“Thought I knew you, Bean, but you’re not that good girl priss I thought you were.”He takes a swig and I do the same.
“You saw?”I meet his gaze.
“Yeah, baby.I saw.”
My heart stutters in my chest.He’s never called me baby.“And?”
“You’re good at it.”
“Are you going to tell my father?”
“No.”he shakes his head.
“Thank you.”
“Let me finish.”
Shit.
“I’m not going to tell him because you’re going to stop.”
“Excuse me.”
“You heard me.You’re playing a dangerous game.Do you know how easy it would be for one of those fuckers to track you down and take what they think they are owed?Bet your fucking snatch is plastered all over the dark web.”
“I don’t do full nudity, Ice.”
His gaze cuts to mine.I never use his road name.
“Tall Tom.”
“What?”
“That’s his username.”
“Who?”
“Those swingers back at the bar.Jenny Lynn wasn’t some nice lady, Bean.They found out where you were, and his wife is pissed about the money he’s been giving you.”
“How do you know that?”
“Heard them arguing about it in the parking lot.Their room is only four doors down from ours.”
“I feel sick.”
“Good,” he snaps.“Log in and cash out.Then, take down your accounts.”
“I can’t afford my rent if I stop,” I confess.
“We both know your daddy would pay it.”
I shake my head.“He wanted me to stay at home and go to school locally.That was our deal.If I went, I had to prove that I could do it.”
“You’ll quit, or I’ll tell him.”
“Fine.Tell him.”A tear rolls down my cheek.“That’s really one of my subscribers?”
“Yeah, Bean.You’ve got to be more careful.I won’t always be around to protect you.What if I wasn’t here with you?They could have you tied up in their room or worse.”
