Chapter Four

I had Clayton right where I wanted him, but the truth was, he had seemed to be in control during our whole meet cute.

I needed to change the power dynamic if I was going to have a chance of holding my own against this guy, but it sounded easier said than done.

Clayton was a beast of a human—a ripped, confident, sturdy young man. He didn’t show an ounce of guilt or embarrassment asking an older woman to lead him to the hotel near his place of work. If anything, this seemed like business-as-usual to him.

Is he used to clients hitting on him and trying to ride him like a thoroughbred? Because this doesn’t seem like his first time doing this . . .

Whereas Heath had been hesitant and cautious at first, Clayton showed none of the same apprehension. He walked a step behind me until we got out of the gym, and then joined by my side.

“Who was the girl you came in with? She’s a hottie, too.”

“You noticed her?” I asked, shamefaced. “That’s Jules, my friend and employee.”

“Ah. Sure she doesn’t want to join?”

I rubbed my chin like I was debating. “She might. But it’s not her call.”

“Right. You’re the boss babe.”

“And boss babe wants you all to herself. At least at first.”

“Fair enough.”

“Not to mention, Jules has a happy hour coming up with friends . . . and I don’t want to corrupt the poor girl with my lustful shenanigans.”

He chuckled as we walked down the street. The Hilton was already in view. It really was convenient to have it so close to my work, my gym, and my local bar. I had everything I needed in a five block area of downtown.

“Do you do this often, Em?” Clayton asked after another minute of walking.

“What, prey on younger men and steal them away under moonlight, only to return them to their friends defiled and with shit-eating grins on their faces?”

“Yes. That.”

I smiled at him. My cheeks weren’t even feeling warm anymore, which just showed that my horniness had won over and I was no longer feeling butterflies in my stomach. Plus, I had switched the energy in my favor with the “boss babe” comments.

Shit, we were both acting like this was just another day in the park—like we weren’t about to do something hot and heavy.

“It’s a new development,” I said, all business.

“Sounds like a smart investment in yourself.”

“As long as the boys don’t disappoint.”

His eyes bored into the side of my face. “Do you think I’ll disappoint, Em?”

“Not particularly, no. I just meant in general.” I gave him a fake once-over. “But you, Clayton? No, you don’t strike me as the kind of young man who would let down his elders. You seem much too respectful for that.”

“Respectful, eh?”

“Am I reading you wrong?” I asked. We stepped into the doors of the Hilton as I finished my sentence.

Then he reached out and grabbed my arm, pulling me into a corner. I almost yelped from the suddenness of it, and my heart started hammering.
