Man For Hire

CHAPTER 4 - A NEW BEGINNING

"What's going on babe?" Cole asked softly.

I wasn't sure how to react. I didn't want to let my guard down.

why was he so calm. Did he find out about the money I made?

"What's this about," I retorted. Did something happen?

"you've been unavailable. We've not had a proper conversation or even a night together in the longest time. Have you resumed going to those events with unknow men?"

I was speechless. I had expected him to know, but since he said nothing about it, I supposed he didn't know, besides he was always busy and had no time for the news.

How would he have seen it heard...

"I've known for a while now." He responded as though he heard my thoughts.

Kechi came around the other day looking for you. She had mentioned something about an event, and I looked it up.

But she assured me, it was just for connections, and building your brand.

My jaw dropped subconsciously.

Why would Kechi speak to Cole about me and not tell me.

"um, yeah." I responded. "I just hire them."

"but how do you pay them?" he asked with so much concern.

uh... Cole, please let's talk about this later, I have to relax, and prepare for work.

"This is how you keep avoiding me. it's one excuse or the other" he was surprisingly loud.

"Okay okay, let's trash this now." I said in an outburst.

I hope I'm doing the right thing... well he has to know, and he'll find out someday.

I don't just work at the store, I've been paying the men I hire by having s*x with them, or just pleasuring them.

I had always wanted to tell you, but I was not sure how you'd react, and I love you, but I just have to do what I need to do to be out of the trenches.

I was almost in tears. I wasn't sure what was prompting the tears.

Maybe it was the surprised look on his face as he stared at me in disbelief or the fact that I was breaking his heart.

"I needed the money Cole, I'm sorry." I said finally.

"Why didn't you speak to me?" he broke down. " I did everything possible to ensure you were comfortable. I gave you all of me Kay, all of me."

Hearing the word Kay reminded me of Rae.

it was stupid of me to think of her at this point, but I couldn't stop my brain from doing what it so pleased.

"I know, I know. I know you did your best, and you still are working so hard, but it's just not enough for me." I couldn't bear to see him heart broken.

I walked into the small room where we slept, and I laid down, crying.

I wondered what his next line of action would be.

Was he going to ask me to leave? should I just pack up and move?

I could stay at Rae's for the time being as I establish my club.

Cole walked into the room, and he just kept staring at me.

The room was dark from poor lighting.

Fear began to creep into my body as I wondered what he planned to do. I could see his eyes were red with bitterness, but I couldn't tell what his mind was thinking.

Cole...? I called out, and he chose to not respond.

Cole?

He moved closer, and slowly.

was he going to kill me?

I sat up quickly, trying to prepare myself for the worst.

Cole sat at the edge of the bed, close to the tip of my legs.

"I love you Kayla, but I can't force you to stay with me if you have decided to live a different life." Cole stated.

I grabbed his hand, and moved to kiss his lips.

"I love you too Cole, I'm sorry it has to be this way."

He kissed me back softly as though he was following the rhythm of a song.

He moved to kiss my neck passionately.

I wasn't sure I could take it, my body needed to rest from all the c*ming I had done yesterday.

refusing him now might make things worse..

uhhhhh...mmmm...

I moaned loudly even though I wasn't turned in yet. I just wanted him to feel good.

Sex with Cole was boring. I have tried to spice it up. He just doesn't get it.

Reminds me of why I decided to try out some other guy. I had felt there was more to this than just thrusting in and out without rhythm, but Cole wasn't getting it.

"uh, Cole, let's do this when I get back, I need to prepare for work." I could feel the swelling in his jeans.

I felt terrible for giving him blue balls, but I just was not ready to deal with boring s*x this morning.

He walked out the room to God knows where, and I took a nap.

***

I woke up just in time to be early for work.

Harry West had given me a reply. I drove out more excited than I came in.

I was meeting with Harry this evening to finalize the process for the event I'd be going to with him.

Work was smooth. Smoother than yesterday.

Things were getting better, maybe it's because I had planned to leave the job as soon as I started Men For Hire.

"Good afternoon Ma, someone is here to see you." Jessie announced.

"Who is it?"

"He says he is a friend" Jessie replied.

Does he have no name? find out and get back to me.

If he insists on giving you no name, tell him I will not see him.

who could it be? who amongst my elite friends could have found out that I work here.

oh God... I hope it's not someone important.

"Ma, he said Sean."

Sean who? from where? and what the hell does he want?

I was beginning to get upset.

Jessie went back out to get a proper answer, and I was dazzled by her response.

He said Sean from Rae.

Rae? I asked rhetorically. Let him in.

Had Rae told anyone about Men For Hire already? and What does he want?

A slim brown skinned guy walked in. He smiled as though satisfied that he had gotten on my nerves.

"You may leave Jessie, thank you."

Hello...? I say to the strange figure standing before me.

"Hello Kayla." He replied sharply.

Who are you? and what do you want with me? I retorted angrily.

"It would do you some good to calm down and hear me out. I am not an enemy." Sean said calmly.

I hear you say you're from Rae...?

Yes.

Did she send you?

No.

"So? what is it that you want, or better put, how can I help you."

Sean moved slowly towards me, and I wasn't sure what next line of action to take.

"You're fierce" I like it, he whispered. "But you weren't this sharp tongued when I had your hard n*****s in my mouth some hours ago."

"some... wait, what?"

I couldn't believe what I had just heard.

could he have been amongst those whom Rae had in her room?

oh my!

It had not even crossed my mind to ask Rae who the other people were.

What do you want, and how did you find me?

"I just followed you" he replied...

He was hot, and tempting. But I was not going to f*ck a stranger in my office.

I see you got some good work going on for yourself, asides dicking around.

Smack!

I wasn't sure why I hit him, but I felt insulted.

"How dare you walk into my office saying such."

Sean moved quickly, holding my two hands behind my back.

What was he going to do..? Should I scream?
