Victoria Barton was Clint Barton's only surviving daughter after the Snap, and that meant he refused to let her live her own life-even though she was in her twenties and her family had come back from the Blip. He couldn't risk losing her-not after all the mistakes he had made, not after everything she had survived. And then there was Kate Bishop. His protégé. Bright, awkward, annoyingly charming... and, somehow, starting to slip past his defenses. And Victoria's. But Victoria knew the rules-dating was strictly off-limits until she got back on her feet. But she and Kate were just friends. Right?

Clint Barton doesn't go on dates. He makes arrangements. Everything is clearly stipulated from the beginning so there are no surprises, no messy emotions and no heartbreak. Just sign on the dotted line and he'll provide everything you need. A business major with an artist's soul, you switch schools. When you do, your family cuts you off completely. You're used to taking care of yourself but it still hurts. With your future in question, you put your head down and work your ass off to make your dreams come true. Unfortunately, they seem to stay frustratingly out of reach. Until your best friend's dad comes to you with a proposition. Be his beck and call girl, his date for the myriad social functions he must attend and he'll pay for everything. School, books, art supplies, and even an apartment of your very own. In return he wants your companionship, your faithfulness and your discretion. You should feel cheap but how can you when he treats you like a queen? *** Reader insert without y/n. All characters depicted in relationships are adults over the age of 18. This is a romance with mature themes.
