Society Passions (Closed for LanaEide)

[Rocket1010]

had it all, money, cars, a huge mansion, and women. Now swimming in the crisp blue water, without a care in the world, he thought about how he came by all the wealth. Brought up by two loving parents in a lower class neighborhood, his parents tried to eke out a living on his dad’s meager salary working for a manufacturing firm. They lived in a very modest house with two bedrooms and one bathroom. His parents had a lot of friends in the neighborhood and Kylie, who was very young at the time, was relegated to play with the other children while the adults played cards or talked during cookouts. There were a few girls who were his age but being young, he was more interested in sports rather than the opposite sex. Besides the neighborhood they lived in had a high turnover due to families moving into my upscale neighborhoods.

But his father, besides working every day in the factory, tinkered in his in his garage, always trying to improve on something. One day his father came home all excited and giddy, kissing his wife and hugging Kyle. He had just returned from his lawyer’s office where he filed a patent on a device that would increase the speed of the manufacturing metal straps used in the automotive industry. Since he didn’t have a non-compete clause with the company, his father was free to manufacture the parts on the open market. With some shrewd investments and hiring the right people, his father started a company and soon they were rolling in money. More money than they could spend.

Kyle followed his father into the business world and for his 26th birthday, his father decided to retire and handed the business to him. As CEO and President, Kyle spent long hours in the office and within a year expanded the business fivefold. Hiring the right people like his father, he now had plenty of free time to do whatever he wanted. He was on a number of boards and he gave away money generously to social causes.

When the Woodside Mansion on the edge of town came available, he jumped at the chance and purchased it for $15 million, renaming it the Brunson Mansion . The luxurious home was spacious, more space than one person could use but it didn’t matter, Kyle had money and he spent it.

As a way of celebrating his first year as CEO and President, Kyle decided to have an open house. He put together a flyer and passed it around the office, telling people to invite anyone they wanted. It was going to be his first large party and he didn't care how many people attended. Hell why not, he had a huge mansion and he wanted to show it off. The more the merrier.

On the night of the party he was a little nervous but the party planner assured him everything was going to work out. The band was on the patio and the servers were refreshing drinks and serving hors d’oeuvres. Men and women were mingling around the pool and in the spacious house, many of them he knew but many of them total strangers.

Kyle was talking to his vice-president of marketing when he noticed a young dark-haired woman about his age walking around the pool. There was something oddly familiar about her but he couldn’t put his finger on it. Excusing himself from the boring conversation, he walked toward the young woman, offering greetings to some of the party goers.

When he approached her, he smiled, giving her his best sensual look. “Whoever is throwing this party must have a lot of money, don’t you think?” he said.

 

[LanaEide]

Lydia was wondering why she decided to come here, she looked totally out of place. When her roomie Sarah had showed her the flyer Lydia had laughed it off and shook her head. No way was she going there. Then Sarah had actually gotten her some suitable clothes. Man Sarah was too good to her, though she had practically pushed this on Lydia. Lydia was glad to get a break though, as she walked along, around the pool, just mindlessly walking. Okay she was worrying about her job. Lydia was hardly making anything to live off of and had school as well, if Lydia hadn't been on a full scholarship she wouldn't even be going to college. Lydia wanted to be an artist though, of a sort. Lydia drew pictures of characters and scenes of worlds and places she only dreamed of going to. Lydia was a big day dreamer. As Lydia was walking around the pool though she heard someone and turned, her dark brown hair flowing around her as her blue eyes focused on the man. Then she saw him and instantly felt her legs get sort of weak.

Then he spoke and she instantly recognized his voice as the person who was holding this party. Lydia wasn't good with faces as much as she was with voices. A voice was memorable, faces changed. Though Lydia with her same length as it had been when she was in middle school and face the same as always though a little worn under her make up had hardly changed. Lydia smiled thought as she heard Kyle Brunson speak.

"Yes, with a mansion this big he must be very rich. I willl say though that money isn't everything, though it is a lot."Lydia said with the same gentle voice she had since she was a child. Lydia should know about money being a lot, living in the 1 bedroom one bathroom apartment with Sarah. Sarah had agreed to take care of the rent as long as Lydia did the chores like cooking and cleaning. Which was pretty easy as Lydia and Sarah were both very tidy people normally anyway. Lydia then giggled slightly.

"You would know a thing or two about being rich wouldn't you though? Mr. Brunson." Lydia then smiled gently, always having been a polite girl, though in earlier days she had been a little of a tomboy. Coming from a lower class community she wasn't as refined as some people but still had a lot of respect for people. Lydia smiled as she just stood there waiting for his response, her blue eyes warm and welcoming, masking the worry and stress she was under in her daily life.


(OOC: The attachment is what Lydia looks like)

 

[Rocket1010]

Kyle looked into the woman's piercing blue eyes, again trying to place where he might have met her before. When she mentioned that the owner of the big mansion must be rich but money wasn't everything but helped, he smiled let out a soft laugh.

There were some who thought it wrong for some people to have a lot of money while others struggled to make ends meet. He never brought up the fact that he worked long hours, and put everything on the line to make his company a success. He had a lot to lose if business took a turn for the worse but he found it worthless to try and argue is point of view.

Kyle was taken back a little when she added that he should know a thing or two about being rich, correctly guessing he was the host.

He let out a loud laugh and the people standing nearby looked in their direction. "Yes you are correct ma'am. I am the host who is throwing this bash in celebration of my one year anniversary."

Looking at the wavy dark brown hair, he took in her slender figure and again trying to figure out where he knew her from. He put out his hand and when her small hand slipped into his for a handshake, Kyle said softly, "You have me at a distinct disadvantage. You seem to know me but I don't know your name. It would be nice to put a name with a lovely face."

 

[LanaEide]

Lydia smiled gently as Kyle let out a laugh but didn't laugh herself, not one used to laughing. After all, she had a very hard life. Even though she was a hard worker money didn't just come to her. Yes she knew some people got their money by working very hard but some of it was also luck. No one that became rich was just a hard worker, luck was on their side as well. Which Lydia didn't have much of, she had some though with her roomate Sarah. Sarah was a nice woman, that part Lydia had gotten lucky on, nothing else though had fallen into her lap or had been easy. Especially her job. You didn't get much as a cashier at Walmart. It was one of the few jobs Lydia could get though, still being in college. She could only work nights, since all of her classes were in the day time and she had a busy schedule, though on weekends she could work anytime.

Lydia then smirked slightly. "I wasn't guessing, I've heard you before. You are more popular then you know, I may not be good with faces but I heard you talking earlier and I don't easily forget voices, unless your voice changes of course." Lydia shook Kyle's hand when he held it out to her before looking slightly embarrassed. "Oh I'm sorry, I didn't tell you who I was, I'm Lydia. Lydia Pendleton. You haven't told me your first name though yet." Lydia smiled. She had heard people call him Mr. Brunson but none of them seemed to say his first name. Though with someone as rich and as important and popular as him, many people probably would think it disrespectful to know and call him by his first name but unless you were her boss, Lydia didn't care. You didn't get any exceptions, Lydia was gonna call you by your first name or you weren't going to talk to her for long. Lydia was going to be polite to Mr. Brunson but she wasn't all sunshine and rainbows. Even if he was good looking and seemed to be a kind gentleman.

 

[Rocket1010]

Kyle listened to the young women talk about how she recognized him from his voice and not by sight. He smiled when she told him her name, Lydia Pendleton. He knew that name but for the life of him he couldn't put the face or the lovely body with the name.

He let out a small chuckle when she asked his first name. Interesting how she knew he was Mr. Brunson but didn't know his first name. It was on the flyer but that was ok. He was enjoying talking to this person who seemed strangely familiar. "My name is Kyle ..... Kyle Brunson and I hope you are having a good time."

At that moment, a blonde with a long pony tail approached them. "Boss it's time to make the introduction speech," she said looking at Lydia with a wary eye. It was evident she looked out for Kyle or had designs on him for herself.

Turning to the dark haired Lydia, Kyle didn't want to lose the opportunity to talk some more with her. There was something familiar about her and he wanted to talk to her some more and maybe it would come back to him. "Lydia, I'm sorry but I have to say something but please don't run away. I'll be right back."

The blonde looked again at Lydia, shooting her glances that seemed to say 'what do you have that makes my boss so interested in you. The blonde looked to Kyle saying, "Please boss .... the guest are waiting."

"I'll be right back Lydia. Don't run off ok?"

 

[LanaEide]

Lydia smiled but shrugged as Kyle said he hoped she was having a good time. "Well it's not my usual type of scene, I come from the poorer part of town but it is nice I guess." 'I do feel like scooting away and going back home, to try and get some rest and maybe hunt for a second job, since I am barely making enough to get by.' Lydia just smiled though, not letting out a sigh like she wanted to. Lydia was one of the strong kind of people who didn't let her sadness or stress let through.

Then Lydia saw the blonde, taking a step back as she was given a wary eye, silently saying I don't want any trouble, he came to me. Lydia looked down as she did this, averting her eyes from Kyle's. Kyle must have noticed because he asked her to not run away and she bit her lip, not answering the first time but then he asked her a second time and she nodded. "Alright." All while having her head lowered and not meeting Kyle's eyes, not liking this blonde and stepping back, slowly. Soon while Kyle was going to do his speech Lydia had gotten close to the door, wanting to run away. Lydia had said she wouldn't to Kyle but she was torn, wanting to escape the place she didn't belong, no matter how she wanted to stay and talk to Kyle.

 

[Rocket1010]

Kyle smiled at Lydia when she told him she would stay. "I'll be right back. This is something I have to do as host."

Kyle made his way to the microphone, all the while trying desperately to remember where he met Lydia. As he was about to speak, he glanced over to where she was standing, seeing her head down and shuffling her feet. When he started to speak, telling the patrons he was glad they came and to enjoy the festivities, he saw Lydia move to the door leading back into the house.

It hit him like a ton of bricks, she was the cute girl he had a crush on when his parents lived on the poor side of town. 'Lydia Pendleton .... Well I'll be damned,' he thought as he took a moment to pause his speech. The guests were waiting for him to continue and he realized that he stopped in mid-sentence.

"Folks I just want to say again, enjoy yourself tonight and drink responsibly. We have people who are designated drivers if you need them."

Glancing over to where Lydia was standing, he saw her turn and walk to the door. Moving quickly through the crowd he caught up to her just as she walked into the house. He touched her arm, feeling the softness of her skin. "You aren't leaving yet are you Lydia? I want you to stay."

As he waited for her response, he decided he was not going to mention their past.

 

[LanaEide]

As Kyle left, saying it was what he had to do Lydia decided she would go back into the house, and so scooting back to the door she silently and opened it, just inside the house now and sighed. Lydia then was really thinking about leaving before someone touched her arm and she jumped before she heard Kyle's voice and Lydia turned around, looking guilty. Lydia new though that even if she wanted to stay she couldn't, she didn't belong here and spoke. "Look I'm sorry, I don't belong here, this party is too glamorous and too upper class and I come from the lower class. I am also needing to get up early tomorrow to go look for a second job as well get to my classes at the university." Lydia looked like she was torn, she had drank two of the drinks that had been out, trying to calm herself but what it did rather was make her more open to talking. "I sort of don't want to leave because I do like talking to you but I actually don't think you really want me to stay. I'm out of place here and this could ruin your reputation. Do you really want that? Just for the sake of being nice to your guests?" Even if Lydia had two drinks in her system she was still smart, for most upper class her being there and them talking to her would be a mark on their reputation, it was just how the world worked. Whether it was fair or not.

 

[Rocket1010]

Kyle could see that Lydia was concerned about something. He listened to her say she didn't belong at the party because it was too glamorous and upper class and she came from a lower class of people.

He was about to say something but she added that she had to get up early and look for a second job as well as go to classes. Kyle remained silent as she told him she wanted to stay but she thought he actually didn't want her to stay.

Kyle put his hands on her shoulders, giving her a warm smile. First of all Lydia you are not going to ruin my reputation. I can do all on my own." He chuckled at the thought of some of the things he did in the past. "Look if I didn't want you to stay I would not have asked you. I think you have some special qualities and I would like to get to know you better."

He saw her eyes scanning his face. "I know what it is to come from meager beginnings. Believe it or not, my family came from nothing so I know how you feel. Yes there are some guests here that are high society snobs who were raised with a silver spoon in their mouths but I didn't. I worked long hours seven days a week to build my business but I respect everyone."

"Tell you what why don't we go somewhere more quiet and talk. My staff can take care of whatever needs taken care of and promise, I won't be missed. What do you say Lydia? Tell me you'll stay for a little while."

He was sure now that this was the girl from the neighborhood who he had a crush on years ago. She didn't seem to remember him and for now he planned to keep it his little secret.

 

[LanaEide]

Lydia blushed as Kyle put his hands on her shoulders, giving her a smile. Lydia listened as he spoke, saying he could ruin his reputation on his own and Lydia almost raised an eyebrow at him but didn't. Then he said if he didn't want her to stay he wouldn't have asked her and he though she had some special qualities and wanted to get to know her. 'Me? Have special qualities? Like what? Struggling to get through life?' Lydia was skeptical but only because it was what the events in her life had taught her to be like. Lydia knew good things could be squashed or a trick, and Lydia didn't want to be easy prey. So Lydia looked at his face, trying to decipher if this was a trick or not when he spoke again. Now Lydia wasn't as skeptical but she was still a little bit. Money could change people. Lydia briefly wondered what happened to the boy she knew as a child but that thought went as briefly as it came.

Then Kyle asked if she wanted to go somewhere quieter to talk and Lydia bit her lip slightly before answering. "I would like to go somewhere quieter and talk but I think you will be missed. It's not good to leave everything to your staff just because of one person. Someone who now is in a totally different class, even if when you were younger it wasn't so." Lydia then thought about it and took a deep breath. "If you are sure you won't be missed and it's not a whole lot your staff have to take care of I guess I can stay a little longer. Only a little though." Lydia didn't know what it was about Kyle. Maybe it was his gentleness. Maybe it was that Lydia wanted someone other then her roommate to talk to. Either way Lydia wanted to stay at least a little bit longer and talk.

 

[Rocket1010]

Kyle guided Lydia through the kitchen and into the study off the living room. The room was lined with bookshelves and in front of the window was his large oak desk. On one wall was a leather sofa and it was there that Kyle sat.

"Please have a seat Lydia," he said patting the cushion next to him. The music from the patio drifted into the room but was muffled. No sounds could be heard from the crowd except for an occasional yell.

"Tell me a little about yourself. What are you studying in school and why do you need another job? He looked at Lydia realizing that she may not want to open up even though she had done so earlier. He wanted to know more about her and if he was correct, he may have a solution to her money problems.

"I'm glad you came tonight Lydia."

 

[LanaEide]

Lydia let Kyle guide her, nervous about him being away from the party. Wouldn't people actually miss him? Wasn't doing this wrong? Lydia felt like they should go back, well that Kyle should at least, but Lydia stayed silent. Maybe it would be okay. It was only for a little right? Then he would go back to the party and Lydia would leave. They weren't going to talk for long. With that in mind Lydia looked around the study when they got there, liking the fact that it had a lot of books. She wondered if there were any mythology books. Lydia was always interested in mythical and magical beings. She didn't know why but they interested her to no end. Lydia would spend hours upon hours at the library, reading romance fantasy novels. Even if she was interested in mythical and magical things she also liked romance. Steamy books always got to her. If they involved fantasy, it was even better. Then she noticed Kyle had sat down and was patting the seat beside him saying to take a seat.

"O-okay." Lydia then sat, angling her side to the back of the couch, facing Kyle. Then he asked about her situation and she was about to tell him, the few drinks still running through her system when he said that he was glad she came tonight. "W-well that's good." Lydia then took a deep breath. "Well I'm actually studying to become an artist. I have always loved drawing and coloring, I even color in adult coloring books in my free time." 'Which I don't have much of.' Lydia thought to herself. "But anyway I only have a job as a cashier at walmart and the art classes at the school are expensive, so I need another job to be able to pay for it. I'm in my 3rd year, so I'm actually taking the actual art classes. I wasn't in so much trouble before, just having the normal ones but now its the actual classes." Lydia sighed, twirling a bit of hair around her finger. "So I need another job, or I won't be able to pay for it, and there goes my dream. Though not a lot of people get their dream job, I have no other education except the basics, meaning no job except a low paying one." Lydia didn't want to sound whiny and she was getting a little embarrassed so she covered it up, smiling. "It's okay though, I will find a second job and be able to pay for it. I'm really alright." On the outside Lydia smile, on the inside though she sighed, knowing it wasn't so easy.

 

[Rocket1010]

Kyle listened to her talk about wanting to be an artist and how it was difficult for her to have the time to devote to her studies. He knew college was expensive and he was one of the lucky ones who had parents who were able to pay for his education. He knew so many kids who were saddled with large student loans who became disillusioned and dropped out of school. They had to take any job they could to make ends meet, pay their student loans, and try to get ahead in the world.

The more she talked, the more he remembered her and her family. Her parents were friends of his parents but they were not so fortunate to get out of the neighborhood. From what he could tell, Lydia had the right attitude to succeed but she needed a bit of help. He was not one to just give out money but if there was a way she could earn it, all the better.

He thought of how she might be able to work for him and satisfy some of his more erotic interests. But he was not about to just spring it on her. No she had to commit to it of her own free will or it would not work.

Just as he was about to broach the subject there was a knock on the door. "Kyle we need you out on the patio for some pictures to be used in the paper tomorrow."

"I'll be right there," he called out.

Looking at Lydia, he smiled warmly and took her hands into his. "Listen Lydia I may be able to help you achieve your dreams but I have to go attend to some social matters. If you have to leave I want you to have my phone number and call me as soon as you can and I can go over the details."

"Kyle .... please the photographer is waiting!"

"I told you I would be just a minute," he answered.

Pulling a card out of his billfold, he handed it to Lydia. "I do hope you will call me," He got up and pulled her to her feet. Pulling her into his arms, he smiled down at her. "I really am glad you came tonight," he whispered kissing her on the cheek.

"If you are not here when I return I understand but I hope you will call." With that he turned and walked out of the study to do his social obligation.

 

[LanaEide]

Lydia was silent after she spoke and watched as Kyle was about to speak before one of his staff came calling. Lydia said. 'I knew it, I knew he would be missed. I had even tried to fool myself into thinking he wouldn't be missed when I knew he would be.' Lydia then watched as Kyle yelled back before he turned to her. Then as he spoke Lydia grew quietly surprised. He was willing to help? Then his staff called again and he called back before turning back to Lydia again and she watched as he took the card out, gently taking it and looking at it. His phone number. Then he pulled her into his arms and Lydia blushed slightly as he looked down at her, her mind slightly fuzzy at being this close to a guy. Lydia had never been this close to a guy. Ever. Then he kissed her spoke before he kissed her on the cheek and she thought she would fall to her knees. Lydia didn't though even as he left and she sighed. Well there was no use staying her just waiting. She needed to go, she had to get up early tomorrow and she had a lot to think about tonight.

With that Lydia left the mansion and walked back to the place she was living at, Sarah gone. Lydia took off the clothes she had been wearing and got into her pajamas, sitting on her bed and starting to draw, thinking about Kyle's offer. Lydia didn't even know what he would want in return. Usually people wanted something in return for money or help. Which money is what Lydia need. After about an hour Lydia put her sketchbook in her carrier bag, turned the alarm on her cellphone on and went to sleep.

The next day Lydia's alarm woke her and she yawned, fumbling around trying to find it before dragging i to her and turning it off, a voice making Lydia open her eyes. "Hey Lydia, you still looking for another job? I wish you didn't have to do this, I would help if I could." That would be Lydia's roommate Sarah, the extra cheerful and helpful girl who payed for everything and Lydia got up, shaking her head and yawning again. "You already take care of all the rent Sarah, I couldn't ask for much else." Sarah giggled, her blonde hair swishing as Sarah walked away. "Well you wouldn't have any money to even go to class if I didn't, I wish I had more money. Well I gotta go, got to get to class." With that Sarah waved and left, leaving Lydia to get up and get ready for the day. Lydia took a shower, using the strawberry shampoo and conditioner before drying herself and her hair, blow drying to make sure it was at it's usually clean and nice self before getting on her clothes. She put on a matching pair of black underwear and bra before putting on her black button up shirt, the sleeves down to the elbows before putting on her dark pair of jeans, slim but comfortable. Then Lydia decided she would go out for a bit herself, grabbing her white grape juice, already in the thermos. Since she had no classes today she had been planning to go look for a job but instead she went to the cafe, having taken the card Kyle gave her and her phone, taking out her sketchbook. She always did her best thinking while drawing, Lydia was a multi tasker. If she wasn't doing more then one thing at a time she was bored.

Finally after about two hours Lydia sighed and took out the card and her phone, dialing the number before putting it to her ear. It rang a couple of times before she heard the click of someone picking up and she spoke. "Um hello, this is Lydia. Is this Kyle?" Lydia was nervous and bit her lip as she waited for the answer, not sure if this was the best decision but it was better then trying to get a job. Another one.

 

[Rocket1010]

Kyle hated to leave Lydia to attend to the boring social issues like having his picture taken for the society pages of the newspaper. He already could imagine the pictures showing up in the newspaper and all over social media. That was one thing he didn't like about his position, having to deal with things people wrote about him which weren't true. When the picture session was completed he returned to the study hoping to find Lydia still there but she was gone. He hoped she would call him.

For the rest of the evening he visited with his guests, talking art and literature, sports, and just everyday things. One thing about being an eligible bachelor was the women who wanted to hang on his arm and hope for a chance to get close to him. Tonight was no different. He could have his pick of single women and some of the married women who found him attractive. Usually he would invite or a few of them to stay but tonight he preferred to sleep alone.

The next day was busy taking care of business but he wondered if Lydia would call. He had been thinking about what he told her about helping her. Of course every deal or contract came with some stipulations and with her it would be no different. Even though he had a thing for her when they were younger and he knew her parents, she didn't seem to remember the short time they played together as kids.

Kyle was talking to a client when he felt his phone buzzing in his pocket. He excused himself, looking at the strange number. He didn't recognize it and there was no name associated with it.

"Um hello, this is Lydia. Is this Kyle?"

Kyle smiled when he heard the soft voice of Lydia on the other end. "Yes this is Kyle and I'm so glad you called Lydia. I was hoping to hear from you."

Their conversation from last night quickly ran in his mind and he had the feeling she was a bit shy so he jumped right to the point. "I really enjoyed our talk last night and I'm wondering if we could get together and talk about my thoughts on helping you. Say dinner this evening at my place."

If she agreed, he wondered how she would react to his offer which, would carry with a contract for services, some of them more erotic and pleasurable than just the mundane tasks of most domestic contracts.

 

[LanaEide]

Lydia blushed as she heard Kyle on the other end and hurried to hide her blush from the other people at the cafe. It was very embarrassing to be blushing just cause she heard a man's voice. Even more a man she barely knew. Something about Kyle stirred her though, making her want to get to know him better. In more then one way. And not all of those ways were appropriate either. Lydia though had grown up being warned to not let a rich man try to buy you. Those were dangerous men and though a few were good, most would throw you away after they were done. Then Kyle said he enjoyed their time last night and Lydia stayed quiet before he said he wanted to continue the thoughts about his help, and asked for dinner tonight at his place. "Alright, how about at 6?" That would give Lydia enough time to get ready as she looked at the clock, which said it was 12:30. After Kyle answered Lydia said she would see him then and then said goodbye, ending the call before getting her stuff together and going home.

Once home she made sure she looked nice in the mirror before getting a sort of lacey pair of underwear on and a matching bra, not knowing why she was doing this, it was only a discussion on how to help her but Lydia wanted to and then she got on her nice silky black top that hugged her and went to her elbows and she then got on a snug fitting pair of black skinny jeans, liking how they hugged her and she took a deep breath. She also brushed her teeth about 3 times and brushed her hair, making sure it was shiny and fluffy and considered putting it in a ponytail but decided to leave it down. She then put on her only pair of high heels, black in color and put on a bit of pink lipstick and a little of her sweet smelling perfume. Lydia didn't know what was going through her mind but she decided she wasn't going back and in good time got in a cab and arrived at Kyle's door right on time, knocking on it, nervous but forced herself not to ruin the lipstick by biting her lip. A bad habit.

 

[Rocket1010]

Kyle was in his study when he heard the front door bell ring and then saw, Robert, his servant walking to the door. "I'll get it Robert," he said getting out of his leather chair and quickly walking to the front door.

When he opened the door, he smiled at the beautiful woman standing before him. He took in her silky black top that hugged her tightly showing off her curves, especially her breasts. He glanced down seeing the snug fitting black skinny jeans that accentuated her legs and ass. When he looked back at her, seeing the pink lipstick, he grinned. "Excuse me for staring Lydia. "It's not everyday I get to gaze on such a good looking woman."

Some women liked flattery and others didn't. That didn't stop Kyle from telling women how he felt and if they liked it fine, if not well they would have to deal with there own self image.

"How rude of me. Please come in and make yourself at home." He held the door open for her and got a whiff of her sweet perfume fragrance as she passed close to him. "Dinner will be ready shortly. Why don't we go out to the pool and have a cocktail before dinner." He smiled when she said yes and he led them through the spacious house to the pool area.

"Looks a little different than last night," he commented offering her a chair and then sitting next to her. He knew from business that where one sits is sometimes crucial to getting a deal. Rather than sitting across from her in a more authoritative posture, he sat next to her.

A young woman not more than 18 appeared. "This is Sophia." He introduced them and then asked. "What would you like to drink?"

 

[LanaEide]

Lydia smiled back at Kyle when he opened the door, trying to to blush as she saw him look her over before his smile got wider. Then he apologized for staring and Lydia shook her head. "I'm not really that pretty, but thanks." One thing about Lydia, even though she might be slightly jaded towards fancy rich people and have a sharp tongue she was modest and humble, though she did try to take compliments. It was just hard. Especially when she was bullied all 3 years of middle school being called ugly. So yeah, kinda hard. Lydia was trying though. With the help of Sarah. Then he invited her inside and she did a slight nod of her head. "Thank you." Lydia then stepped in and past him, looking around as he spoke about dinner. Then he said about having a cocktail and though Lydia didn't really know the names of cocktails she nodded and said yes before following him outside to the pool.

As Lydia looked around she found it was actually quite nice. It looked a little different because no people were around it and it was daytime but it was still really nice, like a rich fancy person's backyard. Kyle was rich, though she didn't know how fancy he was. By fancy Lydia meant they had to have everything gorgeous and only the best of everything. If it was anything less they didn't like it or treated it not as good. Like people. Kyle didn't seem that way but guys if they were playboys always seemed that way at first. Only time would tell if he truly was different thought Lydia. Lydia then heard Kyle speak and sat in the chair he motioned and nodded. "Yes, not as many people and it's the daytime, though it is sort of in the evening." Lydia then saw Sophia come up and smiled gently. "Just something fruity and sweet please and not a lot of alcohol. I still need to go home tonight but get thirsty rather quickly. Other then that give me whatever you think best." Lydia then smiled once again at the cute girl before turning her attention back to Kyle, trying to size him up and see if he had ulterior motives in this. If he did well.....Lydia didn't take too kindly to those type of men and women.

Kyle smiled when Lydia ordered something fruity and sweet but not a lot of alcohol because she still had to go home tonight. He wondered if she would drink something stronger if she knew she didn't have to go home. That was a topic for later.

Sophia brought there drinks and Kyle sipped his bourbon neat while Lydia drank a rather fruity drink with a little rum added for taste. "I hope your drink is satisfactory Lydia."

Kyle looked at her, remembering her from years ago and it was evident she didn't remember him and his family. He decided to keep that to himself for right now. He wanted to help her but he did have an ulterior motive and that motive was for her to become his personal companion, some people called them sugar daddies.

He decided to broach the subject right away rather than letting it linger. If she was willing to listen and accept his offer, all the better. If not then she would probably leave right away and no harm would be done.

"I told you last night that I might be able to help you but as you know nothing comes free or without conditions. I think you may have a lot of potential and I understand that you are strapped for money to finish school. What would you say if I offered you an opportunity to live here and finish your college education free of monetary worries? You would not have to work giving you time to devote to your studies without worry where the money is coming from."

Kyle stopped and took another sip of his bourbon letting what he said soak in. He knew she would have a lot of questions but for now he wanted the idea of her not having monetary worries to sink into her brain.

Lydia nodded as she sipped her drink. "Yes, I love fruity and sweet things. Well in drinks and food anyway. No spicy things or bitter. Just not to my tastes." As Lydia sipped her drink she looked around, anxious. What was Kyle going to ask of her? Was he a good guy and was going to ask something mudane of her or was he not. Either way, with how Lydia was going now soon she would have to drop out of school. Maybe she would have to take his deal whatever it was, even if she didn't agree with it. Lydia pushed that thought to the back of her head when Kyle spoke again. Lydia listened and really like the idea. Not having to work and being able to focus on her studies, with a roof over her head and food and it was a nice place to draw. What was he going to ask in return though? Time to find out. Lydia then took a deep breath before speaking, putting some of her hair behind her ear as she started to speak. "Well, this deal does sound lovely I agree. Not having to work and being able to have a place to stay and being able to focus on my studies more. What do you want in return though for this? You don't usually get something for nothing you know. So I know you want something." Lydia narrowed her eyes then, praying this wasn't going to be a deal she would not like. That would make being around him harder, even if it was better for a time. Lydia sipped her drink as she waited for Kyle to answer, taking a few deep breaths as well.

Kyle smiled at Lydia when she took a deep breath and then pushed some of the curls behind her ear. He listened as she told him the deal sounded lovely and she would enjoy not working, a place to stay, and focusing on her school work. Then she stopped and he saw the questioning look on her face and he knew what question she was going to ask. He was prepared for it when she asked. “What do you want in return though for this? You don't usually get something for nothing you know. So I know you want something."

He had an investigator do some research on her and he knew of her financial issues as well as staying with a friend who let her live there practically free. The job at Walmart was a dead end job for a person of Lydia’s talents. His investigator had called the school and found out that she was a promising artist. Unfortunately there was very little money to be given out for a scholarship and he knew she was on her own.

He saw her eyes narrow, waiting intently for his answer, taking a sip of her drink. When she put it down, he reached out to take both hands in his, feeling how soft they were in his larger hands.

“What I am offering you is an opportunity to pursue your dreams. And you are right, you never get anything for nothing without giving something in return.” He stopped for a moment, seeing she knew what he was talking about and knew he had to lay his cards out on the table. Whatever happens …. happens as the old saying goes. If she decides to not take him up on his offer then she can go back to her way of life and he will continue his search.

“Lydia if you accept my offer then you may pursue your education during the day. But at night and on the weekends you are mine to do as I wish for mine and your pleasures. I am sure you have some sensual fantasies that are secret to only you and you would like to play them out. I am here to make those fantasies come true as well as share some of my fantasies with you. There will be a lot of pleasure and some pleasurable pain that ultimately leads to your pleasure.”

Kyle knew this was a lot to dump on her. His plan was to start slow and introduce her to the pleasures of love and bondage where the ultimate end is pleasurable orgasms. And as some point he would have to tell her that they knew each other as kids and what would she think when she found out. She may have not known it but he had a crush on her for a long time. “I know this is a lot to think about Lydia and if you want to take some time to think about it, please do. I will give you two days to think it over, if you need it and then I would want to have an answer.”

Sophia approached as he finished talking. “Dinner is ready sir.”

“Thank you Sophia. Are you hungry Lydia? If you have any questions, we can discuss them over dinner.”

 

[LanaEide]

Lydia watched as Kyle took her hands, blinking in surprise before hearing him speak. He then paused after saying that he was giving her a chance to pursue her dreams but he did need something. Then he said what he wanted and immediately Lydia snatched her hands out of his. So he was just another rich guy wanting a toy. Lydia sighed. Of course. Lydia wasn't that lucky to find a guy who actually wanted to help her. No, she just found a guy who wanted a toy. After Sophia came and left Lydia nodded. "I am hungry, though most of my appetite is lost and I do have one question. Do you really want a toy so badly that you would take a girl that has financial troubles just to get one? I'm sure you could have any woman of your choice so why push me into this position hmm? Why take the one who really doesn't want to do this but sort of has to because of her financial troubles? Just why? Also for starters I have no sensual fantasies to speak of, no time for them Second I HATE pain. HATE it. Even if it would be mixed with pleasure it is a strict NO NO. So first time you inflict pain I will be out of her faster then you can say "wait". Also if you are wondering I will accept your offer, but you just made yourself like all the other rich people. Just when I was hoping you would be different." Lydia then turned her head so she wasn't facing him, taking her drink again and downing the last part of it. Now she was going to ask for something stronger, just cause she needed it to stay around Kyle right now. Really Lydia was hurt. Even though she knew she shouldn't be. The nice ones were always the more dangerous but Lydia had fallen right into his trap. Lydia sighed. Of course she wasn't lucky. Back to being sad and lonely. Just when she thought she had finally met someone she could talk to, he had to say that.

 

[Rocket1010]

Kyle listened to Lydia not saying a word. He had misjudged her. When she had finished her drink, he stood up. "Please follow me Lydia." They walked through the house and he saw Robert, one of his very trusted staff.

They walked to the front door and Kyle turned to Lydia. "I'm sorry I misjudged you and for that I am sorry. Robert will drive you home."

With that Kyle turned and walked into his study without another word. Just as he closed the door, he looked back and gave Lydia a smile. "I hope everything works out for you and when you see your parents, tell them I said hello. They will know what you mean."

Closing the door, he went to the desk, picked up a book he was reading and opened it. Yes it was a shame but he was up front with his thoughts and like he had reminded himself, if it happens .... it happens. If not you move on.

 

[LanaEide]

Lydia watched Kyle react and was surprised. She walked with him before seeing it was the front door and his staff, before being really confused as she said he had misjudged her. Wait what? HE misjudged HER? She thought she had misjudge him. What was going on? Then he went back to his study, turning to her one more time and saying that when she saw her parents to tell them he said hi and she was struck with pain. Her parents were dead. It was the only reason she was living with Sarah. Then she got irritated again and looking at Robert smiled slightly. "Sorry but I need to talk to Kyle some more." With that she whipped around and went to his study, opening the door and going inside before going up to him, on the opposite side of his desk. Before starting to speak calmly. "We aren't finished speaking. First my parents are dead. It's the only reason I'm staying at the dorms at the college. Second off what do you mean you misjudged me?! I thought I misjudged you, thinking you were different from all the other rich people wanting to use women as their toys. Sorry but it's true. I thought that though and thought I was finally lucky to have someone to talk to and enjoy my time with besides me roommate. Yes my roommate is wonderful but as the only person to talk to, we get annoyed at each other sometimes and my stress doesn't make it any better. Also you at least after dumping that on me owe me an explanation as to what you mean by you "misjudged me". Also if you didn't hear me I ACCEPTED YOUR OFFER." Lydia let out a big breath then before looking sort of guiltily at Kyle. She really didn't want to go off on people but he had just hit a cord with her.

Seriously, misjudged her? Did he mean about her willingly jumping into his arms to be a toy? Then yes, sort of. Lydia wasn't like most girls. If it weren't for the fact that she really needed the money she wouldn't have said yes to his proposal the first time around. Then though he had to go and confuse her. "I'm sorry if I made a misjudgment of you but you said for sexual things, usually when a rich guy says that to a girl, and that they are his and have to do what he says, usually the are a toy to him. It's how it usually goes. Look, to admit it, I do have a few fantasies in my head, but I meant what I said about pain, I really hate it. Maybe its cause in my past I have a lot but, still." Lydia then stopped again, looking nervous. When Kyle had basically dropped her off at the front door before saying bye, Lydia had felt like and abandoned puppy. Lydia didn't know what to do but she had to show him she wanted his offer. Even if she knew she was jumping into exactly what her mother had told her not to. Lydia just didn't know how so she stayed where she was with an anxious expression on her face, really at this moment feeling like a puppy.

 

[Rocket1010]

Kyle smiled at Lydia when she told him they weren't finished talking. After she had a chance to speak her mind, he sat back in the leather chair, his hands folded and took in all she had to say now and at poolside. Please allow me to speak candidly to you Lydia.

First, I am sorry to hear your parents are dead. I knew them when I grew up in the neighborhood and my parents were good friends with your parents. You told me you live in the dorm but by the pool you told me you live with your friend Sarah in an apartment."

He took a breath. "I did misjudge you. You see you want to control this contract between us. You think just because I am rich I get what I want when I want it. You are sadly mistaken there. I am no different than any other man who happens to be rich, middle income, or poor when it comes to negotiations. You will learn someday that you never get anything for free. It just doesn't happen. That is what you thought you were getting something for free, a free education, and free to do as you wish while you live under my roof. What are you giving me in return?"

He looked out the window seeing the sun beginning to set in the west. "I am not using you for a toy. I simply said that we could have some pleasurable times together and I do have a few, as one might say, fantasies. But you told me at the pool you didn't have time for fantasies and now you tell me you do. What is the truth Lydia? Do you or don't you have any sexual fantasies?"

He continued, "You did say you accepted my offer but I believe it is only on your terms. You say you don't have any fantasies and at the first hint of pain you are out of here. If I remember correctly you said you HATE pain and at the first time I would inflict pain you are out of here. You said even it is mixed with pleasure it is a strict NO NO. You don't even know what pleasurable pain I'm referring too. I believe you only wanted to accept my offer because I offered you something you don't have but I don't see any benefits for me. Only giving you a free education and a roof over your head. What would you offer me in return for my generous offer?"

He sighed and continued. You told me I am just like any other rich person and you thought I would be different. Evidently some rich people have wronged you or you have read something on social media from someone who has an axe to grind. So you see Lydia you grouped me into a class of people with the benefit of knowing anything personally about me. You don't know my likes and dislikes and how I work hard and long hours. You have judged me already and since we are talking quite frankly, you made assumptions that you know nothing about. Each person is different in their own right and I give the benefit of the doubt to everyone, wanting to see the good in people and not categorizing someone by their social standing."

"I think you should take some time to reflect what I am offering and if you want to accept my offer, you should know that there are rules and if you balk at them, the offer is off the table."

Kyle sat back in his leather chair watching and waiting for Lydia to speak.
