You want me? My face went hot. Dean immediately scratched his head. I mean, you can have my... His what? That muscular, hot body?

I lost in my girlfriend-to-be fantasy and smiled shyly. Okay. I had moved in to get him after all, but the next second, he handed me a debit card with both hands. Then take this. You can manage my money. About ten grand goes in every month.

Every hot guy I'd dated before had liked my money. A guy giving me money, that was a first. Guilt hit me. Plumbing pays well if they work hard. I gathered my courage. I can't take your money for nothing. I'll be your girlfriend.

This time, Dean froze. But a rough guy was still a rough guy. He went straight for it. Sure. I'm single anyway. And just like that, I got him. Dean and I started living like a real couple.
