Sugar baby by Mariam León (read aloud books txt) 📗

The woman places it in my hand and I just put it in my party bag.

I try to look for Thalia, but I can't find her, I can see some girls wearing the pink mask and even others holding men's arms while they talk.

I head over to the catering table and try to decide between the overpriced items. I end up having a kind of roll on my plate.

"Good evening Sam.

A man to my right waves to someone too tall.

"How are you Malcolm?

The familiar voice makes my roll remain suspended before reaching my mouth, feel the gravity and the sauce decides to fall on my dress.

"Shit!

I curse leaving in a hurry.

I go into the ladies' room and once again I freeze before the place, black and gold marble decorates the huge place, I undo the mask to wash my face a little and try to remove the sauce from my dress, thank God it's from black color

I throw away the napkin when I think it's clean but my damn black mask falls into the sink, the thing gets hopelessly wet. What am I going to do now!?

Shit if I go out like this they will propose things to me!

I look at the wet mask one more time and swear before taking the rose from my bag.

I'll just say I'm not interested. I throw the black mask in the bin and leave the bathroom ready to eat some more expensive catering, I had nothing else to do at this party.

I pounce on the catering like a glutton, trying everything that catches my eye, I'm almost at the end of the table holding some kind of heart-shaped dessert when a voice makes me freeze.

“Excellent food don't you think?

I turn in the direction of that voice and Professor Hills beautiful smile devours me.

"I, um...

“Would you like to be my escort?

He takes the dessert from my hand and then he kisses me-he smiled foolishly- It would be a pleasure to accompany you, do you accept?

"I, well... Yeah well no...", I stutter stupid "I have no idea.

He smiles once more and brings the dessert to my lips.

“You still haven't decided if this life is the right one”, he slides his gaze down my body before meeting my gaze “I would love to be your benefactor.

"Oh no I... No....

"No strings attached, just for tonight," he winks at me, "I'll just carefully explain the advantages of this life to you.

I melt when his hand circles my waist, he smells like honey and I'm captivated, after all I've liked this man since I first saw him the day I got to college.

“So... Do you know what is the main reason for wanting this LIFE?

"he whispers the words causing a shiver in me"it's not the money little one, it seems like it, but it's not like that", his hand slides a little further down my back"the pleasure, the gifts, the punishments and the rules are nothing else than the advantages.

I swallow hard when his lips are too close to mine.

"This feeling of being cared for, revered", she looks me straight in the eye - this way of living with someone who only lives for you is...

He brought his lips close to my ear.

"Exciting...

My body is on fire, this man is too charming, I like him too much and I am very, very crazy.

“I would love to be your SugarBaby... for today

What am I saying!

My mind screams, he kisses my hand once more before laughing charmingly.

“I'm going to try to make you want to be more than one night.

He leads me away from the catering table and the little butterflies in my stomach are euphoric. What am I getting myself into!
