Jay swigged from his half-empty bottle of bourbon. "And that's why you should never sleep with a virgin," he finished.
Gaia blinked. That wasn't the conclusion she'd drawn from his tale at all. Leaning across the table, she said, "Maybe it's not because she was a virgin. Maybe it was all about the money."
"Money?" Jay snorted. "She gave it back to me. Didn't take a cent. Said she wanted the s*x more."
"And you believed that?"
The bottle slammed down on the table. "Of course I f*****g did. I'm awesome in bed. Ask anyone. Even that maid...Audrey...tried to pay her, but she wouldn't take my money. We were perfect together. But she called me names and s**t, too. Said I cheated on her." He sighed.
"Did you?" Gaia asked before she could stop herself.
"Sort of," Jay admitted.
