Elevator Pitch

by Evelyn Leigh

I’m a people pleaser in recovery. We prioritize everyone else’s happiness, even strangers who don’t mean anything to us. It’s just in our nature. Externally, I’m too fucking nice. Internally, I’m a badass like the women in my family. I struggle with displaying both sides in a way that is healthy for me.

Whew

When I attended my ex-wife’s engagement party, I hadn’t expected to learn that she met her fiancé, Daniel, on the dating app I founded.

Nopeeeee

“Listen, ma’am. I don’t have anywhere to be, but if you’re going to keep eye fucking me…I’d appreciate it if you’d ask me my name.”

Oooop

“My name is Greyson, but you can call me Grey if you’re nasty,” he adds with a disarming smile.

Oooooop

“See you around, Selah. I hope to hear you calling me Grey sometime soon.”

Not tryna be nasty

Reading romance is amazing, but eventually, you start to wonder if your main character moment will ever come along. I can’t be the only one who feels that way.

Happens

Scared if I moved too much, it would bite me. So, he stills while he’s inside me and says, ‘Oh, that’s just my pet rat, Martell.’”

Absolutely Not and he didnt pull out

Clifford’s been a pretty good wingman today, and what were the odds of that? Now she’ll be looking for me, and I won’t be hard to find. See you soon, Selah.

Shouldve checked which door

“Hell, if I know. I just own the building. Avery’s more involved with this property than I am, but the property manager’s name is Harlan.”

Oh shit

So, she’s bashful yet watches me eat as if she imagines something else on my tongue.

Oh nasty

I feel like I’m ovulating right now and it’s not a good time.

Get his number lol

I’m taken aback when he assures me that if I need anything, I can call on him. I’d say he meant it in a literal sense when he pulls out his phone and suggests we exchange numbers but then repeats himself and puts extra emphasis on ‘anything.’

Exactly

I listen intently. I’ve never had the pleasure of hearing anyone’s brutally honest opinions about the app.

Oooop not her trashing his app. Id make an acct and match with her

“Fun fact. I created the app and founded the company. I don’t just have a job, but I’m an employer. Ain’t that some shit?” I add with a smile.

Lmao he nice

“What a great Dog Daddy you are.” I stiffen, and my throat bobs at the word ‘Daddy’ coming from her lips.

Not in heat

“You want to buy me smut books?” “Yes.” “Paperback or hardcover?” “Anything you fucking want.”

See now id have to fuck

How will I survive the date if everything he’s doing has me ready to bite a pillow and scream?

Do it lol

“I knew you had something on there that wasn’t nasty. You know nasty doesn’t bother me,” he adds with a wink.

Throwing the reel

“Remember, I’m a call away if you need anything,” he says, flashing a smile as he walks backward. He’s diabolical.

Anythingggggggg

You know how we’re taught as little girls that when a boy is mean to you, he likes you? Well, that’s dangerous for many reasons because we aren’t teaching them to be kind, and us girls learn to accept whatever crumbs they give us. We’re easily impressed by the bare minimum, and them being mean isn’t a dealbreaker if you’re conditioned like many of us are.

Exactly. Absolutely not

I’ve read a few romances she’s recommended, and I think this is what they call a slow burn. I can wait. The fire will be rewarding.

Ooooop

Now we wait. Should be any minute now. I tap my feet in anticipation. My phone dings twice. Two separate threads from them both. Elena Elena Um, Grey? You there? Alex Alex You motherfucker. Looks like they’ve matched. Have fun, kids.

He didnt even have to hack it

I’m going to find out exactly what Selah wants from me and give it to her.

Dick

I gleam from the praise and shudder at the fullness.

Praise kink? Omg text him

“Hmm. Are you sure you finished brushing your teeth? If you didn’t, I’m certain I could provide some assistance.” He does air quotes around brushing your teeth and gives me a knowing look.

Lmao she cant lie

“I came bearing gifts and truthfully, if I knew that’s what you were doing on the other side of this door...it sounds to me like you summoned the right man for the job.”

Ooop

“I’m not cocky. I am confident in my abilities to please a woman. If you’re interested in learning more about my capabilities—and before you disagree—it seems you’re in the market for them,” he adds with a nod to the list.

Oh bde

“I know you’re dating, and there may be other worthy candidates. I’d like to request a trial run or…a taste test to prove myself?” It’s safe to say the golden retriever has left the building. He stares expectantly, and I nod assuredly. “When can I have a taste, Selah?”

Taste test

“I am your guest. Be a good host. I know you have a tendency to be rude, but now is not the time.”

Oop be quiet girl

“Ask me if you can come, Selah.” Boy bye. He must be joking. I roll my eyes, bucking against him as I chase my pleasure, and he stills his hand. I was so fucking close.

Oh hell no

“You still refuse to call me Grey and until you admit that you’re a dirty fucking girl. My dirty fucking girl, you won’t.”

Oooooo

As I return to my height he says, “You think that sample of you would fulfill a man like me? I need more. Bend over that counter for me, baby.”

Oh shit

He repeats on the other cheek before leaving a soft kiss to soothe the sting. Lowering himself behind me, he inches closer to my core and blows on my pussy. With one long swipe between my folds, he uses his tongue to part my lips and twirl around the sensitive bud. I cry out instantly.

Its like 9am

Then again, I haven’t had many partners, and if sex is supposed to be anything like what Greyson did to me, then I’m convinced I haven’t fucked anyone before him, and I’d like to be compensated for my wasted time.

The other times didnt count

When you wouldn’t let me come. Why did you do that? And why did it feel better once I did? Smell Good Man Oh, that. Edging. That’s the whole point, baby.

Horrible

“Not really a question, but I think I understand what you mean. I’m a pleasure dom. I focus on my partner’s pleasure, often to the point of exhaustion. That gets me off.”

A people pleaser

“Baking keeps me from harming people.”

Hahahaha

“You had that woman spread on this very countertop and you’re concerned you’re moving too fast by asking her to be your date to a wedding? Honey, y’all are way past that.”

Lmaoooooooo

“Sure, Daddy,” I joke. He leans in, his tone gravelly. “Call me ‘Daddy’ again and I’ll make sure you scream it all night.”

Oooop date canceled

The stupid thing would be to go down there and cause a scene because she should be with me. See what I mean? Absolutely fucking stupid and nothing like me. I have been reading too many of her romance books and the lines between reality and fiction have obviously been crossed.

Pop up!!!

It was wrong to send her off with wet panties, but she shouldn’t be on a date anyway. If she wants a date, she should be on one with me.

Exactly tf she think this is

“So, there’s still a lot that I don’t know about you, but I came here tonight with the intention of sleeping with you.”

Okayyyy Selah

“I don’t think you came here to sleep, baby,” I tease. “Fine. I came here with the intention of fucking you.” She draws out the word while holding eye contact. There she is. My dirty girl.

Get itttt

“You feel amazing. Fuck.” His fingers dig into my hips as he pulls out all the way to the crown. “You have plans tomorrow, Selah?” I shake my head, unsure of why he’s asking that now. “Good. ‘Cause you’re about to be up all night.” My eyes widen as he ruts into me. Hard.

Damn

Followed by a picture of her laying in bed wearing my shirt with toothbrush emojis.

Oooo

“What are you doing here?” “I can’t spank you through the phone, so here I am,” I add playfully.

He do live upstairs

Note to self: Order silk pillowcases and a bonnet for her to keep here.

Okay Grey

“You’re really nasty in the morning.”

He is tho

“Since we’re being honest, she said she saw you kissing your neighbor.” I exhale, “When did she say this?” “She texted me after we left,” he says matter-of-factly. “Of course she did,” I chuckle.

She didnt waste no time lol

The north to my south, an undeniable attraction.

Awww
