I can’t believe it. All the terror, and it was there the whole time. I can be Holly again, just so long as people still want to use me.
Ifthey want to use me.
If feels like it’s gonna be a big if.
I might never get any proposals again if clients have recognised me, and I’d understand. I truly would.
Luckily, I don’t have long to worry. The first proposal lands in my inbox within seconds, and my jaw drops open in shock.
Holy hell, I’m back in action, and Connor can go fuck himself. No matter how scared I am, I’m going to get back out there and take my chances!
My fingers are quaking as I call up the proposal, and I click accept before even reading it through.
Yeah. I got this.
It’s time to be myself again, whatever the goddamn consequences.
CHAPTER TWO
User 2644. Male. 38.
I need to unload, and it’s going to be hard and brutal when I do. I’m done with leeches, and hangers on, and suckers up, pretending to do me service. I have to take their bullshit in the boardroom every day, and take their crap every second I’m outside of it. That’s the thing with money. Everyone wants a slice of your pie.
For once, I want a different slice of someone else’s and to savour every mouthful. What I want is a slutty pie like yours.
I need a whore who knows how to be a whore, not afraid to do what they’re paid for. A hot, dirty, kinky goth slut who can handle what she promises.
Based on your reviews and the vast amount of services you offer on your naughty list, I know you’ll fit the bill, hence I’m more than happy to pay yours.
I expect you to give me the respect a client deserves. Holes on offer, spread wide, not abashed or shy in giving service. I love anal, throat fucking, and pounding wet cunt. Expect it rough. Hair pulling, hand slaps and wrists pinned tight, yet you’ll give me nothing but moans of pleasure in reciprocation.
Give me what I need, Holly and deliver the goods. Earn another of your golden five-star reviews.
Duration: Three hours
Proposal fee: £4500.
Ican feel the very tension in User 2644’s words. His pent-up frustration is so fierce that it emanates from the text. It suits me just fine. I’m definitely a girl who can take it.
I read his proposal over and over on the way to Ekert Corporation’s Head Office, trying to keep my mind on track and away from any paranoia. The city roads are quiet at almost midnight, and that helps, just a little. Small steps will eventually reach their destination, even if they are on shaky legs. I read that in one of the self help books I’ve been reading.
This feels like the best self help I can give myself.
I was a quaking mess when I waited for the cab down the street from our Airbnb, freaking out that the driver would recognise me and call up a news outlet right off with anI found Ella Edwardsannouncement, but he barely gave me a second glance. He entered the postcode of the destination without hesitation, no questions asked, and we set off on our merry way. I could have cried with relief.
I take another look at 2644’s proposal. I am indeed going to give him the respect a client deserves. I’m going to earn my five-star review, no question.
And more importantly than that, I’m going to enjoy it.
I’m free to be Holly, if just for a few hours. Cake Baker can fuck off. I want the mindless purity of serving a client’s wishes as they revel in my skill. It will give me enough joy to set mysoul alight, so User 2644 is in for a real treat. There won’t be any fakery going on here.
I want a whore who knows how to be a whore, not afraid to do what they’re paid for. A hot, dirty, kinky goth slut who can handle what she promises.
Based on your reviews, I know you’ll fit the bill.
I’ve made sure Holly is dressed up nicely for him tonight, matching my profile. I’m wearing black lacy lingerie under the tight satin purple of my dress, wrapped up neatly beneath my long leather coat. My stilettos are gloss black with red soles. My lips are scarlet to match, and my catflicks are spot on.
Not only have I dared to step out into the world tonight, I’ve been daring enough to look like my true self. So far, so good.
