Chapter 11: Chapter:11

**Taylor's POV**

I got home from my lunch meeting with Dimitri an hour ago. I didn't waste any time going through the contract once I walked into the apartment.

**...payment of 2 million will be made into Party A's bank account one year from the date of the finalized agreement. **

I read and my eyes widen. "This man can't possibly be serious." I say to myself.

The contract states that I need to pretend to be Dimitri's girlfriend for at least six months before he can propose and make me his wife.

Once we get married we can't separate for at least a year. In return, he supports me financially up until the date of the 2 million dollar payout.

It seems to me that Dimitri doesn't really know what he is getting both of us into. This contract is solid but it is so wrong to go about marriage this way.

He could've just told his mother that he would find a girl in his own time. He must really love her if he is willing to go to these lengths to keep her happy.

*She must be a great mother.*

The contract also states that I can't tell anybody about this agreement at all. If I do sign it and happen to tell somebody, I would have to pay Dimitri two hundred thousand dollars for breaching the NDA.

Once I've finished reading through the whole contract twice, I set it down on the table.

"Do I really want to do this?" I ask myself.

I could really use that money to make a better living for myself but I don't want to sell myself.

If I go through with this, I will be taken care of financially. I would not struggle anymore. I wouldn't have to worry about where I would get rent money because he would cover that for me.

There is also a downside to it though. I would kind of be throwing my morals out the window if I signed these papers.

"Uurrrrgggg." I grunt in frustration.

I don't know what to do and I can't even ask anybody.

My phone rings on the coffee table and I immediately grab it. Dimitri's name flashes on my screen and the butterflies start almost immediately.

I answered it and put the phone to my ear. "Hello." I say softly and he chuckles. "You sound like a baby." He says and I furrow my brows before clearing my throat.

"No I don't." I argue and he laughs. "If you say so."

"Do you need help with something?" I ask. "No. I just wanted to talk to you." He says and my heart skips a beat.

"You saw me two hours ago." I tell him and he hums. "I know. Still though, I wanted to hear your voice." He says and I swear, I almost melted into the couch.

"Oh." I say unsure of how to respond. "What are you doing?" He asks and I lay back on the couch. "I just got done reading through the contract. It's...interesting." I tell him and he lets out another throaty chuckle.

*So sexy.*

"And what are your thoughts on it?" He asks and I bite my lip. "I don't know yet. It's a good deal, but morally...I don't know what to do." I admit to him and he stays quiet for a while.

"I understand but please don't think I only want to use you. I genuinely want to get to know you too." He says and I smile. "Uh-huh and what exactly do you want to know?"

"I want to find out as much as possible. I want to know what you like and dislike. What are your fears and aspirations are. Your kinks." He says lowly and my breath hitches in my throat.

"Kinks? I don't have any kinks." I say with a red face.

*Liar, liar.*

"I guess we'll have to find out together." He says and I am immediately soaked at the thought of us exploring each other's bodies. "I-I uhm." I stutter and he chuckles.

"Do you want to come over?" He suddenly asks and I shoot up into a sitting position. "What? Why?" I ask.

"I want to hang out with you." He says and I can practically hear the sly smile on his face. "Or you want to get into my pants." I say and he hums.

"Would that be such a bad thing?" He asks and I take a breath in. "No." I say lowly and he chuckles.

"Do you want me to come and get you?" He asks slowly and I can feel my neither regions tighten. "Yes." I say a little too breathy for my liking.

"Pack a bag. I'll be there in 20 minutes." He says before hanging up.

"Oh my fuck." I say as it hits me.

I'm about to get laid.

It's been a couple of months and I probably don't even know how to do anything anymore.

I get up and rush to my room. Grabbing the leather duffle bag from underneath my bed, I go to my closet and grab two shirts, jeans, and a pair of shorts. A couple of sets of lacey underwear go into the bag as well as my make-up bag and toothbrush.

I have a couple more minutes so I hop into the shower and shave as fast as possible.

I wash my hair and body so fast that I almost fall on my ass. Getting out, I plug my blow dryer in first and dry my hair before putting it up into a quick bun.

I go back to my room and get some baggy grey sweatpants and a white halter-neck crop top before putting it on. Some lip balm soothes my dry lips and I am good to go.

I put my dainty gold necklace around my neck again and sit down on the couch. 

I know what could happen once I go over but am I ready for it? I don't know. Do I want to do it? Definitely.

Just the thought of what happened last weekend gets me hot. I'll find out once I am in that situation.

My phone dings and it's a text from Dimitri.

*I'm outside.

              7.16 PM*

I smile and grab my duffle bag and handbag before making my way down. I lock up and walk down the stairs only to run into Janie. "Woah. Where are you rushing off too?" She says carrying her laundry basket under her arm.

"Sorry. I am going somewhere." I tell her and she smirks. "With an overnight bag?"

"Yeah." I say with a coy smile. She laughs and I blush, knowing exactly what she's thinking about.

"Well have fun and text me when you're free. Seems like we have a lot of catching up to do." She says hugging me and sending me off.

"I will." I say as I walk outside.

There is a shiny, black 1965 Ford Mustang parked next to the curb and I smile knowing that Dimitri is inside waiting for me.

I peek inside and he smiles at me. Pulling the door open, I hand him my bags before getting in and shutting the door.

"Hi." I say a little too chirpy for my liking. "Hey. Do you have everything you need?" He asks and I nod.

"Off we go." He says and starts the car.  

It roars to life and the sound is just beautiful. "V8?" I ask and he grins. "Yeah." He simply answers and I smile.

"You're something else." He says before we pull off.

"We're going to make a quick stop at the store. We need to get a few snacks for our movie night." He says and I look at him.

"Movie night?" I ask confused and he smiles. "Yeah. I told you I wanted to hang out and I thought a movie night would be best." He says and my heart melts a little.

"Okay." I say with a small smile.

We get to the store and go inside once he parks. He grabs a cart and my hand catching me by surprise.

"Figured we'd get a little practice in for when you say yes." He says winking at me and I laugh. "Sure."

We get a few snacks and drinks before checking out and driving back to his place.
