    Summary

    He’s lost in wondering whether it’d be appropriate or not to ask her where exactly the sonuva bitch lives, and what barracks he’s camped in, that he doesn’t realize she’s speaking until a moment later. Until the words: “I can’t pay, but I can—I do have—I can do something else.”

     

    And then the world comes crashing down between them, blood rushing in his ears as he stares, understanding and yet unwilling to reckon with, the reality of what she’s offering. Can tell by the flush on her cheeks and the way that she’s trying not to squirm in her seat that this isn’t exactly her go-to method of payment, that it’s taking a not inconsiderable amount of courage for her to stay where she’s sitting. It’s that fact alone that keeps him from spluttering and showing her the way out.

     

    She takes his silence as compliance, it seems, because she’s scooting a little closer in her seat, honeyed eyes fixed on him as though he holds the key to her salvation.

     

    “Please. I really need my car; I need this job to work out, and I can’t do it without a vehicle.” 

     

    or, Alina's new in town, and Aleksander's Smitten.

    Summary

    Ben fucks virgins on camera.
    Rey’s a virgin.

    That’s the plot, people.

    ***

    “Just to be perfectly clear,” he rumbles next to her ear, “you do understand that even if you’re whining about something, I’ll still go on unless you say the safe word?”
    Rey hides her face in the crook of his shoulder, before nodding.
    “No, no, no, speak up.”
    “Yes,” she breathes against the skin of his neck, “I understand.”
    Ben kisses her temple and adds a little pressure over her hips again, to make sure she keeps on moving.
    “You’re gonna be good for me, aren’t you?”

    Summary

    The Uber wouldn’t be cheap at this hour. She was contemplating the subway, checking the route and schedule, when a masculine hand appeared in her peripheral vision with a tumbler of dark liquid in it.

    “The firm pays for rides home from these types of events, you know.”

    “Oh,” she said, words failing her in the face of his handsome features.“I don’t actually work for the firm. Sir.”

    “Which one of the little first years are you here with, Miss –”

    “Starkov. Alina Starkov.” She stuck her out towards him, trying to replicate the unfamiliar professional mannerisms she had seen throughout the night. The man smirked slightly, like he could tell that she was out of her depth. His handshake was firm, but not posturing. Sure and steady. His hands were surprisingly callused for a lawyer, but still smooth, and when he pulled away he dragged his fingers along her palm in a way that almost made her shiver. “I’m here with my boyfriend, Mal — Malyen Orestev.”

    Or, Alina is tired of being second best in her lackluster relationship. Aleksander wants to fix that.
