The Arrangement

"Mr. Parker? You startled me."

"Miss Porter, I've been waiting for a chance like this for a while."

"What do you mean?"

"Don't be coy Miss Porter. I've noticed you looking at me."

"I haven't been looking at you."

"You're a very bad liar Miss Porter. You act all sweet and innocent. You try to hide your body in those loose clothes, but I'll bet you're an animal in bed. Am I right?"

"No...."

He slowly started unbuttoning my blazer. I pushed his hands away.

"What are you doing Mr. Parker?"

"What I know we both want."

"No I don't. You're married."

"I am married, but also a man with needs. You see, my wife is going through menopause and hasn't had a sex drive in some time."

"You could get any woman you want. Why would you want me?"

"I don't have time to go out searching for a woman to satisfy my needs, and who would keep her mouth shut. Plus, there's hotel expenses and spending money on dinners and presents to woo her with before getting her into bed."

"So you think I'll just jump into bed with you?"

" Maybe we can make an arrangement."

"An arrangement?"
