ดูเพิ่มเติมEdwin's POV
"Yeah, baby, just like that keep going, fuck me harder," she moaned loudly, her fingers clutching the edge of the sink, "that's the spot, yeah, right there."
I grimaced as I watched sweat bead down her arched back. Why did she keep calling me "baby"?
"Oh God, I’m about to blow…"
Finally,
"Yes, baby, yes don’t stop.."
Her whole body tensed, her moans turning into desperate whimpers. Her hips jerked erratically, and I decided to push her harder, faster. Her voice grew raw, uninformed of my name, so in a broken, awkward voice, she screamed,
"Come on, bartender…fuck me even harder!"
A loud cry tore from her throat as she climaxed, spilling her release all over me. I slowly withdrew, disgust curling in my stomach at the sight of the creamy mess splattered on my skin and hips. I backed away, grabbing a tissue to clean myself.
She turned around, flashing a grin as I zipped up my trousers and buckled my belt.
"Tuck, boy," she chuckled, "That dick of yours is fire. You almost wrecked my pussy with it. Nearly an hour, huh?"
"That’ll be three hundred dollars," I said, voice cold.
Sha gasped, eyes wide with surprise. "Damn, boy. Looks like you’re not much for small talk, huh? Just do your thing and walk away, huh?"
I glanced at the door impatiently. "I gotta get back to the bar. This is the restroom anyone could walk in. Can I get my money?"
She reached into her purse, retrieved the bills, and handed them over. I slipped the cash into my pocket and headed for the door.
"Next time, I’ll make you suck my pussy longer, cutie," she called after me.
My stomach twisted at her words. I muttered to myself, "Next time." The familiar wave of self-loathing washed over me again.
How long would I have to keep doing this? Since dropping out of college, I hadn’t done anything else. My mother was still sick at home. That was the only thing worse than this life. Going back to her, knowing I was barely scraping by, tore me apart.
Then there was Ruby. My little sister, someone I’d always looked after through high school. Working at the bar was never enough to support us, but when my manager mentioned this "side hustle," I leapt at it. That was about six months ago.
Now, I’d lost count of how many women I’d been with. Ridiculous.
"Yo, Edwin," Mark’s voice came from behind, with his arm draped over my shoulder.
He’s my manager a man in his mid-forties who always tried to justify pushing his clients onto me:
“I’ve lost my mojo, kid. These women need more energy, you get me?”
That was BS. Mark only fucked the wealthy women wives of politicians and businessmen those whose husbands were too preoccupied to care. He had a penthouse for them upstairs. The less fortunate women and most of the men he handed off to me.
There was a hotel nearby, its receptionist used to be familiar with my visits.
"Hey, Edwin," she’d say, with a slight smirk.
That changed the night I fucked her in a broken-down cab on our way home. Now she called me “monster dick” not that I cared, but she wouldn’t stop teasing me.
Other clients loved risky spots asking me to fuck them in bathroom stalls or the VIP lounge, which was always thick with cigarette smoke and haze. Mostly women in their mid-thirties craving that reckless thrill of youthful rebellion.
Honestly, I was sick of it all. But what I earned in a night at the bar easily paid for the nightmares I endured.
"You were standing here the entire time?" I asked Mark.
He grinned mischievously. "You’re a real freak, huh?"
"Are you kidding? She was singing like a canary the whole time. Had to keep people from walking in on us," he said, then nudged me. "So, how much did you make?"
"Two hundred dollars."
He held out his hand. I hesitated, then shoved the money into his palm. He snatched a fifty-dollar bill and chuckled.
"Good job, kid," he said, patting my shoulder, then walked away.
The rest of the night, I stood behind the bar, serving drinks and avoiding eye contact with any woman who looked my way. I couldn’t wait to get out of there once Mark gave the signal.
I hurried home on a rickety bike, my mind drifting blank along the ride.
Sneaking into my mother’s room, I kept the lights off so as not to wake her. She was deep in sleep. I kissed her forehead gently, then tiptoed upstairs to my room.
I collapsed onto the bed, staring at the ceiling. After a deep breath, I dragged myself up and headed toward the bathroom. But then I noticed movement behind the curtains.
I froze. A pair of tiny feet peeked out from underneath.
"Ruby. What are you doing there?" I asked, voice low.
She hesitated before stepping out, clutching something in her hand. My eyes widened instantly. I looked at my wardrobe open and saw what she was holding: one of my biggest dildos.
Her face was filled with shock, and before I could speak, she asked in a trembling voice,
"Are you a sex worker, Edwin?"
Edwin’s POVThe hotel suite smelled like rain and cedarwood and the faint metallic edge of desperation that always clung to Daniel when he was trying not to fall apart.I stood in the doorway for a long moment after the elevator doors closed behind me, keycard still warm in my palm from the front desk. The room was dim , only the bedside lamps on and the city lights bleeding through the floor-to-ceiling windows, painting long silver stripes across the dark carpet and the wide king bed. No overhead lights. No staff. Just the two of us and the quiet hum of the storm outside.Daniel was already there.He stood at the window wall, back to me, hands in the pockets of his dark trousers, shoulders tight under the white dress shirt. He hadn’t changed out of the suit he’d worn to the last emergency board call. His tie was gone, top button open, hair slightly messy like he’d run his hands through it too many times. He looked exhausted. Haunted. Like the man who had held me through Mom’s funeral
Edwin's POV The decision to leave the family apartment didn't come lightly.I had stood in the doorway of my bedroom for nearly twenty minutes before I even reached for the duffel bag on the top shelf of the closet , the battered olive-green one I'd used for weekend trips and forgotten about for years. Pulling it down felt like an admission, and I wasn't sure I was ready for that. But my hands moved anyway, as though some quieter, braver part of me had already made the decision and was simply waiting for the rest of me to catch up.As I packed, I felt a strange mixture of relief and dread moving through me in slow alternating waves. The silence in the apartment was deafening , no more shouting, no more accusations, no more of Victor's voice cutting through the rooms like something designed to wound. No more stifling tension pressing against my chest like a heavy weight I'd grown so accustomed to carrying that I'd stopped noticing it was there. But the silence also felt hollow, emptie
Edwin's POV The tension in the room was so thick I could barely breathe. Every second stretched into something unbearable, and I stood frozen, the chaos of it all swirling around me like a storm I couldn't outrun. Voices rose, sharp and heated, bouncing off the sterile walls, but the words kept blurring in my mind. My heart was pounding so hard it hurt, each beat a reminder of how close to the edge everything had come.It had started with something small. It always did.Victor's voice cut through the noise first, venomous and terrifyingly steady. "You're just playing me. You think I don't know what you're hiding?"I clenched my fists at my sides, my knuckles going white. I had told myself I was prepared for this. I had rehearsed it in my head a hundred times, what I would say, how I would hold myself together. But standing here now, with his eyes on me like that, none of my preparation meant anything."You don't know what you're talking about," I said. My voice came out smaller than
Daniel's POV The weight of the secret pressed heavily on my chest as I sat alone in my apartment, staring at the blinking cursor on my phone screen. I had just left Victor’s office an hour ago, and my mind was racing in every direction. The truth was out now, more than just a whisper or a guarded secret. Victor had everything: Edwin’s full sex-work history, every detail, every client, every transaction. And he had used it to manipulate, to threaten, to control.But what haunted me most wasn’t just the fact that he knew. It was that I’d kept silent all this time. That I’d known from the very beginning, and I hadn’t told Edwin. I’d buried the knowledge deep, pretending it didn’t matter, convincing myself that it was better to keep the peace, to protect him from the fallout. But now, knowing what Victor could do, what he was capable of, I realized I’d been a coward.I stared at the screen, my fingers trembling as I debated whether I should call Edwin or go straight to him. Instead, I to
Edwin’s POVThe London trip had felt like a bubble , a brief, suspended moment where the world outside the jet and the hotel suite didn’t exist. Daniel had fucked me slow and deep in the private bedroom, whispering "I love you" against my skin like it was the only truth left. I’d cried in his arms
Edwin’s POVThe jet’s engines hummed steadily beneath us as we began our descent into London. The private bedroom at the back of the cabin still carried the faint scent of sweat, lube, and the unmistakable musk of sex. The sheets were rumpled, the pillows askew, and my body still ached in the best
Edwin’s POVThe private jet was quieter than I expected.Not silent , the engines hummed steadily beneath us , but the cabin felt sealed off from the world, a bubble of leather seats, dark wood paneling, and soft lighting that made everything feel intimate and removed. We were somewhere over the At
Daniel's POVI stood alone in the dim glow of the city lights, the skyline stretching out before me like a jagged scar across the darkness. The room was silent save for the distant hum of traffic below, but inside, my mind was roaring with turmoil. I had everything I thought I wanted, power, contro
