This is Penny's story as told to me.
I knew our company was suffering from the COVID-19 crisis, but I had no idea how badly until Nic spoke to me about it.
"Love, I've been trying to keep this from you because I didn't want you to worry, but you need to know now. The shortfall in business has us on the brink of liquidation. We might have to to wind up the company," he told me.
"Well, I know it's our only source of income," I tried to comfort him, "but we've still got CB our family and our house and we're resourceful enough to come up with something new."
Nic couldn't look me in the eye as he told me, "That's just it love, things are so bad, I had to remortgage the house to keep the company afloat. With no income, the bank will foreclose and we'll be homeless."
'Shit!', I thought, realising the predicament we were in "What are we going to do? I could make loukomadies and kataifi and sell them at the local shops," trying to think how I could help.
"As fantastic as your Greek sweets are darling, they won't bring in the amount of cash flow we need. But there is something you could do to help. I know a couple who are good clients of ours and they run an introduction service," he told me.
"Are you serious? You're asking me to be a prostitute? Give head jobs in cars for $100? Bend over behind a dumpster and take it doggy style for $200?," I protested.
"No, it's not like that love. Their clients are high end with sophisticated tastes. You'd meet them at their homes or 5 star hotels and my clients say you could make up to $5,000 for one nightlong meeting, sometimes more. You'd just need to cater for their tastes," he tried to assuage me.
"Fuck off Nic! You still want me to sell my body like a common whore! I might be a slut, but I'm not a prostitute," and I stormed out, jumped in my car and went to the local pub, which I rarely do.
As I sat drinking an ouzo and coke I was fuming, but images and thoughts kept going through my mind. 'High end clients, catering to their tastes, $5,000 a night, being a filthy whore.' Those thoughts were having a very positive effect on my erogenous zones and I realised my pussy was wet.
I had a pretty good idea who the clients Nic was referring to. Of course,being the company's admin person, I talk to all of our clients on a regular basis. After a few more ouzos, I picked up the phone and rang Barb, a mature woman in her sixties, butlooked and thought younger.
I talked to her about normal business and was about to chicken out and hang up when Barb asked, "Has Nic talked to you about our other business proposition? Eric and I know you and Nic are in dire straits, but our business is flourishing. Lots of rich people staying at home getting bored and all that and they've been referring their rich friends to us. We can't keep up with supply!"
"Well," I responded, I initially told Nic to fuck off, butI have been considering it and I'd like to know more, but I don't want Nic to know that I've talked to you about it."
"Mum's the word, dear," Barb said in her old world style. "If you're free, I can get our chauffeur Charles to come and collect you and we can talk privately."
I accepted, I probably shouldn't be driving home now anyway. I would be way over the limit and the ouzo gave me the Dutch courage to talk more openly with Barb and Eric.
When I arrived, Eric and Barb greeted me with open arms, hugs and kisses and a large glass of wine. "We're thrilled you are considering our proposition Penny," Eric smiled as we sat in comfortable leather chairs, "I can tell you, you'll be very popular with a lot of our clients if you choose to join us. You're a very sensual, voluptuous woman."
That made me feel even more emboldened and proud. Barb said, "Eric is right, Penny. You'd be highly sought after and could command very high fees, but we want you to make your decisions, being fully informed and understanding our rules and safety measures. A bit unsexy, but they're very important, especially for your privacy and safety and that of our clients. So why don't we start with any initial questions you have?"
"Sounds good Barb," I said, "One thing that piqued my interest was that Nic mentioned that I would need to cater for your clients' special interests. What sort of things would that involve?"
"Good question Penny," Eric piped up, "Our clients' requests are very wide and varied. You will always be fully informed of their needs before taking a booking and we will never ask you to do anything you don't want to. We'll give you a list of requests we've received in the past and you can cross out anything you're not prepared to do, so we don't waste each other's time."
Barb took over, "Our service is popular and our clients are prepared to pay big dollars because we don't judge them for their interests and needs. Our employees tend to stay with us for a long time because we also don't judge them for what services they are or aren't prepared to provide. We keep our clients and employees safe, their privacy secure and we give them the respect they deserve. How does it sound so far, would you like to progress with an interview?"
"Yes," I replied, wondering what an interview might entail, "It sounds very good so far. What does the interview consist of?"
Eric responded, "We need to test your suitability. We don't want you to think we're a dirty old couple trying to take advantage of you, so you'll be paid for the interview with a $1,000 voucher at one of our client's specialist boutiques, whether you pass or nor not. A lot of candidates choose to use it to enhance their 'professional' wardrobe and accoutrements."
"I'll just clarify something that Eric just said," Barb interrupted, "We ARE a dirty old couple, but the rest is true." We all laughed.
Despite the hilarity calming me a little, I as very apprehensive about what would be required of me. I figured they'd want to see me naked, which causes me some embarrassment. I'm a big girl. I've had many compliments about my curvaceous and vivacious body, but I still feel insecure.
Barb said, "We need to see you naked, but to make you feel more at ease, we'll strip first. None of us are perfect, but our clients are not that shallow as to expect a glamour model and in fact, the majority prefer a 'normal person'. What they want is a sexual being, somebody who will accept them for what they are and what their needs are."
I watched as they unceremoniously undressed. Even up until now I hadn't thought of Barb and Eric in a sexual way. They obviously had no inhibitions or self consciousness. As they stripped, Barb talked.Maybe she sensed my apprehension and nervousness. "Keep in mind Penny, anything we ask you to do today will be nothing compared to our clients' expectations. If you're not able to do as we ask, you're probably not suited." That didn't really make me any more at ease, but it did make me determined to pass any tests they may have.
I'd never thought about Eric and Barb in a sexual way. They were simply people used our company's services. Even now, I simply saw them as business people who had found another stream of income. It was almost like Barb had read my mind.
As she exposed her smallish taut breasts, adorned with nipple rings, she said, "We're not just a conduit to connect people. We provide services to our clients as well." As she removed her skirt, revealing a cute, completely bare pussy, she continued, "We enjoy what we do and we're not in it to make huge amounts of money. In fact the modest 10% cut we take barely covers our costs."
I looked over at Eric who was now naked. He's a lean man with an impressive tool. I think my eyes widened when I saw it swinging between his legs. Barb noticed, "You can see why Eric is very popular. His equipment is obvious, but he has many talents," she giggled.
