‘Look, Princess, whatever you’re worried about, you don’t have to be. We’re not that different, you and me. I’m utterly unavailable for anything other than casual sex. So are you. Let’s enjoy it for what it is. Eight cities. Eight weekends of sheer carnal pleasure.’
‘What about Sasha? And Ryan? And the tour?’
‘Sasha and Ryan are too wrapped up in each other to notice a damn thing and thanks to your hard work, the tour is better organised than a military operation. Relax. Now is the time to sit back and enjoy.’
Again, a hint of vulnerability flashes through her normally guarded eyes. ‘Do you think it’ll go ok? Is everything under control? I’ve never dealt with anything as big before.’
‘Everything is under control. As much as it kills me to admit this, you’ve done a stellar job. Now, there are bigger things to deal with.’ I nudge my cock against her and she lets out a groan.
‘Are we really doing this?’
‘We’re doing this. I’ll make it worth your while. Did you compile the bucket list?’
‘Bucket list?’
‘The fantasies.’
I want to know every dirty little perversion that goes on inside her pretty head, although if I were to shag her vanilla for the rest of my life, the way I feel right now, it would be more than enough.
She swallows thickly, as if she’s contemplating.
I need this thing to burn itself out properly, because if last night was anything to go by, we’re nowhere near done yet.
Her eyes bore into mine with an intensity that sends shivers rippling across my spine. When her legs part a fraction, I get the answer I’m looking for.
‘This stays between you and me. The last thing I want is for the world to think I only got this job because I’m shagging Ryan’s agent.’
‘Yes, ma’am.’ I salute her, grateful she’s finally stopped fighting this thing between us.
‘This ends when the tour ends. And don’t even think about falling in love with me. Do we have a deal?’
‘We most certainly do. I always find our deals to be so rewarding. I can’t wait to hear what’s on your list.’
She taps her temple. ‘It’s all up here. Nothing too wild or kinky, but there are some things I’ve wanted to try that you can’t just blurt out to a stranger on the first night…’
I dig my fingers into her hips, gripping her in case she tries to wriggle out of this intriguing conversation. ‘Tell me more…’
‘Well, you can already tick off dirty talk. Your filthy mouth is one of your most redeeming qualities.’ She shifts against me, her silky skin sliding against mine.
‘Is that right?’ I love how she’s so sexually forward. ‘In that case, ride my cock like a good girl until you come all over it.’
I press my hardness against her like bait and she slides on, assuming control this time, although, when we’re together like this, I don’t think either of us is in control.

The Sydney Opera House is wedged with women shrieking my brother’s name at an octave that’s beyond uncomfortable. The atmosphere’s electric as he belts out a new song from his latest multi-platinum selling album. The song’s entirely inspired by his relationship with Sasha. Nothing new there, though. The man has been in love with her since he was eighteen years old.
The production is out of this world. Chloe and her team came up with the idea of recreating the Sydney landmarks on stage, constructing them with layer upon layer of shiny silver records. Light reflects in every direction, bright silver beams projecting over Ryan and the crowd. It emits total class while incorporating the personalised themes we discussed.
And when the original artist I’d lined up got laryngitis at the last minute, Chloe somehow persuaded one of Australia’s biggest rock stars to come out of retirement for one night only for the duet we’d planned.
All in all, Ryan appointing her was a good call.
A very good call.
Thanks to social media, the entire world will have seen this set by tomorrow morning. Chloe’s name will be associated with it. And a very select percentage will experience the epic wrap party she’s planning, scheduled for after the last concert in London.
That will undoubtably give her what she truly wants, access to the world’s hottest stars and the opportunity to show them what she’s capable of organising, given the chance.
