Thread: Can She Rise To The Challenge (google and skittish_butterfly)

The gasp of the crowd at the mention of the money was something that made Micheal practically swell with pleasure, it was just what he needed to make sure it all went perfectly. It was funny, even in the recession the porno business had made quite a lot of money, grown even as it seemed people needed to find some kind release from the downturn that their loves were otherwise taking. He could afford the hundred thousand dollars even if he somehow failed to win this little bet, which he was certain he wouldn't... but when it was over he would likely end up donating the money to a woman's shelter anyway, do it just quietly enough that it looked as though he were trying to be humble about it but ensure his name was leaked, after all that sort of publicity never hurt. The demand that he quit didn't phase him either, he was absolutely certain that he wouldn't loose... but should the unthinkable happen he had a sizeable saving account and his other career to fall back on, the books that he wrote under his birth name might not break into the top ten of the New York Times but he did love to write and being published was a secret pleasure for him, one that he could make a living off of should he need to retire from porn. It was the boyfriend though that he owed his thanks too, he had seen that she was ready for some sort of rebuttal, some sort of commentary that she might think would end this little game she had jumped into. The young man was predictable as all young men his age were, so ready to defend the honor of a young woman, not knowing that by opening his mouth he had made her look weak, as though she had needed his help. Micheal glanced over to him, a look of what almost might be pity in his eyes before he looked back to Katherine. Well I think we can add one more tiny condition. He said slowly, knowing the crowd was practically waiting with baited breath, wondering what trick he might have up his sleeve, what last little ploy he might be planning to make this unthinkable for her and make her back out. Whomever is proven wrong at the end of this little experiment will deliver a public address admitting they failed, with the party proven right having editorial control over the address. Of course it was a nasty little trick there, offering her a chance to write an apology speech for him, not knowing that when she lost he would have her deliver whatever speech he wrote from her while preforming on camera, something he figured might sell rather well. No doubt he already had some fans watching this little confrontation streaming online, hoping to see her naked on camera, hoping to see her in the compromising positions that Micheal enjoyed putting women her age in. The crowd was murmuring quietly now, people wanted to hear what was happening but they also wanted to check to see if others were seeing the same thing, a strange dream they all seemed to be sharing at once. Of course he didn't want to give them too long to talk amongst themselves or let Katherine retake the initiative of this little game, it was only just starting of course but keeping initiative was important. Holding the microwave in his left hand and offering her his right he smiled, the consummate and friendly competitor to those who had no idea what was in store for her, and for those who did know he was a man gloating with the knowledge of what he would soon enjoy doing. Well then Katherine, if that is an acceptable condition for this then I think we can seal the arrangement with a shake and settle out the final details in the near future, no need to discuss the intimacies of our little experiment so publicly. No he just wanted a little time to think and plan, but getting her to shake now, to commit so publicly, this was vital.
