Luke arrived at the top floor of Β the high rise Frank Goodwin's office was at. The place looked really expensive. His friends were right, this was a huge company. The receptionist, a rather dashing looking man in his thirties, told Luke to head inside as Mr. Goodwin had been expecting him, and so he did.
"Good evening Mr. Goodwin! Thank you so much for meeting with me, it's a huge honor."
"Good evening to you too. Please, have a seat. Β I have a very busy schedule so you'll understand if I get straight to the point. I've looked into you, Luke. Your career had an almost unprecedented meteoric rise. Granted you are an exquisite thing, and your campaign shows you have the talent to back up those looks, one does not normally go from practically nothing to the top of the field without a little help."
"Yeah, it's been quite a rollercoaster ride. Things have really worked out for me I suppose."
"I also saw that your initial portfolio and all your earliest professional work was shot by Richard Miller. Brilliant photographer that man."
"Yes, he's really gifted. I met him at an event and he was kind enough to help me out at the beginning and mentor me. He really opened a lot of doors for me."
"It's a shame what happened to him. You wouldn't happen to have anything to do with it would you?"
"I'm sorry sir, I'm not sure what you mean."
"Well, from what I hear, the 9-1-1 call was made by a strapping young man who was with Richard at the time of his heart attack, and that Richard was naked on the bed when the paramedics arrived. It doesn't take a genius to put two and two together, Luke. I know he was fucking you in exchange for help in jumpstarting your career. He was probably fucking you too at the time of his heart attack. Β I would go so far as to say you were riding his meat when it happened, otherwise you would have been trapped under him given his size" followed by a villainous laugh.
Luke couldn't muster any words. He always struggled with the shame of his arrangement with Richard. He couldn't even muster the confidence to have sex with other people while it was going on. It being a secret, or at the very least something that wasn't talked about by people, always helped him cope. But Frank speaking about it so openly now petrified him.
Frank stared him straight in the eyes "To fuck someone into having a heart attack is very impressive Luke. It gives me high hopes for you"
Luke shuddered. They were so silent that Luke's gulp was audible to Richard.
"You understand what I am proposing, yes?"
Luke nodded.
"Good. But before you accept, there are some things we must discuss. I don't know what your arrangement with Miller was, but if you are to be with me, you cannot be with anyone else. You belong to me. Second, you must be available to me anytime I call for you. I am not unreasonable and will not call for you when circumstances are not fitting, but when I do, you must come and give yourself to me. Lastly, when you give yourself to me, you must give yourself fully."
Luke had hoped his friends were wrong about Frank. That the rumors about him were just that, rumors. But standing in front of him, hearing him speak to casually about these things, it looked more and more plausible that the rumors were true.
It was at this point Frank stood up and undressed completely, fully exposing himself to Luke. It was an atrocious site. He was old, at least seventy-five, but probably closer to eighty, and it more than showed. He was bald on top, with wisps of white hair crawling down the sides of his head. They say beauty is in the eye of the beholder, but this man was straight up hideous in the face. His features made him look like a mix between an ogre and the crypt keeper. And this was just his face! His body was humongous. Richard Miller would not look as obese standing next to this man. He had an endless amount of rolls and flabs that were both wrinkly and covered with gray hair. If Luke had to describe his body in one word, the word would be "walrus". His belly hung so far over his waist that Luke wasn't sure if he saw a penis down there. Looking at the full picture, in addition to the knowledge that he might have sexually harassed people before, Frank was the single most hideous and atrocious person Luke had ever seen. He was sure the disgust showed on his face because Frank suddenly gave a smirk.
"Can you handle it? Do we have a deal?" the old man asked.
Luke wanted to run. He wanted to run and never look back, but then things are never that easy.
Frank gestured towards his desk "That's your pay, should book this role."
