"This older guy," Tina wanted to know. "You call him daddy?"
"No, never," Niamh laughed. "But I always tell him how much I love older men."
"So you do everything with him?"
"Well, not everything. He wants to try anal. Cos his wife won't let him."
"Ewww. That's gross."
"Yeah, I know," laughed Niamh. "I let him cream on my face instead. His wife doesn't do that either."
Tina was shocked -- by the idea that Niamh was sleeping with a married man and the fact she was so casual about him ejaculating on her face.
"So that's why he buys you all that jewelry?" Tina asked.
"Rob doesn't buy me much jewelry. But he pays me double when I miss a shift at work to let him fuck me."
Tina saw that her friend felt no dilemma at trading sex with an older man for expensive gifts. She herself had no real desire to trade sex for goodies. There was no disputing that Mr Stevens treated her well. She was captivated by his good looks, his greying beard, and his warm personality. Her boyfriend was becoming less of a block. She had been trying to ignore the inevitable. Mr Stevens' intentions were clear and Tina knew she'd already surrendered to him.
She could not bring herself to mention the expensive dresses the older man had paid for. His message had asked her to go to a particular store, not far from her city campus. Tina knew the reputation of that store, how pricey the clothes were. She'd gone anyway after receiving another message from Mr Stevens -- she should choose the best two dresses she could find. It turned out that he'd already given the details of his card to the shop assistant.
Tina had walked out with two lovely and expensive dresses. The kind she could never afford as a post-grad who worked part-time. Her mother would not recognize the brand but Tina already knew she'd have to keep her new clothes secret from Niamh. She still had no intention of entering any sugar daddy arrangement but she was learning why her friend had kept the secrets of her lifestyle.
********************
Greg Stevens had never discussed any sort of arrangement with Tina. He'd not been back to any of those sugar daddy sites. The money he'd spent on the twenty-three year-old so far had been merely an indulgence. He could well afford it. And he had a good feeling about Tina - she was studious and career-minded and it felt good to support a young, up and coming woman. He'd had no thought about swapping gifts for sex.
That was what he told himself when he was busy at work and trying not to think about Tina. Thoughts of the young Vietnamese woman were terribly distracting. But Greg didn't think he should act on such thoughts. He was not the type to take advantage of a younger woman. In fact, he cherished women and always wished to respect their wants and needs. He'd always been passive as a lover. It had annoyed his last girlfriend. It had also frustrated Greg since he had many kinky desires and many sex acts he'd never enjoyed.
He tried to push all that from his mind when he opened his apartment door to the sexy young Tina.
"Thank you for the wonderful gifts, Mr Stevens," she said as he fetched a drink. "You shouldn't spend so much on me."
"You're worth it," he replied.
