The next night at work started a little awkward, Tom was a little shy about what had happened. That went away as soon as I smiled at him and said, "y...u know what happened last night? Well, I want more, please." Then I gave him a little hug. I don't think he stopped smiling the rest of the night. On the way home, I was riding with him in his car, I asked him to stop someplace dark. Now he really started to smile and he pulled into a tree lined parking lot and into one of the more darkened. Having failed big time, it was time for plan B.“Wait! Don't go!” I said in desperation as I fumbled through my purse, looking for the hundred-dollar bill I had tucked away for this very purpose. “I need you to stay! Please stay!” I said as I placed the bill on the small table by the front door. I figured this made my intentions quite clear.Eric looked down at the bill and back at me. “I can't believe this! You wanna pay me to do you? Jeez, lady? You don't have to pay anyone to do this. "Is it true that you paid rent to the reeve and not to me, for fifteen tagwerk of tillable land?" the baron asked sharply, his eyes boring into the flickering eyes of the farmer."Yes, Lord. Mercy, please! I only did it under orders of Markward!" Why, you cowardly liar!" the former reeve shouted angrily. "It was Helge, Lord, who came with the idea, and he paid me only half the rent for those fifteen tagwerk!"The baron smiled maliciously and winked at Pelle. Then he sobered and looked around in. “You’re not a bad looking guy, but come on...Let’s face it.”“What?” I asked, not looking up from my coffee.“Do you have any fucking idea how hot your girlfriend is!” he exclaimed,once again drawing the attention of several of the other customers. “She’s ridiculously hot! She could get laid every minute of every dayuntil your wedding! She’s probably got some guy’s dick inside her rightnow!”“Alright, alright!” I stated with annoyance. “I know. I don’t need youto tell me that. I’m trying not.
