you about something.” I glance at the students passing by. “Somewhere private.”
She purses her lips. “Sure. I know a good place.” She starts toward the door. We end up in the alley, and Alessandra leans on a big fence. “What did you want to talk about?”
“Are you still in contact with Caleb?” I ask, restlessly tapping my foot.
“I know how to reach him, yeah. Why?” She’s carefully observing me, her brows drawn together.
“I need his services.” I sound like a drug addict who’s asking for more of her fix.
“Sex?”
I nod.
“He’s just that good, isn’t he?” She bites down on her lower lip. “Knows how to make a woman happy.”
“Yeah.” I wonder if Alessandra slept with Caleb too, but I don’t want to know the answer, because I can’t even begin to imagine how awkward that would be.
“Don’t worry. I’ll contact him,” she says. “You want to meet him at the hotel you went to the first time?”
I shake my head. “I prefer somewhere else, but not my apartment. One of my neighbors is having a party, so... not a good idea.”
“Huh. I’m not sure if he’ll like that, but I’ll see what I can do. Is there a reason why you don’t want to go to that hotel?” She gives me probing gaze, her face serious.
“No. I just don’t want to be seen there. A month or so ago, some guy recognized me in a freakin’ bar.” I try to look indignant. “Can you believe that? I don’t know who can recognize me on the street or near the hotel, and I really don’t want this to reach my father or the press.”
“Of course. You have to be careful.” The suspicion disappears from Allie’s eyes. “I’ll call you as soon as I hear from him.”
“Thank you.” The truth is, I don’t want to meet Caleb in some hotel or a room because I don’t want to have sex with him this time. I’m not sure if he’ll agree to just keep me company, but I’ll take that risk. If he doesn’t agree, well, at least I’ll know he’s truly not interested in me and I’m only another client to him. The only thing I can lose is some of my money. But at least I won’t have to explain to Alessandra why I’d want to see Caleb for anything other than sex, and I sure as hell don’t want him to get scared of my intentions and refuse me without me having a chance to explain myself.
“Are you sure you want Caleb?” she suddenly asks. “I know he’s like your favorite right now, but I know some other guys who are good at what they do too.”
A frown creases my brow. “Caleb already knows me and I feel comfortable with him. I’m not interested in other guys, but I’m curious about something. How do you find them?”
“I have weird friends.” She laughs. “No, seriously, I know a lot of people. I met some of Caleb’s friends. He’s not working alone, you know.”
“Are they as hot as he is?” I think that’s a safe question to ask because that’s something Alessandra would expect.
“Hell, yeah.” She grins. “I went to a few private parties with them. We had lots of fun.”
“Private parties? That sounds intriguing.”
Alessandra runs a finger across her lips. “Sorry, I’m not allowed to tell you anything because there’s lots of sex involved and some illegal substances, but nothing dangerous, trust me. Maybe I’ll tell you someday. I don’t want to get banned for life because I talked too much. All you need to know is that if you go to those parties, your pleasure is guaranteed. They can cater to each and every one of your fantasies.”
“Wow.” A tentative smile appears on my lips. “What does your boyfriend think about that?”
“Steven?” She rolls her eyes. “He doesn’t know.” She pushes herself off the fence and stalks toward me, her eyes narrowing. When she stops, her face is only inches from mine. “And you won’t mention anything to him about this, understand? I know your secret and you know mine. I think you can see how indiscretion could harm us
