Do You Perhaps Need a Mistress?

“Do you perhaps need a mistress?”
“…….”
“How about me?”

On a certain bright, sunny day. While out on a pleasant walk, Aaron Hendricks, Duke of Hendricks, received an absurd proposal from Chloe Everdeen, the Earl’s daughter and the junior of the respected mentor he admired.

“Why would a perfectly respectable noble young lady try to become something like a mistress?”
“I need money. I want to become independent. I heard men give their mistresses all sorts of things. A house, a carriage, jewelry, living expenses too.”
“All right, let’s say that’s true. Then, Chloe. If I were to take you as my mistress, you would receive a house, a carriage, jewelry, and money from me, so what benefit would there be for me?”
“…….”
“Especially when you cannot even kiss properly. I would even have to teach you, so I would be the one taking too much of a loss.”
“I’ll learn. I, well, I learn anything quickly.”
“Fine. Then let’s make you a candidate for now. I’ll keep you by my side, and if you behave in a way that pleases me, we can discuss it again then.”

Then first, shall he start with a real kiss?
Slowly, step by step. Until she acts in a way that pleases him.
