Sort of A Secret

"We know this is a big thing to ask of you," Janet starts, "but we were kind of hoping you'd be willing to give us some of your coins."

"Why? You both already have one, and I don't think a second will have any impact on you." At least that is what I think the old man meant. I really should have gotten his contact info.

"Well...they aren't for us. Since you became our master, our lives have gotten a lot better. There are some people we'd like to do the same for." Karen's answer surprised me.

"WHAT!? We don't even know what these coins do, other than make women think I am their master. I was going to ask if you wanted me to figure out someway to undo it, and you two are hoping to spread this around?"

"First, I definitely do not want you to undo this. Neither does my new best friend here, right Janet? I cannot explain it, but ever since I picked that coin up in the hall, it's like my life has gotten clarified. I wasn't unhappy before, but now, it's like I know my purpose. I'm so deliriously happy, and I...we want to share that with some of the people we care about."

"We'll only give them to hot women, if that's worried about, Mike." Janet interjected.

"...I wasn't worried about that. But, now I kinda am. You two really want to do this?" The blonde and redhead in front of me nodded their heads vigorously. "Okay. I've gone crazy. Officially. But a couple ground rules. First, you cannot give them to anyone who is married, or in a serious relationship. If William hadn't turned out to be such an asshole, I might have felt bad about what I had Janet do. Second, it does have to be someone you sincerely think I would find attractive. Third, you cannot tell anyone about these coins. Best case scenario, you get locked up in some asylum and we never see each other again. " The final point had the girls gasping in dread, as if permanent separation was a fate worse than ****. As I walked over to the desk drawer to unlock it, I finished up. "Okay ladies, if you can follow those guidelines, I'll let you have a coin."

"Could I have two?" Janet asked hopefully. "I know you'll like both the women I have in mind."

"Oooh...me too! I'll take two. And would you mind holding onto MY coin? I really, really don't want to accidentally give away the coin you gave me Master. It means so much to me."

"And you're not going to tell me who these women are, are you?"

"Nope. That's a surprise. A surprise you will really like."

"::sigh:: Okay, two coins it is. I'll put your coins in a separate bag and keep them in my drawer here until you want them back." Reaching out to both ladies I hand them two coins each, while placing one in my own pocket. I did note, that unlike in the park, there was no visible reaction from either the girls, or the coins when they closed their fists around them. . Locking the larger bag, and the "spent" coins back up in my drawer, I turn back to the girls. "So, you two are off to Janet's apartment, right? Do you need a ride?"

"No, but after watching you two go at it, it is very tempting to take you up the offer of a ride." Janet gushed. "My ex has some connections, so it's probably best to avoid broadcasting just how quickly I replaced him. But we will be back later tonight. We're just going to assess the damage and be there when the super changes the locks."

"Oops, Janet we'd better go. The ride I called is almost here." Karen broke in. "See you later tonight...Master." God damn, a shiver just ran down my spine.

After the ladies left, I sat down at my table to take stock of the situation. There really is no other way to put it, but my shitty day has apparently ended with me beginning to build a harem. I've got two girls, one of whom was a complete stranger, and the other was a friend who had been determined to keep it that way. As soon as the coins hit their hands, they completely changed their opinions about me. Now they revered me, they couldn't get enough of me. AND they want to do the same thing to other women. As a favor to them. And me, I suppose.

As my mind swirled around the events of the day, a loud knock echoed through my apartment. "Open up Mike, I know you're in there." Fuck. Ellen, the building manager. The person who evicted me today. What the hell could she want?

"Hello Ellen. What's with the get up, special occasion?" As property mangers go, she's been pretty damn awful. As a spectator sport, however...

"Some stupid fundraiser my dad is making me go to. Hey. Eyes up."

And that concludes the attempt to engage her in small talk. "What can I do for you?"

"First you can tell your slut to shut the hell up. I've been getting complaints for hours about the noise coming from your apartment."

"Or else?"

Ellen's eyes open wide at that. No one ever gets away with back talking to her. "The fuck did you just say to me?"

"What are you going to do about it Ellen? You just evicted the entire building today. On legally dubious grounds, I might add. That being said, even your father, the judge, couldn't kick me out faster than the week you already gave me. You're out of leverage here." Ooh...she's pissed now. I might have overdone it, but I definitely touched a nerve.

"I'm glad you brought that up, Mike. The other reason I'm here is to make sure you got that notice. I need you to sign here, acknowledging that you received it." Taking the clipboard, I read through the notice again. "You might want to note, you have to be completely out of the building by 8am, a week from tomorrow. Anything left behind will become mine. No exceptions." As soon as I sign, she ripped the clipboard out of my hand, and stormed down the hallway. "I look forward to seeing you off for good Mike."

As my door closed I stood in my entryway fuming. "God damn, what a piece of work." With everything that had happened since I met Janet, I had completely forgotten I need to find a new place. I wonder where Janet actually lives? Maybe I can crash with her. I am her master, after all. I shoved my hands in my pockets to contemplate my next move when I realized I had a potential solution. While going toe to toe with Ellen, the coins had completely slipped my mind. I could use the coin to solve my housing problem. Either with Ellen, or another woman. My meeting at work could go in any direction I want it to with a judicious placement of coins.

I have quite a few coins, but definitely not an infinite amount. I'm going to need to be smart in how I do this.
