Playful Desires

SEDUCED TO SLEEP C5

Paige felt that he’s not agreeable. He hasn’t even given his price. Does he not need the money?

“Anything else? I just feel like I’m missing something here. Do you have other errands for me that I should know about?”

“That’s it, really.” She began to lose some of her confidence. She can’t tell him the truth. He’ll think she’s crazy. She’s not even sure if it was truly him or just the amazing s*x.

Austin continued to think it through. Every night? There were days he would work deep into the night. His start-up has plenty of issues he needed to deal with.

“You said some nights just one round of s*x is enough?”

“Yes.”

“Then, can I leave afterwards? There’s plenty of work I do at home.”

She easily understood what he meant.

“Uhm, you can do them at my place? You can bring your stuff over.”

Austin frowned. She seemed serious. Why, though? He couldn’t think of a reason.

“I can do my work at your place?”

“Yes.”

The man leaned back and stared at her with suspicion.

She bit her lip and added, just to make it clear, “You can do whatever you want after I fall asleep.”

“That’s it?”

“That’s it.”

He shook his head, “I’m still not convinced. Why would you?”

Fuck. Even if it’s just the s*x, he can’t say he’s the best out of all the men in the city.

She began to get worried. “Just say yes, please?”

He was surprised by her expression. She was pleading and she looked like she’s about to cry.

“For how long?” He asked relevant questions without committing yet.

“I’m not sure. We can start with a month. We can just extend it.”

“You get to call when we’ll stop?”

“Well, yes.” Since she’s the one paying him.

“How about in the bedroom? Do you call all the shots?” He’s weirdly reminded of b**m stories he heard from the other guys. He did hear some women also liked being the dom. He’s not about to agree to be her sub, if she’s into that s**t.

“Of course not. I like it when you take charge.” She felt a little better now that they’re properly discussing the details.

“Are you sure you won’t be asking me to do other things?”

“Yes. I won’t. Just s*x in the bedroom, every night. That’s it.”

Austin audibly exhaled. He felt awkward asking about money. He’d rather not. She can just give him what she planned to give, if she’s really paying for it. Huh, is he a gigolo now? Are you a gigolo if only one woman is paying you for s*x? He might have to look up what the word meant.

“A month, you said. What if you want to extend it and I don’t?”

Paige was relieved. He seemed to be agreeable now. “We’ll see. If I want to extend it, then I’ll try to convince you.”

Another pause.

“When would it start?”

She shrugged, “We can start tonight if you want. We can do the paperwork later.”

He coughed when she mentioned paperwork. “Is that necessary?”

“Should we do away with it, then? Are you fine with that?”

Austin sighed. “What would you recommend?”

“The paperwork will be confidential. It’s just between you and me.”

“Alright. Do what you think is necessary.”

She waited for him to ask the most important question but he went to finish his meal instead.

Minutes passed and he still hasn’t mentioned it.

“Aren’t you going to name your price?” She had to ask on her own.

Austin paused to stare at her. “Well, I’ve never really sold s*x for money. But since you have certain demands, I’ll accept whatever you think I’m worth. I won’t deny that I need additional funds.”

Paige smiled at his reply. She knew it. He didn’t want to discuss it and she appreciated his reply. He’s not turning her down.

“Alright. Surprise me and I’ll surprise you.” She’s fully relieved now and enjoyed the food more. They managed to finish all the dishes they ordered.

“Are we going to head to your place now?”

“Well, do you need your stuff for work?”

Austin smiled. He didn’t think she would ask.

“Maybe not tonight. I’ll bring them tomorrow.”

“Great.” She was happy to hear that.

She helped him with directions.

“Do you live alone?”

“Hmm, yeah? I do have housekeepers but they’re off work at eight.”

“Okay.”

Fuck. Her place was impressive. It’s a huge place and she gave him a short tour on the way to her bedroom.

“Next door’s empty. You can probably work there if you prefer working without distraction.”

“You sure are distracting.” He quipped, stunning her for a second. She ended up laughing and he grinned at her reaction.

She decidedly went over to him, wrapping her arms around his neck and kissing him passionately. She’s grateful that he agreed. It wasn’t exactly easy. He kept her on her toes. Austin went with the flow. He didn’t even have the time to scan her bedroom. Well, all they needed for now was her bed. She climbed up his body, wrapping her legs around his waist and he carried her towards the queen-size bed.

She was drained and allowed him to take charge this time. He was amused when she fell asleep after just one round. Initially, he thought she’s just trolling him. He tried many tricks to wake her up but she seemed to be truly asleep. He tucked her in and remained awake for another hour. He roamed around her bedroom for a while before returning next to her.

Paige had a sweet dream and it’s been a long while since she had one. It was bliss.

When morning came, she invited him for breakfast but he told her he had to go.

“Are you sure?”

“Yeah. I’ll come back after eight.” He kissed her again before leaving, which was actually an odd gesture. She only noticed just now.

When he mentioned the time, she realized why. He didn’t want to be seen by her staff, did he?

She made sure to instruct the maids to clean up the guest room she pointed to him last night. Right now, she’s inclined to believe he’s the reason she could sleep well at night. She’ll give it a few more nights and see if her insomnia would once again prevent her from getting proper rest. She might get depressed if this setup doesn’t work. Nothing else worked, so she’s hoping this would.

She recalled how she slept before without even having s*x with him, so she figured she would have to test that. Was it the s*x or just his presence?

When he came that night, she told him she wanted to watch a movie first. They cuddled on the bed as a movie played. Paige felt sleepy and soon, she was nodding off. He chuckled when he noticed and he carefully adjusted her position on the bed. With home clothes, she actually looked much younger. She’s like an angel, with her hair down and large white shirt.

He finished the movie and took a quick nap. He got up before midnight to work on his project. He diligently worked until four. Tired, he went to bed and slept. When Paige woke up, she felt light and the realization that it might not be the s*x oddly gave her relief. Heck, having s*x was tiring, too. She’d rather have a few days of pure sleep when she can. It seemed like he didn’t mind the lack of coupling. Then, she noticed his open laptop on her study table. It was turned off but he made notes on paper. She snooped around before getting a shower. She shrugged before leaving the room, deciding to let him sleep. He must have worked late into the night. It’s the weekend, anyway. Surely, he didn’t need to run in the office.

Fuck! When he finally woke up, the first thing he did was to curse. It was already nine. He should’ve left much earlier. Paige wasn’t in the room so he quickly packed his stuff. Before he finished, she came in to find him scrambling.

“Do you have somewhere you need to be?” She hesitantly asked. Maybe she should’ve woken him up?

“None. I just figured you’d want me out of the house early.” He quickly explained.

“I didn’t say that, did I?” She got confused by his statement.

“No, you didn’t.”

“Why the rush, then?”

He paused, “You don’t mind that I’m still here? At this time?”

She shrugged again, “Why would I mind? I’m not hiding you, am I? I figured you’d have woken up already. There’s breakfast in the kitchen, if you care to join me.”

“You haven’t had breakfast yet?”

“I’ve had coffee.”

He took a deep breath. “Are you sure that’s okay?”

“Of course.”

“What will you do if we get photographed together?”

“Nothing. Nothing needs to be said. They can speculate all they want. They’ll stop when they can’t get a reaction from you. I mean, us. Just ignore them.”

“I see. That’s alright, then.”

Austin still couldn’t help but wonder what her intention was. The guys have already noticed that the two of them no longer meet at the club. They asked if they had a falling out or what. He wouldn’t dare to tell them the truth. As much as possible, he preferred not to be embroiled in rumors.
