“What?” Megan and Bianca ask in unison.

“Why would someone give you money? Ten thousand bucks?” Megan asks again, now sitting beside me on the couch with brows draw in together.

We’ve been friends since we started our freshmen in college. I know they will be surprised because who will just throw ten thousand dollars without a catch?

“Cam, stop zoning out. Why would someone offer you money? For what? Is this some kind of scam? Are you going to sell drugs as payment or...” Bianca’s eyes widen in shock. “Is he going to pay you for sex?” She’s already sitting on the coffee table, gripping my knees.

“Will you two stop overreacting. I did not accept the offer.”

They both sigh in relief.

“I mean I haven’t thought and decided, yet.”

They exchange a look—a look as if I’m losing my goddamn mind.

“What’s that supposed to mean, Camila Leigh?” Megan asks.

“It’s huge cash, and I can buy a car, you know.”

It’s disappointing because I am considering his offer, but it feels like I’m selling my soul to the devil if I am going to take it. I’m afraid Kyland will find out where the money comes from. How am I going to tell him?

“Cam, start talking. You’re killing us here. I have millions of ideas spinning in my brain right now. Spill it.” Bianca stands up, shoots me a glare, and crosses her arms over her chest.

“Never mind, forget about it,” I say, waving my hand to cut off this nonsense topic.

They groan in annoyance.

“No, you’re not just going to tell us to forget about it, Cam. Now, you’re going to tell us, or I will ask Kyland and let him ask you instead. Your choice.”

I roll my eyes to Megan’s warning. Kyland will forever lock me in the dungeon if they will say a word about this.

Why do I even start this topic in the first place? Why am I so tempted with that prick’s offer?

I was beyond angry when he offered me. I feel so cheap like a whore. I wanted to punch him, but he might sue me if I will hit his gorgeous face again.

Ugh!

I just say his gorgeous. Well, he’s undeniably gorgeous, but he’s still a jerk.

“Okay, just calm down.”

“Just tell us already,” Megan says and stands beside Bianca.

“He offered me for a Boudoir photoshoot with him.”

“Who?” my friends ask in unison. They look more curious than ever.

“Pyke,” I say quietly.

“Pyke!” They yell into my face with wide eyes.
