 I can make it by myself. The only rules I follow are my own. Love? I learned that lesson the hard and painful way it wasn’t right for me. Sure, sometimes it gets lonely and I wish I had a man to hold. Who’d love me. Want me. Treat me with respect. Yeah, I dance in a club but that doesn’t mean I’m easy. Or a fool. So you, sitting in the back, watching me? I know what you want. You want me. In your bed. Under you. But I say no. It doesn’t matter how many presents you give me. I’m not falling for you. I know who you are. But you don’t know me. You don’t know Austin.

And now that I know, I want him even more. And maybe...just maybe, he might want me, too. But not yet. Not before he knows he’s more than a pretty face. Not before he knows what he means to me.

Do I dare to mix business with pleasure when the stakes are this high?
