A Trio of Potential

“Wow, look at this place!”

“It’s so big!”

“Is that a fire place?”

Barbara and Maya both gawked at the mansion as they were let in, plenty impressed with what they saw.

“This better not go past, four I have to pick my kid up from school.” Bethany on the other hand was not so impressed. The older woman looked up from her phone. “Oh, this is a porn shoot.”

Busted, Jim lowered his head. He’d kind of wanted the ease the girls into this.

“What?” Barbara and Maya’s mouths dropped open, and turned towards her. “How can you tell?”

Bethany shrugged. “I honestly can’t believe I didn't figure it out before I drove here. This all feels so much like porn, now that I’m thinking about it.”

“That’s disgusting!” Barbara cried.

“You lied to us!” Maya pointed an angry finger at Asmodeus.

The demon shrugged, and fell down onto the couch. “I don’t think we did. I believe we were intentionally manipulation your predisposed thoughts to our advantage. Not that I wouldn’t lie, because I would.”

Jim cleared his throat. He couldn’t believe this guy. “What he’s trying to say is that we pay $10,000 a shoot.”

“Yeah right.” Bethany crossed her arms, as the two younger girls dropped their jaws.

“All in the contract.” Asmodeus, pointed to a coffee table which creepily already had three contracts out and ready to sign.

The three women, rushed over to see, and sure enough. They were telling the truth, or at least if they weren’t telling the truth, they were stupid enough to bound their lie up in a contract.”You two must be idiots.” Bethany marveled.

Asmodeus put his hand to his non-existent heart. “We’re simply two men with a dream.”

“What’s the video?” Maya asked nervously. Asmodeus could already feel her morals crumbling under the weight of money. “Will we have to… you know… touch you guys?”

Jim stepped in. “Strictly solo stuff today. Strip, play with a few toys, talk dirty to the camera. That kind of thing.” You guys won’t even see a penis.

Maya bit her lip, and finally picked up a pen. “What the heck? I’m in. That’s so much rent.”

Our pure country bumpkin shook her head. “I’m sorry, I can’t. This would ruin my chances of getting into an actual movie.” The demon could sense that she wanted to, but her dream was overpowering her more base desires. How wonderful. It was going to be so delicious to fuck that dream to ****.

“We have a makeup artist who can disguise you. She’s a real whizz when it comes to that.”

“We do?” Jim asked, looking around the room.

“Sorry I’m late everybody, traffic was ****.” In through the front door came a juicy looking lady with pink eyes, leopard print hotpants, and a pair of cat eye glasses you could cut a man with. “Hello Jim, looking good.” She smacked on a wad of gum, and gave his junk a jostle as she walked on by. “Okay, let’s see here, what do we have to work with.” She approached Barbara, and started playing with her hair. “Mhm yes, okay. You’re a star girl, don’t let anyone tell you otherwise. I love the look, I do, it’s very good little girl, modest Mandy I love it, I do, but it’s not a star look hun. So what I’m thinking is.” She looked back at Jim for his approval. "Blonde, tan, maybe get rid of these freckles, blow the lips up a bit, I dunno.” She took the girls breasts in her hand, and started jostling them about. “Maybe D-cups on the tits, I dunno. Nothin’ too crazy.”

“Rocky.” Everyone turned towards Asmodeus who was speaking through gritted teeth. “I thought Shy was going to be our makeup artist.”

Rocky, the new make-up artists nodded her head, and took out a file which she started to use on her long nails. “Oh well, she wanted to, but you know she’s so busy making those anit-vax tik-toks. So I said ‘Hey, you know, I’m not doing anything, and here I am.” She turned back towards Barbara. “So whaddya say hun, ya wanna look gorgeous or what?”

Barbara bit her lip. “You don’t think anyone will recognize me?”

Rocky threw her head back with a laugh. “Honey, by the time I’m done with you, your own father won’t recognize you when he’s shaking hands with the mayor. If you know what I mean.”

“You’re a vile woman Rocky.” Asmodeus glared at the tacky woman. “Please excuse her, she’s my wife’s sister. I have to employ her.”

“It’s okay.” Barbara nodded her head, a well of will and spirit filling her up. “I’ll do it. This money will really give me the chance to focus on my acting! I’m in!”

“Oh ain’t she sweet?” Rocky laughed, and grabbed the brunette’s hand. “Come on baby girl, let’s get you all prettied up!”

That just left Bethany who was already holding up a signed contract. “College for the kid.” For explained with a shrug.

“Splendid.” Asmodeus said with a grin. “Why don’t the two of you join...Rocky.” He said the name with clear venom. “We’ll call you on when we’re ready.” The two nodded and joined the other women further back in mansion.

“Who the fuck was that?” Jim asked once they were out of ear shot.

“She’s just this… thing in my life.”

“Does she work for you?”

“I don’t pay her, if that’s what you’re asking.”

Jim was starting to freak out. One demon was one thing, but two? “Am I safe with her around?”

“Of course not James, a meteor could drop down from the sky and kill you right now if God so desires, what a question. Safe Indeed.”

“I mean, is she dangerous?”

“In a cosmic sense, yes. All demons are, our goal is the corruption and erasure of creation and existence. Very dangerous indeed James.”

Jim was about to loose his patience with this guy. Sure somehow he’s gotten three girls for a shoot which was destined to have none, but he was annoying as hell. “What I mean is she going to kill me?”

“Oh no, she’s harmless. She’s just unpleasant for me to look at, and be around, and listen to, that accent.” Asmodeus shuddered. “She’s a demon, why does a demon need a Brooklyn accent?”

“You have a British accent.”

“It’s not the same.”

“Well if I’m not in danger, then I’ve got nothing to complain about. We’ve got our first shoot, a mansion full of pretty girls…”

“... and soon our videos will begin melting people’s souls into black tar.”

Jim smiled and held out his hand. “I’m excited to work with you partner.”

“Likewise James, likewise.”
