He Hired Her to Kill Him

[sirhugs]

P is distraught. In his fifties, his wife is dead (or left him?). His kids have moved away. His business is failing. The only asset he has left is a hefty life insurance policy. He figures if that pays out to his kids, they will finally realize he loves them. but it does not pay in the event of suicide.

He recruits a "hit man" through a "mercenary" magazine. Except the hit man is a woman.

As she trails him, looking for the perfect chance to kill him and have it look like an accident (double indemnity), she notices how kind he is to store clerks, little old ladies, even how he pets dogs... and then she realizes she is falling in love...

don't know what's on Lit, but Lawrence Block has an excellent hit man series of books. Thomas Perry also did one or two before his Jane Whitefield novels, and returned to that character recently. .

Damn, Sirhugs. I like it. Got my juices going on this one, so many possibilities...

If I didn't have about 20 stories in the works, I'd start writing now, but if I keep the Two Moms, Two Laps readers waiting any longer, I'm afraid they're going to hunt me down.

I may give this a try in a couple of weeks if I can get my backlog under control.

Thanks for a great idea.

How's this for a twist:

Having fallen in love with the mark, and wanting to be with him if only for awhile, she somehow convinces him that the best way to arrange the murder is for them to fake being in a relationship for awhile, and then have a fatal domestic "accident" (or establish a pattern of having kinky sex, and then for something to go "wrong").

Of course, human emotions being the weird creatures that they are, the "fake" relationship begins to affect the mark in much the way a real one would; he's happier and has more confidence. This in turn leads to his business picking up, women start noticing him again, and in general his life improves, to the point that he doesn't want to die anymore. Which leaves him with a dilemma; not realizing her actual motivations, he assumes that she's just really dedicated to her job, the kind of dedicated killer you see in the movies who won't break a contract even if the hit gets called off.

Cue wacky hijinks and eventual happy ending when they both realize they actually share the same goals.

I like sirhug's original idea and Shendude's variation, though I DO think that if their fake relationship is getting real, he would surely ask her at some point if she would cancel the contract if he asked her. Unless she's got a boss higher up, there's no reason for her to hold to a code of going through with the killing when the only person that knows that she's going back on her contract is the one who hired her.

 

[Carnevil9]

I would assume that he cannot cancel the contract; it has gone through too many layers. And if she doesn't kill him, she will be in heap big trouble with her organization.

So their only recourse is to fake both of their own deaths. That way the kids still get the money, and the two happy lovebirds get to move to some banana republic with new identities and live horny ever after.

 

[wheelchair27]

I have a variation a disabled man who's life is a giant pile of crap wants to die but does not want to commit suicide so he hires the female hitman she keeps trying to find a chance to kill him but she can't. over time she falls in love with him.

 

[loquere]

She fakes his death with a gas leak takes a body from a morgue and they run off to Latin America.

-take half the money, give the rest to the kids.

The only way that works is if the kids are in on the plot. Insurance companies don't generally give half the money to the corpse and the corpses killer and the other half to the next of kin.

In fiction, you all the time find Hitmen with a "code" that requires them to carry out a job, even if the job is called off.

This is ridiculous of course, but it's a common enough trope that Our Hero could assume that such a dedicated killer would follow it.

Haveing sex with him then killing him would be hot. During the sex hotter. She coats her vagina with poison.

 

[TheTitLover]

Another twist could also be that the Hitwoman doesn't know that the mark is also the one who hired her.

She could approach him with the domestic plan and he panics when he realises it's the Hitwoman. Or he doesn't even know that.

There are so many damned angles here you could write half a dozen stories.

There was an actual case of this in the news recently: the woman coated her snatch with poison to kill her boyfriend, then asked him to go down on her. He noticed first a strange flavor, and second that she had passed out! Dumb bitch didn't realize her pussy would absorb the poison faster than his tongue would. He rushed her to the hospital and saved her dumbass life.

If you have a lull now, I'd LOVE to see your take on this story idea, kind sir!

 

[Brandnewbuddy]

There’s actually an ongoing manga with roughly this premise though in that one the guy hires the assassin to kill him so he can spend time with her and considers each attempt a “date”

It’s called “Kiruru Kill me!”

don't know what's on Lit, but Lawrence Block has an excellent hit man series of books. Thomas Perry also did one or two before his Jane Whitefield novels, and returned to that character recently. .

Something that this reminds me of: there a TV movie a long time ago about a man and a woman who are both working for a crime organization and have to pretend that that they are married. They even have to live in the same house. They appear more legitimate that way while they carry out various tasks for The Mob or syndicate or whatever it's called.

I don't think it happens in the movie, but it would be interesting if they decide that since they are pretending to be married, they might as well stop pretending and get some "benefits" from being an actual couple.

Anyway, the original was called The Borgia Stick and it had a rather convoluted plot. (Look it up if one is curious.) I would play up the emotional/sexual aspects of the situation, which I think was somewhat besides the point in the original The late Inger Stevens played the wife.

Great story but where is the eroticism?

That's why Lit has a non-Erotic category, for just such cases as this. The readers there tend to be pretty low-key and will accept such stories. Just don't put it in another category and then expect the readers there not to challenge it.

Yes, I know... and have often wondered why. Seems somewhat crass to put up a website allegedly devoted specifically to written erotica... and then torpedo the whole idea with things like that, the politics rubbish etc. Maybe there should be a gardening section...

I've put some stuff in there, and have generally gotten a good reception. Some of it is in the form of "memoirs" of my own life. There is another site that allows the same thing (you can mark a story as "No Sex" but I've never done that on there). So far I'm on three sites and I wasn't going to join a fourth just to do further material.

Crass? Complain to Laurel. Everybody has some gripe with the site, but she's probably not going to change anything. She doesn't care, and why should she? Just don't read it if you don't wish to.

Who said I did? I simply mentioned that I was aware such sections existed. I just ignore them, as they strike me as incongruous and misplaced here.

Waiting for your contribution on the overwintering of dahlia tubers...

... that should definitely lead to an erotic frisson or two...

 

[CuttingEdge]

I wrote one along these lines but a little different...

A homeless woman is walking up a suburbia street and finds just the right house, a hose bib and hose attached to the house that is hidden from the street by shrubs. In there she can take a much needed, but cold shower. As she does, she is knocked unconscious and taken to a hotel.

When she wakes up she realizes its her old co-workers from the CIA. A former operative, she was set up by the government and lost her identity when she started to get soft on killing the people they wanted her too. With no identity, she cant get work, or be anything, so she has been homeless in the wake of the punishment they gave her. But now they offer her a million dollars...If she can cross town as they hunt her down. They are retired now, but want the thrill of a hunt. But a good, hard hunt, where smart people, well trained in counter-ambush, are hunted.

She agrees to it as it is her only way out of the nasty homeless life she has now, but as they drop her off, they tell her a caveat they kept from her; she is to cross town while being hunted... fully naked. She balks but wins only one concession; she can wear shoes. But only shoes.

To survive, along the way she has some mishaps; being mistaken as a prostitute, but also using her nudity to gain a few things. She cleverly kils two of the three men along the way, but eventually ends up at the old Ellis Island Phychco ward where there is the old mortuary. Inside is where her million dollars is. As she grabs it though, the last man out of three that is alive, asks her if she really thought she would get the money? He was posted there just to keep her from getting it.

This she anticipated though. As he holds a gun on her, and as naked as she is, it seems there is no hope. How could a naked woman defend herself against a man with a gun? But having slept with a pimp along the way, and stolen his gun, she duck taped a micro 9mm to her high heels so her shoes just looked like chunky heels and not stilettos. Distracting him with the promise of sex, pulling out her gun, she blasts the man, takes the money and goes to find some clothes!

So kind of an assassin gone soft story, but with a whole different twist and viewpoint.

 

[sirhugs]

Great story but where is the eroticism?

instead of killing him, she seduces him and gives him reason to live

 

[SteelPoint]

Ah, right...

You didn't mention that in the OP. You talked about romance.
