"Let's go over the rules so they're crystal clear. OK for me to record this conversation?"
"Yeah, sure" I said. The man standing in front of me was efficient and proper, almost lawyerly. He seemed like a guy who was very used to rules and ensuring that people followed them precisely. He held a clipboard with a few pages clamped to it, and he appeared to be reading from a checklist.
"Very good. I am Mr. Ross. You are Mr. Franklin, correct?." I nodded. "You attest that you are here on your own volition, that you have not been coerced or compelled in any way to participate in this contest. Please answer verbally for the record."
"Yes, correct Mr. Ross." Of course I'm here voluntarily. This is going to be the easiest dough ever made.
"Good. Next, you agree that this is a winner take all contest?"
"Yes."
"And you agree to post $275,000 in trust to my firm. This money, and the $275,000 from your competitor, less fees, will be held in escrow until the game is over. The winner of the game will receive $500,000, with the remaining $50,000 going to my firm, as the fee for running this contest. Agree?"
"Yes, agreed."
"Excellent. Please sign here."
I read the document. It appeared to be in order. I signed it.
"All right. You've read the Rules, but I am contractually required to read them to you, then to get your written and verbal consent. If you agree to these Rules, you will immediately transfer the funds. I also inform you that your competitor has already agreed to her Rules, which due to her sex are somewhat modified from yours. She has already posted the funds into our account. Upon my receiving confirmation of your funds transfer, the game will begin immediately. OK?"
So official and legal. "Yes, agreed."
After months of planning and anticipation, it was finally happening. This is really exciting. The ad had been on Marketshop:
Win a fortune the fun way
. I clicked on it and up came a picture of a young man with a shit-eating grin on his face. In the background was a picture of a woman in lingerie, not a bad lookin' broad I guess, standing with her hands on her hips and a big scowl on her face. So I called 'em up. They wanted to know a lot about me. Where I lived. What was my net worth? How much money did I have access to? Stuff like that. I wasn't comfortable answering all those questions right away. No sir. So they asked me to come in.
I did it. Right off the bat they did a credit check. They found every penny I owned. I'm doing OK, I guess. If I sold my condo, my car, all my investments, I could probably come up with $500,000. I was able to borrow about half that using those assets for this.
When they explained the Rules to me, it sounded easy. Too easy. So I took the Rules to a lawyer friend of mine. He looked them over and told me that it looked pretty tight to him. All you have to do is hold out, he said, and you win.
I had to win of course. If I lost this kind of money, I'd be in big trouble. It would really set me back. But how could I possibly lose?
Mr. Ross began to read from his checklist:
"Contest Rules
1. The contest takes place in a hotel suite consisting of a living room, a bedroom with a king size bed, a small kitchen with fully-stocked pantry, and a luxury bathroom. The bathroom door has been removed to eliminate physical barriers between the participants. The room is equipped with microphones and cameras. It is monitored during the entire contest;
2. The hotel suite is # 1504. The windows are shatter proof and do not open;
3. The door to the suite has been specially fitted with a magnetic locking device controlled by the supervising representative of the contest. No-one will be allowed in or out of the suite until the termination of the contest;
4. Unless the contest is won sooner, this contest will run for exactly 48 hours. Upon the expiry of said 48-hour period, the man undersigned will be declared the winner;
5. The contest is terminated earlier than 48 hours under the following conditions.
a. The woman has won the contest;
b. Either party requests exit from the room for any reason whatsoever prior to the expiry of the 48 hours, thereby conceding victory to the other party. The request to exit is made by pressing the red mushroom button beside the door. This will instantly release the mag lock and open the door;
6. Inside the suite is a woman, who was borne a woman. She has willingly agreed to similar terms as per this document, has signed her full consent, and has posted her competition funds into our escrow account;
7. You may conduct no violence, physical harm, or non-voluntary physical restraint of the other party of any kind. My firm will be the sole arbitrator to evaluate whether such actions were enacted;
8. The female wins upon the male having sexual intercourse with the woman to "Completion". Completion is defined as the man ejaculating into the woman's vagina, mouth, or anus. Simple penetration without ejaculation does not end the contest;
9. Should the man enter the woman, she may hold him there if she is able. She may do this with her arms, legs, hands, feet, or any other body part, but she may not use any other physical restraints, including but not limited to ropes, clothes, or sheets, unless the man verbally consents;
10. Should the man withdraw and ejaculate outside the woman, the contest is not concluded;
11. The man agrees to take 100 mg of Viagra every 4 hours during the contest;
12. The man may not masturbate or rub his penis on the woman (or on anything else) to ejaculation;
13. The man will be allowed to wear only the bathrobe issued to him, without belt. The woman has no clothing restrictions and has stocked the suite with many clothing selections;
14. You hereby declare that you are not gay and that you have normal sexual interest in women;
15. Any violations in these Rules will result in your immediate disqualification and loss of all funds deposited.
"Mr. Franklin, do you understand each of the rules as I have explained them to you?"
Lots of rules. But it still sounded easy. I was sure that the woman was probably going to be reasonably attractive. Probably beautiful. Nobody would have trouble resisting someone repulsive. But hey, all I have to do is not fuck someone for two days. How hard could it be?
"I agree," I said.
"As previously agreed, did you swallow at least 100 mg. of Viagra approximately one hour ago?"
I wasn't hard, but boy, it sure wouldn't take much. "Yes, confirmed" I said.
"Very well. Your assent is recorded and on tape. Please sign here." Mr. Ross presented me with the form with the Rules. I signed it. "Excellent. Now here is the site for the funds transfer. Please transfer the funds into our Escrow account."
I navigated to my own escrow account which I had set up for this purpose, entered the account information of the transferee, and clicked SEND. There. It was done.
"Very good" said Mr. Ross. I can confirm that I now have $525,000 in the escrow account. I will now transfer your $25,000 share to my firm's account." And with a few clicks, he did that. I observed and noted it to be true.
So that's it. God knows I have to win. Losing would be horrible. But that's good, right? More motivation not to be stupid. Who's gonna fuck someone with that kind of money at stake?
"All right, shall we begin?" asked Mr. Ross.
"No time like the present," I responded.
"Excellent." And with a flourish, Mr. Ross opened the door and I stepped into the suite. The door closed behind me, and the mag locks clicked into place. Let the game begin.
I looked around and immediately realized that I was fucked. Big time.
Standing by the bed, one hand on her hip, looking squarely at me, was the sexiest, most beautiful woman I have ever seen in my entire life. I am not exaggerating. She oozed sex from every square millimeter of her face and body.
Her platinum blond hair cascaded in thick curls to her tiny waist. She wore a form-hugging tank top, no bra, deeply cut to the biggest, roundest, most beautiful set of breasts I have ever seen. She had the face of an angel, big round green eyes, thick, pouting bee stung lips. She wore teeny cutoff shorts. Her long, athletic, tanned legs were clad in hold up fishnet stockings. She wore studded, shiny-black Loubouton spikes that added five inches to her six-foot frame. She was the embodiment of pure sex. She was the kind of woman that men jack off thinking about. The kind of woman who can get any man to do anything for her. That men fight over. Wage wars over. Standing before me was an apex sexual predator of the first order.
How the hell was I going to resist this creature? This woman was made for fucking. And her sole mission over the next 48 hours was going to be to fuck me. Half a million bucks, I said to myself, half a million bucks, over and over and over.
