Contest #2

I decide that as interesting as it would be to see if Jessie has any further blow ups during her interview, I can always catch that later on tape. The real action is going to be with the second contest. I go into the production booth to watch, and I see Alex Sommers in the booth.

Today’s guest commentator is Lu Wongwanker, the rising Asian starlet. Cum On Productions was able to sign her fairly recently. Before that, she was overseas, rapidly making a name for herself. Her body alone would make her someone who would get noticed in the industry, but it was her versatility that really made her into star material. She could be a demure, shy schoolgirl in one scene, appearing to all the world as if she had her virginity fully intact. In the next scene, she could be a fierce dominatrix, with eyes and an expression that would make the most manly of men get on his knees and say, “Please, Mistress, let me lick your feet again.”

I have wanted to meet Lu, and I take this opportunity as she is getting fitted for her microphone.

“So you are the new boss I have been hearing about,” she says, shaking my hand with a smile. Her English is very good, but there is a definite accent and an occasional awkward use of words. Of course, in this industry, one’s command of English is largely irrelevant, but she clearly gives the impression of getting by on much more than just her hotness; she has a nice intellect between the ears.

“That would be me,” I say, returning the greeting. “I’ve been looking forward to meeting you. I’m a big fan.”

“How big?” Lu asks, looking tellingly downward on my body.

I try to be suave. After all these weeks on the job, I’m definitely a lot more comfortable with the overt sexuality around me, but even I get kind of tongue tied when a top-name porn actress openly hits on me.

“Well, big enough,” I say, immediately thinking that was a pretty stupid response.

“And you are rising, too, are you not?” She still looks between my legs and raises her eyebrows in a way that makes me want to make the whole world go away so it can be just her and me. No wonder she commands as much money as we pay her! Not only is she incredibly hot, but she’s also making erotic jokes in a language that isn’t native to her. I’m still trying to remember all the words to the limerick that starts out, “There once was a man from Nantucket.”

She returns her eyes to mine. “Well, it is good to meet the boss. I always want to know who it is that I’m supposed to — what is the phrase you use here? The one I am to suck.”

“Um, I think the phrase you’re searching for is ‘to suck up to.’” I offer, helpfully.

“Is it?” she says with a sly smile, telling me that she doesn’t need any of my help to master the nuances of English.

Our conversation is interrupted as the director approaches us and tells us it is time to start the second contest. “Hey, Jeremy, since you are here, would you like to join Alex and Lu to offer commentary? I think that would be great, having one of the owners of the company providing color about what makes a good porn star. I can get you set up with a microphone, if you’re interested.”
