“What is?” I ask in confusion.
“Our spark. I knew we’d have one, but I had no idea it’d be this intense.” He gives me a squeeze. “This is going to be fun, Jade.”
I hope he’s right!

Honey is Jade’s dominant smell. Sweetness exudes from her. Innocence flows off her in waves, and I can’t help but get caught up in it. My hand is on the small of her back as I take her into the club, walking through the crowd of people who’ve gathered for the evening.
“The main office is upstairs. We have to go to the back of the room to get to them. Are you nervous, Jade?”
“Everyone is so, um, sexy,” she whispers. “I feel out of place.”
“You shouldn’t. You too are sexy.” I run my arm around her waist, pulling her close to my side to help ease her tension. “Have you noticed the men, and women, for that matter, who’re looking at you?”
Her head bobs around a bit as she takes in the people in the crowd. “No.”
“You’re a real beauty, Jade. Don’t doubt that.” I pull open the door that hides the stairwell and let her walk ahead of me on the narrow staircase. “Up we go.”
I let her go and wait for her to get three steps up before I follow. Her legs are toned and curvy. Creamy thighs peek out from under the slits in the lavender lace of her dress that’s knee-length and flowing. Smooth calves ripple with each step she takes. My eyes move up her body, taking in the curviness of her rounded hips, then her narrow waist, and finally her shoulders.
She hits the top step, then stops and turns around, waiting for me to catch up to her. I run my arm back around her waist and hold her tight once more. “I love how your body feels, Jade.”
“Um, thanks,” she says shyly. “I like how it feels when you hold me.”
“Good,” I say and kiss her pink cheek. “Now to the paperwork of this endeavor.”
Giving a quick knock on the office door, I find a young woman opening it. A smile covers her face as she motions for us to come in. “Hello, Mr. Langford. I have to admit, I didn’t think I’d ever see you in this office for anything other than paying your dues.” She extends her hand to Jade. “And you must be Jade Thomas. Call me Betty.”
“Thanks, Betty,” Jade says as she shakes her hand. “I can’t thank you enough for letting me do the paperwork online.”
“All that’s left is the real signatures. In this business, one needs the real deal to make it legal,” Betty informs us as she leads us to a large oak desk with neatly stacked piles of paper at the corners. “Mr. Langford has put the money in an escrow account for you, Jade. Upon completion of the contract, the money will be released to you. And you said you wanted it in the form of a cashier’s check so you can put it into your bank account at home, correct?”
“Correct,” Jade says as I help her take a seat in an overstuffed, tan, leather Queen Anne chair that sits in front of Betty’s desk. “Sixty thousand. Is that right?” Jade’s eyes stay glued to Betty, ignoring my smile.
“No, that’s not the amount we have for you, Jade?” Betty asks.
“What? I don’t understand,” Jade says, then looks at me. “We agreed on that amount, Pierce.”
I run my fingers over her sweet lips to quiet her. “Hush, baby. I made an adjustment to the amount.” I look at Betty. “Tell her what’s in escrow for her, please.”
Betty grins as she says, “Mr. Langford has put a million dollars into the account, Jade. To say you’re one lucky young woman just doesn’t seem to cut it, in my opinion.”
“How much? Are you serious? Oh, Pierce, no!”
I kiss her lips to make her stop talking, then say, “I want you to have that money. I won’t take no for an answer. You’re giving me more than just my fantasy, Jade. Your innocence is a precious gift. I want you to know that I respect you immensely. I don’t take what you’re doing lightly.”
I watch her gulp, making her throat bulge as she does. “Pierce, that’s more money than I expected.”
“Good,” I tell her, then kiss the tip of her cute little nose. “Because you’re more than I expected. Accept the money.”
With a nod, she’s accepted it, and Betty pushes the paper over to her for her signature. “Smart young lady.”
The way Jade’s handshakes as she signs the escrow form lets me know how nervous she is. Am I sadistic because her nerves make me happy?
Her body is tense, and I know I can change that with some simple kisses and touches. I can take all that nervous energy and convert it into something pleasurable. And soon, I will!
Betty takes the signed paper and pushes another one to Jade. “This is the contract you two have agreed on. Mr. Langford’s rules are in it, like we discussed last week. If you’ll both sign this for me, you two can be on your way.”
