Page 10 of Elicit (Decadence After Dark)

“Only because we have different endgames.”

“I see.” She shifts in her seat uncomfortably. Maybe that answer was a little too cryptic. It’s not exactly like I can come right out and tell her Mansion is a cover for a covert operation.

“London.” Her unique name rolls off my tongue. “You will always be safe here.” I want to put her mind at ease. She’s in a new place, with a new boss, about to embark on a whole new occupational journey. Sasha captains one cruise ship; I command an entire fleet. “I understand the enormity of what this job entails. Of how much of yourself you have to give. It’s not taken for granted nor does it go unrecognized. The girls in this house are treated with respect. They’re the celebrity attraction and catered to as such. Do you understand?”

With wide, attentive eyes, she nods.

“Good. Now the formalities.” I pick up the ballpoint pen. “First and last name?”

“London Erickson,” she replies quietly. Almost timidly.

I scribble as she speaks.

“Age?”

“Twenty-six.”

“Last time you were tested?”

“Right before I left LA.”

“Everything negative?” I flick my eyes up from the paper.

“Yes. I have the results in my bag.”

I nod, appeased.

“Do you have any issues with having sex with a woman?”

“No.”

“A threesome?”

“No.”

“Foursome?”

“No.”

“Orgy?”

“No.”

“Submission or bondage?”

Again, she shifts in her seat, but her voice is firm. “No.”

“Anal sex?”

She shakes her head.

“Very good.” I check off all the boxes, with vivid images of fucking her while she goes down on another woman. The pen starts to slide through my sweaty palm. I haven’t been this tuned up over a woman since God knows when. Now that I think about it, probably never.

“All your earnings will go into an interest-bearing account. You won’t need much money while you’re here. Everything you need will be provided to you. Food, clothes, amenities. No cell phones, though. If you have family you want to keep in touch with, we have a line designated for that. We’re discreet. No exceptions.”

“That’s fine. I don’t have any family.”

Most of these girls don’t.
