"I'll give you back the thousand dollars you paid for me."

I shook my head. "I don't want it back. You're quite a bargain at that price. And I think you'll be easier to handle as a boughten woman than you would be if you were free."

She reached up and kissed me quickly. "I'm easy for you to handle at any price," she said, "or no price at all."

HE just couldn't afford this scent of girl flesh! He couldn't afford to let his marriage go boom right before his eyes, just for sensation, just for girl flesh... and yet...

She covered his face, his eyes, his throat, with small, fluttering kisses, warm and soft as the touch of a moth, and she made throaty, crooning sounds of love. "I'll make you happy," she promised. "I'll be what you want me to be. I'm yours, darling, I'll be your whore, nurse, wife, anything at all. But I must have you, all of you."

He couldn't give up his wife, but he couldn't have them both! Now Yevette was furious. "Listen, darling. Your nice, little comfortable wife was a bitch when she was in high school. Hell, the boys all said all they had to do to get in her pants was knock on her door three times. On the third knock, she'd have her pants off, waiting."

He held her for a long time, turning over in his mind the dangerous commitment he had made. God, what had he done! This gorgeous, irresistible female was a devil!.
