The Pleasure Contract, Caitlin Crews [epub e ink reader txt] 📗

but yeah, it is. My parents spent their lives conditioning me to think and act a certain way. To put career and appearance before everyone. I am so tired of it all.

He clears his throat. “You’re sure everything is okay?”

Honestly, I used to overlook the way he cleared his throat a million times a day, but right now, the mucus king is annoying the living hell out of me. In fact, everything about him is getting on my last nerve, from the way his beady eyes are narrowed, trying to figure me out, to the way he’s rocking on his feet. I fist my hand around the pen and resist the urge to stab him with it.

I paste on a dazzling smile and catch my reflection in the mirror. The sadness beneath the upturned lips catches me off guard. What the hell is wrong with me? The guy I loved in college tossed me away like I was yesterday’s newspaper, and my fiancé was just insulting me on the phone to a girl he’s likely hooking up with. He has to marry me. Not because he loves me but because it’s good for his career.

Am I that unlovable?

I’ve been the good girl my whole life, done everything I was supposed to. Look where that’s gotten me. Maybe I ought to just say the hell with it, throw caution to the wind, and for once in my life, do something I want to do—regardless of the consequences.

Yeah, maybe that’s exactly what I’ll do this weekend.
