“You will be available to me at all times.”
Narrowing my eyes at him, I rolled that statement around in my head. Available to him at all times was a pretty broad request. “Available for what?”
He smiled, and my heart nearly jumped right out of my chest. It was terribly unfair that he was this good-looking. In fact, why would he even want to be seen with me? I smelled of wet dog and was covered in fur six days a week.
“This and that,” he replied, taking another sip from his glass.
“This isn’t how contracts work. You can’t be vague or ambiguous. I will never agree to broad statements like ‘available to you at all times’ and ‘this and that.’ Sorry.” I folded my arms defensively across my chest and stared at him.
“All right, Little Bird, do you want to know what I really want from you for two weeks? I want your complete submission in all things. Sex, yes, but I will make that very pleasurable for you, but in other ways, too. You will be there to accompany me to dinners and meetings when needed.”
“Jesus,” I muttered. This sounded a hell of a lot likePretty Woman. Hey, at least we were in the right city, right? I stared at him, taking in every angle of his face, his jaw.
Two weeks.
Could I give up two weeks of my life in order to get Hawk off the hook?
“What about my brother?”
He spread his legs out a little wider, my eyes tracking the movement. “I’m not into men.”
“No, I mean, what happens to his debt? Will it be wiped?”
“Of course.”
“I want that written into the contract.”
“Contract?”
“You think that all this won’t be put into writing? I’m going to make damn sure it is, so we both know where we stand.”
“No contracts,” he said in a hard voice. “My word is my bond.”
“Then, we don’t have a deal,” I told him, daring him to counter my threat with one of his own. When he didn’t, I stood. He mirrored me, his expression vacillating between humor and frustration. He finally fixed it on indifference and held out his hand for me to shake.
“I’ll let you think about this a little longer before you give me your answer.”
What an asshole. Opening my mouth to argue, I shut it a minute later. I didn’t need to waste time on this. It was not beneficial, and it would only serve to put me in a worse mood. He brought my hand to his mouth, brushing his lips against the back of it.
“I will be seeing you later, Wren. You can count on that.”
As I stalked away, the only thought I had was that I would never sell myself to a man like that.
Not even for my brother.

Bane
Jesus-fucking-Christ,my dick was so hard. As I watched Wren stalk away from me, I caught the looks from my patrons, from my Dolls. They’d never seen me with a woman like her before—one who had no idea about her sex appeal. Her sharp tongue and quick mind also turned me the fuck on.
“Want me to take care of that for you, daddy?” Syn asked, sashaying her way over to me. I knew the moment Wren left that she would swoop in.
Dropping to the floor between my legs, she reached up to rub my dick, but I stopped her, pressing my fingers into her wrist.
“No, Syn.”
Fuck, this had happened before. I’d had Dolls getting possessive over me, and I’d had to get rid of them. I didn’t belong to any woman, and as soon as they thought they did, they were gone too.
