Emma delicately adjusted her silk blouse, revealing just enough skin to catch eyes without ever crossing into provocation. Her red hair, always impeccably styled, gently waved over her shoulders as she walked through the university hallways. Whether younger or older, students couldn't help but watch her pass; captivated by a seductive blend of her natural beauty and mature sophistication.

For the past six months, Emma had been confiding in Nathan, this shy and hesitant boy. Everything had started very reservedly, but over time, she had fallen deeply in love with him. Nathan possessed all the qualities a soulmate should have according to Emma: he treated her with care, she knew he would never be disrespectful, and she loved him even more for the vulnerability of his heart. Each date, each night talking in the dark, exchanging dreams or fears, her love grew with each encounter.

She always returned to the apartment she shared with Alex, her roommate outside of university. He was in his thirties, quite handsome, with a muscular build and that ease that commands admiration. They shared everything equally and took turns with the chores while respecting each other's privacy. Alex had never made a move on Emma, even though she was to his taste. He remained, as always, polite, discreet, and respectful, especially when Nathan spent the night at the apartment.

The end of September was approaching, and Emma checked her bank account for the hundredth time — a knot so familiar in her stomach. The calculation was simple: she didn't have enough to cover her share of the rent. She could barely pay a third. The thought of ending up homeless was too hard to imagine, and no one could help her. She finally found the courage, after several hours, to knock on Alex's door one evening, her heart pounding in her chest.

Alex was surprised to see Emma at his door at such a late hour. There was tension in the air; he could feel it from the hallway, see her slumped shoulders and her eyes avoiding Alex's gaze. When she explained her financial problems, his face slightly tensed with irritation. His arms were crossed over his chest as he listened.

"I'm really sorry, Alex. I didn't want it to come to this, but I don't know what else to do," she murmured, and there was something so fragile in the trembling of her voice.

The silence that followed was heavy and unbearable for Emma. Alex sighed.

"And now, what do you plan to do, Em? This isn't a small amount of money... I can't pay our shares every month, for God's sake," he said, annoyed.

With her heart racing, Emma made a panicked proposal without really thinking, out of fear of being evicted. "Maybe I could... pay you in another way," she said, blushing.

Alex raised an eyebrow, then his eyes turned serious. "What do you mean?"

Emma felt cornered. She could back out and end up homeless, or... she could cross a line. During the pause that followed, Emma was thinking, her gaze now lowered.

"Emma?" Alex's voice echoed the past.

Emma felt pressed for time and couldn't find any other solution than the one she had in mind. After all, she wasn't the first — it almost seemed common. She had a long-time friend who was accustomed to kneeling before her landlord in exchange for a rent reduction.

"I... I can pleasure you. ...," she murmured.

There was a pause before he replied, his voice softer, almost warm. "I must admit, I wasn't expecting this. Can you clarify your thought to avoid any ambiguity?"

"I could... um... let you use my mouth," Emma said slowly.

After a brief silence, Alex said, "Listen, you're very beautiful, and I'd be lying if I said your proposition doesn't interest me, but even assuming you're the queen of blowjobs, one blowjob isn't worth half the rent."

He was right, and Emma knew it. She tried to regain her composure, convincing herself it was a business transaction. She took a deep breath and looked Alex straight in the eyes.

"I propose to rent out my mouth to you," she said without flinching.

Alex squinted, surprised but intrigued.

"Rent out your mouth?" His question lingered.

Emma blushed slightly but continued, determined not to be misinterpreted.

"Yes, I... I'll let you use my mouth. Every day. As many times as you want, until I can pay my full share."

Alex struggled to believe what he had just heard. Emma, the beautiful and alluring young woman he shared this apartment with, was proposing to suck him off at will in exchange for her rent share. He would never have imagined finding himself in such a situation, especially with someone like her. A smile, both amused and slightly wicked, formed on his lips.

"Your boyfriend, Nathan... does he know about this little proposition?" he asked, trying to read Emma's reaction.

The blush immediately rose to Emma's cheeks. She lowered her eyes, unable to meet his gaze.

"No... he doesn't know... and he mustn't find out," she responded in a whisper.

Alex nodded, still with that same smile.

"That's fine, but to seal our agreement, we might as well start now. We could say that... using your mouth now would make things more official, don't you think?" he said, his tone amused.

Emma looked up at him, a mix of apprehension and resignation in her eyes. She knew she was solely responsible for her situation, and she really had no other choice. "Okay... let's start," she replied, her voice resigned.

Alex placed his hands on Emma's shoulders. "So, get on your knees? Might as well get comfortable," he said, watching her kneel.

Emma knelt, her hands trembling as she opened Alex's pants. She pulled out his already hardened cock, her eyes wide with fear. She had never sucked such a big cock, and she knew it would be a challenge.

But Emma was determined. Without waiting, she wrapped her lips around his shaft, her tongue coming out to play with the head. Alex moaned, his hands digging into her beautiful red hair as she began to suck him deeper and deeper.

Emma felt a shiver of pleasure as she felt his cock continue to swell in her mouth, her throat stretching to accommodate him best. She gagged slightly, but she overcame the discomfort, determined to satisfy Alex. She didn't want him to go back on their agreement.

Alex's hands tightened in her hair, his hips thrusting forward as he began to literally fuck her mouth. Emma moaned, her mouth full, her eyes closed as he called her a slut. Unexpectedly, she liked the way he talked to her.

Soon, only the sounds of sucking and Alex's moans broke the apartment's silence. He took pleasure in watching Emma's pretty lips slide along his cock. He had never dared to fantasize about her, but if he had, he would never have imagined such an arousing sight.

As Alex neared orgasm, Emma also felt her pleasure rise.

Alex grunted, his cock pulsing in Emma's mouth as he came. "Swallow it all, slut." Emma swallowed as she went along.

"You're very good at this, Em," Alex said in a low, hoarse voice.

Emma's heart skipped a beat as she realized the situation. When Alex released his grip, Emma stood up silently. The act had been more emotionally charged than she had imagined. Alex had clearly taken pleasure in emptying himself into her mouth. Emma, despite herself, had felt a form of pleasure she hadn't anticipated, and this feeling unsettled her.

Without a word, she headed towards her room, head bowed.

Alex: "I'll expect you tomorrow at the same time in front of my door, Emma. I fully intend to enjoy our agreement to the fullest," he said, confirming that this activity would become a routine.

Emma entered her room without a word and locked her door, leaving behind an Alex with a look mixing satisfaction and curiosity.

Emma let herself fall onto her bed. She knew the idea of this "rental" had come from a desperate impulse. But she hadn't expected to feel pleasure. Her conscience tormented her about Nathan. The lie by omission already weighed heavily on her conscience.

She didn't yet know how she was going to get out of this problematic situation, both emotionally and morally, that she had inadvertently locked herself into.
