Benefits !

"That was fun" said Debbi as she pulled her knickers back up. "I always thought you were gay !" she added. Lawrence laughed. "I know. That's a role I play. It fits in with the fashion work and it helps to put some of the uptight ladies at ease, who come for a boudoir shoot for hubby."

"That's what Lesley said" Debbi replied as she rejoined him on the bed. "You've been doing a lot of talking to Lesley" Lawrence chuckled.

"She's fun"

"And you've been getting very frisky lately !"

"You're not complaining are you ? I've spent so long concentrating on building up my career, I want to ease up and loosen up a little. You've been such a help and now so has Lesley !"

"Friends with benefits ?"

"Something like that" Debbi agreed, grabbing Lawrence. "Will it get hard again ?"

"It will if you keep doing that !" Lawrence exclaimed. At that inopportune moment, Debbi's phone rang. "Shit !" she cried, getting up to answer it.

"Oh hi Vanessa......That was quick, I didn't expect to hear from you so soon......Hasn't that been done before ?......Oh, I guess that is different......Will he supply the clothes ? I don't want my own cut up......OK then, let me know the timings."

"Who was that ? Lawrence asked. "Vanessa from the gallery. She said she could put some modelling work my way. "

"And ?"

"There's some kind of performance art thing. They want to cut all my clothes off."

"That's been done before."

"That's what I told them, you heard. But apparently this guy has robots that will do it, to emphasise how humanity will become subservient to robots"

"Sounds bullshit."

"It does a bit but it'll be fun anyway !"

"Who's the artist ?"

"He calls himself 'Z' "

"Z ?" repeated Lawrence sceptically.

"He says names are bourgeois and will be redundant among servile humanity in future !"

"Now I know he's full of shit ! Does it pay well ?"

"They haven't mentioned any money. But I'm not a whore, I don't do things for money." Lawrence laughed at her reasoning but he had been the beneficiary of it often enough and so could not object. "Come back to bed for a bit" he said. " A bit of what ?" Debbi asked. "Benefits" said Lawrence !
