I’ve been working. My event planning business is off to a good start. Why not help me with it? You can be my assistant. I’ll agree to pay you by the job and who knows? It may get to the point where I can pay you a salary. What do you say?”
    Hope picked up her television remote and clicked the television on. “I’ll think about it.”
    â€œWhat’s there to think about? You need a job. I will need help with some of my stuff.”
    Hope rolled her eyes. “I said I’ll think about it.”
    I softened the tone of my voice. “I know I tease you about being nothing but a pretty face. You’re more than that. I got to go. I got a date tonight, so I’ll be looking for your answer tomorrow.”
    I left Hope alone with her thoughts. I showered and met Tyler at his place. Tyler liked to pull disappearing acts, so instead of looking at him as being a viable love interest, I categorized him for what he was, a booty call. When I needed some sexual healing, he was my man.
    I found myself laughing out loud every time he tried to convinceme that he was so in love with me. His words went in one ear and out the other. Eventually, I would be ready to get into a relationship, but as for now, Tyler was my in-between time man. The go-to guy to scratch the itch. The one who could fulfill my sexual desires. Nothing more, nothing less.
    Tyler greeted me with a long, sensual kiss. “How are you, sweetheart?”
    â€œJust fine.” I opened up my coat and let it fall to the floor revealing my glistening, naked body. I used a half bottle of body oil to make sure I would be soft and shiny.
    Tyler scooped me up in his arms and carried me to his bed. “You came for business.”
    â€œI sure did. Now get on your knees, so I can feed you.”
    Tyler got on his knees as instructed. “I’m your genie. I’ll make all of your wishes come true.”
    I opened up my legs and he ate me like he was at a buffet. I had no problem providing the main course. My body shivered in pleasure as I reached climax after climax.
    With wet lips, he looked up at me. “Anything else, Madam?”
    â€œYes. I need you inside of me. Now.”
    He didn’t hesitate to oblige me. Within minutes, he was dipping his latex-covered chocolate stick inside of me. I wrapped my legs around his waist as he dove deeper and deeper. I matched his movements with each stroke, bringing us both pleasure over and over again.
    When it was all over, I took a quick shower, put on my long coat, and kissed Tyler on the cheek. “Thanks, we must do this again sometime.”
    â€œI wish you would stay.”
    â€œNo, I don’t think so. I’ll call you later this week.” I winked at him.
    Tyler had this magnetic pull. Good chocolate could be addictive.

CHAPTER 19
Hope
    O nce again, Tyler ignored my calls. I don’t know how much more of this I could take. He claimed he loved me and I was his girl, so his actions needed to line up with his words. I refused to be ignored.
    I grabbed my keys and drove straight to his house. I beat on his door. “Open up, Tyler. I know you’re in there. I saw your car.”
    Tyler, with a towel wrapped around his waist, opened up the door and pulled me inside. “Are you crazy? Knocking on my door like a madwoman.”
    â€œI’ve been trying to reach you. I know you got my messages. That phone stays glued to your hip.”
    â€œSome of us work. I just got home and out of the shower. Can a brother take a shower?”
    â€œYou could have called me when you got out of your meeting.”
    â€œIf you must know, it was a conference call. Now sit in the living room and chill out. Let me go get dressed.”
    I wrapped my arm around his neck. “No need to get dressed. Since I’m here, we can do a little something something.”
    Tyler moved my hand from around his neck. “Not tonight. I’m tired. It’s been a long
