think you’re coming off like a male chauvinist, it’s likely that some women will too. I do think it would help if you smiled, though.”
Julian attempted to ignore this recommendation but she was far too attractive to stay mad at for long, particularly in her cardigan, tweed skirt, stack-heeled oxfords and anklets.
“Great smile,” Laura said encouragingly, snapping several portrait shots. “Now do me a favor and fold your arms. Go back to being stern.” Laura took her shot. “Thank you. Now may we continue taping?”
“Yes,” he said, unable to remember for a moment why they had stopped. The fact that he had been powerfully annoyed by Laura Random only minutes earlier suddenly eluded him, though he remembered as soon as she got the camera rolling again.
“Julian, would you spoil your submissive?”
“I’m looking for a girl to spoil. I enjoy going shopping and live only a couple of blocks from Rodeo Drive.” Now Dr. Honeywell smiled again.
“And I suppose that for the right girl you’d throw in a nose bob?”
“Cut!” cried Julian in exasperation. Laura hastily paused her camera and peeked out from behind it.
“Is something wrong?”
“I don’t appreciate that kind of sarcasm. Particularly not at my expense. Now, are you going to start behaving like a professional?”
Laura stood up to him with a pounding heart and shakily replied, “I apologize if I offended you, Dr. Honeywell. I see now that my lightheartedness was inappropriate.”
Julian looked skeptical.
“I’m very sorry.” She hung her head meekly. Then she peeked up at him. “Can we finish the taping now?”
“Haven’t you got enough?”
“I have pages more questions.”
“You’re kidding.”
“I offered to let you see them.”
“I’ll take two more questions. This is far too nerve wracking to endure any more than that.”
Laura set the camera rolling again and glanced through her questions. Then she smiled and plunged in once more.
“Julian, could you relate to a woman who entertained anal-erotic fantasies?”
“Actually, as a physician, I have a state of the art examining room and am extremely interested in meeting women with medical fantasies. I would guess that any woman who was anal erotic would be a natural candidate for enemas. I can certainly administer them and enjoy doing so.”
“Finally, Julian, what’s your favorite way to make love?”
“I’m flexible, but have a partiality for taking ladies from behind.”
Some twenty minutes later, Patricia Fairservis and Marguerite Alexander sat with Julian in Patricia’s lighthouse reviewing the tape. Both were smartly suited and alert as they considered their first wealthy client’s possibilities. Laura busied herself making coffee and pleased Julian by serving him.
“Well, I see no problem here,” said Patricia enthusiastically. “You’re a great catch.”
“Laura seemed to think I was conveying the impression of being chauvinistic,” he told them, giving Laura a glance as she sat down.
“Well, naturally your requirements for a classic submissive are going to lose you some possibilities, but not a significant number,” Marguerite informed him.
“I understood that most of your female subscribers were submissive,” he said, becoming irritated all over again.
“Oh, they are,” said Marguerite, “but to varying degrees.”
“We can always edit the tape to make it a little more innocuous,” Patricia suggested.
“I suggest we try it as it is,” said Marguerite. “If Dr. Honeywell knows what he wants, he might as well get it.”
“What part would you suggest editing?” Julian asked, unsure as to whether he was hating or enjoying confronting the three of them like this.
“The part about sexual servitude,” Patricia promptly replied.
“I disagree, Patricia,” said Marguerite firmly. “It’s best if this requirement is stated up front. Otherwise you might run into an awkward situation on a date.”
“I think the remark has to go,” Patricia firmly stated, “unless you want to come off sounding B&D sleazy.”
“Okay, I’ll take your advice,” he told Patricia, only slightly wounded.
“Wonderful,” said Marguerite.
“So, what happens next?”
“Well,” said Marguerite, “there are several options open to you at this point. The first is to simply run your ad and photo in our catalog for as many months as it takes for you to attract a compatible mate. With all you have to offer, one or two issues should do it.”
“Tell me about the other options.”
“Well, you’ve just made a video. You might want to order a supply of your tape from us, and then have it on hand to send to the more tempting respondents to your ad.”
“Sure. I’ll order a case if you think it will help.”
“You won’t need more than a couple of dozen,” murmured Marguerite, aware of what a prize Dr. Honeywell was.
“Anything else?”
“There is one other thing,” said Marguerite, “but I don’t think you’ll need it.”
“Tell me.”
“Private introductions,” she replied.
“Private introductions?” he was intrigued and excited.
“Research is expensive and of course does take time,” explained Marguerite, “but we can find you a brilliant submissive.”
“Guaranteed?”
“No. But you only have to pay if we achieve success.”
“Find me someone like Laura Random,” said Julian when Laura slipped out of the room with the coffee tray. Marguerite and Patricia exchanged a smile.
“Now girls, don’t get too excited,” Marguerite cautioned after Julian had departed. “You know he’ll be inundated as soon as his photo ad comes out. He may never have recourse to a personal introduction.”
“Meanwhile, he gave us the authorization to get busy,” Patricia reminded her.
“That’s true,” said Marguerite.
“He won’t feel satisfied unless we force him to spend money,” Patricia observed.
“When you promised him we’d find a brilliant submissive, Marguerite, did you mean an extremely smart or an extremely servile one?” asked Laura.
“Either,” replied the redhead gaily.
“You know he’s staying in the village tonight,” said Patricia.
“He might appreciate some company for dinner,” Marguerite returned, then both she and Patricia looked at Laura.
“He liked you,” said Patricia.
“Yes, he liked you best,” agreed Marguerite.
“No, he didn’t,” Laura disagreed.
“He told us he wanted us to find him someone just like you,” said Patricia.
“You must be hallucinating. I almost lost him during the interview because I asked some questions that revealed what a ball buster he really is,” Laura declared.
