“Are you seriously using last night and our history to blackmail me?” I confronted Ashton directly.
“No,” he mumbled, avoiding eye contact.
Classic guilty behavior. I clenched my fists, fighting the urge to deck him.
“I’m just new here and could use some help. I’ve helped you before too,” he said meekly.
Great, now I’d feel like a jerk if I refused.
Debts were debts, whether money or favors.
I sighed. “Fine, Mr. Drake. Where to? What do you need?”
“House hunting,” he replied, throwing me off guard.

“And you still want to quit your job?” I muttered.
He ignored that, acting like he hadn’t heard.
Maybe it was pity over his broke status, but I ended up driving him downtown.
“Rent must be steep here,” he noted.
“Suburbs are cheaper but the commute’s brutal. As an engineer, you’ll probably work downtown. Living here saves time,” I explained.
He went quiet. Thinking about his empty wallet, I added, “I could loan you some money. Pay me back.
whenever.”
“Trying to be my sugar mama?” His comment made me choke.
I glared, remembering his hints about feelings for me and that marriage proposal.
Smirking, I shot back, “Dream on. I’m the one looking for a sugar daddy.”
