From part one....
“What
did you think, Simone?” Paul’s sudden
appearance startled them both. Matt had
to steady Simone’s glass in her hand to avoid a spill. Paul held out his hand and helped Simone to
her feet. He over-compensated her weight
and pulled her into him. Simone felt
Paul’s excitement through his trousers. He
smirked confidently but pulled away slightly when Matt slid his arm around her
waist protectively. Paul continued to
stare through Simone. “Well? What did you think? My father is always looking for new and
interesting acts and this was their audition.”
Simone
could not be more uncomfortable in the moment, virtually sandwiched between
Paul and Matt with her hormones raging in response to the performance she’d
just witnessed. It took several moments
to formulate an appropriate answer. “I
thought it was interesting. They clearly
have some talent to be so believable in their actions but I would want to see
what else they are capable of before giving my answer.”
Paul
and Matt broke into laughter. “Well
said, Simone, well said.” Paul continued
to chuckle as he walked off.
“What
did I say?” Simone looked up to Matt,
confused.
“His
father is in the adult entertainment industry.”
Matt’s mixed amusement and disgust softened the blow.
“Really?” Simone wondered about Paul even more. “I had no idea.”
“Among
other things.” Matt took her wine glass
and set it on a nearby table. “He’s made
good money in the entertainment business in general but a portion of his wealth
has been obtained through less than honorable industries. In fact, Paul’s stepmother is an ex-actress
of the adult variety.” Matt nodded
toward the far side of the room where Kyra was entertaining a throng of guests.
