compliments you, and two, reporters shouldn’t have already formed an opinion about someone they plan to write an article about.”
    Lucy jabs her fork at me accusingly.
    “ It’s not going to work.”
    “ This job?”
    “ Your charm offensive.”
    “ You’ve got me mistaken.”
    “ It’s going to take more than a few compliments and posh looking food to convince me of that. What is this by the way?”
    Lucy pushes the bluefin tuna around her plate.
    “ Fish.”
    She slices into the succulent fillet and delivers the forkful to her mouth, barely needing to chew. Watching women eat is sexy. Some people probably think that’s weird but it’s always turned me on. Lucy does it well. She’s got plump lips I’d call full fat that look like they’d be fun to kiss, even more exciting wrapped around my cock. She’s only been here a few hours and she’s already making me think like that.
    “ So, The Rhino.”
    “ I’ve never liked that nickname.”
    “ Coming from you, that surprises me.”
    “ You know why they call me it?”
    “ I always thought it had to do with the size of your, what’s it called, brain.”
    I smile, while Lucy delivers another tender slice of tuna to her mouth.
    “ But I know why they really call you it, so don’t flatter yourself.”
    “ Oh yeah?”
    “ Yeah. Everyone knows it’s because you’re rarely seen in the wild anymore.”
    “ That’s funny.”
    Lucy smiles at me with her gorgeous round eyes.
    “ This is good.”
    “ I have a good team.”
    “ They don’t mind living here, in the middle of nowhere?”
    “ Not with the amount I pay them.”
    “ You like it then. This.”
    “ It has its ups and downs.”
    “ I can’t do this honestly if you don’t answer honestly.”
    “ I told you we should start tomorrow.”
    “ So what do we do tonight?”
    “ Why don’t you tell me about you.”
    Lucy has to hold back a laugh. “Uhuh. That’s definitely not going to happen.”
    “ I need to know I can trust you, there has to be a bit of give and take, surely.”
    There’s that look again. The narrowing of the eyes, the quick decision about whether she can trust me. She pauses dramatically to drink from her glass of wine and I take the opportunity to fill the gap in conversation.
    “ I want this to flow like a natural conversation between two people who are getting to know each other.”
    “ One, this article is about you, not me, and two, this isn’t a date.”
    I lean back into my seat, smiling.
    “ You know that’s a classic tell.”
    “ What is?”
    “ Saying this isn’t a date.”
    She rolls her eyes. “Alright. What do you want to know?”
    “ Just like that?”
    “ Ask away.”
    I’m blocked. I don’t know what to ask.
    “ See. It isn’t easy is it?”
    “ Alright. Why did you come?”
    “ Because you asked me to.”
    “ You could have refused.”
    “ Refuse a week’s paid holiday? No chance.”
    “ Is that what this is for you?”
    “ What this is for me is an opportunity, I’m not blind to that. What I don’t understand is why you picked me, of all the journalists across the States, you chose me, a nobody.”
    “ I admire your work.”
    “ My fascinating interviews with non-professionals.”
    “ I thought you might be honest.”
    “ That could be dangerous for you.”
    “ I guess we’ll find out soon.”
    “ I have a question.”
    “ You never stop working do you?”
    “ Have you ever brought a girl here you didn’t intend to fuck?”
    Wow. Either that wine is stronger than I thought or her will is. Nothing like getting to the point straight away, I like that.
    “ Would you think I was an asshole if I told you no?”
    Lucy tilts her head at me and smiles.
    “ No, I’d just think you were lying.”
    “ You mean you?”
    “ No, I don’t mean me.”
    I’m almost certain she’s going red.
    “ Lots of women want to fuck me, there’s nothing to be embarrassed about.”
    “ If your plan is to make me think you’re not an
