Chapter 43: Bid Proposal [R18]

Chapter 43: Bid Proposal [R18]

Rino lay on his bed, staring blankly at the ceiling as if it were going to answer his worries. The glow from his Samsung lying beside him was the only light in the room now.

Everyone had signed out of the call already, but he remained online for a while, swimming in reflection.

And then, the thought crept into his mind.

Amaka.

He remembered the business card she had handed the other day. It spoke more than enough for someone like Amaka, the cold call.

He didn’t expect her to have an acquisition as the one he had seen in the card, but well, like he had expected, she might be introvertive... but, he wanted to be sure she was not innocent.

She owned estates. Not managed—owned.

And to the much Rino knew about estate owners, they most of the time soil their hands to acquire a certain property.

Soiling their hands doesn’t necessarily mean they have to be involved in the eradication of someone’s life. Amaka was a girl, so, she could have soiled her hands.

Girls had what men needed most of the time.

Jumping back to the topic of which he thought about Amaka, he knew that if there was anyone who was surrounded by lawyers and professionals who understood how to make official documents feel like gold, it was her.

Kasper was another person, he looked like one. But Rino believed girls offered their services to their very best, but that is when they agreed to.

He sat up quickly and reached for his phone. Collecting Amaka’s number from their group, he sent her a simple message:

"Call me when you see this message."

He knew it was late, but he hoped Amaka hadn’t dozed off yet.

***

Meanwhile...

Amaka was very much not asleep.

She was stretched out lazily in her oversized bathtub, her head resting on a rolled towel at the edge, with her eyes closed in thought.

The lights that illuminated the place were dim, and a few candles flickered against the marble walls of her bathroom.

Earlier, while they were on call, something Zaria said had aroused her.

She had mentioned that there was a night she was with Rino, alone. And Dalia had made mention of his gigolo.

For Rino to put up and switch out of the topic only meant that Malcolm was right.

Now, this thought made her horny as she was feeling herself. She submerged herself deep into the tub, lost in the warmth of the water, and did one thing she had promised herself never to do. Again.

The hunger that had crept up in her, at this alone time, left her with no other choice but to give in.

Seductively, she moved her palm slowly down her body from her breasts, reaching for the aching need in between her legs, and gave it three soft taps.

The tingles went straight into her head, earning sharp gasps from her lips.

She moaned, thinking about his long fingers doing this rather than hers.

If only Rino was body present, she couldn’t let the thought leave her mind.

His thick voice whispering into her ears will do wonders.

Glancing at his handsome face each moment will be blissful.

The soft thuds his body will make with her ass will produce a pleasant rhythmical sound.

The imagination...

"Heck, I shouldn’t be doing this. I should really not be doing this because a stranger got me hooked," she murmured.

But he’s no longer a stranger. I can see him every day if I wish... I wonder if Dalia has also seen his gigolo for her to ask that kind of question. It should be my turn soon.

The thoughts couldn’t leave her. She cupped water from the tub in her hand, lifted it to her nose, and took a quiet sniff earning herself a whimper from her lips as her clit contracted from the jolt of pleasure that came from rubbing the free hands on it.

The pleasure ran through her spine as she let out a moan, loud enough for a whimper.

She hadn’t even moved her fingers into her cunt yet, and the imagination alone made it look like Rino was already on top of her, teasing her with his own fingers, as well as getting ready to insert his dick in her.

She couldn’t let the thought linger.

She needed a practicalized action.

So, she reached for her phone, opened her browser, then searched "Xvideos".

She was planning to log in to her account and scroll through some adult content to spice up the moment when a message popped up.

"Think of the devil," she muttered in between moaning breaths.

The message read:

~ Carter Luck: Call me if you see this message.

She had saved Rino’s number with "Carter Luck" after the incident that happened at the round table in Red Tann’s gathering.

She blinked, then smirked.

Then, dropped the phone on the space hold of the tub, and teased herself a little longer. After a slow, teasing pause, she leaned back and let the water lap gently against her skin, until she gave in and picked up her phone to contact Rino.

***

Rino was still lying on his bed, eyes wide open as he patiently waited to hear from Amaka.

He hoped to hear from her.

That was when his phone buzzed, and without wasting a second longer, he answered immediately.

"Amaka," he said, trying to keep his voice level. "Hope I didn’t wake you?"

She chuckled, "Nope. I was... relaxing," she said with a soft but playful voice.

He didn’t want to ask what kind of relaxing she meant. The way she mentioned it made it look like there was something more, but he kept his focus.

"I need a favor," he said. "A big one."

"What could the confident Rino need from me," Amaka asked.

This was where she spoke in a way that surprised Rino. This was not the girl he used to have encounter with whenever the Red Tann had a meeting.

Is it that she never acted this casually, or sounded the way she did now to other members?

He always knew her introverted nature on the outside and didn’t speak much of her inside. She wasn’t innocent, he thought.

"I need a lawyer. Someone who can prepare a proper, formal bid proposal for me. It has to be ready by tomorrow so Kasper can submit it on time."

There was a moment of silence on her end.

But Amaka responded with no hesitation. "Say no more. I’ll help. Send me whatever you’ve drafted so far tonight. I’ll send it to one of my lawyers immediately. He’ll have it ready by morning."

Rino let out a breath of relief. "Thank you. You have no idea what that means to me."

"You can meet me at the address on my card," she added. "We’ll go over it together and finalize everything before Kasper shows up."

Rino made a click sound with his tongue against his teeth, flicking his middle finger against his thumb as if Amaka was body present. "Got it. I will send the draft in the next hour."

He was about to say goodbye when—

A loud moan slipped through the line.

Well, he removed the phone from the reach of his ear and smiled.

"Let’s not be assumptive here," he soothed himself.

Still smiling, he reached into the drawer beside his bed and pulled out a notepad and a pen.

He will have to start putting together the draft which will be used to prepare the proposal for him. Having a lawyer do it would be another cost on its own.

It pained him how he was spending money as of recently, but well... let’s just say... it pains.
