Carson laid down in his bed after he was done playing with the random prostitute he had hired to accompany him that night.

The woman had a smudged red lips on the side and slightly messed up hair, but it was the aftermath of their sex session which lasted for nearly an hour.
“How do you like it?” She asked him as she trailed her nails across his chest in a seductive motion, subtly making an attempt to arouse him again. He turned to her and put on a fake smile as a response, barely saying a word, which was more his style. He enjoyed her performance but she was not enough for him.
