How Can Someone With Sensitive Skin Woo Someone Craving Affection?

*

Ci Yi was young and drowning in debt. When he heard his cousin was dead set against marrying the son of a nouveau riche, he immediately said his cousin could give him that blessing... No, he was happy to help his cousin out of a tight spot.

His cousin asked, "I heard this guy's ugly, bad-tempered, promiscuous, and has no education or manners. Are you sure you want to marry him?!"

Ci Yi patted his chest. "Don't worry, Cousin. I like that type."

As long as there was money, those were minor issues. They weren't even issues at all.

After Quan Huili's father struck it rich overnight, he still wasn't satisfied with the status quo. He went on to run for office. In his fifties, he figured he was at the prime age for making something of himself.

To win votes, his father led by example and declared his full support for sexual minorities. No, he wanted Quan Huili to lead by example and marry a man.

Quan Huili said he wanted to find love on his own terms and protested vehemently. "I'm not going to fall for a man I've never even met!"

But after meeting Ci Yi and seeing his lovely face, he fell head over heels in an instant, eating his words and weeping with joy. The skin hunger that had plagued him for years could finally be cured. The person before him was his destined partner!

To make some money, Ci Yi had to swallow his discomfort and agree to all of Quan Huili's requests for physical affection.

Hand-holding, hugs, and kisses were all priced individually, by the number of times.

His boundaries kept being pushed lower and lower, until Quan Huili pushed him onto the bed and he realized things had long since spiraled out of control.

Bonus scene:

Quan Huili knew Ci Yi was sensitive, had a cleanliness obsession, and disliked physical contact with others. He also knew that when he touched Ci Yi's waist, Ci Yi would melt into a puddle and make a sound like a little cat. He was the only one who knew.

A few things to know:

* Both leads are sexually inexperienced, 1v1 happy ending, handsome top and pretty bottom, fictional urban setting, silly plot. See the tags below for character details.

* They both pretend it's a financial transaction, but they caught feelings early on. A story about two people whose mouths are harder than their... you know.

* No switching the top and bottom, and no fantasies about the characters! If that's not your thing, please take note. Not a custom-tailored story.

* All characters, groups, and events in the story are unrelated to real life.

Theme: Love means always feeling indebted, not always feeling shortchanged
