Chapter 2

Later in the afternoon, she didn’t expect to see him again. Was she cursed at the moment? She hesitated to look him in the eyes and didn’t say anything while on the elevator. “Can you tell me what floor?” She dared to inquire when she observed that he had forgotten to punch his floor number.

“Same floor as yours, Aubrey. We are neighbors,” he replied.

“Perfect!” She answered with glee. Being his neighbor would just make it easier for him. Later, she planned to visit him, and whether he would like it or not, he would agree to her demands.

“Why?”

“A handsome neighbor is always a good opportunity, Collin, don’t you agree?”

“Oh, I see. Of course, I agree,” he answered.

“See you later, then,” she smiled before exiting the elevator, and she didn’t wait for him.

“See you later!” Collin agreed.

However, it was far from his imagination that the woman was crazy, and impossible at the same time. He had a lot of women in the past but no one could rival the talent of Aubrey Calderon! She was totally crazy!

“Help me,” she announced as soon as she entered his room.

Collin panicked after seeing the pale woman and asked why. “What’s wrong with you? Are you sick?” He inquired but the woman couldn’t respond after losing her consciousness. “Aubrey!” He screamed.

She whimpered and he panicked at the thought of being alone with an unconscious woman. Then, he helped her into his bed, to help her regain her consciousness. Slowly, Collin massaged her hand and applied a little pressure until she would be fine, and then an idea suddenly popped up into his head.

“I am sorry,” he said after applying more pressure into her, and he saw how she grimaced in pain. Collin smiled as he waited for Aubrey to open her eyes. “At long last, you’re awake!”

“I’m fine, thank you very much,” she responded kindly, and then she massaged her temple.

“Glad to hear that, Aubrey. If you are good, then how about going for coffee? There’s a commendable coffee shop in this hotel,” he suggested.

For a moment, Aubrey panicked at the thought of her plan being ruined. It took a lot of her courage just to visit him in his room, so postponing it for some other time was not an option.  Aubrey was dissatisfied with the fact that her plan contained flaws. She watched him retrieve his jacket as he was getting ready to go, and every second that passed, she was pressed to do something to advance her plan.

“I’m sorry I wasn’t able to express my gratitude,” she said in a much louder voice.

“It’s all right. Neighbors usually help each other,” he replied nonchalantly. “Come on, let’s grab some coffee,” he added, and then his eyes widened in shock when the woman started undressing. “What are you doing, Aubrey?”

“Taking off my clothes,” she replied in a calm manner.

“W-what?”

“I want to get pregnant, so please help me,” she requested in kind, but Collin Hendricks suddenly burst into laughter.

When he heard her response, his voice erupted within the hotel room, “Are you insane?” he exclaimed. “You’ve got to be kidding me!”

“Do I appear to be joking around? Unfortunately, I am not kidding right now,” she clarified.

Collin came to the conclusion that Aubrey Calderon was insane. What a shame, because the woman was stunningly attractive and sultry, and definitely his type! However, he was not in the mood for quick sex. “I am not in the mood right now, Aubrey, so let’s do it some other time,” he bargained with the woman whose figure was tempting as hell!

“It doesn’t have to be pleasant for me, Collin.” She responded in the affirmative. “I like you, and you appear to be the ideal candidate to be my child’s father,” she continued. You don’t have to worry about anything, though,” she explained while taking off the last garment on her body. After that, her blouse followed her to the ground. Aubrey was hesitant to remove her panties while he was looking at her, but she told herself that this was not the time to be bashful about it.

Collin thought that he would be unable to get away from the insane woman. What if Aubrey would force herself on him? He immediately shook his head to dismiss a ridiculous idea. “You are pretty, so why do you have to do this?” He asked but Aubrey appeared to be not listening since she continued to move her body seductively. “You don’t have to stoop that low,” but when he looked into her eyes, he saw desperation, dread, and distress.

Aubrey nodded her head in agreement because he was right. She didn’t have to stoop so low just to get pregnant. “Did I stoop so low? Other women may use subtle flirting to have you, Collin, but I am different from them, and I always prefer the direct approach.”

“I’m not saying this because I don’t like you, or I don’t find you attractive, however, I have a lot of stuff to do, and-”

“Can you tell me how much?” He was in the middle of explaining himself when she interrupted him. “Name your price, Collin,” she offered arrogantly.

Collin’s eyes widened in surprise for being treated like trash! For the first time, he experienced being treated differently, and he didn’t like it! However, didn’t he wish for it before? Anyway, he couldn’t accept the fact that a certain Aubrey Calderon acted like he was a nobody! However, he was too stunned to speak at the moment and just stared at the woman.

“So, how much do you need?” She asked again.

As the woman continued to belittle him as a man, he felt so insulted and chuckled in response. “If you think I am cheap, think again,” he informed her.

Aubrey smirked at Collin’s response and said, “Everyone has a price, Collin. Just name yours and I will be more than happy to pay you for your services,” she answered.

“How dare you!” He screamed at her for being so stubborn.

”I’m sorry,” she apologized before strutting towards him, and when he tried to distance himself from her, she gathered all of her strength to subdue him. “Please, Collin? Just once and I think it will be enough,” she begged.

“My God, woman! I have never met anyone like you before!”

“I am just desperate, so can you help me? Don’t worry, you will be compensated. I just imagine that our child would look great after combining our genes, what do you think?”

Collin gestured that she must have probably lost her marbles, but the woman just shook her head to refuse. “Why me?”

“Because you are my type, and I believe you have good genes. You know, I can see it with my eyes,” she explained.

Collin showed no signs of fear. “I’m baffled as to why you’re being forced to do this, Aubrey.” His voice was low, almost like a father trying to explain things to his daughter about how things worked.

“Don’t worry, Collin because you have nothing to lose after this,” she convinced him even more.

“What about my pride? My dignity?”

“What? Are you being serious right now?” She couldn’t believe the words coming out of his mouth. It was unbecoming for someone like Collin Hendricks!

“Yes,” he replied.

“Please? Just once,” she begged again, and the man didn’t respond. He just kept on staring at her, and suddenly, he grabbed her closer.

“Once will never be enough,” Collin whispered, and Aubrey gasped for breath.
