You take lunch alone and spend much of it outside on a park bench with your laptop, creating a new intro and outro for your porn videos. You're no graphic designer and it shows, with choppy animation and some weak editing, but you manage, after a full hour, to get something together that can act as a binding theme.
Unfortunately, you're not sure what – if any – benefit this will have. People don't come to your videos to look at intros and outros, and the first few comments you get after putting them in place are actually quite negative about the changes, saying that you're forcing them to sit through pointless self-advertising when they're already there on your videos.
"I'm here to see tits and ass, not have my time wasted with an intro. 0/10."
You're sure they'll get used to it in time and stop complaining, but putting more content between your viewers and the porn they're there for isn't going to make them any happier, nor will it draw you any extra custom.
On the bright side, your efforts to hype up your presence at the expo seem to be going a little better. You mention it a few times, and that you'll have signed merchandise of the girls available. Some of them seem disappointed their precious Bun-Bun won't be there, but you mention limited edition posters and they cheer up.
Making those intros took a little longer than you expected, so you dart back to the hotel for a shower and a change of clothes, then go through the script one last time with Emerald. She listens, nodding at the right places, and you're sure she'll do a great job while you're out. Freshened up for your date, you swing by a florist and ask the lady working there for some advice on romance – but not too forward – flowers.
"First date?" she asks, and you nod. "I know just the ones."
She hands you a bouquet of bright and colourful flowers in purples, pinks and yellows, which she assures you will smell great and brighten up the home without carrying the same weight as a set of red roses. It's 75 lien for the bouquet, which is steep, but she's already picked and handed you them by then, so you can't really say no.
You knock on Kali's door around 6 in the evening, when she's off work and had time to get changed, holding a bouquet of flowers and wondering if you're doing the right thing or not. She's more than twice your age and your financial situation isn't great.
On the other hand, she's smoking hot, and a little pleasure in between all the business never hurt anyone. Plus, she has a daughter you can't help but think would make you some serious money. Kali could as well, if you could swing a way to convince her into starring in your movies. Maybe she'd be willing to if it was just you and her in a romantic movie, but that'll only be after you come clean about what you do and if she still wants to date you.
When the door opens, you come face to face with the beauty herself and are left speechless.
The red and gold dress clings to her body, with a singular black sleeve and black thigh-high stockings. There's a clear view through to her bosom, while her wide, womanly hips are on full display. You're no stranger to beautiful girls running a porn studio, but someone like Velvet couldn't pull off such a revealing dress and do so with this level of confidence.
"Good God!"
Kali flushes slightly, and glances aside. "Too much? I did wonder if I wasn't too old to pull this old number off."
"You pull it off, Kali. Good lord but you pull it off." You cough to regain yourself and offer the flowers. "Apologies for my moment of shock, but it's not everyday a guy runs into someone so absolutely gorgeous."
"Oh, you!" Kali takes the flowers and bats her eyelashes your way. "Let me find a vase for these, and, really, it's nothing special. I just thought I should dress up for our first official date. I hope I'm not overdressed."
Most women would say she's underdressed, though you're sure their husbands or boyfriends would be slavishly agreeing with whatever Kali said at this point. As she turns away, her large ass fills your vision, and you're reminded of all the reasons why, wise or not, you went home with this woman.
"So," she says, fluffing the flowers on her dining room table. "Where are we going this evening?"
Kali has quite clearly put a lot of effort into dressing up for tonight, makeup included, so you toss the idea of catching a movie right out the window. The bar goes with it. Kali obviously expects a restaurant, and you can't really deny her that right now without making the date go down in flames.
Instead, your bank balance will be going down 250 lien. Hopefully, the video tonight will make that back, or you might need to do a little more pimping on Saturday to keep things trucking along.
You escort her to the restaurant you scouted before, which is only a short distance away. It's fancy enough to have waitresses and waiters coming and going, and the food has good reviews online. It's hard to find bad restaurants in a place as expensive as Vale. The truly up-market places serve more exotic courses than this, however. The one you chose ahead of time is a halfway point, where meals still come in three courses and aren't so obscure as to require advanced education to understand them.
Kali turns her eyes as you arrive, and you walk beside her with an arm around her waist. You're seen to a table, and you're quick to draw her chair out for her as you were taught.
"Such a gentleman," she says, and sits down. "I could get used to this."
"Here's hoping that you have the chance to," you reply.
A waiter soon comes up with menus for you and you order a bottle of red wine. This is a romantic date after all, and you'd like to see it head somewhere fun tonight. Kali smiles encouragingly, and you tap your glasses together in a light toast before drinking. To her, it's probably a nice red, but it's nothing special to you.
Your palate has been elevated higher than most people's thanks to your upbringing, and that's not always a good thing. You wish at times you could feel the same enjoyment for simple food and drink that others do, rather than have to compare everything to when your family were fabulously rich and exclusive vineyards would send you their finest stock.
"This is a nice place," she says, to get the conversation started.
"I looked ahead. Wanted to find the right kind of place to bring someone like you."
"Someone like me, hm? And what's that?"
"A woman. Not a young girl or a flighty teenager who will want to go to the cinema and have a hotdog, but a woman I would like to get to know a lot more intimately."
Kali leans in. "I think we were plenty intimate last time. Don't you?"
"I'd like to get to know you outside the sheets as well as under them."
"As well?" Kali smiles. "Not instead of?"
"I'm an honest man, Kali." When it serves you. "And I'll not lie to you and say I'm not interested in your body. Given my reaction to you in that dress, I doubt that'll come as much of a surprise."
Kali giggles and sips her wine. "You'd be surprised, actually. When you're as old as I am, you start to feel like you can't draw men's eyes anymore. It was quite the shock to get a reaction out of you. Both times." She takes another sip to mask her nerves. "It was rather flattering to be honest. Physical proof that you really did want me."
Any straight man would want her, but you know what she means. It's not about whether she's pretty or not, but about how she sees herself. Sometimes a person is their own worst enemy.
"Tell me a little about yourself," you say.
"Mmm? And what would you like to know?"
"I know you work most days but not what as. What do you do?"
"I'm a HR Manager for the SDC HQ Office here in Vale," says Kali, and your eyebrows rise up your head. She notices and laughs. "Surprised? Do I not look the type to have such a good job?"
"Ah. It's more because of Blake," you deflect, not wanting to admit that yes, you totally thought just that. "It's a surprise that your daughter is practically their worst enemy and you work for them. Does that make things awkward?"
"A little," she admits, "but Blake's problems are with the people at the top. Not me." She smiles and adds, "Tukson mentioned that you were asking for ways to get on her good side. Should I be worried?"
Damn it, Tukson. The Bro Code has let you down.
"I was mostly asking as a way to smooth things out. I figured that if Blake and I remained at odds, you might decide to cut things off with me to spare any arguments." You reach over the table to touch your fingers to her hand. "I don't want that to happen."
Kali smiles and sips, but she's blushing a little. "Tukson mentioned as much. He seemed quite supportive of you and said I should give this a serious chance."
Damn it, Tukson. He had you worried for a moment.
The Bro Code is back on.
"He's a good guy," you say. "Gave me the third degree over treating you with care."
Kali cups her cheek and says, "Oh, how embarrassing. Really, I'm 38, and he's acting like my father or something. I hope it wasn't too bad."
"No. He and I get along. So, the SDC." You're curious to know more. "You're in charge of HR. Does that mean hiring for the settlements outside the city?"
"Those that are in Vale, yes, but I also take care of human resource matters for the HQ office as well as a few other offices around the country. There are a lot of people working for the SDC, and there's always something or other. Recruitment for new roles, disciplinary reviews, inter-workplace issues."
Tukson mentioned to Blake before that something was bothering Kali about work. You notice that she doesn't bring it up and wonder if you should. Any problems at work are something you might be able to use to your own benefit, though, it might not be a great idea to get Kali fired when you could quite easily keep her in a job and progress your relationship with her. Having someone well-paid and connected beside you isn't a bad idea, and you can probably get Kali into your videos without such methods.
And, besides, Kali is the HR for the company. She'll know more than anyone how to stay in a job. The real question is whether asking it might dampen the mood of this date a little. If she isn't bringing it up then she might not want to talk about it.
>DEFLECT: There's no need to ruin the mood on the first date.
>ASK ANYWAY: Any weakness is a chink in the armour you can employ.
"It sounds impressive," you say, taking a drink of your own. It's tempting to ask for more details, but you don't want to lean on her too much. "You must have had to work your way up from the bottom to get there."
"It did take a while, yes, and quite a few colleagues felt I didn't deserve the role. But I proved them wrong, and Miss Schnee herself commended me for my perseverance."
"Schnee? Does one of their family work here in Vale? I never realised."
"Yes, Winter Schnee. Quite the stern woman, very cold at times, but also brilliant at her work." Kali didn't seem to mind praising her. "Very fair, which I've heard not everyone within the family is. We're lucky to have her."
Interesting. You hadn't realised Winter Schnee was working out of Vale. It must have been a development that happened a few years back when you were too young to be paying attention. The Goldmane and Schnee families didn't really have much in the way of deals, though you did bump into them a few times at social events. Winter might recognise you, but it wouldn't be with any familiarity enough to have her offer a helping hand.
"What about you?" asks Kali. "What does my mysterious new boyfriend do for a living?"
You expected this to come up at one point or another, but that doesn't mean you were looking forward to it. Kali is bound to find out sooner or later, so deflecting and delaying is only likely to have her asking why it took you so long to come clean. Besides, Tukson will surely tell her if he finds out you haven't.
"I work in porn."
Kali has the glass to her lips when you speak and sprays a little wine around the inside of her glass. She coughs and picks up a napkin to dab over her lips. "E—Excuse me?"
"You heard me. I thought I should be upfront and honest with you. A lot of people don't like hearing it, but if I want to make this relationship work then I'm not going to lie to you, Kali." Not about this anyway. You'll gladly lie about other things. "I run a porn studio, and I've also featured in a few movies online."
"Oh, my goodness." Kali sets her glass down. "I slept with a pornstar."
"You know, a lot of people would see that as a point of pride."
Kali blinks, then laughs, the sound force out of her. "They would, wouldn't they? Men especially. Goodness, I never— You never said— But then I suppose I never said where I worked either, did I?"
"Neither of us were in much of a state to talk work."
"That's true." Kali picks up her glass again and sips, fortifying herself. "It's quite the surprise to hear, I won't lie. Though I'm glad to hear you're being honest about it. Did you mean what you said about wanting to be serious with this?"
"With you? Yes. I'm here, aren't I? I'm taking you out on a date. And I'm hoping we can do this again. And more." You touch your foot to hers under the table. Kali doesn't pull away. "I work in porn because I don't have much of a choice otherwise. It's about the money, not some cheap thrill or sense of pride."
In that, at least, you're being honest. You won't say it doesn't feel good, but it's always been about the money. That's been your goal since the start.
"You said your own studio. So, you run your own business?"
"That's right. And it's not as sex-crazy and exciting as it sounds."
Kali relaxes a little at that. "Oh?"
"I spent this morning reaching out to a potential new actress and have to find a way to bring her on board, which is going to involve convincing her we're a suitable company to work for and finding her a wage she'll like. The other day, I was hosting an interview with a woman whose CV read like an example of what not to write in a CV."
Kali titters into her hand. "Oh, I've read far too many of those!"
She's getting involved. Good. "And just this lunch I was busy coding and making a new set of intros and outros for our videos, spending hours of my time on that, only to have people complain that they don't like them." You toss your hands in the air dramatically, and she merrily laughs. "Trust me, anyone who thinks running a porn studio is sex, sex, sex is in for a nasty surprise if they ever start one. I spend far more time negotiating contracts and trying to figure out what the most profitable kinks are for any given week than I do under the sheets with someone. And I've not even starred in a video for the last three days."
"Oh?"
"I found a man much better than me to star in one — and that was our most profitable video yet. Over 1,000 lien in a single night."
"At least it's going well then! That's good."
Bizarrely enough, framing the studio as a bureaucratic mess seems to have calmed her down a lot. Maybe it's because she thought it was just you fooling around with other women. Finding out that it's a legitimate business, with profit and loss, and hard work, and interviews and contracts, makes it sound more familiar to her.
"It's a business at the end of the day," you say. "Some might call it immoral, but then they might say the same about the people you send to work in the mines. And let's not talk about the Adel Company and their use of sweatshops to make clothes. All business is a mess, but at least we're honest about what we are."
"I suppose you are."
"Does it bother you?" you ask. "Is this going to be a problem between us?"
Kali takes a deep breath and lets it go. "I'm prepared to try and let it not be. You're running a business, and I know full well how hard that is. And you're right about the SDC. We're no more moralistic for being based out of an office. So, yes, it bothers me a little, but maybe I'm just being old-fashioned. I'll try and keep an open mind."
"I appreciate that, Kali. I really do."
Your meal arrives before you can continue, breaking up the moment and giving you both time to catch your breath and come to terms with what's been said. It could have gone a lot worse than it did, and at least Kali is willing to try and move past it. Also, she's honest, which you can appreciate against younger girls who so regularly bottle things up and refuse to speak about them.
Dating an older woman is easier in some ways.
The after-dinner chatter is much lighter, to the relief of both of you, and you talk about your younger years, with Kali telling you about life in Menagerie before she and the family moved to Vale, and you talking about Atlas. It turns out that, when the Grimm were defeated and the world opened up, Menagerie struggled to find its place. Every other kingdom had vast masses of land to expand into and gobble up, while Menagerie was still just an island, with much of it being desert.
It's a resort now, reduced from a fledgling kingdom to a holiday destination for the rich and famous, with the people there having either found jobs in the industry or moved to other cities where there was more work. The Belladonna family had been among the latter. She made it work, though, and doesn't seem too beat up about it.
You order dessert and make a show of feeding one another, and then finish off the bottle of wine. When the bill comes, Kali offers to split the bill with you.
"There's no need for that," you say, holding a hand out to her. "I'm the one who asked you out, Kali. Please, let me treat you this once."
It's hard to be in a situation where that's even in question, and it feels odd. You were so used to having so much money before that the idea of not paying would have been out of the question. Kali doesn't fight it. You know a lot of women would and do nowadays, but she seems happy to be spoiled and taken care of.
That must be a reminder of when her husband was still alive. Is Kali one of those partners who likes it when the other person takes control? She did let you choose the date, the location, and now pay. You might be dealing with someone who appreciates a man who takes the lead in things.
It's something to keep in mind.
You and Kali walk to her home together, still talking, and all-around feeling like the date worked out. You got over the main hurdle and managed to avoid embarrassing yourself, and Kali doesn't seem like she's forcing herself to keep going. When you reach her door, you're both much more sober than you were the last time. The wine has you buzzing, but not blitzed.
"Well, this is it," she says. "I had a lovely night."
"Would you like there to be more of them?" you ask quickly.
Kali smiles coyly your way. "I think I just might."
"I think I'd like that too," you say, then nod to the door. "Should we talk inside?"
"I don't think we'd get much talking done if I let you in, Joker."
"Would that be such a bad thing?"
Kali bites her lip and looks aside. "Not a bad thing," she says, "but Blake was rather put out the last time I brought you home. Said that I was making myself too easy. I don't know if she's right or not, but I do know I wasn't the type to sleep with a man on the first date when I was younger." She laughs. "Even if we've already slept together before the first date. Perhaps we should have another date before we try that again."
Blake is well and truly on your shit list for that.
Kali wants you, she makes no secret of that, and you want her back. The way she looks at you, with one hand on the door, makes it clear she'll welcome you inside without the slightest resistance if you make a move.
To hell with what Blake wants.
You step in and claim Kali's lips, and her arms find their way around your neck without hesitation. You knew the wall she put up was flimsy, built by someone who wanted it to fall, and you pushed into her apartment.
"We shouldn't," she whispers, but it's a weak defence while her lips feast on your neck.
"We're adults, Kali. Not children. We're both old and experienced enough to make our own decisions." You throw off your jacket and steer her toward the bedroom. "That dating advice about first dates is for children who need the rules so they don't make mistakes they'll end up regretting. We're a little more mature than that."
"But Blake—"
"Blake has to accept that it's your life to live, Kali." You slide your hands into her dress and push it down her shoulders. Her wonderfully large tits spring free, and you realise she was never even wearing a bra. Kali wanted this to happen. "Blake is young and has all the time in the world to be patient. You should grasp onto what makes you happy and never let go."
Kali's eyes light up, and she grasps onto something all right. You hiss your pleasure as she fondles you through your pants.
"Fine," she purrs. "You're going to make a debauched woman of me, but I have to admit this thing makes me very happy – though not when it's hidden behind all these layers."
You manage to lose some of those layers on the way to the bedroom, while Kali loses everything but her thigh-high stockings and her gloves. You ravish her mouth as she clings onto you, and then you slide your hands under her armpits and throw her back onto the bed. Kali lands with a gasp, then pushes down with her feet to crawl up to the cushions, crooking her finger for you to follow.
Soon, you're writhing on the sheets together, divesting one another of the last few articles of clothing while competing to see who can touch, caress, and kiss more of the other. Kali's thighs rub up against your sides, and her nails rake down your back. You kiss her fiercely, then push her down and sit up with your knees between her legs. Your cock stands up hard at attention, and you take it in hand and touch the tip to Kali's burning hot pussy.
Her lips are hungry and almost seem to suck you in. There's tightness, but not as much as Emerald or Velvet. Instead, there's a softness like you're being welcomed back to a comfortable home. Kali hisses in pleasure as you slide yourself in, giving to her inch by torturous inch.
"Oh darling," she purrs. "You're so hard. God, I can feel every inch of you."
"What was that you said earlier about not feeling desirable anymore?" you ask, gently bumping your hips forward. Kali grasps at the pillow her head is resting on and stares longingly at you. "What do you say now, huh? Now that you can feel how hard I am inside you. Do you still feel like an ugly, old maid?"
"Oh God. You're so naughty. Mmm." Kali brings a hand down to rub beneath her stomach, over her sex, which you're buried deep inside of. "I feel sexy," she purrs. "I feel like I'm stuffed full of young, hard cock." Her eyes light up, and her knees rub against you. "And that cock wants me. Ahhh~"
You begin moving, but keep your pace slow, teasing her with what you know she's been longing for all night long.
"I'm the naughty one? You're the one who chose to wear that dress knowing full well I'd be longing to rip it off you all night." You lean over her, adding more weight to your thrusts. Your hands meet hers and pin them to the bed. "Admit it. You did that on purpose."
"Mmmm. Maaaybe. It worked, didn't it?"
You lean in and nip her bottom lip. Kali licks yours in return and you stare at one another, eyes less than an inch apart.
"I'm going to fuck you," you say, "And I'm not going to stop until I've dumped a thick load of cum inside you. Then, I'm going to sleep here with you, and when I wake up I'm going to find you again and fuck you a second time."
Kali tilts her head down so she's looking up at you through her eyelashes.
"All I'm hearing is a lot of talk and no action, Joker." Her lips curl upward. "But I suppose a young boy like you might just be all talk."
Oh, this woman. You're going to prove her wrong.
You're no Jaune Arc, but you're no Roman Torchwick either, and Kali has only been with you and Tukson since her husband's passing. It's been a long time, and you know she enjoyed your last soiree. You press down onto her, and into her, stretching her wide down below as you penetrate her mouth up above.
Her hands link behind your neck and her ankles above your hips, and soon you're both fucking one another. Kali bucks herself down to meet your thrusts, slapping your bodies together as you plunge in and out of her.
You hook your hands under her hips and lift them up off the bed, driving her down into the sheets with powerful thrusts. You show her all the vigour and strength your body has, and make sure she will be feeling the impact you have on her for the next day at least.
"Ahh! Mmmn! Yes. Harder! Oh God, I love it." Kali grasps the pillow under her head in both hands and pulls up the edges around her face, crying out in bliss. She pulls a corner to her mouth and bites into it to muffle herself. It's only particularly successful. "Mph! Nph! Nrghhhhhphhh~"
You feel her clamp down on you once, but you refuse to stop. You're flushed red and covered with sweat, but you lean down over her, almost rolling her body back as you bring her hips into the air and piston downward.
"Don't think it's over yet!" you say between grunts and thrusts. "Call me inexperienced? I'll show you – hah – how a real man – ah – fucks!"
"Mmmnnnnn!" wails Kali, her eyes rolling up as she grinds the pillow between her teeth. "Mm! Mnf! Dnff! Nghhh!"
"I think I'd rather hear what you really think," you tease, peeling the fabric out her mouth.
Kali obliges.
"Fuck! Yes! Fuck, fuck, fuck. Ah! So hard. So big. So good! Fuck me, darling. Ahhh! Mnnn! Yes! I needed this so bad. Oh god, oh god, oh god." She flings her head back, squeezing you again with her arms, legs, and also her pussy. Her walls tug on you, sucking you in. "Ahhhh~"
It's too much for you as well this time, and you bite down on her neck as you cum. Your cock jumps inside her, before shooting out thick, ropey strands of cum that paint her white. It's a hefty deluge built up of all the night she spent teasing you in that slutty fucking dress of hers. You grind harder into her, hissing into her neck as she moans in bliss.
You thrust again, just to get deeper, just to make sure you fill her even more.
"Ahhh, my darling," she purrs, fingers in your hair. "You're so warm inside me. I can feel it filling me up."
You slide out of her and back on your knees, looking down the bed at her as she props herself up and pushes her feet down into the sheets. Her lower lips are still spread open, and thick rivers of semen dribble out of her. Kali only has eyes for you, however, smiling tiredly as a pleased flush dyes her cheeks a pretty shade of pink.
"Look at what you did to me, darling," she says.
"I… I warned you that I would," you say, panting. "And don't you forget I'm going to do it again tomorrow morning."
"Mmm. I can't wait." Kali draws you up to lay beside her, swings a leg over yours, and presses her lips against your own. You're both exhausted, not to mention covered in bodily fluids and sweat. The bedroom is going to stink after tomorrow.
But you're satisfied. Both of you.
"Stay for breakfast tomorrow," she says. "Properly this time. Blake scared you off the last time, so I owe you a cooked meal."
"Hmmm." You hook an arm around her. "Won't she be back again to scare me off?"
"I won't let her. We're dating now, and Blake will just have to get used to that." Kali kisses your neck and shoulder, brushing her head against you until she finds a comfortable position. "You leave Blake to me, darling. I'll make sure she understands you're going to be a regular presence in her life, whether she likes it or not."
"Mmm." Your eyes drift shut. "That's good."
"I want to feel like this every night," Kali says, nuzzling into you.
