Chapter 3

IS IT PROSTITUTION if there is no sex involved?

I ran that question over in my mind again and again as the notion of ten thousand dollars rolled through me. For some people, that sort of money would barely touch their debts and would only be a nice thing to have. For people like Soleil, that amount of money wasn’t even pocket change. For me, it was practically life-changing. It would cover my rent for at least six months. I’d be able to drop one of my part-time jobs—the one that caused me the most heartache.

It was an amount of money I couldn’t possibly turn my back on. Now, I just needed to work out whether I could stomach whatever it was I would need to do to earn it.

She grinned at me again. “Teach me how the other half lives.”

“But what does that mean exactly?”

“Let me live with you.”

Living with a spoiled princess would not be easy. It wouldn’t be the hardest thing I’d had to do for a dollar. Or ten thousand of them. “For a fortnight?”

“Two weeks and I’m gone.”

I still struggled to figure out the reason behind her request. Why would she want to live with me when she had billions at her fingertips? What the fuck did she think my life was like? What did she expect to happen while we stayed together?

But two weeks . . .

It wasn’t really all that long.

Two weeks of putting up with a princess in exchange for so many months of rent.

“And what would I have to do in those two weeks?”

“Just live.” She shrugged and gave an enigmatic grin that was altogether too toothy to be trustworthy. It set me on edge, but the temptation of ten grand was too much to ignore. The diamond earring collateral I’d taken earlier weighed heavy in my pocket.

“Like normal?”

She nodded. “And show me how you do it.”

Was I being used as a test case for some sort of reality TV show?

“Will Lurch”—I thumbed over my shoulder at the imposing man—“be joining in for this little experiment?”

“No. Vince will need to be ditched.”

“Ditched?” I tilted my head to one side. “That’s an odd choice of words.”

She rested her hands on the table. “I told you my life is more complicated than you think. Some princesses get locked in a tower with a fire-breathing dragon to protect them. I get lumped with a moving wall of man meat.”

“You’re not happy with his presence?”

“I’m not happy with anything.” A vulnerability crept over her features. Her eyes softened, her lips curled downward, and a tear rolled down her cheek. She swiped it away as soon as it was free.

In that instant, as she looked so broken and fragile, an ancient part of me stirred. My brain screamed with a desire to protect her. I wanted nothing more than to take her home, lock her in my room, and make sure none of the sorrows that weighed her down could touch her again. The notion was preposterous.
