It said: 1 message from Dan. Lexi smiled to herself, she wondered if she could possibly be dreaming or if all of this actually was happening. The message read. “Make a list of the things you need, and I will get them tomorrow when I am done seeing patients. And no Lexi you are not my hoe, you are much more than that. Hopefully you can tell that by now.”
Lexi wanted to jump up and down. She wanted to show the entire world what he had messaged her, but knew that she couldn’t. She decided that it didn’t matter. She knew that she was his and that he was hers that was all that mattered. She also knew that a long as she was his she would have a warm bed to sleep in, food to eat and clean clothes to wear.
After she ate that night she lay in the softest bed she had ever felt, and for the first time was thankful for her life. She looked over to the other side of the bed and even though it was completely empty she knew that was just how she wanted it.
She knew that Dr. Dan was perfect for her. He already had a family so he would not be expecting her to ever be a mother, he was already married so she did not have to worry about being tied down to a man only to find out he was not what he claimed to be. He had a job and would make sure that she always had the things that she needed, which meant that the money that she earned was hers.
As she drifted off to bed that night she imagined all of the things that she was going to buy with the money that she had saved. The first thing was going to be a car. She knew she had enough to buy a nice used car and then she just wanted to shop. She wanted to experience what it was like to go into a store and buy whatever she wanted.
Lexi slept better that night than she had ever in her life. She did not have to worry about someone coming up on her in her sleep and she didn’t have to listen to screaming coming from her parents. Instead, she listened to the hum of the fan that sat next to her bed.
The next morning she woke up feeling completely refreshed and ready to start a new life. She got ready for work and headed out the door. When she arrived, she walked by the woman’s bathroom and smiled, knowing that she would never have to clean herself in there again. She walked to her register and there was a small envelope with her name on it. She opened it and found a piece of paper and a prepaid card.
The paper said. “Lexi this is so you can eat when you are at work, so you can shop when you want to and so you can get what you need when I am busy. If it is ever empty, just text me and I will put more money on it. – D”
Lexi smiled to herself. She could see herself falling in love with this man. She caught herself wondering if there was a chance that she could get him to leave his wife, but quickly forced the thought out of her head. She refused to be the woman on the side that was always trying to break up someone’s marriage. No, she decided that however long this deal lasted she was going to make the best of it. She was not going to let her heart get involved and refused to be hurt, but it was time for her to finally get a break in life and she was going to take full advantage of it.
She hoped that Dan would not bring too many of his friends over, but was also excited when she thought about all of the nice gifts she would be receiving. “Sure,” she thought to herself. “Some might think what I am doing is wrong, but they never slept on a park bench before.” She knew that if others found out about her deal they would call her nothing more than a slut but she knew better. What she was doing was so that she could better her own life, so she could finally have the things that she deserved and no one would make her feel bad for doing it.
Lexi started her shift with a smile on her face and for the first time she was actually looking forward to going home that night. She had no idea what the future held for her, but she knew it had to be better than what she had in the past.

Chapter 1
Claire sighed to herself in the dark office. As she clicked away at the keyboard of her desktop, she blinked a few times, trying to focus. The digital clock at the bottom of the screen read one twenty-two a.m. and she yawned, stifling it in the crook of her elbow. Grabbing the mouse, she saved her work and signed off. She’d be back in less than seven hours, anyway.
She stood up and grabbed her purse as the light on the screen dimmed. It’d been a long day, and the case she’d been handed earlier had only proven to be a grueling mess. Luckily, the buses ran all night, or she’d have had to leave hours ago.
The December air had been brisk that morning, but as she stepped out into the night and let the door swing closed behind her, she shivered, crossing her arms in an attempt to warm herself. She’d definitely wear dress pants tomorrow, but for now she had to settle with her knee-length skirt and button-up blazer.
