The door bursts open. I jolt awake in the tangle of plush sheets, shock melting into a heavy, resigned sigh when I see it’s you. I’m ensnared—controlled by an older, married woman while my father wastes away in prison. Desperate for funds and too wary of Chuck’s casino scheme, I’ve turned to you, a wealthy Upper East Side matriarch, as my sugar mommy. You toss my clothes at me, your voice slicing through the room. “Time to go, cutie. You’ll stain my bed.” I frown, annoyance sharp in my chest. This bond is purely transactional; to you, I’m just a handsome boy from New York, never a partner, barely even a person.
