Charles and I sit in silence for a moment before I pipe up “So, how much of all of this is legal?”
The man blushes red before replying “I am mainly here as a witness, your father has said not to discuss anything more with you.”
I knew it! This can’t be legal! To be perfectly honest though, even if it was completely within the realms of legality I would probably still do it, just to get out from under my fathers thumb. I decide to take a seat behind my fathers desk. It can’t hurt to be seated in the place of power before Mr Aves even enters the room.
The door swings open without warning and in walks Austin Aves, his black hair shining under the harsh fluorescent lights. He sees me sitting there and smirks, taking the seat directly opposite me. For a moment I am struck silent by the man in front of me, but only a moment.
“So, you're the man that wants me to whore myself out?”
A chocked sound comes from Charles in the corner of the room.
“I choose not to see it that way but if you do, so be it.”
“I see it that way because it is. Why else would you be paying me for it?”
“Would you rather do it for free? That will save me quite the chunk of change Miss Stratos.”
“I would rather not do it at all.”
“Then why are you?”
Upon asking this he begins to stare me down, making me squirm uncomfortably in the seat.
“The reasons I am doing this are my own. They do not represent a risk to you, so you do not need to know them.”
I have to admit I am feeling pretty smug. I mean who can say that they have successfully stood up to a man like Austin Aves.
“Your father tells me you have some terms of your own about our arrangement?”
“I do.”
“Well what are they? I am sure we can come to some sort of mutually beneficial agreement”
“Well I uh that is to say…” I stammer. Being put on the spot like this really isn’t my strong suit. “I would like to know your terms first so we can negotiate based on that.”
“My terms are quite simple, Miss Stratos. I want you. In order for this to work for the both of us I am willing to put you up in my penthouse apartment, at which you will primarily reside except for occasional visits from myself, or stylists and hairdressers and so forth that I send to you. All your needs will be attended to and I mean all your needs.” As he says this he raises his eyebrow suggestively. “I will supply you a phone at which you must always be available through. I expect you to maintain yourself through diet and exercise and am happy to supply both the means and instruction on how to do so properly. I would prefer a low level of alcohol consumption , however, if you are not one to partake heavily then I am sure we will be fine. In addition to these things you will accompany me to events and so forth that it would be beneficial for you to attend on my arm and you will not turn me down for any sexual request I may have. I will also require you to sign a non-disclosure agreement covering our arrangement and also anything you may see or hear regarding my business and or personal life. Do you find these terms agreeable?”
For a moment I am stunned, that is until the words ‘not turn me down for any sexual request’ filter through into my brain.
“I would like to negotiate the ‘any sexual request part’ actually” I say, folding my hands in my lap in order to hide the fact that they are shaking. “There are a few things that, well, I am not comfortable doing.”
“Well we could always institute a safety system, if that is agreeable to you? Something along the lines of orange if you are unsure and red if it is a hard pass?”
I take a moment to consider this proposition before nodding. “I find that agreeable. But as a concession I would like a five hundred thousand dollar early termination clause. If either of us terminates the agreement then I want a guaranteed income for my time.”
“If it is not broken within three months then I do not see this as a problem.”
“Also I would like one weekend a month to do with as I like.”
“Agreed on the condition that if there is an event I need you to attend we can rain check the weekend.”
“Agreed. Visitors in the penthouse?” I ask. It would be great if Kenzie could occasionally come over.
“I will need to be informed of their arrival time and departure. If I say I am heading there then your guest will need to leave.” He says. “Oh and they cannot be other men. I don’t share my toys with others. Now if there is nothing else?” he asks, I shake my head, I have asked for everything I can think of at this moment. “Good, now Charles I am guessing you are here to witness us signing the documents?”
“Yes Sir, if you give me a …”
“I have it all drawn up here, just let me add in our agreed additions. Now Miss Stratos if you could please sign here, and now sign the non-disclosure agreement. Thank you. I will send a car for you Miss Stratos at 7pm sharp. You do not need to pack anything. I have everything taken care of already.”
With this he gathers the papers, stand s up and stalks out of the room.
Not even a minute has passed before my father has entered the room once more.
“Well did they agree? Is it done?” He immediately begins interrogating Charles.
“Yes Sir, I will email his office and get the copies sent over to you right away.”
“Good. Good. Well Victoria, it seems like you are helping this family after all.”
With his comment, my patience, and hangover, have caught up with me. Without a word I stand and leave the room. Even though he said not to pack anything there are some things that I cannot live without.
Returning to my tiny apartment, I sigh. I head to my closet and grab my duffle bag I know I keep in there. I just need to pack a few things to take with me. Before I can even get started though there is a knock on the door. I head over to the front door and peer through the peephole. To my surprise there are two men standing there in coveralls.“Hi there, um can I help you?” I say opening the door just a crack and keeping the safety chain on.“Yes, are you Miss Victoria Stratos?” The man closest to the door asks.“Yes, that's me. How can I help?”“We have been sent by Mr Aves to help you move your belongings into storage. Is now a good time?&rd
One awkward car ride later and we arrive at a very tall skyscraper. Before I can open my door, the driver has made his way over and opened it for me. The kind man extends his hand to assist me out of the vehicle and I take it. Austin steps out after me and begins to walk into the building, his confidence evident in his swagger. As we head into the building I am astonished by all the stares, surely there are other things more interesting than Austin Aves stepping out of a vehicle with a woman. As a camera clicks, my face blushes.“Why are they all staring?” I ask him quietly.“I am guessing it is because it is not often I am seen with a woman on my arm, so much so that there were rumours that I wasn’t exactly straight.”“Well, are you? Straight I mean.”
Before either of us can say a word, Austin is pushing the button and the elevator doors slide shut. I glance at Erin and see the smile that had once crossed her perfectly made up face is gone, replaced by what I would almost call a sneer.“So… How long have you been working for Austin?” I say in an attempt to start a civil conversation with a woman who clearly dislikes me.“For longer than you will be around. I was here before you and I will be here long after he tires of you.” she snaps back.Okay I was not expecting that much hostility.Before I can respond she continues “Here is your key card. Only you and Mr Aves will have access to the apartment. If you lose this I will not replace it. You will have to admit your m
As I reach the top of the staircase I am once again faced with the decision of left or right. This time I chose to turn right first. Walking into a short hall I can either go straight into what looks to be a small sitting room or right again into a small foyer. I choose right entering the foyer and I turn towards the open door. To say I immediately fall in love with the room that greets me would be an understatement. Books line the majority of the walls and some small shelves scattered throughout the room. The light comes from many large skylights giving the room a more natural feel. Dark oak furniture accented with red furnishings soften the room slightly, but overall it feels like a very masculine space. Feeling as if I am trespassing I back slowly out of the room. Maybe I will explore the shelves later.
After a long soak I’m feeling much better. Climbing out of the pool I dry myself off before slipping on the fluffy robe that was hanging behind the door. This man has good taste when it comes to the comforts in life. I think, slowly stroking the sleeve of the robe. Stepping out back into the wardrobe I run my hand along all the fabrics available. In my attempt to locate some comfy pajamas, I find a series of drawers tucked away in the corner.Opening them one at a time, I peer through them quickly. In the top most drawers I find lingerie. Why am I not surprised? The majority is made of lace or silk and some of it can be described as barely there. Opening the next drawers down I find socks, stockings and the like. Th
A few days have passed and I have yet to see Austin. It seems odd that he has contracted me for a minimum of three months and then I don’t hear from him or see him, not that I am complaining. Connie and I have grown closer and gotten to know each other better during the week and I have found that I really enjoy her company. Erin hasn’t made an appearance again since that first night and to be honest that is something small that I can celebrate. Feeling at a loss as to what to do with myself, I decided to explore the library.Wandering through the currently empty house on my way to the library, I begin to find myself feeling rather lonely. Flicking Kenzie a quick text to see what she is up to, I walk through the door and into the library. Perusing the shelves I see that the majority are classics such as Charles Dickens and Jane Austin. But tucked away in the corner I spy one of my
As I enter the dining room, I see Austin sitting at the table reading over some papers. Taking in the view of him dressed immaculately in a white button down shirt and black slacks I sigh a little. There could be worse things than being this man's mistress I think.As I enter, my heels clacking on the floor, he raises his head and looks me up and down. He gives a slight nod of approval before indicating for me to take a seat. I open my mouth to greet him but before I can speak a word he holds up one finger, indicating for me to wait. Biting my tongue I do as he asks. He continues to read before setting the papers to the side.“Victoria, nice to see you. How have you been settling in? I trust everything is going well?”
With little warning he again slides a single finger between my folds. “You seem to enjoy this as much as I do.” he says, before plunging a finger into my depths. My body shudders at the intrusion, but I find myself growing wetter by the second. A moan escapes my lips as he starts to move his finger in and out and before long he has added a second one. Soon sounds that at any other time I would be embarrassed about, escape me and I feel myself close to tipping over the edge. With a moan I am soon climaxing on his fingers. “Good girl.” Austin purrs. He withdraws his fingers and is soon thrusting his cock into me. The feeling of fullness overwhelms me and it is not long until I am reaching climax again. Austin pulls out and then says “Go and clean yourself up. I’ll be in touch the next time I need you.” He then walk
