"What do mean by I don't have to pay you?"
"You have me back. You own my pussy again. Not being able to sleep with you these past two weeks has been horrible. Let's go to bed."
"You only had one more paying customer to do tonight. Where did all this money come from? Did you do more paying johns?"
Millie took her eyes away from Ben. "Three," she said softly.
"That's...."
"A hundred fifty each. I was already out anyway, so I figured I might as well make some actual money."
"We might as well pay off this bill as along as we have the money. Are you thinking of becoming a full-time escort?"
"I'm not going to quit my job. I like what I do. It's important work. I don't want to give it up. Let's go to bed. I'll be careful not to hurt your face."
"I don't understand why Sam let you pay him off so quickly. The first night he just gave you away. You had one paying john the second night. I expected to be celibate for months, not just a couple of weeks."
"He had me every day. Please hear me out. We had help. The guys at work felt very bad about the situation. They felt guilty about letting me place the bet, especially Charlie. He feels he should not have placed it for me. They decided to be my paying customers, plus they told other men about me. Each one of them went into their own pockets to get me free from Sam. Everybody spent six hundred dollars so I could get one hundred taken off my debt. Their friends did the same thing. They had no obligation to help us. They did it because we're friends. I want to pay them back."
Ben took a deep breath. "That was very generous of them. I can't deny that. Are you sure friendship was their only motivation?"
"They admitted they all wanted to fuck me, but never expected to. In a way, I fell into their laps, or they fell into me."
He smiled. "I agree we should find a way to pay them back. We're talking thirty-six hundred dollars. It would take years."
"Or a couple of weeks. Less, actually."
"I don't think I'm going to like what you will say next."
"If you say no, I won't do it. Sam does want me to be one of his escorts. I said I would only do it in the evenings. He charges the johns three hundred and splits it with the girls. He said I could easily get four jobs a night. Even if I take Saturdays and Sundays off, we're looking at three thousand a week. We could be debt free in ninety days."
"Then you wouldn't be free from Sam."
