“Do you suggest I become your mistress?”—the girl who was a virgin just yesterday looks straight into his eyes.
“I’m offering you an adult relationship. Between us there will be only sex—no other partners as long as we’re together,” I choose the business tone I use for negotiations. “You can leave at any moment. An accidental pregnancy will be terminated—we don’t even discuss it.” A little harsher, with pressure. “Regardless of whether you agree or not, your father will receive the money.”
“Do I have to move in with you?”
“No. You’ll come when I invite you.”
“A call girl,” Lada snorts, turning away.
“You can refuse…”
“I refuse. But if you want to have sex with me again, just ask. I value my time as much as you value yours, and I won’t run to your bed at your snap of the fingers. I hope that’s adult enough?”
