Status Updates From The Risk (Briar U, 2)

“Once again, I force myself to concentrate. “So, you want a date on Friday night—”
“A fake date.”
“A fake date,” I amend. “Well, in return, I want a real one.”
“A real what?
“A real date. You get a fake date, I get a real one.”
“Are you joking?” Her mouth falls open. “You want to go out with me?”
I examine her expression. “I know, right? It caught me by surprise, too.”

🎉

“I’m saying—quid pro quo. I don’t know if you learned this in school, but nothing comes for free.” I wink. “I scratch your back, you scratch mine.”
“I am not scratching any part of your body.”
“All I mean is, if I help you out, I want something in return.”
“Like what”

“Well, I need you to do it again, okay? It’s one night—I’ll even pay you if you want.”
“Hey, I’m no gigolo.”
“Fine, then do it for free. Be a good Samaritan.”
I ponder for a moment. “Nah.”
“Come on, Connelly. Dont make me beg.”
A bolt of lust streaks straight to my groin. “That sounds so fucking appealing.”
“It’s not happening.”
“Mmmm, you on your knees…begging…”

Ahhh

J:Did you seriously just slide into
B: Unfortunately. Do you want to meet up ?
ME: Are you asking me out?
B: In your dreams, Jakey.

B:I’m in the city and have about an hour before I need to go back to Briar. Can we meet
J: Gonna need a lot more than an hour for our first time, babe. I mean, foreplay alone will eat up most of that time.
B:An hour of foreplay? Aren’t you ambitious
J: Not ambitious. Realistic.
