A Billionaire Between the Sheets (29 page)

Feminine? Cassie McPherson?

She shook her head to clear it. She needed to be careful. This guy was a bona fide gigolo who knew how to make a woman feel like a woman. A sexy, feminine woman. Which was why he could afford to drive a new Land Rover. The man probably had every wealthy housewife in Denver lined up with their wallets and legs wide open. Which brought up the next point. She waited until they had pulled away from the curb before broaching it.

“About sex.”

The SUV swerved slightly, and she quickly glanced over at him. He didn't look shocked as much as amused.

“What about sex?”

She stared straight ahead and tried to keep her voice steady. “I don't want any.”

“Ever?”

She looked back at him. “No, not ever. It's just that I don't have sex with escorts.”

“Why not? You're paying for it.”

Suddenly, her reasons for not having sex with escorts didn't seem valid anymore. Why shouldn't she have sex with an escort? Not just anyone, but this one. This tall, hot, arrogant, and slightly dumb escort who probably needed no sexual instruction at all, who probably could make her come just by looking at her.

An expert lover.

Which was the main reason she couldn't have sex with him. The guy had probably screwed half the female population of the city.

Lucky bitches.

“Because I don't want some nasty disease.” She mentally kicked herself for blurting out the truth. “Not that you have some nasty disease, but just in case.”

“Then why all the condoms?”

“Those are a joke.”

“Too bad.”

Her head swiveled around to look at him, but his gaze was pinned on the road. “So you hire escorts just for the company?”

“No, believe me. With my big family, I have plenty of company. I hire escorts to keep that big, loving—and sometimes smothering—family from matchmaking.”

He glanced over at her. “That bad, huh?”

She laughed, relieved to be on a less intimate subject. “You don't know the half of it. I've been on so many blind dates, I could write a book on the dos and don'ts.”

“But it must be nice to have a big family.”

She sighed. “Yeah, sometimes. No, I take that back, most of the time. But it would be a lot nicer if I were married.”

“And why aren't you?”

“I've been told I work too much. And I guess they're right.” She turned in her seat and looked at his profile. He really was perfect. His features were strong and masculine, but not too prominent. “And what about you? And please don't tell me you have a wife and five kids at home.”

He laughed. “I guess I've been told the same thing.”

“You work too much?”

He tipped his head and winked at her. “A true workaholic.”
