Talking Business

Sophie couldn't quite believe she had ended up where she currently was. She had begun the day travelling to her nice, respectable office job and was now standing in the lobby of what was very clearly and unashamedly a workspace that serviced the adult entertainment industry.

She had hoped, and assumed, the setting for the meeting she had been **** to attend would be more subtle than this. She would have thought people in this line of work wouldn't be quite so brazen about what they did, and that the building interior would more or less present as if it were any other place of business. However, that was far from the case. The on-the-nose name of the organisation - Triple X - was emblazoned proudly at the front of the building and on nearly every wall, while explicit images of some of the, presumably more notable, girls who worked here served as decor.

Sophie felt completely alien in this place. There were a few other people milling about - douchey looking guys in showy, designer label clothing, and slutty girls with large, fake looking tits and equally inauthentic platinum blonde hair extensions. Sophie actually felt a little sick at finding herself stranded in such an environment. Nonetheless, she was full of resolve to pursue new work opportunities, however uncomfortable they made her feel, thanks to a wish that had been aimed at pushing her boundaries slightly rather than completely eliminating them.

Sophie walked nervously to the front desk. The woman behind it looked like a porn star herself. Perhaps she was, and this supplemented her income, though, looking around her, it appeared to Sophie that people in this industry must be swimming with money.

"Hello, I have an appointment with Alex at half one" she explained a little nervously.

"Miss Stone?" the woman smiled warmly "His office is on the first floor to the right of the stairs. You can head up there now. I know Alex is very keen to meet you"

That sounded strangely ominous to Sophie, but she nonetheless did as she was told. She found and entered the room where her dreaded appointment would take place and was greeted by a douchey looking guy in showy, designer label clothing. The men here were all starting to blur into one at this point.

"I'm delighted you came, Sophie" Alex beamed as he stood and extended his hand "I've been devouring your OnlyFans page over the past hour or so and have to say I love what you've done with it"

"It wasn't really me" Sophie attempted to distance herself from her content as the uncomfortable realisation this guy had already seen every inch of her body hit her like a hammer.

"Well, whoever designed your page did a great job, but you are the star. It's so difficult to stand out on a platform like that, but you've managed it effortlessly" Alex enthused "I know you are new to this industry, but you've probably noticed just from walking around this place that we are oversaturated with girls that have a certain kind of look. I'm not knocking them, busty blonde Barbie types are enduringly popular, but when something different comes along, that's exciting to me. You are sexy, but in a wholesome, girl next door kind of way. You're someone guys can feel an emotional attachment to, rather than just being material for them to jerk off over. That can be powerful"

"I guess that's flattering?" Sophie sounded highly unsure of that, but attempted to remain polite "I have to tell you though, I'm not new to the adult entertainment industry, I don't consider myself a part of it at all. I'm actually trying to get my OnlyFans page taken down and I'm only here now because....Well, it's complicated. Suffice to say, I've made a commitment not to dismiss new opportunities out of hand. But this really doesn't feel like me at all"

"You are hesitant, I can see that" Alex nodded "It's understandable. This is still a taboo industry and it can seem a lot at first. Here's the thing though, it can also be an extremely lucrative line of work. You've already tested extremely positively with consumers and demonstrated you can quickly build a dedicated, paying audience. You could go back to your office job and, I'm sure, earn a nice and steady wage, or you could work with me and I will make you rich. Like, seven figures a year rich"

"What would you even have me do?"

That question caused Alex to smile subtly. It was the first hint that, for the right price, Sophie might be willing to consider his offer rather than dismiss it out of hand. It wasn't like he lacked experience in convincing **** girls with potential to give this type of work a try. Money talked, and he could be very persuasive too.

"Ultimately, I'd aim to get you into movies, which is where the biggest money can be made and also where I think you would shine the most. To start with, though, I'd like to try you as a webcam girl. It's a gentle introduction and would allow you to develop your skills in keeping an audience engaged without much pressure"

"Becoming a webcam girl doesn't seem like a gentle, low pressure introduction. It sounds terrifying to me"

"Look, obviously I'm not the talent, so it may seem presumptuous for me to talk like I have knowledge of what you do.."

"This isn't what I do!" Sophie tried to protest, exasperated by now at the universe's sudden and inexplicable insistence that she throw away her settled, respectable lifestyle to become a porn star.

"Honestly though, webcam work is about as easy as this industry gets" Alex continued regardless "I'd set up and advertise your channel, all you would have to do is stay in your bedroom, undress, flirt a bit and maybe carry out a few requests for extra credits if, and only if, you are comfortable doing them. I could even fix your settings so nobody within a fifty mile radius would be able to access your stream. And the best part? All the money that you earn can be in your bank account tonight"

"Tonight?" Sophie checked with more than a hint of alarm.

"Sure, why waste time?" Alex encouraged his newest client "I can have you up and running by early evening. What do you say?"

Sophie felt horrified. She was barely coming to terms with nude images of her being available online. The thought of being naked and having to interact with faceless strangers in real time was completely overwhelming. But the magic fuelling her wish to be more open to new work opportunities could seemingly not be overridden.

"Okay then" she answered with a heavy sigh "I guess I can give it a go"
