"Five million dollars a year. You divorce your husband
and come work for me exclusively for five million a
year."
"I just
"Ten million?"
She locked gazes with me, "You can't be serious."
"I trust you," I said. "I think.." She showed up at my
apartment to seduce me, obviously trying to sway me
to continue to employ the services of her firm. Of
course I trusted her enough to not do anything shady
behind my back! All I had to do was buy her loyalty.
That's what she said, right? "And I want you."
"There's better lawyers out there than me," she said as
she pulled her knees up under her chin.
"Yeah, but you're a good lawyer. And I want you."
Amusement danced in her eyes, "You said that. I'm
flattered that you value my expertise-"
"No. I mean I want you to be mine. My lawyer, and in
every other way. Ten million dollars a year, and you
wouldn't have to worry about anything. Just be my
lawyer, and be mine."
For the first time since I met her, Helen looked
completely at a loss for words. This woman - who was
technically old enough to be my mother (if she'd had
me at 15 years old), who had decades of experience in
the world of financial law, and more worldly
knowledge than I could have ever hoped to acquire in
my lifetime- was caught on her back foot. She was
naked, alone in the apartment of a man she'd met less
than 12 hours ago, and was being asked to leave
everything. The thought of having the ability to do this
to a woman like Helen made the wheels in my head
start to turn again... some of the scenarios I'd
considered earlier began to play out in my imagination
once more. If I could do this to a powerful woman like
Helen by just waving enough money around,
exactly what else was I capable of?
"I would need to think about it," Helen said. She sat up
and looked around the room, clearly looking for her
clothes. She was gearing up to leave, Would she tell
Karl or Roger about my offer? Would he talk her down?
"No. You leave here without giving me an answer, then
that's it." I didn't want to burn this bridge, but I wasn't
sure what else to do. Earlier, when I'd been going
through my list of people who could help me make
decisions, I'd come up with a big, fat zero. If I didn't
have anyone among my friends or family I could fully
trust that also had the capability of helping me make
good decisions, then clearly I needed to buy someone.
What better person than Helen?
Okay, so there were probably a lot of people better
suited than the wife of one of the partners of the firm
desperately wanting to keep my business. But I clearly
wasn't thinking with only my big brain. It'd been at
least 20 minutes since I'd last cum, and post-orgasm
clarity didn't last very long.
I had her attention though, so I kept talking. "I don't
want you to go to Roger and tell him about this. I
would rather just fire your firm, start with a clean slate,
and get my own person who works exclusively for me,
and have them manage my affairs." I forced myself to
keep my eyes locked on hers. It felt like holding a bull
by the horns to keep it from killing me.
"I like you, Helen. You're smart, beautiful, fun to be
around, and you make me feel good. I don't know if I
can completely trust you, but I think I can pay you
enough to buy your trust. You've said I should just
enjoy my inheritance, I want to. I've worked my entire
life so far, and I don't have much to show for it. I want
to have fun. I want to enjoy things, but I need
someone I can trust to make sure I'm doing it right."
I leveled my gaze at her, "I want you, and I want an
answer from you now. I can probably find someone
else, but you'd make it easier and a lot more fun. You
leave now, and this will be it. You agree to quit your
job and be mine... take care of me... and I'll take care
of you."
She just stared for a long moment. "I'm married," she
finally said.
"He told you to come here, didn't he?" I retorted. I didn't
want to
share Helen with Roger. Me fucking his wife was all
well and good,
but I hated the idea of sending her back to him.
She just stared, but the lack of an immediate denial
was all the answer I needed.
"Look, I don't know your marriage as well as you, but it
looks to me like you're a trophy or just some means to
an end... and that's fine If that's what you want. I'm
not hypocritical enough to realize that I'm asking you
for something similar, but that wouldn't be all there is
to it. Look, I'm trying really hard to not catch feelings
here, but it's really..." I couldn't bring myself to say the
word. I was sure it would run her off.
"It's really hard not to feel anything. But I just had the
best sex of my life, you're ridiculously hot, and you
have the knowledge and experience I need to make
things happen. You'd have a lot of power and stupid
amounts of money. Plus I'm wealthier, a lot younger,
and better looking than your husband."
Silence reigned for nearly a full minute as I let my
words wash over her. The seconds ticked by and each
one made the anticipation of her answer more painful,
but I wasn't going to break the silence. I would sit
there for 20 minutes if that's what it took... I'd just
dumped a lot on her, and if that's how long she needed
to reply, that's what I'd give her.
"Oh Marcus," Helen sighed and looked around the room
again, clearly working out her feelings on the matter.
"Honestly, the firm is the best thing for you," she finally
said. I started to reply, but she held up one well-
manicured finger, "But that's not to say your feelings
aren't unfounded. The partners have all become used to
the Gerrard estate. They're very comfortable with the
way things are and you're right... the account has
afforded them opportunities that would disappear if you
didn't continue to engage them."
That being said, they have people who have been
working with your assets for years, myself included.
You'd lose a lot more than you'd gain by looking
elsewhere'."
She hesitated before continuing, "But I understand your
concern. What about a compromise? I continue working
at the firm. It keeps your business, and you buy my
complete loyalty for the price you suggested."
"What do you mean?" I asked.
"It means that I continue to do my job for the
company. I continue to answer to the partners, but I
hold nothing back from you. I don't try to manage you
at all by telling you what you want to hear, which is
what would normally happen. I will tell you exactly
what's going on and give you the best advice can. You
get the best of both worlds-the infrastructure and
experience of YPV and my support, loyalty, and advice."
