Uh, hi. I didn’t realize I’d get a tour guide.
PrettyPenny:
Oh yeah, anyone who signs up with the premium account gets assigned a liaison. I like to think of myself as a built-in bestie. I’ll show you the ropes, get you all set up, and make sure you know how to keep yourself safe.
Merri-Go-Round:
So you’re being paid to be my friend?
PrettyPenny:
Well, when you put it that way, it sounds icky. Let’s think of it more like a buddy system. Same as you might get at any 9 to 5. We chat around the metaphorical water cooler, lunch together, gossip about the assholes we work with/for.
Merri-Go-Round:
I guess I could use someone in my corner.
PrettyPenny:
Can’t we all? Now, tell me everything there is to know about you. I was serious about the built-in bestie thing.
It tracked. The way Auntie Lilith doted on me said the succubus would have absolutely set me up with the best, most supportive account level offered by TwoLips. She wanted to ensure I was successful. One, because if I wasn’t, I might kill her clients on accident, and two, because I could tell she really wanted to take care of me. Andi was a welcome ally in a very small pool of positivity.
Just as I prepared myself to answer her question, a prickling at the back of my neck made me pause. I felt like I was being watched.
Turning my head, I glanced over my shoulder.
No one there. My room was exactly as Lilith had left it.
Frowning, I turned back to the screen, my unease only growing.
Something was off. This wasn’t how the memory was supposed to go. This hadn’t been what happened.
PrettyPenny:
So, have you ever done cam work before?
Merri-Go-Round:
No, this is all new to me.
PrettyPenny:
From the look of you, you’re going to be very popular. Take some time to peruse the other profiles on here. With your membership, you will have access to everything everyone posts. It’s a perk. Learn from them and figure out what you like and don’t like, then go from there.
PrettyPenny:
Though, if you want some unsolicited advice, I suggest you stick to the naughty/innocent thing. You have the face for it, and it drives them wild. You’ll have to beat off clients with a stick. Don’t pigeonhole yourself, though. Branch out every now and then, it’s important to appeal to as wide an audience as possible. That way when your regulars aren’t available, you still have income.
She had no idea money wasn’t even on my mind. The only currency I dealt in was lust.
That uneasy creeping along my spine started up again, causing me to sit up straighter and glance around. Who the fuck was here?
That was when I caught him. Malice. He was there, like a ghost in the corner of my vision. I could feel his specific energy, oddly comforting even though it shouldn’t be.
“No!” I shouted, shoving at him with my mind. He didn’t get to have this memory or any other without my permission. No one did.
“Get out of my head!”
