Chapter 33

he wouldnt be with anyone else while our deal lasted .

I walked down the line , one by one , as they parted their robes to show me their assets .

All flawless , with perfect curves everything a male could want , I suppose .

I didnt even know his true preferences , so I just picked three , and honestly , they were the least attractive ones .
