Tabitha was really in a bind. Her college experience so far had been pretty enjoyable, classes were going well, and she was meeting tons of new people. The parties were amazing! But it seemed like everything that could've gone wrong financially did at the same time.
Her car decided to breakdown yesterday, and she needed to get it towed (for another $145!). The transmission of all things, at least $1500 to repair said the grease-covered big-bellied man at the nearest shop. At the same party she was leaving, her phone had fallen from her hand and was now a shattered glass trap for her fingers. Furthermore, her grant paperwork had issues and got rejected meaning she had to buy this round of books (easily $300).
She had to buy food, the membership for her gym was due, everything all at the same time. And, she was effectively broke. Her credit cards were already maxed out, and she couldn't bear the thought of asking her parents for help. They had wanted her to stay home, attend the local community college, but she defiantly broke away. She needed to figure things out.
"I need money like yesterday, and tons of it!" Tabitha said to her roommate. Oh, rent was due too.
"What's wrong babe?" asked Sam, she was watching TV all snuggled up on the couch with a cup of hot chocolate that was still steaming. It was nearly 11 at night.
"Oh everything, the car, the rent," she held her broken phone up and pointed at it like it was the most important thing in the world, "my phone."
Tabitha let out an exasperated grunt of frustration, "I should just start stripping." She was half serious. Her job at the coffee shop paid squat. It was enough to get by, for now. But not with all this extra stuff coming up. And she needed her car to get there. It was a mess.
"Oh, you'd make a ton doing that I'm sure, that hot little body of yours," Sam winked at her and they both giggled. It was true, Tabitha was really cute. She had a petite little body, long-ish flowing full head of brown hair. Frankly, she adored her perky tits.
"I actually would, wouldn't I?" Tabitha couldn't even believe she was seriously contemplating it for a second.
"Oh, actually, the school newspaper just came today. Why don't you look in the wanted section and see if there's a way to make a quick buck in there?" Sam pointed over at the pile of envelopes, papers and magazines sitting on the coffee table.
Tabitha reached over and shuffled through the papers, "great idea." As she picked up the paper and opened it, she looked over at Sam with a grin, "let's see what I can find."
Sam gave her a smile and went back to watching her show and sipping her hot chocolate.
The help wanted section was a mishmash of jobs and offers. Busing tables, nope. A barista? Already was one. Nope nope nope. She shuffled through the paper. The thought of trying to figure out how to start an OnlyFans was starting to sound good too. Then she saw an add that caught her eye. S&M Research Group - Wanted - High Paying research - Sexual in nature. It had a picture of a girl with a smile being handed a pile of cash. Safe and completely consensual sexual research being done. You will be paid on the spot. Please visit our website for reviews, with an email and a phone number listed as well.
Tabitha couldn't take her eyes off the picture of the girl. S&M, probably sadomasochism. She had some experience with it recently, the girls all watched 50 Shades of Grey obviously, but there was a boy she was seeing casually who professed to liking all sorts of kinky things. The idea turned her on tremendously.
She hesitated, she could feel her heart beating, the sound of the TV show seemed to become distant in the background.
She reached for her MacBook and pulled up the website. It was a well done page, full of testimonials and offered a wide selection of classy but erotic photos. The intent was obvious. But she kept seeing fairly large dollar amounts listed.
"What to expect" she clicked on the tab. At S&M Research, we are sexual research company. Your information will be kept confidential. We are highly trained and highly professional. You are able to select what research you will participate in and how far you want it to go. And yes, you will be paid well. Each session will be recorded, you will be paid an increased amount if you choose to make the session available.
"It's got to be a porn company," Tabitha said so quietly, she was pretty sure Sam did not hear her.
Her heart raced.
She clicked on the "Contact Us" - she slowly clicked through and completed each field, First name, Gender/Sex, Best Contact Number or Email, etc. Her mouse hovered over the "submit" button for what seemed like hours, but was likely only a couple minutes. Click. The next screen, "Thank you so much for your application. We will reach out within 24 to schedule your appointment."
Tabitha spent the next hour or so looking through all the testimonials. She also found the paid members section. That was likely where the videos were available. She could feel her pussy getting wet. Tough times called for tough measures. With that she closed her computer, gave Sam a quick kiss and headed off to bed.
Tabitha woke up from a serious of really fun but intense dreams, which now she couldn't remember. It was Wednesday morning, no classes today. No work today, and she only had a bit of classwork to do. She went about her usual mid morning routine, coffee, shower, bowl of cereal and then sat on the couch and opened up her computer.
Immediately she saw the email notification from S&M Research. She clicked on it, already becoming nervous again. "Thank you for reaching out! We'd be delighted to meet with you and have several openings as early as Wednesday at 1pm. Please give us a call" with the number and an address listed. Sam was still sleeping, so she definitely didn't want to wake her.
Tabitha stepped out on the apartment and walked down to the street. She carefully brought the email back up on her phone and called.
A female voice answered the phone, "S&M Research Group, Cynthia speaking, how may I help you?"
"Umm, hi, yeah," Tabitha's voice was feeling weak, "I got an email this morning about a possible appointment later today."
"Oh sure, what's your name?"
"Tabitha."
"Tabitha, oh here, perfect. Yes we have several openings today. 1, 4 or 8 pm. Which one works best for you?" the voice was soothing.
"Umm, I guess 1 today. What should I expect?" Tabitha was shaking.
"Great question, and I totally understand your nervousness. Don't worry, we're all very professional here, and we'll certainly do our best to make you comfortable. When you get here, you'll fill out some paperwork. Then next you'll be able to choose your researcher, we want to make sure you're enjoying the experience too, so we try to match you up with someone that you fancy. Finally, we have a selection of research projects we're looking to do, and you'll be able to select the one that works for you! All in all, it usually takes about 2 or 3 hours in total. Easy peasy. Any questions?" Cynthia asked after she ran through everything. Tabitha felt way more at ease.
"Uh, like how much can I anticipate making today?" Tabitha said feeling excited suddenly.
"Really it depends on what research you want to participate in. They range from a few hundred dollars, to several thousand. And don't forget, you get $50 for just completing the application!" wow, Tabitha had no idea! Perfect.
Tabitha ran back into the apartment. Sam was up and about now, "Sam, can you do me a huge favor?"
"What's that Tab?" Sam was pouring herself a cup of coffee.
"Can you take me to an appointment at 1pm, and then pick me up around 4ish?" Tabitha asked, deciding she was going to fully commit.
"You got it babe," Sam went about her usual business and didn't ask any other questions. It sounded rather mundane really, so Tabitha wasn't surprised. Just an appointment.
'What to wear?' was the next questions. Tabitha went to her closet. She wanted to look good, if she was being filmed after all. Probably a skirt or a dress, but nothing too skanky, maybe like a first date outfit. She moved some clothes around and ended up landing on a spaghetti string gray top that was fairly light, but combined with a cute white bra certainly looked the part. For her lower half she picked out a knee length white skirt made of cotton with lots of pleats. She looked cute, that's for sure.
The time between was a blur, she worked on some school work and basically killed time until she found herself at the building for the appointment. It looked like a professional office building at least, she got worried as they were getting close that it would be in the back of a porn shop or something. Then she would have some real explaining to do. But, as it stood, she thanked Sam, hopped out of the car and headed in.
The office complex looked fairly normal, with several other businesses located inside. She felt very at ease, even though she was heading in to do her first porn. She laughed a bit as the thought went through her head.
'S&M Research Group' she found the door with the sign. Pretty unremarkable really. She looked down at her self and smoothed her skirt out, then opened up the door.
For some reason, Tabitha wasn't surprised by what she saw. It looked just like a doctor's office. There were magazines on the table, some chairs, a couple closed doors and a sliding glass window with a really attractive lady sitting on the other side. The lady looked up and smiled at Tabitha who was about 5 minutes early. The glass window slid open, "Tabitha?"
"Um, yes, hello. You must be Cynthia?" Tabitha asked as she made her way into the waiting room.
