He peered at her face from the side.
With the things they had done together, she shouldn’t be nervous to tell him, but she didn’t know how he would take it.
Would he push her out of the lap? She didn’t think he would still come to hang out since their deal was more sex only, but she didn’t want him to treat her like a leper.
She had no idea how a grown man would take it.
She bet it was more embarrassing for her than for him.
“I just wanted to tell you, you don’t need to come by this week. I’m on my period. So no Dante Jrs.” She tried to be funny and lighten the mood, but a look flickered across Dante’s face so fast that if she didn’t know better she would have seen it as disappointment.
It was disappointment she reminded herself. Disappointment that they couldn’t have sex. Not disappointment because she wasn’t pregnant. That was silly. And she definitely didn’t feel her own twinge of sadness at not being pregnant with Dante’s baby. That was even crazier.
“So?” He wrapped his arms around her waist. “What’s up?”
“Oh nothing. I’m just saying I only want to be home, and rest and catch some shows, eat in, relax. You know, just chill.”
“Sounds good. I bet you need some rest too.” He kept her chin between his fingers and leaned his head down to bring their lips together. Dante applied gentle pressure with his lips until she responded to his kiss, but then he deepened the kiss and she found her body responded to him.
He ran his hand from her chin, around her neck and down her back to her hips and held them on his erection, before he moved them up to cup her breasts that were now heavy with need.
Dante played with her nipples and her hips rolled on his cloth covered cock.
He kissed down her neck and across her collarbone, all the while, his hands never stopped playing with her nipples.
“Dante.” She moaned. She wasn’t sure if she was telling him to stop or to keep going.
Lucky for her, Dante knew what she wanted even if she didn’t.
He didn’t stop, but moved his mouth back to hers and he thrust upward.
His hands dipped under her shirt and freed breasts.
He pushed her boobs together and used his thumbs to work her nipples like joysticks.
Joysticks that were giving her pleasure.
She turned in his arms and he knew right away what she wanted and his mouth let go of hers and dropped to the tips of her breasts and he sucked on them and teased them with his tongue.
Her hips moved faster and there was no doubt.
They were dry humping each other. She ran her fingers through his hair and grabbed on tight as she held his head in place and moved her hips for all she was worth.
Madison had of course never had sex during her period. Sometimes if she had bad cramps, she would use her shower head to give herself an orgasm and that could lessen the cramps. Who knew cramps from pleasure canceled out cramps from pain. Maybe Dante knew that too.
His cock hit the seam of her jeans at the right angle and she came, her hips jerked in his lap and she would have screamed his name out loud for everyone to hear if he hadn’t covered her mouth in a kiss.
She came down to him rubbing her back. He put her boobs back in her bra and fixed her shirt, then gave her another kiss. This one softer, tender, close to loving.
“You better go down before they come looking for you.”
“Right. But you didn’t.”
“That’s ok.” He gave her a double pat on the butt and then lifted her off his lap and set her down on the floor. “See you downstairs.” He lifted his hand to her face and pushed the loose strands behind her ear and down to her chin.
“You better go before I can’t control myself.”
Madison took the hint and unlocked the door and left. In the hallway, she ran into Enzo.
“What were you doing in there?”
Madison was taken aback by the hostility in his tone. He had never been rude to her before. She had suspected that he might have liked her, and that’s why he didn’t make her follow club rules, but he never said anything one way or the other until now.
“Nothing.” She looked back over her shoulder. She had left Dante’s door open. She turned back around.
“You were in there for a long time with the door locked. I tried it. I guess you guys didn’t hear while you were doing nothing.” He spit the last word out.
Madison didn’t think she owed him an explanation.
She and Dante hadn’t said anything outright, but she didn’t think they were telling people what their side deal was.
Maybe she should have specified that. Well, it was too late now.
Somehow Enzo had found out. She hoped he didn’t tell anyone else. She didn’t want rumors to spread again.
Madison just stood there. Enzo approached her and backed her into the wall. “You know…Nope. Never mind.” And he walked away.
Madison didn’t want to get between the cousins, so she didn’t bother to let Dante know that Enzo knew. Enzo would get over it.
****
Dante got up to shut the door Madison had left open.
He had several phone calls he needed to make, that he didn’t want overheard.
But he stopped at Enzo’s voice. He stayed behind the door to listen in.
He’d have to speak to Enzo. He didn’t like his tone, and he definitely didn’t like what came next.
It wasn’t any of Enzo’s business what Madison and he were doing in there. He would have stayed where he was if he hadn’t seen Enzo back her into the wall. Dante came around the door so Enzo could see him, but Madison couldn’t.
That stopped Enzo in his tracks.
Dante sat back down at his desk. He didn’t know what to expect when Madison came in to talk to him. He worried she was going to tell him she had him out of her system. He was so relieved when he found out it was only her period. That wasn’t a big deal.
He knew he should have left her alone, But he couldn’t. They had a routine when she would come up to the office to get her money. Some days he was better at keeping his hands to himself than others, and today wasn’t one of those days.
