He doesn’t speak, so I do.
“You bought the entire business,” I state.
“I’m not admitting anything you will shout at me,” he says while smirking.
“You just did by saying that. Why did you buy the business? It’s not a business you would usually get involved with,” I ask.
“I know if I bought it, I could control Elon. If not, then I could fire him and replace him. You refused to let me help you by buying you out or paying for you. You can’t tell me off for this, as I didn’t buy you out. I bought the business,” he says while smiling.
“I won’t shout at you for it, but we need to speak. We need some rules and stuff, Eros,” I say, knowing I need to set rules so he doesn’t keep doing stupid things with his money, like buying me all that stuff as if I am living here.
“I already know your limits, Lexi, along with your rules. You don’t have many limits, remember?” He smirks at me. I like it when he calls me Lexi, it feels different.
“I didn’t mean for while you’re fucking me in that room. I mean
for life, everyday life,” I state.
“Okay, what are your hard limits for life?” he asks.
“You not buying me things,” I state, and he laughs.
“I think you’re too late to put that rule into place.” He sits, smirking.
“I’m not, going forward, there is a limit to how much you spend on me, Eros,” I argue.
“How do we agree on this limit?”
He looked at me, waiting, and I hadn’t considered that.
“What will this limit include? Is it just me buying you physical things, or does it also mean if we go out for food, dates and such? Will those things be added to the limit? How about birthdays, will that be part of the limit, and holidays? Weekends away?”
“Fine, no limit. You win,” I reply, and he sits laughing. You’re not funny, Eros,” I say, knowing he said it on purpose.
“Oh, but I am. I get to you that money is an issue. You like to be independent and not rely on anyone or take much from people. Don’t see this as you losing your independence. You will still

I will try, but it will be hard.
“So, I wanted to discuss some changes with you in regard to the business,” he says. “As someone who works there, I figured you would be the better person to ask so that changes are made for good reasons.”
“What changes, Eros?” I ask.
“Well, for one, the contracts would state that even if the company is producing and editing the footage, no one can hire you for the night. Strictly porn, nothing like what we did would be allowed.” He smiles at me.
“I know that you want to protect me, but it shouldn’t be down to me alone. Ask others. Some of them are happy for that to happen, just as many were happy to sleep with Elon for money,” I explain.
“That will stop, workers can’t do that. Under no circumstances can the producers and such sleep with the women or men,” he explains, and I laugh.
“Well, it looks like you won’t be fucking me anymore then,” I joke, and he groans.
“That’s different, if they like each other, fine, but if it’s for money,

no.”
All I can do is nod, as it is good, but he needs to make sure it’s followed through. What Elon was doing was against the rules, but he did it anyway as the person who owed the business didn’t give a damn.
“You mentioning Clara; how about a contract that states no hard limits can be mentioned or done? It means situations like Clara’s won’t happen as legally they can not even suggest it to her.”
I nod quickly. “That would be good. They have you fill out forms, but it isn’t anything legal. It is just you saying what you’re happy to do and not.” That is a change I can get on board with.
“Clara had also mentioned that you had no choice over who you filmed with, is that right?” He looks at me.
“She mentioned Wesley,” I say. He nods and smiles.
“No, we don’t. If less, we put in a complaint, but we know from doing that it just makes the whole thing worse. The men would then treat us like crap. If not, Elon would just not give us work for weeks.” We learnt quickly that complaining didn’t do any _good.
The lift opens and I furn to see Clara, she runs to me and I hug her.

“Why are you here?” I stare at her confused.
“I thought I would see you for a bit before tonight, plus I’m coming with you and Eros,” she says, and I look at him.
“We’re going in. I’m getting everyone’s feedback and telling them the new rules. Since you’re still working there, I figured you should join me, and Clara, well, she should get a say as well, as she used to work there.” He stands and grabs his phone.
We leave and I sit staring at Eros, he’s confusing me today. Clara is happy, and I can see she has questions. Most of which will need to be left until tonight, I need to make Eros aware I’m busy tonight.
I told Clara we would celebrate her getting free from the business. Although, now I feel like she is going to go back because what else can she do for money when she can’t work such long hours?
I’ll need to speak to her about that tonight, make her aware I’m happy to help her past the costs if she stays out of the
business. She’s never had a real relationship because she was working the business.
She needs to focus on herself now.
