I couldn't deny the surge of interest that pulsed through me at his proposition. Every fiber of my being screamed out to accept, but I forced myself to maintain a façade of composure. I feigned contemplation, inwardly wrestling with my desire. "Come on, Jai, it works out perfectly for both of us," he whispers, urging me to give in to temptation. "How so?" I ask, playing the part of the skeptic, though I knew full well the benefits it would bring me. What I couldn't quite grasp was how it would benefit him. "You want me as much as I want you," he replied, his smirk growing as he leaned in closer.
