Author's Note: This can be read as a stand-alone story, but it's technically a sequel to "Miss Ivy's Boy" so you might consider reading that one first if you wanna fully understand everything that's going on.

"Roy, darlin'?" Miss Ivy called, motioning for Roy to come to her when he looked up from his phone. She smiled as he pocketed his phone and hurried out from behind the counter, coming to her side.
"Yes, ma'am?" He asked, smiling at Miss Ivy and taking without question the pruning shears she held out to him.
Stepping aside, Miss Ivy motioned at one of the many ivies littering the shop. "Odessa has a brown leaf that needs tirmmin' and you know how she doesn't like me." She said, smiling as Roy stepped up instantly and easily located the leaf that needed trimming.
Snipping the leaf off easily, Roy then brushed his thumb over the spot. "Sorry about that, Odessa, but it was just a tad unsightly." He said quietly, smiling at the plant. "You look ravishing as ever now."
Laughing softly, Miss Ivy took the shears from Roy and set them on a table so she could cup his cheeks lightly. "I love it when you talk to the ladies." She said, lightly squishing her son's cheeks and smiling more when he laughed softly and blushed.
"You always said if I was nice to the ladies, they'd grow nice for me." Roy said, still smiling when Miss Ivy let his cheeks go.
Smiling warmly, Miss Ivy motioned for Roy to follow her as she picked the shears back up and continued her pruning. "I wanted to ask you somethin' real important, darlin'." She said, glancing at Roy out of the corner of her eyes.
"Alright?" Roy asked uncertainly, a light frown playing his face.
"You think Mr. Fears and Mr. Laurence are handsome, don'tcha?"
Flushing, Roy looked away, only brave enough to do it since Miss Ivy wasn't looking at him. He normally tried to keep his eyes on her face when she spoke to him because that's how she'd taught him. "Yes, ma'am." He said softly, shuffling a bit. "Is this about what I did with Mr. Laurence?" Roy asked, hoping Miss Ivy wasn't upset since it'd been a few days since the incident and she hadn't seemed upset when it happened.
"Mm-hm." Miss Ivy hummed, still pruning away but glancing at Roy occasionally to catch his reaction. He was nervous, maybe a little afraid. Good. The relief when he found out that she wasn't mad would help with getting him to agree. "Say I wanted to arrange a little date between you and Mr. Fears and Mr. Laurence." Miss Ivy started, stopping to look at Roy properly and feeling satisfied when he looked up at her obediently. "How would you feel about somethin' like that?"
"I-I think I'd like that." Roy said cautiously, shifting a bit more. "I- are you asking me if I'll sleep with them?" He peeped, not really believing it and not wanting to upset Miss Ivy if that wasn't where she was going with this.
"I am, darlin'." She confirmed, smile still just as warm as ever and tone sweet as honey.
"Oh." Roy breathed, eyes slowly widening as the idea really sank in. "Oh. I- yes." He said, rather enthusiastically before dialing it back down shyly. "I would like that alot."
Smiling broadly, Miss Ivy pulled Roy into a cushiony hug. "That's m'boy!" She said happily, giving Roy a squeeze and stroking his hair when he slowly hugged her back. "There is one little detail that I hope won't snag you up too bad."
"What is it?" Roy asked, looking up at Miss Ivy inquisitively.
"We'll be getting paid for it." Miss Ivy said, releasing Roy and watching his face with calculating eyes for a reaction.
Flushing, Roy let Miss Ivy go. "We?" He asked, not sure how to feel about this detail.
"Well of course, darlin', it's your body I'm sellin', I wouldn't feel right keepin' all the profits." Miss Ivy said, placing her hands on her hips.
"So- I'd kinda be like-"
"A prostitute, darlin'." Miss Ivy finished, tone still sweet and smile still warm. "And I would be your pimp. I'll pick out your potential clients, you'll get final say on who you fuck, and we'll split the income." When Roy still looked uncertain, Miss Ivy cupped his face and gave him her most motherly smile. "Don't think of it like all that though, darlin'. Think of it like you gettin' to sleep around with as many men as you want in the safest way possible while also makin' a little extra money to treat yourself with."
When she put it like that, it did sound pretty nice. Thinking it over, Roy nodded slowly, Miss Ivy releasing his cheeks with a pleased grin. "Okay. I- it does sound pretty fun, I guess." He admitted, smiling shyly when Miss Ivy stroked his cheek affectionately.
