The Aurelia Club — A Universe from the Mind of Alid Nallass

Talia reads contracts; it’s how she got to Cambridge. The sugar arrangement looks airtight: dinners, gifts, a wellness band, one chastity clause she skimmed. Her wrist keeps score: every slip cited to the hour, every citation paid across his knee, until self-abuse is the rarest thing in his house. Her girlfriend isn’t in the contract - what Talia signs away, Jennifer keeps. She thinks that loophole is invisible. He read her file before the first date. The Cambridge Arrangement, book one: Sugar.
