Chapter 13

“This is Jason,” Trace said by way of introduction, putting an arm casually around Jason’s waist. “Can he get you something to drink? Or do you need dinner?”

“No, no, I ate at the dorm. A Coke would be okay I guess,” Ted replied.

Trace added, “I’ll have my usual.”

The young man nodded and left.

Trace continued to smile at Ted. “I’m very happy you took me up on my offer to help. I know how hard it is for you struggling college guys.”

Still confused as to what Trace meant, he decided to take the bull by the horns and find out. “Uh…thank you. But I really don’t understand what you mean. Just how will you be able to help me?”

Trace’s smile deepened, accentuating the dimples in his cheeks. “I’ll get straight to the point. Among other things, I run an escort service, Escorts Inc.” he said, pride in the simple statement showing on his face. “And a handsome young man like you could do very well for himself working for me.”
