Chapter 1

.

The dim light, sweaty bodies, loud music, and the cringe sight did nothing to straighten out Sophie's anxiety. Her sweaty palm twitches once in a while and while she grabs her handbag for a mini sense of comfort it did nothing to fulfill her wishes.

She just wanted to get out, the dress she had borrowed from Kayla felt like a prison on her body. It did make her look gorgeous and Sexy but it was very uncomfortable. She couldn't even breathe. Her left eyebrow twitches now and then begging to be scratched. That is what happens whenever she puts on makeup, her face always begs her to ruin the work. It always results in a burning sensation that she hasn't managed to learn how to ignore. Kayla was perfect with the art and the girl know how to work her way with the brushes but Sophie's skin and makeup don't just mix.

“ By the time you enter that club, men will cream their pants at first sight” Kayla had said after adding the final touches to the makeup. Yes, Kayla was right, Men are indeed currently undressing her shamelessly with their eyes and it made her skin crawl at the Unwanted attention.

She is still a Virgin and new to all these sexual advances. Even with her nice curves carved into perfection with a nice Slim waist and flat tummy to boast of. With tan skin and cute freckles that dusted her face just a few inches below her green eyes. With massive unruly, curly auburn air. At age twenty-one, she never had a boyfriend. And that means never having sex either.

She watched her friends get boyfriends and talk about just how perfect their relationship was, how perfect the kisses were, and all other smutty stuff. Not to forget the butterfly feelings they get in their stomach. She never had her own stories to share which is unbelievable because she is very attractive and she has this strong gaze that will make any man kneel.

But little do they know is that Sophie Harris's only memory of what can be described as a kiss was in middle during a school picnic when the school bully, a cute boy named Jamey decided it was fun to steal her first kiss most sloppily. The kiss can be described as no kiss at all, it doesn't deserve to be her first kiss but wishes don't get granted always do they?

And the only thing close to fluttering butterfly feelings in her belly she ever felt was the mosquito bites she got on a camping trip, they had been all itchy and ticklish but felt incredibly great while scratching them.

Not that she doesn't want to date or is not attractive to men or that she prefers the other side. She is straight and can swear on anything on that but aside from her pretty looks and a great body with a nice personality every guy will describe her as a keeper. Her life was the opposite, she had grown up in abject poverty where she fed from hand to mouth every day.

It had always been hard with her parents struggling to raise them on their minimum wages. Everything got worse when her mother suddenly died of high blood pressure. Her family went downhill with one source of income gone. Sophie started working immediately even though she was still a high schooler, she had a younger brother Noah who is still in middle school and her alcoholic father doesn't help their situation either.

She had been picked on by her schoolmates for wearing faded clothes or not being able to afford lunch but she held on to her life because of Noah and her once-loving father. She avoided boys like the plague because of what Aunty Mari always said about the other gender. She could remember getting an anxiety attack because a boy told her he likes her when she was eighteen.

She studied hard so she could apply for the scholarship but she wasn't lucky enough to get one. She had to apply to the only university in her city, not her dream college but will do. Coupled with part-time jobs and all she had been surviving and able to let her brother live too. Going to college on a student loan which she will have to pay up later but everything skyrockets back to square one when her father, the once-loving Mr. Harris started gambling at the local club.

He spent all his money on alcohol after his wife's death which Sophie had to assist by working part-time but he started gambling and currently, he is owing a gang the sum of Ten thousand dollars which Sophie doesn't have and has nowhere to get.

The gang is known to be pretty ruthless when it comes to their money, they only gave Mr. Harris a month to pay up or else they massacre their, entire family. Her father had looked so ashamed when he told Sophie last week Tuesday. She had been so disappointed and frustrated that her roommate Kayla noticed instantly.

Kayla had asked her what was wrong with her Expression immediately Sophie entered the dorm. Not willing to give all the details, she just stared at the ceiling and sighed.

“ If only I can just see Ten thousand dollars as my account balance right now,” Sophie thought aloud which made Kayla chuckle and make a joke about getting a sugar daddy for Sophie. Sophie couldn't remember the joke but had grabbed the word sugar daddy. She knows what sugar daddies and sugar babies do with each other and she knows what that kind of relationship entails.

If getting a sugar daddy will sort out all her financial issues and take her out of poverty for once then she would look for one but how? And if sleeping with men old enough to be her father will get her out of this looming crisis in a way that won't affect her younger brother's life then she is in. A sugar daddy she needs and a sugar daddy she will look for.

The issue of her sexual inexperience hit her like a bucket of cold water on a winter morning. Her woman's dignity and pride shredded the mission away, She suddenly realized that she was going to be giving out her virginity to an old man that won't go gently or treat her lovingly or make her feel like a whole woman but make her feel like a lowly whore.

But anything to survive, her survival instincts kicked her bruised dignity and honor aside and she took a deep breath before deciding to go to that newly opened club just in the middle of the city just to try her luck.

It came as a surprise to Kayla when her “ I am a workaholic student who avoids social gatherings like plague” roommate suddenly want to borrow a dress to wear to a club. Kayla had wished she was hearing things when Sophie asked but apparently, she wasn't. Sophie was loud and clear, serious even.

Kayla felt so bad she couldn't tag along because of her menstrual cramps just to see how Sophie -I don't look at boys, they are not books- Harris will behave at a club but she had been eager to do the poor girls makeup and find a Sexy dress. Then proceed to lecture the club first-timer about losers that get girls drunk just to sleep with them and all the safety tips she thinks Sophie will need.

“ Don't forget to order Angel's shot if a man is acting weird” Kayla had added.

According to Kayla, ordering a shot of Angel's shot is like telling the bartender “ Help me” so Sophie made a mental note at the back of her mind if a man tried stuff on her.

Now Sophie looked around the strange place, she felt alone and uncomfortable with sweaty bodies touching her now and then. She stepped outside and almost cried out about how clueless she was about the entire situation. She doesn't even know how to approach men generally so how will she find a sugar daddy at this point?

“ Remember money needs to be made. Bills need to be paid” she chants in her mind while gulping the fresh air greedily. She took a deep breath and turned around to go back into the club but bumped into a massive wall of muscles instead.

She looks up to meet to strange man's gaze.

“ Holy guacamole” Her inner voice voiced out loud. He looked as pissed as hell but who in the effing world cares? The man looks like a model in one of Kayla's magazines. For the first time in Sophie's life, she felt a flutter in her rib cage. He cleared his throat.

“ Oh my God, I'm so sorry I eh hmmm... Sorry,” she scampers away trying so hard to hide her blush.

“ Hmmm, it's fine. You don't have to act like you saw a ghost” Even though his voice sounds like that of an Angel, it sends signals all shades of wrong to Sophie's spine.
