Chapter 33B: Lance POV

I told her more about Europe and that we were going to a province outside of Paris. It seems she has not traveled a lot and is excited about doing some shopping in France. My meeting after lunch was with Susan's father, Buck. I have no idea what he wants nor do I care. I would have cancelled but he has been on my calendar for a month now.

“Buck, this Karma is my secretary. Karma, this is Buck, a friend and business partner of my father”, I said as Karma took a seat next to me to take notes.

“Hello, Karma, what a beauty you are. Lance, I really hope you do not take after your father”, Buck said, and it pissed me off.

“Not at all”, I said with a fake and forced smile. He, out of all the people in the world, should not be judging. He has done far worse than my father.


“Lance, I wanted to talk to you about merging one of your personal businesses with mine”, he said with a smile.

“I that so which one?”, I asked, knowing I would not agree with him at all.

“The burlesque club in New Orleans with my strip club down there”, he said absolutely not. His strip club is in the French Quarter but the women and men that work there are teenagers. Since the age of consent in Louisiana is seventeen, he got away with hiring minors at his strip clubs. I do not like it at all. Just because you can do something does not mean you should.

“I am not sure if you are aware, but that burlesque club is owned by my cousin Jake, I am just a silent partner”, I said.

“But I am sure your cousin will take your advice if you advise him that it is a good idea for a merger”, he said. I know for a fact his
The strip club is failing.

Sex sells, but when you have something everyone else has, and they have it cheaper, they will go to the cheaper option. But burlques are different. Not too many performers know how to actually do it right. Burlesque includes elements of striptease, but it is so much more than that. It is admittedly a sexy but not at all sleazy variety of cabaret that includes live music, singing, costume changes, comedy, acrobatics, and practiced choreography. Anybody can take off their clothes and dance on a pole, but true art is hard to find. And that is why he wants to merge his strip club with mine. That particular club makes ten thousand dollars on weekdays.

“I will talk to him and see what he says”, I said, fakely smiling.

“Okay, Karama, it's been a pleasure. Lance sent my hello to Susan. I hear she has a new place now”, she said, smiling.

“I will have a good day”, I said and walked him out.

“He seems nice”, Karma said.

“He is an old friend of my father. Since my father retired, he has been trying to become a business partner with me. But I do not like any of his businesses”, I said, watching Karma call Jake.

“Why not?”, she asked.

“Because most of his adult entertainment companies are in places where the age of consent is lower than eighteen. The strip club he is talking about is employing girls seventeen and up. And that is not my cup of tea”, he said.

“Smart man, I guest’, she said, and I had to take a look at her.

“What I mean is that some but not all adult entertainment employers do hire people under the age of eighteen illegally. The problem with that is that age is clear, but also that can lead to sex trafficking and shit like that. Having that type of business in a state where the age of consent is under eighteen means that the owner is protecting himself or herself from certain issues like getting raided by the police, or being charged with sex trafficking., But also people who do business like that usually have ulterior motives”, she said hanging up the phone and emailing Jake.

“And that is why I do not want to do business with him. It's bad enough for my father and he has a contact that binds that man and his family to us”, I said, realizing I had said too much.

“You are a man of character, which is rare in wealthy men”, she said, then Jake walked in the door.

While I explain everything to Jake, I also text Kay. I wonder how she is feeling with the anal trainer inside her. I can't wait to fully have every hole she has to offer me. After I met Kay, I started to wonder why couldn't I meet someone like her, beautiful, hard-working, nice, caring. It's like all I attract are gold-digging whores.

Which I do like to fuck but they do not get anything from me, but an orgasm if that. That's why I know Kay is different, unlike the other women I have been with. I usually get mine and then leave. But with Kay, I want to please her in every way I can. It is like her pleasure pleases me.

“I do not want to put you out of your way of going back home”, she said, smiling a bit nervous.

“You are not. Remember I am staying with her while some work is getting done on my car”, I said nonchalantly.

“Honestly, Lance, I want to be able to run without wondering what my boss thinks of me”, Karma said, and I stopped eating.

“You mean you want to let loose and get drunk with me judging you? Well, I am not your employer and after 5 pm Monday through "Thursday and Friday after four thirty, we are not coworkers”, I said, smiling at her.

“If you say so, Lance, we shall see”, she said with a shrug.
