The Arrangement
Nathaniel sat in the fancy hotel restaurant, checking his watch intermittently. She was late, or so it felt like it. He had arrived at the restaurant early since he wanted to get there before her. Nathaniel had been waiting for twelve minutes now, so she was just two minutes late. Then again, London had a knack for busy traffic lanes and narrow streets. Hopefully the young woman would be walking in any minute now. Finally she walked in and Nathaniel looks at her in her slinky dress and smirks. She was damn gorgeous, he picked well. It took him twelve hours of scrolling through the arrangement website to find “the one”. He almost gave up, but his efforts were rewarded when she accepted his offer to meet with him.
When it came to looks he wasn’t exactly looking for a specific type, just someone he was attracted to and someone that he looked good with. Another thing, she had to be educated - or at least pursuing an education. The minute that he introduced her to his social circles would be the very second the vultures came, prying for information and ready to strike at anything they deemed unfavorable. The last condition was for her to be his new wife - well fake wife at least. She had to have the uncanny ability to lie and to lie well. Sex wasn’t something that was needed, nor any sort of physical intimacy. In short, he just needed her to look and act the part. An actress, and a damned good one at that. Hopefully she lived up to his expectations.
He adjusts his tie with a small smile and meets her halfway from the dining area. “Hello.” Nathaniel sticks his hand out for her to shake. “Its nice to finally meet you. I’m Nathaniel David.”
It had been awhile since Gwen put a new client into her roster. She usually liked to keep at least three sugar daddies in rotation at a time. That was just enough that she could give each of them the attention they so desperately craved while maintaining her studies and her expensive lifestyle. She was pretty much done with her bachelor’s degree and had already began applying to graduate programs. She currently only had two sugar daddies though and she was eager to add another one. This year she wanted to travel to multiple different countries, pay for graduate school, and continue taking care of her family. She needed to be sure she could afford everything and it was just her luck when she received the notification from her new potential client.
First meetings were always important because it’s when they would size each other up. For her, she liked to see what kind of man she was dealing with. She approached every client differently because they all didn’t want the same things. Some just wanted sex, while others genuinely wanted compassion. They wanted someone to take care of them after their demanding and stressful day of work. She was happy to accommodate them all at the right price.Â
He was more handsome than his photos gave his credit for. He had that distinguished gentleman quality to him that made her wonder why someone else hadn’t snatched him up yet. “My name is Gwen St. Patrick.” She returned his hand shake taking note of the firmness of his shake. Hmm...not a fragile older man at all. “Would you like to get straight to business or do we have time for a cocktail?” She took her seat and picked up the drink menu. “I do love a little foreplay before all the hard work starts.” She smirked at him over the top of the menu.
