The way Hayden checked my work with a serious look on his face made me feel like he was my teacher, and I was getting my work graded.
Basically, I was right. His idea of ‘charging enough’ was very different from mine. It was clear that we were operating off of different scales entirely. He was telling me to increase the price on every single quote that I’ve quoted.
“This rate is already 30-40% higher than my usual rate from before…” I mumbled in slight protest.
Wouldn’t charging the clients any higher be ripping them off?
“That was before, and this is now. Things are different,” Hayden replied casually.
“I don’t know. I feel a little bad charging them so much…” I continued to disagree.
“Come here. Sit down,” Hayden said as he pulled on my arm and indicated with his eyes for me to sit down on his lap.
“Umm…” I mumbled hesitantly.
“Just come…” Hayden said impatiently as his arms pulled me down onto his lap.
“Hayden…” I called his name softly as heat rushed to my face.
I felt his lap against my buttocks as I sat down on top of his lap. His arm automatically circled my waist to hold me in place while he held the papers in his other hand. His eyes were still reading the price quote intently as his other arm began stroking my belly lightly. He played with my body so casually as if I was a little cat on his lap.
“It’s better like this. This way we can read the papers together,” Hayden said with a satisfied chuckle.
“I’m still not sure about charging more than this…” I said softly.
“Don’t you want to make more money?” Hayden challenged as his arm tightened a little around my waist.
I mean, of course I do, but just getting commissions was already life-changing at that point.
“Well, I do but without over charging my clients…” I replied a little stubbornly.
“If they’re willing to pay for it then it shouldn’t be a problem, right?” Hayden said.
“I guess…but how much do you have in mind?” I asked curiously.
I wondered what amount Hayden had in mind. Hopefully, it wasn’t something exorbitant.
