Summary
Laurent was sold to a brothel by his uncle when he was just a child, along with Ancel, his comrade in arms. Now the two of them own the most exclusive sex club in the city, catering only to the wealthiest and most elite customers. While Laurent's transitioned to the financial side of their business and doesn't take clients anymore he finds himself captivated by one of their guests anyway, a man who's been guilted into attending his older brother's stag party. In a place that sells only illusions, will these two be able to find something real?
“Would it be okay if I sat down next to you?”
Damen nods and Laurent sits down entirely too close to him, knocking their knees together. Damen sits stiffly, unmoving, until Laurent leans in again, his lips brushing the outer shell of Damen’s ear.
“Put your arm around me, you oaf. Am I going to have to do everything tonight?”

Summary
“That's it,” he says, and pulls on his jacket. “I'm saying something.”
“Laurent, don't,” Auguste says, reaching out to grab his arm. “Think about this, for a moment. They're probably roaring drunk and even if they weren't they'd be no match for you. Why don't you just let it go, enjoy a drink with your favorite brothers in the whole world, and have a nice, soothing night. Hmm?”
Laurent settles down, and takes a deep breath. He shucks off his jacket, earning him a warm smile from Auguste.
“You're right,” he says, letting the anxious breath his brothers had been holding wash over him before continuing. “If I'm going to eviscerate them and make them regret every decision that's led them to this point in their sorry little lives, I'm going to need a better plan."
His brothers groan in unison, and Laurent smiles evilly.

Summary
It starts, embarrassingly enough, with an ad from Craigslist:
"I’m a 21 y.o art student (male), writing a thesis on the relationship between performance and the awareness of the audience. You don’t care about that. I’m an actor offering to give you the most dramatic night of your life. I’ll be your date to any event/function/family gathering, and convince your friends/family members that I’m either: the biggest mistake of your life or the best thing that ever happened to you. Up to you. I’m very good at what I do."
