Best of Asian Erotica, Volume 2

The host had little conversation and less manners, but he introduced her to Mike. Mike had no conversation at all and probably no manners-it was hard to say, he was so intense about an Internet game he’d invented that was earning him millions, something to do with dropping virtual balls into virtual boxes. He probably figured he didn’t need any social graces. If she hadn’t been desperate, she would have slapped him, his come-on was so crude. But at the same time, she could see he was honest, as the emotionally retarded can be. He really did think that people were basically computers and would do what you wanted if you clicked on the right spot. He guessed-it wasn’t difficult considering how worn her best jeans and T-shirt were-that in her case he only needed to click on dough.

From the party mansion, it was only a short walk to his mansion, but he drove her in his Porsche. She knew the first night was a test; if she performed right, he would be quite generous. So, feeling like a real whore for the first time in her life, she pulled out all the stops. Next morning, he offered her a contract and left her, open-mouthed, to think about it while he drove over to Gib to make another million.

Sitting in the great big kitchen of the great big mansion, she felt suicidal.

Had she really come to this? Out of sarcasm she wrote down the deal he had offered her in his snappy, take-it-or-leave-it, barrow-boy voice before he’d dashed out of the house without even a peck on the cheek.

She was not of the self-destructive kind, though, and knew very well there was a price to pay for everything. Considering how she’d pretty much sold her body for peanuts up to now, it wasn’t really such a bad deal. Once she accepted the no-frills attitude, she realized he was being quite generous.

She had trained as a legal secretary, but had proved unable to endure the tedium. Now she translated his hurried, staccato offer into legalese: Between

Penelope Smith (‘the Service Provider’) of the first part and Michael James Hope (‘the Client’) of the second part, it is hereby agreed as follows:

1. The Service Provider will satisfy on demand any request of a sexual nature made by the Client at anytime of the day or night on receipt of not less than fifteen minutes notice provided that: a. such request shall not cause pain, injury or risk of health to the Service Provider. (In this context, bondage and/or mild flagellation which does not break the skin shall not be considered painful or injurious to health; but the Service Provider shall have the right to refuse anal intercourse at her discretion.)

b. For the avoidance of doubt, it is specifically agreed that the Service Provider will participate in group sex at the Client’s request, provided that said group sex shall not include other men or more than two other women per session.

2. In return for the services set out in 1 above (‘the Services’), the Client shall:

a. Pay the Service Provider five hundred pounds per week; b. Provide accommodation at the Client’s mansion in Sotto Grande free of charge, including a bedroom for the Service Provider’s exclusive use; c. Pay all reasonable living expenses of the Service Provider, including appropriate clothing and food, and provide a car for the Service Provider’s exclusive use.

d. Purchase health insurance for the Service Provider.
