I scheduled my tutoring session with Liam for the evening.
I specifically took a shower beforehand.
My hair was half-wet, draped over my shoulders.
I changed into a silk slip dress.
Liam rang the doorbell right on time.
"Good evening, Liam."
His gaze slid off me instantly. He followed my housekeeper straight into the study.
"Liam, I don't know this word," I pushed my notebook toward him. "Can you translate it for me?"
"Sensitive. It means easily affected or emotionally reactive."
"Oh."
I rested my chin on my hand, poking his elbow with the tip of my pen as I continued:
"What about this one?"
"Seduce. To entice or tempt."
I swung my legs, my toes "accidentally" brushing lightly against his calf.
"How do you say 'moth to a flame'?"
"Like a moth to a flame!!!"
He violently yanked his leg back, leaning so far backward he almost tipped his chair over.
"Chloe, sit properly."
I completely ignored him and pulled my chair even closer.
"I can hear you better this way."
"Chloe," his tone was dead serious, "do you know... this is very dangerous."
"How dangerous?" I feigned innocence. "More dangerous than Calculus and the LSATs?"
He stared at me, then suddenly reached out, grabbed his jacket off the back of his chair, and threw it directly over my head...
"Put it on."
I sat there, stunned inside his jacket for two seconds. It smelled like his clean laundry detergent.
"Liam, you're so mean."
He ignored me and continued writing out the math equations.
Watching him sit there—refusing to play the victim, refusing to sell his body, purely selling his brainpower—I suddenly felt a wave of dizziness.
...What is going on here?
I'm the one paying him!
Why does it feel like I'm the one who doesn't dare step out of line?
My desperate attempt to seduce him just now didn't look like a sugar mommy...
It looked like... a sugar baby!!!
Chloe, what the hell is wrong with you?!
In this life, you're supposed to be the one holding the purse strings!
