Sold To Mr. Sterling

January 4th, 2022

​

To save my family, my virginity will go to the highest bidder...

​

My mouth fills with a sour, metallic taste, and my thighs tense, willing me to kick off my heels and run for the elevator before it’s too late.

 

But I remain motionless, head up, knees locked, shoulders thrown back as I stare down the door and the light beside it. 

​

When it flashes green, I reach out, clasp the handle, and move forward, stepping into the white room with the wall of one-way mirrors without looking back.
