In Which Innocence is made more widely available and Dodie enjoys Innocence with a client.
Innocence had never known before as much wealth as her new pornographic career promised her, and she found herself and Dodie spending it with a wild abandon that was both reckless and, as it turned out, foolish. There was not only the extortionate rent she was paying for their expensive Congress flat. There were the income tax bills to be met. There were also the purchases on furniture, computers, audio and visual equipment, original paintings and decorator's bills. There were also expensive nights out in restaurants and night clubs. And all of these were purchased on credit meant to be paid by future earnings. However her income was much slower in arriving than the inevitable bills and she found herself worrying just how she could possibly afford all that she now owed.
She and Dodie spent a few distressing evenings in front of the log fire studying all the bills and calculating their future earnings on the spreadsheets of their notebook computer. The sums just did not balance. The choice was stark. Either she had to reduce the outgoings and perhaps pawn off some of their purchases or find a way of increasing their income.
"Perhaps I should sell my body," reflected Innocence sadly.
Dodie laughed, hugging her lover's naked body close to her and idly stroking her penis. "Don't be silly, sweetest! You already do that."
"No," said Innocence in deadly seriousness. "I mean prostitution. I mean selling my body for sex for immediate tax free benefits. I've had a few offers from escort agencies and brothels to service their clients. I've always ignored them, but perhaps I should be more open to it."
"Oh, don't do it!" Exclaimed Dodie. "I'd hate to think of strange men fucking you. I tremble at the idea of some fat overweight man's prick stuck deep inside your sweet arse."
"As you say, how's that any different to what I already do for a living?" Innocence asked Dodie. "Why not do it for the money I'd earn? It'd soon put us in the clear."
Innocence's lover couldn't dispute the truth of that, although she felt that somehow fucking in front of the camera was somehow more acceptable than doing the same thing in the capacity of a prostitute. "At least in fuck films it's a kind of make-believe," she claimed rather uncertainly.
It hadn't seemed like make-believe to Innocence whose penis and arse were often quite sore for days after a particularly gruelling filming session, but the two girls soon reluctantly came to the conclusion that it would indeed resolve their immediate cash flow crisis. The following day, Innocence telephoned some of the proprietoresses of brothels and escort agencies whose cards she'd retained when they'd been offered her. It wasn't too easy to find them all, as they were scattered about in several trouser pockets and handbags, and some had been used for shopping lists, roaches or for jotting down other people's telephone numbers.
The procuresses and proprietoresses all seemed delighted at the prospect of representing Innocence, and within hours she found her diary full of appointments at hotel foyers and at homes in very smart parts of the town. She dressed up in the expensive revealing clothes that she was advised to wear, including rather more underwear than she usually ever bothered with. As she pulled on the stockings and secured the garters she understood fully why she had never worried herself with them. Dodie was very dismissive of the image she was presenting: her face heavily made up and her hair tied back off her face.
