“What?”

I repeated it.

“What will it take to fuck you?” I asked. “I’ll give you whatever you want.”

Her eyes slightly widened as though she was incredulous with disbelief but then slowly, I could feel the smile disappear from her face.

“You think I can be easily bought?” she said then.

“I don’t expect it to be easy,” I said. “But as you’ve just pointed out, pleasure is what I’m after. I want you, tonight, more than anything else. And I’m willing to give all I’m able to in order to get what I want.”

She folded her arms across her chest, now seemingly incredibly interested and then she said.

“Ten thousand dollars.”

I almost scoffed.

I reached into my pocket and pulled out my phone.

“Isn’t that too low?” I asked as I logged in and went over to my banking app.

“I’ll send you fifty instead. Give me your information.”

She went silent and then she said.

“Are you serious?”

I lifted my head and gazed at her.

“Is that too low still? I’ll send you a hundred thousand then.”

She laughed, bitterly amused.

“Are you showing off or are you actually serious?”

“Give me your bank information and I’ll show you if I’m serious or not."

She watched me and then she sat up as though she was only now paying rapt attention.

“I want five hundred thousand,” she said and I was slightly stumped but I knew exactly what she was doing so I smiled and replied.

“Okay.”

Her mouth briefly fell open but she was quickly able to shut it and keep herself under control.

It was nearly impossible to control my laughter.

She went on.

“What about a million?”

“That’s the height I will go,” I told her. “After all, I am an investor. However, if things go well, we can negotiate a larger price.”

Her eyes were still agape with shock and then she leaned back into the chair.

“You truly are rich. I remember when you used to wash dishes for a living.”

“I remember when you used to be courageous enough to give answers to my questions,” I said, and this made her stop. She then got up and began to walk across the room. She found her phone on the bed and I watched as she unlocked it and sent her information.
