Chapter 4

The moment I mentioned wanting a male escort, Mia got excited. Within half a day, several profiles landed in my hands.

My eyes immediately gravitated to Leo, the one with the cleanest vibe. It wasn't just his looks; his background was surprising - a top student from A University. How could such a brilliant guy go down this path? I raised an eyebrow and told Mia to bring him to my hotel that evening.

That night, in the Grand Hotel's Presidential Suite, I met twenty-three-year-old Leo for the first time.

He was tall, with eyes and brows even more striking than in his photo. His skin was lightly tanned, and his gaze held a hint of veiled resentment.

With years of interviewing experience, I could tell he was a textbook good student. Dressed in a shirt and slacks, he was stiff as a board, his face flushed with shame.

Too bad I wasn't feeling charitable. I was focused on getting what I wanted. I walked over and gently lifted his chin. "You're Leo, right?"

Leo mumbled a shy "M-hm."

His youthful awkwardness delighted me. He truly was gorgeous. Clear eyes, long, curling lashes, full, red lips - a pure, captivating temptation.

IMy grip on his chin tightened, forcing those deep, wary eyes to lock onto mine. “Half a million is a lot. But I like you, so I’ll pay. Whether you get all that money...well, let’s see your performance tonight."

Leo took a shaky breath. "Don't worry, I'll make sure you're satisfied."

His hands trembled violently, and he was flushed from his earlobes all the way down his neck.

When he kissed me, he was so inexperienced he bit my lip with his teeth. I couldn't help but let out a low laugh. So innocent. So pure. So utterly adorable.

I reversed our positions, pinning him beneath me, and slowly unbuttoned his shirt. "You're lucky. It's my first time hiring an escort. I don't have any strange kinks."

"I’m buying a good time to clear my head. After tonight, you'll get what you came for."

Leo let out a choked moan, his hands instinctively finding my waist...

The next morning, I woke up feeling refreshed. Leo was still asleep. I left the card on the nightstand, kissed his cheek, then got up and left.

Decisive as I was, I didn't notice the tears streaming down his face the moment the door clicked shut.
