Regina Mills was just arriving for her shift at the diner, she was not looking forward to the long shift and being on her feet all day, but she was trying to finish last year of college. She just had one more semester then she would have her teaching degree. Then she would be able to hopefully start a new job and be able to move out from the bad neighborhood she lived in currently.

She had just clocked in and was putting her purse away when her fellow co-worker Ruby came up beside her. Ruby had been at the diner long before Regina had started working here, she had helped her with learning everything she needed to know to work here.

"So how are you holding up?" Ruby asked as she popped the gum in her mouth.

"I'm doing okay, just a little tired lately," Regina answered.

"Girl, what are you even doing here? You're better than this," Ruby said.

"I'm in school during the day and I have to pay for it, this is the only thing I could find," Regina said.

"You should try being an escort," Ruby said as Regina looked at her funny. "I'm serious, it's good money plus you get to have sex."

"I could never do that Ruby," Regina said.

"What? You're a knock out, with that figure, tiny waist, hips and butt to die for," Ruby said.

"But to just lie there while some strange man has sex with you? I couldn't do that," Regina said.

"Some men know exactly what they're doing," Ruby said as Regina raised her eyebrows at her. "What? It's really good money, I do it every so often. Here, here is a name of a local agency, you should look into it." Ruby handed her a card as she then left and headed into the diner part. Regina held the card and contemplated what to do, she was just a little behind in her rent and her fees for the spring semester were due next week. Regina put the card into her pocket and headed to work. Several hours later, she was due for a break and had just sat down for a few minutes. Her feet were killing her, and the first few hours had been so hard in the diner tonight. Lots of ungrateful people who couldn't seem to understand that when the diner was packed like it was that you couldn't get your order in five seconds.

Regina finished her shift and took the subway to get home to her apartment. She went into her apartment and sat down on the couch, she kicked off her shoes and opened her book to start cramming in a few hours, she had a big exam in the morning and she really needed to pass it. An hour passed when there was a knock on her door, she got up and went to open it.

"Mr. Gold? Is something wrong?" Regina asked her landlord.

"I'm afraid so dearie, you've fallen behind in your rent and I'm afraid if I don't get your rent this week, that I'll have no choice but to start to evict you," Mr. Gold said.

"But Mr. Gold I'll get you the money, I promise you, just please give me a little time," Regina said.

"I'm sorry dearie, but I can't give you anymore time. If you don't have the full amount by Friday, then I'll have to evict you," Mr. Gold said as he left her door. Regina closed it and went to her couch and sat down and let the stress of everything hit her at once, she cried as she knew she could not afford the rent now. She was so close to being done with her schooling, she couldn't give up on it now. She wiped her tears and pulled out the card that Ruby had given her earlier, she took a deep breath and picked up her phone and started dialing.

"Select Models, this is Amber how can I assist you?" the woman asked.

"I was interested in becoming an escort," Regina couldn't believe her own ears. She was really going to do this.

"Hello Regina, have you ever been an escort before?" Amber asked.

"No, no I haven't," Regina answered.

"I see, well why don't you come by tomorrow afternoon say around two and we'll discuss this further," Amber said as Regina agreed to meet her after getting the directions.

Regina was saddened that it was coming to this but she had to do what she had to do to survive, if only for a few more months then she could rebuild her life again. She went back to her studies and was up till two, before she let exhaustion take hold of her and went to sleep. She got up and barely made it to her class in time, the test was hard as she knew it would be and she wasn't sure if she had passed it. She was so distracted by the thought of her afternoon appointment with the agency. Finally the afternoon arrived and she went to the building where the agency was located, she met Amber and they sat down and started to discuss everything an escort was required to do.

"Now if you wish to proceed with this, you'll need to have a complete physical first to make sure you are healthy for this line of work. With being an escort, you'll typicall be driven to a restuarant where you'll meet your client, you'll have dinner and talk. Once that is over you'll go back to his hotel room, where you'll become intimate with them. Now some are very demanding for our escorts to be dominated or to dominate them," Amber described the aspects of this.

"What about, do the clients wear protection?" Regina asked, this was so embarrassing but she had to know.

"Yes, all of our clients when they sign up to become a client sign a clause that states that they must wear a condom during sex with our escorts. Though as you well know, that does not gurantee that you won't become pregnant," Amber said.

"What if they become too phycial?" Regina asked.

"We give our girls an alarm that is put on this bracelet, our driver are armed and can be in your hotel room in no time, should things become too much," Amber said. "Now I have to ask you a few things. One is what made you decide this line of work?"

"I need the money, I'm in school and behind in my bills and I have to find something that pays more," Regina said.

"I understand, now the other is how many sexual partners have you had?" Amber asked as Regina's eyes went big at the question being posed to her.

"Regina? You have had sex before?" Amber asked.

"Yes, yes once," Regina answered.

"One time? Well make sure that this is what you want because you could be having sex with several different men seven nights a week," Amber said as Regina nodded.

"Okay, then I'm going to need you to go to this clinic for a physical and once everything checks out, we'll be in touch," Amber said as Regina stood up and thanked her before going to the clinic. She was given blood tests, on an array of things. The doctor told her everything was clear and Regina should call Amber within the hour.

Regina sat on her kitchen table and made the call to Amber who was pleased that she would be able to start as soon as possible. "I'm going to need you to come by and we're going to dress you up and take a few pictures for our agency. Say around five?"

"I'll be there," Regina said as she started getting ready to go back to the agency.

"Now I'm going to need you to put on this lingeree and these heels, Carol will be in to do your hair and makeup for the pictures," Amber showed her where a changing room was and Regina held back the tears as she took off her normal clothes and slipped the lingeree on. It was a black and white bra and thong set, matched by black pumps. Carol came in and redid her make up, making her lashes extra long and her lips fire engine red. Her hair she curled at the ends in loose curls.

"Now that is a makeover," Amber said as Regina came out and together they went to another room where a photographer started taking pictures. Regina was told to give several different poses, some where she was standing up, and some where she was laying down on a couch on her back. Once it was over, Amber told her that they would be in touch as soon as she was requested by a client.

"Oh and you're new name is going to be Angel, never give a client your real name," Amber explained as Regina nodded and went home, she was scared that her phone would ring and also scared that it wouldn't ring.

In another part of New York, Killian Jones was racking his brain with what to get his best friend's birthday. Robin was a sucessful attorney at the Newman and Newman branch, he had been widowed for over a year now and was rebuilding his life. Killian had set him up on several dates but Robin never went out with the same woman twice, telling Killian that none of them held his attention.

Killian was flipping through the newspaper when he saw a particular ad for a local escort agency. He smiled as he thought of the perfect gift for Robin, he made a quick phone call and after being directed to their webpage, he flipped through several pictures. Most women were way to revealing for Robin's tastes, but more to his own tastes, he was about to give up when he saw one woman who caught his eye. Brunette, dark eyes and curves that begged for a man's attention. But there was something in her eyes that made Killian know that this was the woman for Robin, she didn't have that out there look to him. He quickly made the transaction for 'Angel' and he gave the address for where Robin's party was tonight. He made one more phone call before leaving to get ready for tonight.

"Oi mate, are you ready for tonight?" Killian asked once he had Robin on the phone.

"Killian, what are you up to?" Robin asked.

"Mate, I'm offended you would think I would be up to something," Killian said.

"Tell it to someone who doesn't know you any better," Robin said.

"Ouch, well then I guess I will see you at the restaurant later," Killian said as he hung up with a smile on his face.

Regina was just finishing washing dishes when her phone rung, she went to answer it with dread in her mind. Sure enough it was Amber's number from the agency.

"Hello?" Regina asked as she answered.

"Regina, I have great news for you. We have a client who is interested in you," Amber said.

"That's great," Regina said, not knowing what else to say.

"Our driver will be at your apartment in an hour, make sure to do your hair and makeup. And you're to wear a skin tight black dress and high heels," Amber said as she hung up.

Regina put the phone down and wiped a tear from her eye, she was dreading tonight but she just had to get this over with. She quickly took a shower and fixed her hair and make up as requested and she found the black dress she had worn a few years ago. Ten minutes later she was going downstairs to meet the driver, who picked her up and drove her to the destination. She was told to go into the restaurant and ask for a Killian Jones. She took a deep breath as she walked into the restaurant where she was directed to where Killian was.

"Wow, your pictures don't do justice to the real thing," Killian said.

"Thank you," Regina said as she was trying not to appear nervous. Killian was an attractive man, and didn't look like a pervert and hopefully he would treat her with enough respect tonight. She leaned closer to him, to kiss him but was stopped by his hands.

"Whoa lass, I've got you for a friend of mine. It's his birthday and I wanted him to enjoy tonight," Killian explained.

Regina didn't know whether to be relieved or filled with dread. Another man, would he be a creep or would he appear like Killian?

"Ah here he is right now," Killian said as Regina turned her head to see a dark brown haired man walking up to them.

"Killian," Robin said as he shook hands with Killian. His gaze was locked on the beauty standing in front of him, he thought how lucky Killian was to have her as his date tonight and knew he had to move his gaze or else he was afraid that Killian would see the way he was looking at her.

"Robin," Killian said. "This is Angel, Happy Birthday." Killian said as he pushed Regina towards Robin's arms, which enclosed around her slim form.

"Excuse me?" Robin asked. As much as he instantly loved the feel of her in his arms, he was still confused by Killian's words to him.

"I'm your birthday present it seems," Regina said as seductively as she could as she leaned up and grabbed his face and planted a kiss on his lips, Robin to his credit was stunned at first but then was right into the kiss.

"I'll leave you in good hands," Killian said as he smacked Regina on the ass as he walked away from them. Regina pulled back from the kiss, he was like a sweet dessert that she was craving. She looked into his stunned expression and she was about to bolt he could tell so he did the only thing he could do which was to crush her lips under his again. She responded to his kiss instantly, his hands went to her face, one moving to her hair as they continued to kiss.

Robin stopped the kiss relunctantly, because they were in a public place and he was already aroused. Plus he had his party to go to, he looked around to see Killian standing in the doorway of where he had booked the room for his private dinner. He had a drink in his hand and raised it and winked at him as he had been watching them for the last few minutes.

"Well, it seems that you're mine for the night," Robin said.
