More than a Job: The Complete Series
your service and many more who have been referred given what we
offer. Is there any way we can coordinate something, even if it means you and I
take Mike out of the picture, so that we can satisfy our needs and keep you on
board?”
    “I don’t know,” I say.
    Mike breaks in. He looks gorgeous today in a dark suit and
I hate how beautiful his eyes are. I know I could fix it all by saying yes and
that I could have him however I want him, but I am angry. Really angry. “Jayni,
I will give you a substantial raise and you can work through Maria. If you
don’t want to see me, you won’t have to, but I could really use someone with
your skill set and talent.”
    “You mean someone who can get off all night without
stopping?”
    He actually blushes and I want to kick myself for thinking
he is cute. “Precisely.”
    “I will think about it. When do you need to know?”
    “The sooner the better. Maybe tomorrow?”
    “Come to my place tomorrow night for dinner. Both of you. I
will see how the evening goes and decide.”
    Maria crosses her legs and I see that she is not wearing
any underwear. I remember the night in her house when she fucked me with that
giant dildo and I am tempted to screw her again right here. “I will gladly come
tomorrow,” she says. That’s probably a fairly accurate statement.

2.
    When I get home, I call Liam. He promises to come over
after work and I wait for him, anxious. I need to tell him everything, because
I cannot move forward with anything until the truth is laid out on the table.
When he arrives, he has flowers. I take the long stem roses and put them in a
vase. He grabs me and buries his head into my back.
    “You smell good,” he says. I turn to face him and his mouth
is on mine. He is warm and I push myself close to him. His tongue probes my
mouth and I reach for his belt.
    “Jayni, stop,” he says. “Let me love you. Don’t make this
about sex.”
    I am amazed by him. No man has ever liked me this much,
despite how many have liked doing plenty of things with me. It makes me feel
good, but I am also horny as hell.
    “Liam, I need to tell you something.” We go to my couch and
he sits by me, holding my hands. “My job, it’s complicated.”
    “How so?”
    I explain what I do and Liam looks intrigued. He does not
run for the door, so I suppose that’s a good start. I leave out names, but tell
him about my various clients. Then I explain that I saw Mike and Maria today
and what they are asking.
    “I invited them over tomorrow night, but I needed to see
you first, to find out how you feel about all of this.”
    “Are you asking my permission?”
    “I really like you Liam, but I need a job. I don’t want to
push you away, though. I admit my feelings for Mike are complicated, but I have
denied him and will continue to do so if you think we have a chance.”
    He kisses me and strokes my back. “Jayni, what you do for
work is your business, but yes, it does bother me picturing you with other men.
I would like to try to have a relationship with you, but that means I will have
to be enough.”
    “You’re enough,” I tell him and suddenly I am crying. I
have enjoyed being screwed by different men lately and I thought I had fallen
for Mike. Maybe I am incapable of serious commitment. Liam tests my patience,
but perhaps it is what I need. He won’t touch me intimately and he is making me
wait. The fact that he is interested in knowing me, that he comes over when I
call him, makes me think it is worth trying. I will just have to find another
job and tell Mike and Maria no.
    “Would it be okay if I came over tomorrow night? I am
afraid they may be too convincing.” His jealousy and desire to protect me warms
me and I agree. He makes me dinner and we talk about our lives, not touching
and not bringing up sex. When it gets late, he kisses me goodbye. I can’t help
being attracted to him, and I can tell he is feeling the same, but he manages
to leave without more than a few
