Sugar Daddies

A small-town girl with big plans for her future keeps returning to one online advert on a sugar daddy website. Two men are looking for a Little Miss Right: someone who can amuse them, keep up with their corporate schedules and share their bed, often.

The men are Carl and Rick, and they set terms. They come as a pair or not at all. She decides she can live with that, and for a while nothing in their polished lives looks worrying. Their tastes are particular, and that seems to be the extent of it.

Then the two men reveal a secret that has sent every earlier girl running. A whole string of women left before her, and none of them looked back.

The narrator tells it in her own breezy first-person voice, with a cheeky, comic tone and a sexual arrangement at the centre of the plot. She thinks about walking away as well. She is already too involved to do it easily, and the question is what Carl and Rick have told her and whether she can stay.
