2 MARY MAKES A MOVE

The car picked her up in the morning and brought her to a luxury building complex with fenced territory and a park inside the fence. And all that in the city center!

"Really a nice place to live," Mary thought.

His apartment was on the twelfth floor, no other doors apart from his could be seen on the landing. After Mary knocked, he opened the door and let her in. His place was huge and probably took up at least half of the building floor.

She was officially assigned one of the guestrooms and one of the bathrooms, complete independency it might seem. But who needs complete independency when you come to live with a man, and a rather hot one for that matter?

After she placed her baggage in the guestroom, she followed him to the living room where he wanted to discuss "the business". He enumerated her daily chores among which were: cleaning, laundry, cooking, washing dishes, and all other matters concerning the household. On top of that: humoring him after his working days, creating cozy atmosphere at home, and fulfilling his nightly "whims" if he would have any. For all that she would be granted a credit card which could be used for shopping, groceries, beauty salons, fitness, and all other daily needs of a woman, but not for very grand purchases. When and if she passed her probation they would discuss the separate allowance in cash which she could use however she wanted.

All that did not seem too complicated, but Mary really hated cleaning with her whole soul.

"It all sounds fine to me, but can we maybe find someone else for cleaning?" she asked.

"How so?"

"I really hate it…"

"Let's think… If you manage the last three chores properly – not the ones connected with the house – then we can discuss the return of the cleaning lady," he smiled slyly.

"Oh, I will manage it all! Just wait and see," she said and noted to herself that she would still need some help with cooking though. They say, "The way to a man's heart is through his stomach", and somehow she discovered that it was his heart and not his wallet that she wanted to target after all.

After their short talk he left her to manage the house and other matters and promised to be home at about eight in the evening.

Mary returned to her room to unpack and could not resist the temptation to try the bed – it was a grand king size bed with one of those expensive mattresses – no matter how much you jumped on one side of it, the other side would not even move. She jumped several times, then lay down and smiled. Maybe she came here as a sugar baby, as a kept girl, but he should not underestimate her. She was clever and she had a fighting spirit many could envy. She did not manage to build a successful career (mainly because of her contradictory character), but if the gods sent her this wonderful chance then she would definitely build a successful relationship with a dream guy instead. That was the decision she made that day.

Having collected her strength, she unpacked and struggled with cleaning a little.

But for cooking she decided to use all her energy and all means possible to make it really delicious. She messaged Daniel and found out what he wanted for supper, and then she asked her friend who was working as a chef in one the best restaurants in the city for a piece of advice. After learning all the secret ingredients of a successful supper she went out for shopping, stopping over in a lingerie store to buy a night gown and paid for it with her newly acquired credit card. Daniel saw a message from the bank pop up on the screen of his phone, opened it and smiled, "She is already choosing lingerie. I knew it would be fun."

The night gown she chose was in complete accordance with a cliché image of what a sugar baby should look like when she prepares to go to sleep. It was a night gown of a really naughty girl; and the first one of this kind for a pure-hearted-Mary whom the-new-Mary decided to leave in the past, at least for now.

When Daniel returned home, he was met by delicious smell from the kitchen.

"Your sugar daddy arrived, come give me a kiss!" he shouted from the corridor.

Mary met him in full dress, with mascara and lipstick. He raised his eyebrows questioningly.

"What? I've been preparing for meeting you in the evening," she joked, though it was not much of a joke, because she really was preparing. She smiled, came up to him and kissed him on the lips. Though it was a rather short kiss, Daniel was taken aback nonetheless.

Daniel ate his portion of the supper and even asked for seconds, he was surprised to discover that she could cook so well. While she was replenishing his plate, he measured her with a look. She was an ordinarily looking woman, plump and in her late twenties, but that was not all that one should know about her. This woman was full of surprises, and now it also seemed that she had some evil plan on her mind, and Daniel should be careful not to fall into any of her traps… But that made it even more interesting, didn't it?

After supper Daniel went to take a shower. While Mary was changing to her newly bought night gown in her room, she looked in the mirror and imagined that this cliché sugar baby was standing next to her. She had to admit there was a big difference between them, but this difference was a complete fake! Now that Mary had money and time for it, she could become as hot as she would care to be.

When Daniel went out of the bathroom, Mary was already waiting for him on the bed in his bedroom. He let out a short surprised laugh. That was quick! But actually he was not planning any "night whims" any time soon. For him this sugar daddy business was more like a joke. He might reconsider later, but now?..

Somehow Mary guessed from the beginning that he had no "night whims" yet, probably she realized it when she was assigned a separate bedroom. She also did not plan anything to happen on the first day, but she had to make a move to prepare the ground for future, right?

"Come, don't be afraid, I don't bite," she said and petted the bed. "I just came to wish you a good night."

Daniel was half dressed. In his cloths he already looked sexy, but without those cloths his torso was even more masculine. When he sat down next to her, Mary caught her breath for a moment. What a man!

She gave him a kiss on the cheek this time, wished him a good night and departed to her own bedroom. Lying in her bed she was already planning her further steps to win over Daniel's heart.
