Chapter 5
Inside my car, I pull the piece of paper from Artie's office out of my front pocket. There's nothing more than a phone number, but the butterflies in my stomach tell me who it belongs to. I don't give myself a chance to talk myself out of it before my phone is in my hand and I'm tapping out the digits. When I hear the voice on the other end as it's answered, two things happen. One, my cock gets hard behind my jeans faster than it ever has before. The second, my bow starts burning across my chest again.
âHello? Is anyone there?â comes from the other end of the line.
âIt's Eros.â
âEros,â he breathes into the phone.
âUh, hey,â I somehow manage to get out.
âI don't know how you got my number, but I have to say I'm glad you have it. I've been thinking about you since you ran off last night.â
It takes a few seconds for me to catch what he said.
âWhat do you mean, how I got your number? It was in the envelope with the payment left at Rocks today.â
âEros, your boss was paid in full yesterday before you and the girl came out to the house. He must have meant yesterday, not today.â
I slump in my seat, thinking. That's a possibility, but why would Artie say he got Aslyn's yesterday and then mine today?
âYou didn't send your number inside an envelope addressed to me containing two thousand dollars?â
He laughs into the phone and I want to smack him.
âNo offense, Eros, but two thousand? Seriously?â
I squeeze the phone so tight I almost break it. Pulling an Aphrodite, I lash out.
âWhat? My ass wasn't worth two grand, you bastard? You couldn't get inside it quick enough.â
âMeet me for a drink and we'll talk about it.â
His voice has gotten lower and the tingling in my chest has gotten more intense. I don't think I need to tell you what that voice does to my dick. I could easily pound nails.
âWhere?â I ask in what I hope is a firm tone.
How dare he say I'm not worth two thousand bucks!
âWhy not at the lake house? I can meet you there and we'll be all alone.â
I want to. Oh God, I want to, but I know better. I'm supposed to be making sure that he and Kathleen get married, not lusting after or having sex with the guy like I have the others. I can't fuck up this assignment. I'm not sure what else I could do. Get a real job?
Yeah, I laugh at that too. There is no other job for me.
âNo. A public place.â
âOh, come on, Eros. I'll be good.â
Did he just snicker into the phone?
âNo,â I repeat. âWhere's Kay?â
âStill in Vegas, I suppose. We don't exactly keep tabs on each other.â
âYou know what? Never mind.â
I'm in the process of hanging up when he stops me.
âWhy'd you call, Eros?â
I do hang up then. When it rings again, I turn it off and drive to the nearest gay bar.
