He is looking at me, clearly considering what to say next.
“What happens if the guy says he had issues? That it wasn’t your fault?”
“I still get the same results, no food.” I watch as he sits back. His eyes are on his glass.
“I’m sorry, I didn’t know. I don’t know how you got in. This is a private place, for those women who want to do it. You had to call in, what did you say?”
“I didn’t call in, I am guessing that would be his wife who did.” Of course, they can’t have me call in. I would have f****d up, and when he tells the owner, I am in s**t. Dean won’t like that I spoke. Why did I speak?
“Daisy.” I feel his hand grip my chin and force me to look at him. My eyes fix on his, they are grey. It’s weird, I have never seen someone with grey eyes, but they are amazing.
“I promise, I will not mention it. No one will find out what you have said, I swear.” He smiles at me and releases my chin.
I sit back relaxing slightly, my eyes looking across him, he is hot. A slight beard, almost like he has missed a few days of shaving, yet it is clear that is how he keeps it. My eyes look across his body, there are tattoos on his hands, and he is wearing a suit, so clearly has money.
I never normally look at the guy I am with. It is business. I go in, we have s*x, he leaves then I do. Yet, Demitri makes me smile, he is hot.
“Can I ask you a question Daisy? It may be personal.”
My eyes meet his. “Nothing of my life is personal Mr Devil.” I have no privacy.
“These, meetings, events. Where you are sold to guys, what is the usual routine?”
“The usual routine is I go in the room, he comes in. I take the lead, that is unless he requests to. we have s*x and once he is done he leaves. Just how s*x works.” I laugh slightly.
“That isn’t how s*x works. Have all your s****l relationships been ones where you were paid?”
I nod, to me, that is how s*x works. “I am sold, I’m not there to gain pleasure, to have fun. I am there to ensure he enjoys himself. I don’t have the right to enjoy myself.”
I explain it the best I can.
“Even if you’re sold for s*x, you should get pleasure Daisy, have you ever got pleasure from s*x?”
His questions are personal, these things I never get asked, other than by Dean and his wife. So, I guess they aren’t personal as personal things are what you have a choice in sharing, I have no choice. I learnt quickly, that Mary saying pleasure and business meant the man's pleasure. It was drilled into me, I was nothing more than a body for the man, and I shouldn't feel pleasure.
“I haven’t, it isn’t something I aim for or expect.” I can’t request it either as that will be breaking the rules. I sit and look at him as he stares at me shocked.
“By yourself?”
I shake my head. “I’m not allowed, any signs that I have and I get punished. My body was sold to Dean for him to use as he liked. I have no rights to it.”
“Bullshit.” His word shocks me. “You have rights to your body. As Dean will soon find out himself.”
I stand up and panic. “Please don’t!”
“Daisy, I promised nothing will be repeated from me. Let me explain.” His hand reaches mine and he pulls me to sit.
“In this city, very few agree with the arrangement of a child being their parents and legally able to lose their rights. Some do it here yes, but for the most, they don’t. Can I ask how much you get today after I pay?”
I laugh slightly. “I get nothing, no money is given to me.” He looks at me shocked, and maybe I should just shut the hell up talking but he is the only person to ever ask me about me!
“Those in this city who keep the rights to their children often use their children yes, but not like this. They may request that their child pay them a percentage of their earnings. The man who bought you will soon see, that this city isn’t like others.”
“How do you mean?”
“He will get away with it for some time Daisy, however, eventually, someone will stop him. Someone will question it, this city doesn’t agree with selling women to gain money, they can sell themselves, but no one else. Also, no one in this city takes the full money.”
So Dean left the city and came here. Does he know that they don’t follow the same rules, or does he just not care?
