Bastian Uncovered, Volume 5: The Offer

After their first encounter, Alexandro Cabrera has been obsessed with the handsome escort. The man has to have him again, not just occasionally but permanently. Mr. Cabrera is a businessman and businessmen like to own things. He knows Bastian is owned by the mafia. This is a fantasy for him. He will go through the formalities of serving Bastian coffee, making a proposal that, of course, Bastian is not allowed to refuse, and then shake his hand, as if something has actually been negotiated. He will give Bastian some very generous compensation, just between the two of them, which the boy is allowed to accept.
