Everything has a price... and I could pay it.
When you become a millionaire through your own merits your view of the world... changes. The world becomes a cold, grey and cruel place, where the competition is brutal and there aren't any good men left. Everything's business, unfair competition and... a lack of humanity. So, bit by bit, my heart grew icy and suspicious.
But even so, every man has his needs.
That's where Melissa comes in. Dazzling, stunning and astute, she was one of the competition's models, but there she was, with my girls, talking like another of them. Innocent, pure. So I went in for the kill. A month with her, that's what I purchased. A month of her work, her time, her life. She wouldn't do anything she didn't want to. That was the agreement.
And of course, I put it to good use. Melissa had never been submissive before, but she learned quickly. She wanted it, I needed it. Her breath burned, mine chilled. Her eyes pleaded, mine devoured.
For the first time in a long time, I felt alive. That longing, profound and all-consuming, ready to destroy the world if necessary. And then, when I almost thought I had her, everything went wrong. Or almost. I was going to have to show her. More. And really leave something more than red marks on her backside.
She was going to be mine, even if it was the last thing I did in this life.
