Zeus plodded into the IHOP, his usual outfit of a large jacket and sunglasses on, and headed for his usual booth. He was tired, and bouncy a little. His body was moving slow, after a first day of returning to work, and his mind was bouncy and active, since he had worked on some awesome problems and so had to stretch a little. So he plodded along.
Until he saw that his booth was taken. The shock of it ran through him like electricity and he gaped. And the second shock followed the first. It was someone he had seen before, a hooker from a street he sometimes passed on the way to work! The same one he had seen a week ago in the local sex shoppe. Who was gorgeous.
Whoah. he shivered, realized he was staring and turned to try to find another booth and not stare. And of course faceplanted right then, right in front of her.
Laura was relaxing, enjoying her dinner. IHOPs were great, always open, and the food was always very filling. She noticed the man staring at her, so she took great care to eat sexily. She looked down when he face planted. “Are you okay?”
“Yeah. Okay. Sort of. Just a minute.” he groaned and slowly rose. “Yeah, o-okay good!” He smiled at her, blushing. “Sorry. J-just recognized y-you and got... I don’t... ah, always do... well?” He blushed more.
“Have we met?” Laura asked, curiously. She didn’t think he was one of her clients. She motioned to the other half of the booth. “You can sit with me, if you want.”
“N-not really. I walk and take a car through the area you work.” His voice was soft. He gaped a moment as she offered for him to sit, and then he nodded, sitting slowly. Wow! “And, ah, I saw you at the sex store last week, or so.” He nodded. “You’re hard to miss.” He smiled lopsidedly, hoping she would not be offended, as he took refuge behind a menu. Mmmm, waffles.
She laughed a little. “It’s my job to be noticeable.”
“W-well, yeah.” He blushed and grinned. “You do it w-well.” He eyed the waffles and eggs combo and nodded. Mmm, all the things. “MInd if I order now? I am starving!” he glanced up at he, blushed, and glanced down again.
“Go ahead.” Laura motioned to her plate, which was still half-full. She went back to eating, examining Zeus a little. “So do you want to hire me, or what?”
He ordered, waving down a waitress and ordering a bunch of food, then sat back. When she said that, he coughed and choked and his heart pounded and he stared at her, his whole face going purple. “I--- Ah-- no, i---” He felt like he couldn’t breathe as panic hit him. What? How? What was---? The room was doing a little spinny thing...
Laura stared as he had an intense reaction. Not knowing what to do, Laura threw her glass of ice water on his face, to see if that would help.
And cold freezing water and ice hit him in the face. He jerked back, slapped his head against the booth wall and yelped, then clutched his head. But at least the room wasn’t spinning. “Ahm, no. I just meant to say hi. I mean... hi.”
Laura stared at him. “What was that?”
Zach sighed and spoke. “I, ah...I have acute anxiety disorder.” he swallowed, staring at her, and smiling sheepishly. I freak out when I get too anxious. My body and brain shut down. Sorry.” He smiled a little more.
Laura nodded. “Does sex make you anxious, then?” That was essentially what he was saying, right?
“The i-idea of it, yes, of trying to do that, or thinking about that with someone, y-yes.” The fact he managed to not faint while talking to her about this was progress. He was however breathing heavier and blushing purple.
Laura nodded. “Do you like animals?” She didn’t want him to pass out. It would ruin the conversation, and her dinner.
“I do, and computers and stuff like that.” He smiled at her. “I’m a computer engineer. I help maintain a hardstack, a mainframe and network framework for a business.” He rubbed his nose. “I don’t have a pet, but only because I work a lot and have little room.”
Laura nodded. “I don’t know much about computers. I know people use them a lot.” People liked to talk about their interests, and she liked to listen.
He smiled. “Why not? What kind do you have?” He had no clue how people worked sex work. He imagined all sorts of computers in it, but that was his sort of brain.
Laura shrugged. “I don’t even have a cell phone.”
“We s-should fix that. It could help out your business to have both. I c-could make you a rig and rig you up a cellphone.” He nodded. It would be a fun project.
Laura contemplated that. “Hey, could you help me set up a business to be a dominatrix?”
Zach choked on his water, hyperventilated, then pounded the table. After a waitress ran over and he got more water, and breathed into a bag, he was slowly okay. he nodded, slowly ”I can, yes. We’ll need a lawyer though, for all the legalities. Since you can be one of those legally.” He nodded. “But I can set you up. In person or web personality?”
Laura watched in vague amusement. He was obviously okay after a few seconds. She felt really bad for him. He was what, sixteen and hyperventilating at the thought of sex? How terrible. “Web?”
“The internet. You can make a lot of money by interacting with people, recording some video or audio recordings, and being all dominating-like. And a lot of people do.” He fished his laptop out of his bag and soon had it booting.
“I’ll show you.”
Laura switched sides to sit next to him. “Is it easier than doing it in real life?” She had no idea what the Internet was really for or about.
Zach brought up some websites with dominatrices on them and showed her the free sections, then the list of features in the member’s sections. “I suppose, but with less satisfaction, I can imagine. Not sure, really.” He grinned at her. “I never tried to run one.” For the moment, he was all about the computer and the web, and all anxiety was aside.
“If it’s not fulfilling, I can do real life stuff on the side.” She peered at the computer, fascinated. “How do these ladies get johns?”
“Very true. A lot of professionals say on the blogs that they do both, see?” he pointed ot the about section of one dominatrix’ site. “Some just post and wait, and get them by people googling. Some advertise, and some have code monkeys who plants words people commonly search for in their background site, meaning that searching can lead there despite not meaning to.”
“Oooh, sneaky.” She looked at the sites a little, bewildered. “You would get a share of the profits for maintenance, right? Like a pimp, almost.”
“I suppose so, but less in the owning way and more in the assisting way.” he nodded, thinking about what it would take,” he grinned at her. “Otherwise, a lot of it is just looking stuff up, then recording pictures and sound bites and videos of you.”
Laura nodded. “I assume you won’t be able to help with that.” He couldn’t even talk about it, outside the sterile context of a business discussion. At least he wouldn’t try to rape her. That was reassuring.
Zach chuckled, blushing. “Ah, no, not the doing, but I could, ah cut the videos and pics and audio bites for the site and upload them and maintain them?” He swallowed then smiled to her, sweating a little, pale. “Porn I can handle, just... real life sex with someone I know? I have no idea.” For all he knew he could deal with it, but the anxiety was already making his heart pound and he sipped his water as he tried to relax.
“I actually think I know someone who would be willing to help, if I can find her again.” This was a step up from hooking, right?
Zach nodded. “But y-yeah, to start with, you’ll need equipment and a place to do all the recording, then a website to u-upload. I can do the uploading and the website.” he flushed. “I mean, if you want. I- ah, don’t want to assume.” He thought it would be cool, plus, you know, free porn.
Laura shook her head. “I don’t mind. I’ll need your help a lot for this. Can you put together a list of what I’ll need?” She was sure she could find some help for this, from someone or other. Even a rich sucker taken in by her beauty would be a help.
“I can do that.” Zach nodded and started a doc file, typing out things rapidly. A list soon took form of items for the filming, the recording, and the checking up, including a phone and computer for her, cameras, tripods, a digital audio recorder, and cables. Not to mention toys, a bed, and proper bedclothing.
“There. Expensive, but not too bad, if you work at it over time, not try to get it all at once.” And he would help.
Laura nodded. “I have some savings. You never know when you’ll need to leave town. I can just work a little more and build it up faster.” She hoped the side business would give her more savings over time, so she could afford a more stable lifestyle. Jubilee was partially right, she did need to think about what she would do when she wasn’t pretty enough to get johns anymore.
“Okay.” He smiled at her, not thinking of what she was or anything, just of a new friend he would be helping. “This could be fun!”
Laura nodded. “I hope so! I’m Laura, by the way.”
He stuck out his hand to her. “I’m Zach. Nice to meet you, Laura.” he grinned. This was going to be an adventure!
