It's going to be a long night.

"That will be it then thank you." - says an older caucasian man with dark eyes and a longer but pretty unkempt beard as I finish writing down his order on a piece of paper.

"Okay all set then, if you need anything else just call and I'll provide you with anything you need, my good sir." - I say with a smile as I turn around and start walking towards the tavern counter, my smile immediately disappears turning into a neutral but rather displeased expression that fills my face, as the stress from the fact that my rent is due in less than a week and I have nowhere near the amount I need to pay it off starts taking over my mind.

I'm working 3 jobs dude, how did this happen, why does this shit always happen, is always payments coming late, unexpected random shit that happens, or whatever and when it comes to the end of the month I barely have any money to eat, and this time it is really fucking serious, I'll have to start contacting clients or something I'll have to-

My thoughts are interrupted as I bump into what I rapidly realized was a person.

"O-oh, I'm so, so sorry, I was distracted, I didn't mean to-"

"Erhos?" - the voice of the person I just bumped into asks, interrupting my thoughts and calling my attention to look up and see who it was that had recognized me, apparently.

A person in their late-thirties wearing an expensive-looking suit with a golden necklace on display around their neck, medium brown hair and ocean blue eyes look at me, and I recognize that face immediately... Oh boy.

"O-oh? Tallos? Wow, it's been a while haha, I'm so sorry that the first time we see each other after what... Uhm... 4-5 months was like this...haha...ha..." - I very awkwardly reply, my mind is all over the place, I can't deal with this right now dude come on.

This man had been a regular client of mine for some good months until some time ago, that was when I decided to move out to the city I'm currently working in because... Well, I saw that he was starting to show a certain kind of special affection towards me, that I know way too well, and do not want to deal with any time soon... But I guess the universe loves to get me in more and more trouble... I guess.

They help me up extending their hand towards me which I respectfully accept with a fake smile.

"I've been looking all over the place for you! I had already started to give up but apparently coming to this tavern for a drink was the best idea I ever had!" - they exclaim, stroking my shoulder affectionally, which a try to respectfully move away from.

"Yeah haha... But I really need to get back into work, and my shift doesn't need until way later tonight and I'm in a pretty rough spot money-wise right now so I really cannot stop working to chat with you so uhm." - fuck, fuck, fuck, fuck I fucking overshared, stupid fucking idiot, my head is so all over the place I can't fucking do this right now. - "S-so yeh... If you excuse me..." - I try to pass by them, but they apparently have other plans as they block my path with their body, standing taller than me, and push my chin up with a finger to look at them, which I was trying to avoid at all costs.

"I don't think that that will be necessary my sweet prince, now that finally found you you're not getting away from my mighty grasp." - they announce in a flirtatious voice.

"Look Tal I really-"

"How much are they paying you darling?" - they interrupt me to ask, letting go of my chin.

"U-uh? Oh about 2000 berries per day or so." - I answer, not giving much thought to it, just wanting to get this encounter over with.

They lean close to my ear, causing my body to flinch.

"What if I pay you 200000 to spend the night with me?~" - they whisper provocatively.

My mind stops for a moment, 200 fucking thousand berries for a night, that would solve all my problems for the month and would make my life way easier for at least some other months, that's so much this fucking rich-... But I can't, it is against what I stand for, what I agreed on with myself, it's over once they catch feelings... I-I have to..

"I can even double it if you bring that fishnet shoulder piece outfit you know I love.~" - they interrupt my train of thoughts, continuing with their offer, after realizing my momentary silence.

After a moment of silence, they start pulling away, seemingly defeated, seeing that I wasn't answering.

...fuck I have to...

I put my hand tenderly on their face, guiding them closer to me once again.

"For you? Of course, I will, I'll do anything, your majesty.~" - I answer back in a flirtatious tone, stroking softly their cheek with my finger.

They smile victoriously and processed to take my hand and gently kiss it.

"Meet me outside this tavern in 1 hour, I know a great place that we can go to." - they say, letting go of my hand. - "And be sure you are ready, it's gonna be a long night." - they announce with suggestive tone and a wink, as they start making their way to the door.

I'm such a fucking sell-out.

I don't wanna do this.

Why the actual fuck did I agree to this.

This is so fucking dumb I'm so fucking stupid.

I can't fucking believe myself.

...

...

It's just a night, a night to solve all my monetary problems for a while, it's a gonna deal, great even, I couldn't just ignore it, I have to pay rent this month or my reputation on this town will go to shit.

sigh

It's just one night.

---------------------------

After about 50 minutes or so I'm making my way back to the tavern, a big fluffy coat covering up the rather suggestive outfit that I was asked to bring with me and that I'm wearing underneath as I walk.

I see their distinct figure from farther away and take a deep breath and put on my best smile, just as we are about to reach a glance distance.

"So shall we?" - they ask, putting an arm out so I could grab onto them, which I obediently do looking at them.

"Yes, let's start this unforgettable night shall we?" - I answer back, trying my hardest to put on the best smile to please them because I know they love it when I smile... For some reason.

We make our way into a more expensive part of town and enter a rather fancy-looking building, that looks like and probably is a love hotel.

Tallon talks to the receptionist about their "special reservation" which the employee immediately responds to by getting up and telling us to follow her somewhere.

We pass through some more fancy-looking corridors until we reach one with a bigger and even fancier-looking door than all the other ones, which the employee opens for us. As we enter what I see is literally the most unnecessarily luxurious-looking hotel room I have ever even imagined and as the receptionist closes the room door wishing us a good stay and I am dumbfounded looking through all the aspects of that overly luxurious room, Tallos takes the opportunity to pick me up by the waist, putting me against the recently closed door, pressuring their already a bit aroused groin against my body as they start passionately kissing me as if they were absolutely famished for it, going all the way through with it as I try to keep up with their thirsty pace and they start taking of my coat, revealing the outfit they were most looking forward to seeing on me right in from of their eyes, making their stop for a moment to lick their lips, hungry for more as they throw me onto a silk pastel pink bed and go on top of me, basically panting.

"Shouldn't you go take a shower before your majesty? I know how you like to make sure everything's clean beforehand" - I ask, with a flirty tone and expression, trying to read their mood the best I can.

"And will you accompany me my prince?" - they propose as they kiss my lips softly.

"I made sure to take one before coming here and besides, wouldn't you want to be the one to take the clothes you oh so desired from my body at just the right moment, just like I know you love to do?~" - I suggest, kissing their hand softly at first and as I wait for an answer I start to make way with their index finger towards my mouth, passing it through my soft lips as I open my mouth slightly.

They take the hint to insert their finger in my mouth, feeling the warmth of my tongue and then taking it out, blushing slightly as I notice them getting more aroused.

"That would be wonderful, I think you're right, don't worry I won't be long." - they say, kissing me one last time on the lips, and then turning their back towards what I assume is the bathroom and disappearing in it.

As soon as they step out of my vision the flirtatious smile that has been on my face since the moment I saw them earlier today, fades instantly as I stare at the ceiling thinking what the hell was I doing.

sigh 

This will be a long night.
