an
even larger one about your industry. But in all things, no matter what popular
opinion tries to dictate, I try to think for myself.”
    He angled his body toward her, beginning to draw his finger up the
line of her neck. His voice was much huskier when he spoke. “I’ve examined the
situation from many angles.” His eyes raked over her form. She didn’t miss the
double entendre. “And I find no logical reason why anyone should look down on
either of us for having sex whenever we please with whomever we please.” His
fingers were working her hair out of the ponytail she wore. He looked smug and
satisfied when her hair spilled across her shoulders. “And if money is
exchanged, I don’t understand why that’s anyone’s business.”
    His hands wandered down her body, and he brushed his thumb over
her nipple, still speaking. “As with anything that involves another person,
there is a definite responsibility. It’s important to be on the same page. It’s
important not to lie.”
    Her heart stuttered, but he didn’t seem to notice the way her body
stiffened.
    “But the idea that some
kinds of sex are wrong or bad right off the bat? That idea is just dumb.”
    “Right.”
    Snap out of it , she chastised herself. His hands were
wandering. She knew what he wanted, and she had a job to do. Pushing away the
sudden rush of guilt, she got her head in the game.
    “You’re going to scrub a hole in the wall.”
    Brought out of her memory, Lilith sat up straight, hissing when
she realized she’d been bent over for too long. Her body protested as she
dropped the brush and stretched her arms out, rotating her sore wrist.
    From the doorway, Dana looked bewildered. “What the heck are you
doing?”
    “What does it look like?”
    “I think you got that spot,” Dana said. “Why are you scrubbing the
walls?”
    Lilith shrugged. “I don’t know.”She wasn’t in the mood for girl chat. Dana would have questions she didn’t know how
to answer. “Seemed like the thing to do.”
    Dana laughed, offering her hand to help Lilith up. “Girl, you’ve
got to get out more.”

    “You’re shitting me. You are lying to me right now.”
    “Would I lie about something like this?”
    Lilith grabbed her sides, laughing so hard she ached.
    “It’s not so funny,” Trey groused, crossing his arms.
    “Oh God.” It
was hard to breathe through paroxysms of laughter. “Yes it is. It really is.”
She sat up on the bed, wiping tears from under her eyes. “Your name is Oswald
Fitz Bauer the Third?”
    He made a face at her, but there was amusement in his eyes. “You
were named after a demon. You know that, right?”
    Lilith giggled. “Okay, okay.” She took deep breaths, trying to
calm down. “Where do you get Trey from Oswald?”
    “I don’t. Trey is from the third.”
    She had to press her lips together to keep from laughing again.
“Well, given the choice between Oswald, Fitz, and Trey, I guess that’s an
obvious decision.” She lay back down, still tittering every now and again.
    “Well, what’s your full name?”
    “Lilith Medusa Damon,” she lied without blinking an eyelash.
    He pushed up onto one arm so he was leaning over her. “Seriously?”
    She pursed her lips. “What? My parents were playing up the whole
last name thing.”
    “They could have been more subtle. They could have named you Demon Demon Damon.”
    “That’s my brother’s name.”
    He looked at her for a full two seconds before he laughed, ducking
so his forehead rested on her shoulder.
    This is nice , she thought as she ran her fingers
through his hair. Weird, but nice. It struck her as
strange on multiple levels. First, and probably foremost, was how much fun she
had when she was with him. In most cases her clients had their fun and returned
to their real lives. She’d never had casual conversation and teasing after sex.
She was lying nude in his bed, but they weren’t doing anything sexual. She was
still on the clock, but as
