Lucas carried her into the bathroom, a hint of amusement playing in his eyes as he washed her. "See? My service is quite thorough. Are you comfortable?" After the intense passion they had just shared, Aveline's body felt weak and limp, but her tone was icy. "Very comfortable. How much do I owe you?"

Lucas paused mid-wash, a dangerous glint appearing in his eyes. "What did you just say?"

Aveline continued as if she hadn't noticed, "Based on market rates, your skills and service were decent. How about a thousand bucks?"

Lucas laughed in disbelief. This woman-she was treating him like some hired plaything!

He squeezed her gently, teasingly. "Seems you're satisfied with my service. How about we continue?"
