Page 3 of Payoff Pitch

She pinches her eyebrows together. It’s unusual for me to talk like this to her.

I grab her waist and pull her body to mine. She happily wraps her arms around my neck, leans her body into mine, and we move to the sultry beat of the music.

I bend and kiss her neck.

“What’s gotten into you tonight?”

“It’s me who will be getting into you. In fact, let’s get out of here and start that process now.”

She giggles. “I’m not leaving. It’s too early. She’s one of my best friends.”

“And what am I?”

“My fuck buddy.” She painfully uses my words against me. “You’re supposed to be mysecretfuck buddy, but you’re not doing a good job of hiding it tonight.”

“Half the people here know anyway.”

“And the other half?”

“I don’t care.”

She pulls her head back and gives me a questioning look. I can’t blame her. I’ve given her mixed signals since the day I met her over a year ago.

A few hours later,the bride and groom finally wave goodbye to leave for their honeymoon on the other side of the world. I grab Bailey’s hand. “Let’s get out of here.”

She pulls away. “Seriously, what’s gotten into you tonight? You’re acting weird. Have you been drinking?” She gives me an accusatory look.

“Not in hours. I’m just anxious to get you alone. It’s been a while. Is it so terrible that I miss you?”

She gives me an incredulous look. “It’s been four days.”

I look around. Not seeing anyone, I grab her face and smash my lips to hers. She yelps at first, until my tongue slips into her mouth. Giving in, she relaxes her body. Her tongue meets mine before sweeping through my mouth. I love her sweet taste.

A noise causes us to pull apart. Her chest rises and falls rapidly as she breathes, “Okay, let’s go. Now.”

I take in her appearance. Her hair is messy from my hands, and her sensual lips are swollen from our kiss. Her face is a bit red from my beard. So beautiful.

As if on cue, she licks those full lips. I imagine them wrapped around my cock. There’s nothing better than those lips wrapped around me with her innocent eyes staring up at me.

She notices my line of sight and narrows her eyes at me. “You’re thinking about me sucking your duck, aren’t you?”

Yes, she calls it a duck, not a dick, because she’s trained herself not to curse in front of Harper. She has substitute words for every dirty word in the dictionary.

I chuckle. “Why do you know that?”

“Because you’re a filthy man,Mr. Montgomery.”

Her calling me that has my half chub growing to full chub.

Her eyes find my pants and one of her eyebrows raises. “Told ya so. Let’s get out of here. I’ll see what I can do for you,Mr.Montgomery.”

I close my eyes, willing myself to not pull her into a closet, lift that sexy dress, and fuck her right here. I have to remove my jacket and drape it in front of me to cover the bulge in my pants.

A few minutes later, the valet pulls around in my brand-new Maserati MC20. He’s got a big shit-eating grin on his face as he exits the vehicle. “I kept her in a special place, sir, just like you asked. I’ve never been in a nicer car. This baby must have set you back a pretty penny.”

Yep, about a quarter of a million dollars.

I nod as I hand him a hundred-dollar bill. “Thanks for taking care of her.”
