DESTINY
Things like this did not happen to me. I mean, did they happen to anyone? Thoughts like that plagued me the entire ride to his hotel.
I mean, did big, sexy, rich men—he didn’t have to tell me he was rich, the suit, car, bodyguard, and penthouse kind of gave it away—who looked like gods often swoop chubby little waitresses off their feet, kiss them senseless, and carry them back to their lair to have their wicked way with them?
Snort. Okay, so I’m a dork, but whatever.
Besides, I wasn’t wrong. I was pretty sure stuff like that was reserved for romance novels only. It certainly never happened to me.
I was a simple person. Not in the sense that I was dumb. Far from it. Degrees didn’t equal brains, but I was proud I’d earned a BA in English Literature from an online university.
I worked hard and was currently enrolled in three graduate classes, all virtual. They were the only kind I could take with my work schedule. But I’d been a bookworm since forever.
