Honey You Are My Lucky Star (Callen and Chelsea) novel Chapter 21

My heart's dripping with blood at the thought of me undressing before him like a whore, and my hands are trembling.

Tomorrow's the deadline to pay back.

Be a whore, or be a miserable corpse.

I need to survive, so I urgently want to know his answer. I want to be sure that he will give me a hand.

It's the last button but I can't unbutton it no matter what. The more nervous I get, the more my hands shake.

"People never smile in the truest way when they're against their will." Harrison says slowly while sitting on the sofa.

I look at him straight in the eye after unbuttoning the last button. "I'm willing to do it."

Yes, I'm willing to be against my will.

I'm not the youngest or the prettiest, and my temperament is not remarkable. In a way, I'm lucky to be here.

He is my last way out.

He narrows his eyes and there's no smile on

his face. After looking at me for a while, he slowly gets up.

The moment he gets up, I'm so flustered that I don't know what to do.

There's only one thought in my mind. It's coming, isn't it?

He stands in front of me without saying a word, which makes me feel even worse. I lower my head and ask in a dry voice, "Can you please help me?"

"I can take care of your daily needs, as well as... your physical needs." I almost broke down when I said the last part of the sentence.

He won't mind it, will he?

Looking at his calm eyes, I slowly take off my dress and say word by word, "Although I was divorced, my skin is better than a young girl's."

"I know how to flirt better than most girls and I can give you anything you want sexually. The only man I've ever been with is my ex-husband, so I'm kind of clean."

I try to sell myself to him as a commodity, hoping he will give me what I want.

But he just keeps silent. His expression stays calm, as if he hasn't heard what I said.

I think for a moment and continue to say, "I can be an invisible lover and only appear when you need me. You don't have to wear a condom because I'll be on the pill. I'm not gonna cause you any problems in your life."

I think I've made myself clear.

I'm standing in front of the sofa in my underwear. The air conditioning makes me shiver slightly.

But my palms are sweaty, out of nervousness or fear.

As the seconds ticked by, I become more and more flustered. Will this expressionless man say no?

I place both hands on my bra and decide to unbutton it. "If you..."

Harrison takes a step forward and grabs my hands.

My mind goes blank and I completely forget what I was gonna say. But the faint smell of tobacco on him is somehow reassuring.

"You don't have to do this." He takes a step back and keeps me at arm's length.
