Liam paused for effect, his eyes meeting each of the ladies’ gazes for a moment. “They said no.” He laid his palms flat on the table. “He might look just like the actor from the show, but he has that nickname in real life because he is naturally gifted with a really big—”
Ava gasped and covered her mouth and then giggled gleefully.
Maddie looked at him with one brow raised in suspicion. “How do you know they weren’t just teasing you?” she asked as she lifted her chin defiantly.
He put his elbow on the table and set his chin in his palm. “I heard it from different people around the office; people who most likely wouldn’t be talking to each other about their bosses’ rather largely endowed anatomy, however!” Liam said with a growing smile, “I think the four of us need to put this to the test. One of us needs to go spend the night with him and then come back to report. I know he’s not gay, so I’m probably the last of us that he would play with.”
Liam looked at them. “What about you, Ava, you’re all excited about this? Do you want to give him a shot?”
She frowned slightly. “He looks just like Mr. Big on the television show?” she asked in disappointment.
“Exactly like him,” Liam answered with a sharp eye.
“I don’t like guys with dark hair.” She sighed, shaking her head. “Not my type.”
He looked over at Maddie. “What about you? Do you want to try to take on the Bull of Wall Street?”
Maddie shook her head. “Not right now; I’m spending my nights wrapped around Oliver Rothschild. Sorry darling. Maybe in a few more weeks.”
They all three looked over at Mia. Liam grinned. “You could do it…” he said in a low voice, drawing nearer to her and taking her hand in his. “You definitely could do it! You must! Oh Mia… you have to!”
Mia laughed and shook her head. “I’m not going to do that! I haven’t even heard his name yet!”
Liam squeezed her hand gently. “Alexander Daniels. He’s gorgeous, he’s rich, and we have to know if the rumors are true! You have to seduce him and come back to tell us if he’s as big as everyone says he is! God knows I’d be glad to do it for all of us, but he is playing on the wrong team for me.”
Mia shook her head, wondering when all of their morals had completely escaped them. “I just don’t think I’m into it this time,” she sighed with a smile. “Sorry my dears.”
Ava pouted and laid a hand on her shoulder. “You have to! You’re the only one who can, and I love that show and you just have to go find out for us! Please!” she blinked at Mia with wide eyes and a hopeful pout.
Maddie leaned over the table. “I’ve heard of him. He’s supposed to be one of the biggest new power players in the city. You really should go try for him. Don’t pass this one up!” she grinned as excitement began to take her over.
Mia looked around at all of them. “Are you serious? All three of you are after me to do this?”
Liam shrugged. “Well, none of us can do it. Listen,” he looked at her intently, “what if I sweeten the deal? What if I give you a round trip airplane ticket to Rome if you can come back with the goods on Alexander Daniels? Would you do it then? Come on… it’s Rome!”
Maddie grinned excitedly. “I’ll chip in for the ticket as well,” she offered and Liam winked at her.
“Me too! I’ll chip in and we’ll make it first class! Come on! Just go spend one night with him and see if it’s true! I have to know! Do it!” she pleaded and begged.
Mia shook her head and took a long last drink from her glass before setting it back down on the table. “You’re terrible,” she told them all as she looked at each of them.
Liam’s eyes were locked on her. “Accept the challenge! Do it!” he pressed.
The other two ladies nodded enthusiastically. “Do it!” they added.
Mia sighed and rolled her eyes, leaning back in her chair slightly. “God you guys are terrible….” She considered the challenge and the reward. “It’s a first class round trip ticket to Rome, though, and I do love Rome.”
All three of her friends looked at her with wide eyes, sitting at the edge of their seats. Mia’s gaze went from one to the other of them around the table.
“Oh all right. Fine. I’ll do it,” she said with a sigh, and all three of them cheered. “But I want a really nice first class seat and a hotel in Rome when I get there.”
Liam nodded. “You got it, baby. One first class seat and a hotel, as soon as you spend the night with Mr. Big and then come back to tell us just how big the man really is.”
