An Affair With The Ceo (Natasha and Jared) novel Chapter 52

Chapter 52 Name His Price

Chapter 52 Name His Price

Natasha’s almond-shaped eyes were misty, and her pretty face was flushed.

She looked torn between agony and longing, her expression a tangled mess of desire.

She was practically irresistible, tempting anyone to cross the line.

A rush of heat flooded through Jared, his Adam’s apple bobbing as he swallowed hard.

He just couldn’t tear his eyes away from her.

She was breathtakingly gorgeous right now, absolutely dazzling.

Every little move she made was teasing every last shred of his self-control as a man.

Normally, he prided himself on his ironclad self-control, even bordering on being a total ascetic.

But faced with her, the woman he’d been longing for all this time, lying there so alluring and tempting right in front of him, there was just no way he could stay indifferent.

Jared’s eyes turned deep and dangerous, his voice low and husky. “So, tell me, how exactly do you want me to help you?”

Natasha almost rolled her eyes so hard they’d get stuck.

‘Seriously, is he really going to play the saint in front of me?’ she thought.

She’d been drugged and was feeling this miserable,

‘Does he really need me to spell it out for him?’ she grumbled to herself.

“Can you just sleep with me?” she blurted out, her voice trembling with desperation.

Natasha anxiously grabbed his hand, nuzzling her cheek against the back of it, her eyes brimming with longing as she gazed up at him.

She just went for it and asked straight out.

Her whole body was burning up, every nerve alive with desire, she couldn’t care about anything else right now.

‘Who cares if he’s my boss? As long as he’s a man, that’s all that matters!’ Natasha thought, desperate and reckless.

Jared narrowed his eyes at her, his voice low and dangerous. “You want to sleep with me?”

His expression was mysterious, impossible to read.

He reached out, his big hand gently caressing her restless cheek. He felt both protective and weighed down by the

moment.

The cool touch of his palm made her let out a soft sound of relief.

“So cool. Hurry, give me more…” she whimpered, her voice trembling with need.

Natasha nodded eagerly, her voice sweet and sultry.

She pulled his hand over, trailing it down her pretty face, along her neck, and even lower.

She didn’t stop until she heard Jared’s breath grow rough and heavy.

“Mr. Rundell, could you just treat this as helping me out?” Natasha pleaded, gripping his hand tighter, her gaze turning hazy and seductive.

Jared leaned in even closer, his face just a breath away from hers, the air between them charged with tension. “What if I don’t feel like helping you?”

Natasha was getting anxious.

She thought, ‘Seriously? He doesn’t want to sleep with me?

‘Didn’t he kiss me forcefully several times before?

‘Is it because his fiancée Lizzie just came back? Is he really going to keep himself chaste for the Hopkins family heiress? ‘Oh my god, what am I supposed to do now?’

Natasha was at her wit’s end. Gritting her teeth, she pleaded, “If you really won’t sleep with me yourself, could you at least call a male escort for me? And make sure he’s hot, okay…”

Jared nearly lost it because of her, he was so s

He’d just been testing the waters, curious to se

Successfully unlocked!

But she actually wanted him to hire an escort for her, and insisted he had to be hot.

What really threw him for a loop was that she’d rather have him find an escort than ask him to get in touch with her husband, Percy.

“You really are picky, huh?” Jared snorted, his handsome face suddenly darkening.

Jared snorted coldly, his handsome face turning dark.

“Mr. Rundell, could you please hurry up and call that escort for me? I really can’t take it anymore…” Natasha pleaded, her forehead drenched in cold sweat, her voice laced with agony and desperation.

Even though Jared felt a pang of sympathy for her torment, he was still annoyed that she’d actually dare ask him to call for a male escort.

“If I try to get someone over now, it’s probably already too late,” he said, his voice calm and matter-of-fact.

He leaned in, twirling her long hair around his fingers as he murmured a reminder softly by her ear.

Natasha felt a sudden heaviness in her chest, her heart dropping out of nowhere.

Her anxiety only grew, making her even more restless.

The drug was messing with her breathing, leaving her gasping and unable to catch her breath.

‘If this keeps up, I really can’t hold on, I’m reaching my limit!’ Natasha thought, desperation gnawing at her.

“Then, I guess I’ll just have to ask you directly, Mr. Rundell. Could you please help me?” Natasha had no choice but to

swallow her pride and turn to him for help once more, her voice trembling with desperation.

She thought, ‘Why go looking elsewhere when there’s a perfectly good man right in front of me?’

She really couldn’t take this torture any longer.

In her desperation, Natasha pleaded, “Mr. Rundell, seriously, I won’t make you sleep with me for free. Whatever I’d pay for an escort, I’ll pay you. Name your price…”

She watched as Jared’s face got even darker, his expression practically thunderous.

Natasha felt especially frustrated with herself.

She thought, ‘Damn it, what am I even saying?

‘Is this drug making me lose my mind or what?

‘Did I just imply Jared is an escort?’

Even though that was exactly what she was thinking, she knew better than to actually say it out loud.

“No, that’s not what I meant. Mr. Rundell, I didn’t mean you’re an escort. I just meant I’ll pay you…” Natasha rambled, her explanation a total mess.

Unbeknownst to her, she was just digging herself deeper.

If any other woman had dared to mouth off to Jared like that, she wouldn’t have survived it.

But with Natasha, he let it slide. Instead of getting angry, he fought to keep the wild, surging desire in his eyes from taking

over.

“How much are you willing to pay me?” Jared rasped, his voice thick with desire.

He rasped the question, his voice rough and low.

Natasha stared at him, barely able to believe what she was hearing.

She was practically bursting with excitement, struggling to keep it in.

‘Wait, is he actually agreeing?’ she thought, her heart racing with hope.

Excitedly, Natasha slid closer along Jared’s arm, not even noticing how his body stiffened, every muscle taut with tension as she drew near.

“How about you name your price? I’ll pay whatever you ask,” Natasha said, her voice shaky with desperation.

She really had no choice since she was going to sleep with Jared.

With someone at his level, it wasn’t like she could set the price for a night. He was the one in charge here.

After all, he wasn’t short on money, and he definitely wasn’t some escort for hire.

‘What kind of number would actually make him say yes?’ Natasha wondered, her mind spinning.

“How much money do you have right now?” Jared asked, his voice cool and challenging.

Jared locked his arm around her slender waist, pulling her tightly into his embrace so their bodies pressed together, not a

single gap between them.

Natasha’s mind was reeling, like it was about to blow.

Her whole body was burning up, every drop of blood sizzling with heat.

She thought, ‘Does he really have to get this close?

‘He knows I can’t control myself right now, and we haven’t even settled on a price yet! Getting this close, is he trying to drive me insane?

Natasha’s face was flushed, barely able to meet his gaze. “Less than 300 thousand!”

She was being completely honest.

Even though she was the daughter of the Whittier family, the allowance she got barely even came close to what her siblings received.

All her savings and cash together didn’t even hit 300 thousand.

And she’d earned every bit of it herself.

“Then I want all of it,” Jared said, his voice low and teasing, totally in control.

Natasha never expected Jared to take advantage of her being out of her mind with desire, raising the price right then and there.

“What? That’s outrageous!” Natasha gasped, her voice full of disbelief.

Her dreamy, unfocused eyes widened in shock.

‘That price is way too expensive!’ she thought, her heart racing.

Even the fanciest escort wouldn’t charge that much for just one night.

Of course, he was not an escort.

But even though he was her boss, charging 300 thousand for just one night with her was straight-up robbery.

The real kicker was that other women who slept with their boss usually would be paid.

For her, not only would she not get paid, she actually had to pay him 300 thousand.

Jared really was in a league of his own when it came to business.

Of all the guys in the world, why did I have to run into him tonight?’ Natasha groaned inwardly, feeling like fate was just messing with her.

“If you think it’s too expensive, then just drop it,” Jared said, his tone casual and a little provocative.

As he spoke, he moved to let go of her.

There was no way Natasha was letting go of him now.

She blurted out, clutching his shirt for dear life, “No, don’t. Mr. Rundell, please, don’t let go. The price is totally negotiable!” Jared looked down at Natasha, who was squirming in his arms like a wild little kitten.

Right now, she was just drop-dead gorgeous and downright tempting, every move she made was dripping with allure.

But Jared knew exactly why she was being so reckless, even bold enough to try and sleep with him, it was all because she’ d been drugged and just wanted to use him as her cure.

‘If she was sober right now, would she still want me this badly?’ Jared wondered, a shadow of doubt creeping into his heart. Jared’s eyes turned dark and unreadable.
