The Billionaire's Seduction (The Billionaire's Temptation #1) - J. S. Cooper Page 0,25
what kind of music do you listen to?”
“Katy Perry, Rihanna, fun., Coldplay, The Verve.”
“The Verve?” He looked surprised. “Aren’t they kinda old for you?”
“I love them.” I reached over to the radio and started changing the channels.
“Hey, hey.” He swatted my hand away. “Don’t you know you can’t just change radio stations like that?”
“What?”
“You never heard the saying ‘don’t ever touch a man’s radio.’”
I laughed. “Do you mean the line from Rush Hour where he says ‘don’t you ever touch a black man’s radio’?” I burst out laughing. “You’re funny.” I had tears running out of my eyes from all my laughter and I just couldn’t stop myself.
“I’m glad you think that’s funny.”
“Oh Harry.” I stopped on a Top 40 radio station and sang along to the Lil Wayne song that was playing.
“I’m thinking I should take you to a club instead of a nice dinner.”
“Yeah right.” I looked at him with a smirk. “I could not see you in a club, Harry Green.”
“Well, there are many things you couldn’t see me doing but I do them.” He licked his lips and I shivered.
“How’d you like it?” Harry smiled at me paternally as I licked the residue of chocolate off my spoon. My stomach was full, and I was completely satisfied. Every course had been delicious and the chocolate cake had been the most divine and silky cake I’d ever had.
“Mmm, this meal was so good.” I beamed at him. “Thanks.” I gazed into his eyes appreciatively as I remembered my manners.
“Good.” He called the waiter over to the table. “Two glasses of champagne, please.”
“Oh, I don’t know,” I protested.
“But we have to celebrate.”
“Celebrate what?”
“Our new partnership.”
“What new partnership?” I looked at him in confusion.
“The one we are about to make.”
I felt a chill run down my spine. Oh no, I thought. Here it comes. He’s going to tell me that he wants me to be his submissive. I’d read Fifty Shades of Grey along with everyone else. I knew what this was about. I bit my lip and thought hard. I’d never done anything that kinky before but there was a first time for everything, right? Though I didn’t think I’d make a very good sub. And I didn’t particularly want to get beaten.
“I figured the partnership would last for the next two months.”
“Oh.” I’d never heard of a Dom/sub relationship lasting two months, but I guess I didn’t really know much.
“It would start this weekend. Then you would accompany me to a family reunion next month and then to a family wedding in two months.”
“So three trips?” I looked at him suspiciously. “And what do I have to do on the trips?”
“All I will require from you is that you pretend to be my fiancée. Kiss me and hug me when appropriate; anything extra is up to you.”
“Hmm.” I was slightly disappointed that he didn’t seem to be begging me for anything extra.
“I’ll pay you fifty thousand dollars to play the role. Twenty-five up-front and twenty-five when we break up.”
I sat there with my mouth wide open, that was a hell of a lot of money. “Whoa, what?”
“Think of it as your first real paying acting gig.” He winked at me. “And if it goes well I will recommend you to a producer I know in Hollywood and see if we can get you an audition.”
“Oh my God, really?” I knew my eyes were popping out, but I couldn’t control my excitement. “Wait, how are we going to break up?”
“I’m going to be overcome with excitement at my cousin’s wedding and propose to you.” Harry grins. “And then you are going to say no and leave me heartbroken as young girls always do to older men.”
“What?” I squirmed in my seat. “That will be so embarrassing. Your family is going to hate me.”
“Sarah, you don’t know them, do you really care how they feel about you?”
“I guess not.” I paused. “Twenty-five thousand up-front and sex won’t be required?”
“No required sex, though it is an optional add-on.” He grinned. “Though I won’t be paying for that, of course.”
“Of course.” I growled at him. “I’m not a hooker.”
“You could play one for a night, if you wanted.” He smirked.
“I don’t want.” I retorted but I felt my body flush. That could be kind of exciting. I’d always wanted to role-play but had never been brave enough to bring it up to any of the guys I had dated.
“Let me know if you change your mind.” Harry grinned at me and
