Jarrod noted Alecs discomfort, maintaining a stoic, unaffected demeanor.
As the elevator reached their floor, the doors slid open to reveal a Lineup of young, handsome men standing at attention. Good evening, distinguished guests, they greeted warmly.
The club had curated a selection of male escorts who combined youthful vigor with rugged appeal, their well-defined physiques appealing to a broad range of tastes.
