"So, how are things at work?" Stacy asked her Mom.
Cheryl sighed. "Stressful right now, honey. I'm putting together a proposal for a big client. It would be the biggest deal I've ever pulled off. It would be huge for my career."
The forty one year old marketing executive rarely divulged specifics about her job to her daughter. But Cheryl had confidence that her nineteen year old girl was old enough to handle the facts of an adult working life. And Stacy, based on what she heard from her father Eric, had reason to believe that Cheryl wasn't above using her model-like body to 'seal' certain deals. She wondered if this was one of those occasions.
"Who is it?" Stacy asked before taking another bite of her bagel.
Cheryl's eyes lit up. "Paul Adams. You wouldn't know him, but he's the publisher of a whole bunch of magazines. If we can get preferred advertising space in those magazines, and a few positive stories, it would make my company the clear leader in the industry. We absolutely HAVE to close this deal."
Stacy could see her mother's excitement clear across the kitchen. She understood how important it was to her Mom, but wondered why people put themselves through such stress. Anyway, she was on a mission and wanted to sound totally supportive.
"Wow. I hope you get it. What's your plan?" Stacy asked.
"Actually, hon, that was something I wanted to talk to you about."
Stacy looked surprised. "Really?"
Cheryl walked over to the table and sat down. "Yeah. But if you don't want to do this, I completely understand."
When it was clear Cheryl wasn't going to go on, Stacy asked, "Do what?"
Cheryl played with a fork on the table. "Well, I thought...if you agreed to do it...that maybe you could go with me on Monday night when I meet with Paul again."
Stacy thought about what her Mom had said. "Go with you? And do what?"
Cheryl twirled the fork one time. "Just be there. Paul...well, he enjoys...he likes being around young, attractive women."
Stacy stared at her Mom. "You want me to fuck him?"
The sound of the fork dropping onto the table echoed throughout the kitchen. "No! No! No! Just go with me. Wear something...nice. Look pretty."
Stacy wasn't sure if she was relieved or disappointed. But she was intrigued by the offer. "And what will you do?"
"Wear something nice. Look pretty. Get him to sign a contract," Cheryl said with a nervous grin.
Cheryl could see her daughter contemplating. "I'll make it worth your time. I'll buy you anything you want."
Stacy smiled. "You couldn't afford it."
Cheryl laughed and said, "Within reason."
"All I have to do is be there?" Stacy asked again.
"Smile and be yourself. I'll do the rest and reward you later."
"What's this guy look like?" Stacy said with a mouth full of bagel.
"About fifty. Maybe younger. Actually, very good looking. You won't be disappointed...except in his age," Cheryl said.
"Age is no big deal," Stacy said, an image of her naked father flashing vividly in her mind.
"Good. You'll do it?"
"Yep."

Stacy didn't have to spend much time deciding what to wear on Monday. She had one, and only one, formal dress. It was black, sleek, and short. Stacy's blonde hair and fair skin contrasted beautifully with it. Her curvaceous body transformed the otherwise simple dress into a symphony of flowing curls and bends that ended abruptly midway down her luscious thighs.
Stacy was lucky. She inherited near perfect breasts, a diminished waistline and tight ass. She was a nineteen year old version of her mother.
Cheryl, for her part, went with a slightly longer dress that highlighted her breasts with a receding neckline. She would not have to lean much in any direction to give her potential client a substantial view of her tits. She had worn the dress on many occasions with other clients...with great success.
"You look great," Stacy said as the two women got into Cheryl's car for the short drive to the hotel.
"Thanks," Cheryl replied. "But he'll never look at me with you there."
Cheryl's eyes were aimed directly at the bottom of Stacy's dress, which barely covered her pussy as she sat.
"It's all I got," Stacy said in her own defense.
"If I get this deal, I'll buy you another one," Cheryl offered.
"If you get this deal, you won't want me in anything else next time," Stacy said.
"I don't expect there to be a next time."
Cheryl stared down the road, her nervousness rising in intensity the closer they got. By the time they pulled into the valet parking area, her palms were damp. She grabbed her briefcase and she and Stacy got out of the car.
Both of the valet assistants who opened the car doors stared shamelessly at the gorgeous women. Cheryl handed over the keys, got her receipt and tipped the guy she was dealing with. As the women walked into the hotel, several pairs of eyes followed them until they were out of sight.
Once outside Paul Adams' room, Cheryl smiled at Stacy, took a deep breath, and knocked on the door.
Stacy stood behind her Mom and off to the side so that, when the door finally opened, Cheryl and Paul could properly greet each other. He invited them in and Cheryl introduced her daughter once Paul had closed the door.
"It's a pleasure to meet you," Paul said, unable to keep his eyes from scanning the young woman's body.
Stacy may have been offended any other time, but Paul Adams was a very, very attractive man who appeared younger than what Cheryl had guessed his age at. He was dressed in a plain white shirt, open at the collar, and dress slacks. The man was in excellent shape, it seemed to Stacy, and she immediately was captivated by him.
"You, too. I'm a big fan of some of your magazines. When Mom asked if I wanted to meet you, of course I said yes," Stacy said, only half lying.
Paul led them into the sitting area of his suite. "That's kind of you to say. I'm glad Cheryl invited you. Please sit down."
Stacy and Cheryl sat on opposite ends of a couch, Stacy in particular crossing her legs out of sheer necessity.
"What can I get you to drink?" Paul asked. "Wine? Beer? Soda?"
"Wine for me," Cheryl said.
"Nothing, thank you," Stacy added.
"Are you sure?" Paul asked her.
"Yep. I'm fine."
He continued to chat while pouring his and Cheryl's drink. Stacy allowed Cheryl to carry most of the conversation, but Paul made sure she was included as well. He sat in a chair after delivering Cheryl's drink and effortlessly entertained the women.
It struck Stacy that this man was used to being in charge. He was confident and assertive. Yet, he must have been wonderful to work for because he was also very respectful of the women's thoughts. Not that Stacy had been around that many executives before, but she was growing to like Paul Adams more and more.
During the middle of a discussion about his magazines and how they would help Cheryl's company, Paul unexpectedly turned to Stacy and said, "We're always looking for new models. Stacy, have you ever modeled?"
Stacy's eyes widened at the unforeseen question. "Me? Are you kidding? I think Mom is a more likely candidate than me."
Paul smiled. "You're certainly both likely candidates. But I'm serious, Stacy. I've seen far less beautiful women in our magazines than you."
"Thank you," Stacy said shyly, fidgeting with the hem of her dress.
"Stand up, please," Paul said.
Stacy knew better than to make a fuss over it, so she obeyed. The look on her face was one of serious attention as she unconsciously pulled down on her dress once she was standing.
"Take off your shoes so I can see how tall you are without heels," Paul said.
Stacy didn't even attempt to lift her leg up so she could reach her foot. Instead, she used one foot behind the other to remove the shoes. As Paul expected, she was still slightly taller than average in bare feet.
"Turn around for me, Stacy."
As she began to turn, Stacy glanced over at her mother. Cheryl had a slender grin of approval, suspecting more and more that it was a good idea to bring her daughter along. When Stacy's back was facing Paul, she delayed for just a few seconds, and then continued around until they were looking at each other again.
"Yes. I think you have a future if you ever wanted to pursue it," the publisher said.
Stacy may have only been nineteen, but she wasn't stupid. She saw an opening and was going to take advantage of it. Whether she or her mother would ultimately benefit the most would be determined later.
Stacy walked straight towards Paul, attempting to move as erotically as she could in bare feet. She stopped when she reached his knees and said, "Mr. Adams, I'd be grateful to you for the rest of my life if you could make that happen."
Paul's legs were separated just enough for Stacy to be able to step between them. As she did, he pulled them apart another few inches. Stacy turned and softly sat on the top of his right leg.
