Chapter I - Natasha Delacosta gets a phone call
Natasha looked damn good tonight, Marv thought. The eyes of the boardroom tracked her every gesture, the calculated swish of her hip, the casual shrug that lifted her shapely breast. The $12,000 Guicci suit brought out her curves with mouth-watering deftness, the short skirt and open blouse offering the barest hints of the lacy negligee Marv knew she wore underneath. Whatever the subject of her presentation was incidental -- by the time she was done, she would have them eating out of her hand. Another coup for Len Donnovan & Co. Another waystone in the upward rise of its beautiful CEO.
Marv let her presentation swell to it's climax, watched for the glint in her eye that he knew meant victory, and then he made the call.
Through the lense of his Cannon TX-11, he saw her freeze. Just a flicker in her confident mask; nothing the drooling old hacks in the boardroom would notice. He saw her smile disarmingly around the room, offer a gesture excusing herself, and then she was slipping gracefully out the white-paneled doors, hand moving to her purse.
A moment later, there was a click over the line, and he heard her voice, hushed in a fierce whisper.
"You fucking piece of trash."
"That's my girl. Knocking them dead in there, gorgeous."
"Fucking pig. What do you want?"
"Just wanted to let my best girl know that I'm proud of her. Those old scrotes look ready to toung your asshole. What the hell you saying to them?"
A pause. "Where are you?" She sounded unnerved.
"Oh, I'm always close. Got to keep an eye on you so bad men don't take advantage. You know that."
"I'm hanging up."
"The fuck you are." The words lashed out across the line, dripping with contempt. "You hang up on me, see what happens." Marv' lips curled in an ugly grin, showing yellow teeth.
From the other side, furious silence. But she didn't hang up. Rot snickered. "Thatta girl. Ain't I always said you were smart." He let out a long belch. "Now, how's about you and me get down to real business."
"You fucking pig."
"That's right girl. I'm a real life Fuckpig, and you've got me laid up with a powerful appetite. My office. 15 minutes."
He snapped the phone shut and let it fall into the greasy pile of waxy paper, french fries and stale mayonnaise in his lap. The El Camino growled to life and he pulled out of the parking garage, not hurrying. She wouldn't dare be late, but he could take his time -- after all, he was the one who called the shots. He had Natasha DelaCosta by the tits and she knew it.
It had started as a botched job. She had been only a junior executive then, ambitious, hungry, and utterly without scruples. She'd had her eye on higher stations, but there were obstacles in her way, among them the monolith of her boss, then CEO of Len Donnovan. She'd come to Rot with the job of sabotaging his career. He'd done it -- pretty damn well, too -- and when she'd come with his payment he'd laid out, step by step, the documentation for the whole process. Going public with the information would have ruined them both, so it was a kind of game of chicken -- but they both knew who had more to lose.
His price for silence wasn't just more money; that, she'd guessed from the outset. What she didn't know, that first night when he took her down on the floor of his filthy office, was that cameras were winking out at them from the desk, the shelves, the corners of the walls, capturing every heave of his bulk, every cry that escaped her lips. It was this that ultimately secured his hold on her. And every time he called in her endless debt, he added more hours of leverage to what he affectionately came to call his Wank Tank.
Blackmail was such a lovely word, he thought to himself.
When he reached the parking lot of his dingy two-story office building, her Lexus was already waiting for him. He grinned to himself, remembering the night two weeks ago when he'd forced her to drive them to a scrapyard out of town and spent the night trading her between the misanthropic trolls who operated the compactor. They'd left quite a mess in her back seat, he recalled, and snorted at his own double entendre. He made a mental note to beat off to the footage later in the evening. Maybe he'd even play it back to her as a special treat.
The elevator was out again. It took him almost five minutes to drag his bulk up the single flight of stairs to his second-floor suite, and he was panting and sweat-drenched by the time he reached his office. The door stood ajar, and for a moment he had the vision, not for the first time, of Natasha standing on the other side, the barrel of a revolver aimed at the crack, waiting to end things once and for all. But he knew better. The consequences for her, in the event of his death, were the same as if he ever decided to bury her. He gave a satisfied grunt and pushed on through.
She was standing by the window, half-lit by the amber light from the street. Shadows pooled in the hollows of her neck, traced the lines of her flat belly, fell along the inside of her thigh. Her thick, dark hair lay in ringlets around her shoulders, cascading over breasts held in a black lace brassier. He let out a gust of rancid breath. It is black, he thought with greedy satisfaction. I knew it was going to be black.
"Fuck you," she hissed.
