Gracie is homeless, has been for most of her life. When a particular cold set of days cause her to move from her former place in downtown Manhattan-a measly alleyway- she finds not only a new sleeping arrangement, but the interest of a certain tall dark and handsome stranger...minus the dark. When said stranger learns her situation he gives her an application to a job, and some free nights in his apartment. Except...when Gracie gets the job it just so happens to be for him, and he's not the sweet person she's thought he was. Gracie needs something more than pennies in her metaphorical bank account, and the tall not-so-dark and handsome stranger is giving her hundred dollar bills...he just might not be worth it.

Imagine their surprise when he meets Avelina. ❦ "Mr. Zolotov, I have to make sure you bathe before I leave. It's apart of my jobs protocol," she said softly. The truth was that he made her feel nervous. There was so much coldness and evil in his eyes, it left a chill to run down her spine. "Fine," he stated before walking over to his bathtub. Her eyes followed his movements as he pulled off his shirt causing her to lick her lips and quickly look away. She could hear the sound of more clothes falling onto the ground until the sound of water running littered her eardrums. "You assist when asked, isn't that right?" He asked. Slowly, she opened her eyes to see that he had already gotten into the shower. "Yes," Avelina answered. "Bathe me." ❦ Dangerously far from clichéComplete
