If you let stay here tonight, I will sleep with you.%u201dShe watched his face and saw the shock on it.%u201cSorry, Mr. Tucker. I%u2019ve upset you. I thought it was something you would like. I have seen the way you look at me sometimes. And if you are spending out a lot of money and trying to save me, I want to give something you desire back. I am not a cheap woman.
