IN THIS CHAPTER: Lilly, desperate not to return to her apartment, reaches out to Thomas and Michelle, an American couple she met the previous night. Over lunch, Lilly comes clean about the contract she's signed. Thomas and Michelle present Lilly with a gift. Lilly and Michelle share a stall in the restroom and Lilly's pussy is stuffed with a new toy.

"Hello?"
"Hi, Michelle?"
"Yes."
"It's Lilly."
"Hi, Lilly! How are you?"
"I'm okay, thank you. How are you and Thomas?"
"We are good. A little depressed since it's our last day in Europe. But being with you last night was such a great way to end our trip."
"I had fun, too."
"Honestly, I didn't think we'd hear from you."
"Yes, well, my plans changed."
"What happened?"
"My boyfriend. My boyfriend's mother fell ill."
"Oh, I'm sorry to hear that."
"Yes, he...um...he had to drive to France to see her and I was wondering if you...if you and your husband were still available. If you'd like to...see me."
"I have to admit that seeing you again would be lovely. Last night was a lot of fun. Hold on a moment."
Lilly stood on the corner just down the street from the American couple's hotel. It had started to rain and she ducked beneath a flower shop awning. In her ear she could hear the muffled sounds of Michelle speaking to her husband. Finally, Michelle asked, "Are you there?"
"Yes."
"Thomas said our flight back to the U.S. leaves very early tomorrow morning. We have to head to the airport at five. But he said he'd love to fuck you again." Michelle laughed. "His words, not mine. I don't have the same equipment he does, but I'd enjoy spending time with you as well." Whispering, she said, "Honestly, Lilly, you're one of the youngest and most beautiful women I've been with. We usually...fool around...with women or couples our own age."
Lilly blushed at the compliment. "Thank you. That's nice of you to say. Seeing you both again sounds lovely. I'd like that, too." But her motivations went deeper than spending time with the couple. She was worried someone in Rebecca's employ might visit her apartment and force her back to the estate. And yet, as that thought crossed her mind, Claire stirred.
"Goodie! We are so excited," said Michelle. "When do you want to come over?"
"Can we meet for lunch first?" She was hungry since the last food she'd had was breakfast and her time with Francesca and the law clerk had been taxing.
"Sure, I'm starving and Thomas is always ready to eat. Where?"
"I know a little place around the corner from your hotel, Bistro Oui." Lilly gave Michelle the address.
"That sounds great." Then Lilly heard Thomas' muffled voice. Michelle came back on: "Thomas asked that you not wear panties."
Her panties were currently on Francesca's desk. "I think I can arrange that."
Michelle made a kissing noise on the phone. "Oui! Oui! See you in a few."

Bistro Oui stood like a cheerful beacon set amidst the gray and rainy afternoon. Although all of the outdoor tables were empty and the patrons had moved inside, golden light spilled from its large windows, throwing a pleasant yellow halo around the tiny building. Lilly stood just inside the door waiting for a table to clear.
Her long auburn hair was frizzy from the damp and she hadn't bothered to put it back in the bun she'd worn it in earlier. Francesca's law clerk had yanked it free while fucking her against the windows of the lawyer's office. The black thigh highs she had worn to the appointment were in a waste basket. They had been stretched and snagged during the meeting.
A table opened up in a tight corner and Lilly made her way across the cafe's small space feeling exposed; as if everyone knew what had taken place in Francesca's office. She took a seat with her back to the wall so she could see when Thomas and Michelle arrived. A server came and she ordered a bowl of Swiss Barley soup, a baguette and hot tea. She was chilled to the bone and hugged herself to keep warm.
It felt like the walls were closing in and returning to her tiny apartment was the last thing she wanted to do. But she had no place else to turn. Her now ex-boyfriend, Sebastian, wasn't picking up his phone and he was really the only person she knew well enough in Lucerne to reach out to. Then she thought of waking up this morning to Thomas's warm hands on her body and Michelle's plain but very pretty face. They had traded numbers when parting ways after an intense night of pleasure.
Lilly saw them enter the cafe. She waved to get their attention and they came over with wide smiles. She stood and they hugged and it felt good. Michelle appraised her and said, "Gosh, Lilly, you look like a drowned rat." Then she caught herself. "But a very pretty drowned rat."
"The rain just caught me by surprise." What she wanted was a warm shower and thick robe to bundle in. The suit she had worn to meet with the lawyers didn't provide any warmth. The hip-hugging pencil skirt didn't fall very far down her thighs and the single button blazer exposed most of her breasts due to the open-cup shelf bra she wore beneath it. The garment pushed her tits forward dramatically and in the chilled air, her upturned nipples were obvious even though they were tucked behind the suit jacket.
After the server took the couple's order, Thomas said, "We brought you a present."
