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

Micheal sneered again as he watched her thinking over what he had offered her, his hand still held out to her and waiting for her to take it. He watched as the papers she had held fell to the floor as though she had forgotten all about them and he was a little surprised to see that they appeared to be completely blank. Could it be that the statistics she had held were only a simple bluff, an attempt on her part to make it look as though she had an ace up her sleeve when in truth there was nothing there at all. He almost had to laugh at the thought, had he noticed a little earlier and revealed her for the liar that she was he would have simply needed to reveal that attempt at deceit to the crowd and let shame do the rest. Of course if he hadn't done that then he wouldn't have been able to get her to enter the game he had drawn her into, maybe she had believed she was standing on equal footing with him in this auditorium but in what was to follow he had every advantage. He had no doubt that he would quickly be able to convince her to throw in the towel but that would be far too simple and tedious, instead Micheal intended to draw out the experience for a while, to leave her craving his every touch and begging for the abuse that she would be subjected too. In six months time he was certain that he could turn her into a perfectly well behaved little plaything, showing her off in public would be the sort of publicity that a man in his position couldn't buy. As he was blocked from her view by her boyfriends second attempt to talk sense into her Micheal's sneer became a lecherous grin, images of her laying bruised, broken, and naked before him slipping through his mind. The money will of course be placed in escrow as soon as I am able to contact my accountant, the details will be made public so that everyone who witnesses this will know that it is all above the board. He assured her, again for the benefit of the camera as he took hold of her hand firmly, squeezing just enough to make it clear how much stronger then her he was without causing too much pain, the pain would come later on. He had almost no doubt that she would try to get out of the deal that they had arranged, of course something like this would be considered distasteful to her and maybe she felt she could be clever enough to pull it off without it looking like she was afraid of the consequences. Well I would hate to have my phone number lost in the quagmire that is University bureaucracy. He said with a smile and a small wink, all good cheer for the cameras to hide the glimmer of lust in his eyes. With his off hand he set the microphone back on the stage behind him, reaching into his pocket and drawing out a business card, black with stylized red lettering, one of a few he had brought around in case he met a suitably attractive young woman that would enjoy being featured in one of his films... of course he had found one in Katherine though she might not understand it just yet. A quick flourish of the card, ensuring that the lights in the auditorium caught on the shinning lettering, and it was offered to her. Why don't you just call me in a few days and we can arrange to have dinner, somewhere discrete where we can hammer out the details privately. He had a few restaurants in mind for that sort of thing but getting her to show up was first priority of course.
