AshDespite everything I've done for my parents, I'll never be good enough for them. Instead of seeing a man to be proud of, they just see an embarrassment. I served four tours in Afghanistan but that doesn't mean anything to them. They only see the ink, the party life, and my short stint in jail.And nothing else.When they were in trouble, I handed over my life savings. I didn't think twice about it because they're my family, my blood. They raised me to be my own man and gave me everything I needed. It didn't matter that it was every penny I had. It didn't matter that the money was set aside for my future. My dreams.Because they needed me.But now they refuse to pay me back until I become the man they think I should be.AlessandraI have an unusual professional.I escort men, acting as their date to family functions or work parties.

Get it right.There are strict rules when it comes to my profession. There is no touching, kissing, or anything but hand-holding. Those who choose not to comply will get a swift kick in the nuts.But all this goes to hell when Ash walks into my life.

Zeke is acting differently, and Ryker isn't the same either.It's the calm before the storm.I can feel it.
