The Man Who Would Pay - 4
It was another month before I summoned up the courage to approach Daniel. A month in which I fucked four more guys picked at random from responses to my advertisement. Four times I'd gone out with Daniel snooping around. But If I was to improve my online presence, I needed him. He would have to think whatever he thought. I took the plunge on a rare occasion when he wasn't being annoying.
"I want you to help me."
Daniel was bouncing up and down on the edge of my bed as if he were auditioning for chief mattress tester at DreamCloud.
"How?"
"I want you to set up a website."
"What sort of website?"
I couldn't hold his questioning gaze and turned away. Stupid. It was a dead giveaway I was hiding something.
"A blank one. I'll put my own stuff in it."
He laughed at me.
"It's not as simple as that. For a website to be worthwhile it has to be tailored to the market you're going after."
I hadn't thought of that.
"Do you want personal or business? And there'll be a charge."
"I'm your sister."
"I didn't mean from me. The host site charges. It's not a lot.
Why don't you just use Onlyfans?"
I glared. Daniel looked ten years older at that moment. Where had the stupid little kid gone I could tease as much as he did me?
"Oh come on, Sis. You're taking sexy photos in your underwear. Now you want a website? You think I'm stupid?"
"Christ. You sound like dad there."
He'd already taken my photos and hadn't said anything. Should I just be honest? If he was involved, he couldn't grass me up. He was waiting in a serious silence for an answer.
"Okay. It's a... questionable website I need."
"As in sex, questionable?"
I hesitated.
"Yes."
"How questionable?"
"Very."
"That's not helpful."
I was crimson. A full-on display of freckles. Dots he only had to join up to realise what I was doing. I blurted it out.
"I want an advert for services. A classy one. But if you say anything I swear I'll fucking kill you."
Daniel hardly reacted.
"Fair enough. That's all you had to say. Not the bit about killing me though. Could have left that out."
Wow. He wasn't screaming at me or calling me names.
"You'll do it?"
"Yeah.
Just need to know what services. Are we talking photos, videos or..."
I stayed quiet. I didn't trust my voice not to shake.
Daniel rolled his head back.
"Okay.
So not just photos. Explains where you keep going to every week."
His eyes bore into me and I saw no point in trying to make it sound more savoury. It was what it was.
"Is it that obvious?"
"Just a bit. If it was a date you'd be out late clubbing or being dropped home. Not coming back at ten o'clock. It's like a two or three-hour thing. Almost as if it's... a booking."
I said nothing as his eyes searched me for telltale clues.
"Danica. You're doing it for money, aren't you? I've seen the fancy new clothes all of a sudden."
"It's not about the money."
"They're paying you for sex, Danica. Of course, it's about the money."
"It's not. It's about... the thrill."
"Of sex?"
I thought about it. Trying to work out exactly what it was about, to find words that described it.
"Illicit sex. Taboo sex.
Pushing the barriers. It's... fun. That's all. I won't do it for long."
Daniel still looked a lot older as he studied my face. I felt small under his gaze. He was making me face that I was prostituting myself. But I still couldn't feel shame. Was I abnormal?
"You like being a slut?"
I shrugged. He hadn't said it nastily. Almost as if he understood.
"Yeah. I like feeling... used. It's just a fantasy that's gone... further."
"And you can't get that with a boyfriend?"
"No. I can't explain it, but I don't want the intimacy. Just the... the act. I like that it's a little scary. That it's wrong. It just... makes everything better somehow."
This time I did look at him. I searched his face for any sign my baby brother was disgusted at his older sister. There was none.
He shrugged.
"People do far worse for thrills."
"So you'll help me?"
"Yeah. I'll do it.
How much are you making?"
"Last month. Five hundred. I saw someone every Friday."
"Wow. Five hundred from four guys.
For just a few hours work?"
I shrugged.
"Couple of hours for each I suppose like you said.
Don't worry. I'll pay you for the website."
"That's not what I was thinking.
Imagine how much you could make if say, you did it three or four times a week. You could give up your job. Get a place of your own and up your prices a bit. You'd make a fortune."
"Ha. Then I'd be a prostitute."
"Breaking news, Danica. You are."
That hurt. Mainly because it was true. I knew that, but hearing someone else say it was new. Strangely, Daniel still didn't seem disgusted.
"I'll only do it for a while. Then I'll stop."
"Why? You're doing it because you like it. Not to feed a drug habit or for some pimp. So what does it matter how long you do it for?"
I mulled that over in my head.
"I don't suppose it does."
I sat on my bed and snuggled up next to him, confident my secret would remain safe.
"Do a good job and you can be my pimp."
"Twenty-five per cent and the occasional freebie?"
"I like you at the minute. Don't spoil it."
Saturday came around and I'd taken another booking. How easy was this? I had my pick of men. I'd spent months frustrated before Lawrence. Now, when I got horny all I had to do was select the best-sounding offer and book a time. Sex on order. For both parties. When my website was up and running, it'd be easier to attract a nice class of people and avoid the creeps.
"How do I look?"
I made a sexy pose in another new dress before bursting into giggles.
"I'd do you." Daniel grinned flicking his eyes over me.
"And pay for the privilege?"
"If I had a job. Yeah."
"Perhaps I could do special rates for students."
"Discount for family members?"
"Ew.
I have to go. You can go jerk off in your bedroom."
I buckled up my heels and picked my bag up.
"Wish me luck."
"Enjoy."
Oh, I intended to do that alright. I was already breaking out in goosebumps. My knees were shaking with anticipation. And my fucking nipples were hard, pushing tightly against the material.
Downstairs. Mum and Dad were in the front room watching TV. They were oblivious to their daughter slipping out of the front door to be a lady of the night. I just hoped Daniel continued to keep his mouth shut.
I met this one in a hotel. A businessman in town for important meetings he told me. I just smiled politely over a drink at the bar. He was another one in his forties, but not unacceptable. A little more spread than Joe, and big generally. I was five foot, seven. And most men were taller than me. This one, Graham he said his name was, towered over me. If his cock was on the same scale, I might need helping back to my car.
The nerves of the first few times had gone. I still flushed and I still had butterflies, but now it was through hunger rather than fear.
"Wow. You look amazing. Your photos don't do you justice."
"Thank you."
"Drink first?"
"A gin please," I said drawing up a chair to sit next to him.
It was much as before. Small talk in which I gave little away. It was just the breaking of the ice while we both eased our nerves of interacting with a new acquaintance. Now obviously, for most people, that meant someone they'd talk to, have a drink with, or engage in some normal business. Not so us. We were going to fuck.
"Are you ready?"
I knocked back the last of my drink and retrieved my snatch bag from the floor. Time to deliver, or receive. My perspectives were fluid on that one.
"Can't wait."
That was true. I was like a dog on heat. A week of abstinence, apart from my pillow that is, and the promise of exciting new territory. I was salivating at the idea of sucking his cock, and my pussy was soaking my panties as my mindless little bean responded to the idea of rubbing over it as he fucked me.
Going to his room came with new sensations. I was walking through a hotel, past everyday couples. I was struck by how they were in relationships and had known each other for ages, while I was paid for company. They existed in the world of my Mum and Dad. One of happy families. An existence I'd once expected to follow and had actively sought. Until I'd played Lawrence's game and discovered there was another way to get my fun. I'd made my choice. I was with this man for a few hours, there only to be fucked. Then I would leave.
And so I found myself stripping away my clothes without fanfare or subtlety. My only intent was to be naked so that he had unrestricted access to my young body. But it was his that had my attention as I removed my final garment. I'd already registered that he was a big powerful man. As his clothes came away, I was conscious of how much bigger than me he actually was.
"Oh, good god. You're a big man."
