The Baby Bargain

Chapter 25: Harker

Harker stormed into Ethan's office. "Why the fuck did you do that you meddlesome piece of shit?" He'd done his best to salvage his night, but Dahlia had refused to listen to him.

"Sit down and have a drink." Ethan was on the couch watching the Club through the monitors.

"I should kick the shit out of you." He plopped down on a chair and grabbed the drink Ethan had prepared for him.

"I'd like to see you try." Ethen shot him a look. "It'd give me a good reason to kick your ass like you deserve. What the fuck are you doing here anyway?"

"Trying to get laid on my wedding night." He hadn't meant to admit that, but it'd been like a blister waiting to pop.

"Isn't that what your bride is for?" Ethan turned away from the monitors to focus on him.

"That's what I thought but I was mistaken."

"She refused? I thought she'd agreed to have your kid. Did she think you were doing that through a clinic or something?"

"No. She understood. It was all in the contract."

"Fucking women. Drink up." Ethan slid the bottle of bourbon toward Harker. "It's so unfair. If women want sex, we fall all over ourselves to be first in line to fuck them."

"I know." He tossed back his drink.

"They have those glorious pussies and can get cock whenever they want. it." Ethan leaned back. "Maybe we men should decide to hold out. Make them all beg. Turn the tables."

"That'd be perfect. The women of the world chasing us men. Begging us to fuck them." He could see Alison now, kneeling before him begging for his cock. His eyes met Ethan's and they both burst out laughing. "Not one of us would make it past the first offer."

"Nope. Not one." Ethan refilled his glass. "Shame though."

"Yeah, it is."

They sat in silence for few minutes.

"So, what did you do?" asked Ethan.

"Nothing."

"Come on. A woman doesn't refuse to fuck her husband on her wedding night."

"She didn't refuse."

"I'm confused." Ethan frowned.

Harker's jaw tensed. "She...she laughed."

"She laughed?" Ethan pointed to Harker's crotch. "At your—"

"No. We hadn't gotten that far."

"Oh. Wow. That's good because I don't think there's any going back from that. To have a woman laugh at your di—"

"She did not laugh at my dick." He had to make that clear. He wasn't letting that rumor start.

"Right. Got it." Ethan frowned. "But...what did she laugh at because for pussy I'd let a woman laugh at almost anything—anything but my cock—and still keep going."

"She laughed at the thought of me...of us...having sex."

"Oh, fuck." Ethan's brow wrinkled. "You should've kissed her. If it's done right, there's no room for anything but lust."

"I do it right and I tried." He touched his nose. "She started laughing and busted my nose with her fucking head. She gave me a nosebleed."

"Again?"

"Again? You heard about that? Did Adrian send you the video? I'm going to kill that bastard."

"There's a video?" Ethan pulled his phone from his pocket. "I have got to see that."

"No you don't." Fuck, he'd done it now. Adrian would send the video to Ethan and Ethan would share it with everyone.

"I do. I really do." Ethan typed on his phone and then dropped it onto the couch next to him.

"If you didn't hear it from Adrian, where did—"

"Tobias and Merri came by for a drink."

"Tobias has the biggest fucking mouth."

"Yeah, but the good thing about friends like them is that you never have to worry about someone learning your secrets because you have none." Ethan laughed.

"Yeah, that's so great. I can't wait to be the next Internet sensation."

"Seriously, she was nervous. So what? You know how to deal with that."

"She's not just nervous. She doesn't see me as a man." The words tore at his inside like claws.

"Then make her."

"How the fuck am I supposed to do that? She knows I'm a man, but she's put me in the boss-friend-eunuch zone."

"Then make her see you in a different way."

"How?"

"Bring her here." Ethan's lips turned up in a half-grin. "I've seen women fuck men who they'd never look twice at anywhere else. But the Club, it's magical. The whole place is like an aphrodisiac to women and us men are the lucky dicks who get invited to play."

"I can't bring her here."

"Why not?"

"She's...she's innocent to kink."

"That's perfect. You can show her what she's missing."

His dick began to harden at the thought, but he'd never play with her, not like he did with Dahlia. Ethan must've read his mind because the other man continued.

"You don't have to drag her on stage. Just being here with you will make her see you as a man." Ethan's eyes glowed. "Tony's found another sub."

"Really?" His gaze locked with Ethan's. "Who? He's particularly picky."

"A new member. I doubt she'll hold his interest for long, but I heard he's ready to take her to the stage."

"When?" Seeing Tony perform made all the women horny as fuck. It was always a disappointment when he was between subs because everyone got laid for free after Tony's show.

"Not sure. I can talk to him. I'll see if he'd be willing to wait for you and your bride to be here."

"Yeah. Do it." He wanted to go home and drag Alison here, but she'd be passed out by now.

"What day should I tell him?"

"Friday."

"That's almost a week from now."

"I know but this weekend isn't going to work. Alison was pretty drunk. She's going to be hung over tomorrow."

"Weekdays are good for fucking too."

"No shit, but we've got a lot of work. It has to be Friday. And save me a room. I think we'll spend the night."

"Got it. I don't know if Tony will wait that long but I'm sure I can talk him into performing again."
