The girlfriend experience

A simple blue card that read ‘Happy Birthday’ was the last bit of communication Sophie had from her aunt. Her birthday was six months ago. It’s not that they didn’t like each other; they just rarely spoke. Since her mother’s death, Sophie had lost contact with that side of the family. Her aunt had been the last one left, her grandparents she could barely remember. Still, she felt a pang of sorrow when the message came that she had passed away. The cause of death was not mentioned in the letter, but at such a young age – her aunt was only in her forties – it must’ve been some kind of accident or illness.
Sophie’s father had called shortly after the message arrived. He had offered to go to the funeral together. Sophie’s relationship with her father wasn’t as strong as it used to be, she had moved out years ago and recently he had started dating someone new. Sophie did not like this new woman in his life, the one who was taking her mother’s place. Still, in times like this family was important so she had agreed to carpool with them.
On the road to the funeral, Sophie sat in the back of the car wearing a simple black dress. Her father – and his new girlfriend – were seated at the front, wearing black again. The mood in the car was silent, outside it was raining. Sophie was rereading the letter announcing her aunt’s death. A note was attacked at the end. It was a request from her aunt’s lawyer to meet with him. Apparently, her aunt had mentioned Sophie specifically in her testament.
After the funeral, Sophie said goodbye to her father, promising she’d be perfectly safe taking the train back home. She met up with her aunt’s lawyer who had attended the funeral as well. He was a well-dressed man in his forties: grey hair and a dark business-like suit. He drove a dark, modern car and took her along to his office.

“Welcome, Miss Jackson.” He said after they had entered his office.
“Please, call me Sophie.” Sophie replied, sitting down in a chair opposite the large wooden desk.
“Nice to meet you, Sophie.” The man continued. “You can call me Jeffrey.”
Sophie nodded.
“You’re probably wondering why I invited you here today.” He said. “Are you aware that you are your aunt’s only niece and closest living relative?”
Sophie shook her head. “No. I mean, I guess so. I just never gave it much thought.”
“Well you should think about it now.” The lawyer continued. “In her testament, your aunt chose to leave all her belongings to you.”
Sophie stared at the man, dumbstruck. She had not expected anything like this. “Is it, is it much?” She asked. She blushed, fearing she sounded greedy.
“In total it is near one million dollars’ worth. Half of that is in money at the bank, the rest is in assets.” The man replied without blinking. “There is a slight problem however.”
Sophie gasped. A million dollars! “What’s the problem?” She asked.
“The money is not in your aunt’s name. Not directly anyway.” The lawyer explained. “They are company assets. You see, your aunt ran a small company by herself. She is the only shareholder and there are no employees. In other words, she was self-employed; the company was a profitable tax-construct.” He paused for a moment to make sure Sophie understood. “It was all perfectly legal of course.” He continued. “But now that your aunt has passed away, the company will be disbanded. This means the government will appropriate a big chunk of your inheritance as taxes. You’ll probably be left with only half of the current value.”
Sophie grimaced. She’d lose a lot, but half a million was still a lot of money, more than she had now. “So, there’s nothing we can do about that?” She asked.
“Well that’s what I wanted to talk to you about today.” The lawyer answered. “You could choose to accept the company shares as your inheritance instead of the raw value. This means the money and assets stay property of the company, but you own the company.”
Sophie frowned. “So what’s the catch?”
The lawyer smiled. “Well, you would literally be running the company. Which means finishing any contracts that are currently signed. After that you can do what you want: continue or shut down the company.”
Sophie hesitated. “Oh ehm, well I don’t really know what kind of work my aunt was in. What do these contracts entail and how many are there?”
The lawyer picked through a couple of papers. “There are currently three open contracts.” He said. “What your aunt did, well I guess you’d call her an escort. She went out with men, playing the role of their date for an evening. I believe her contracts often held stipulations on sexual activity as well. Your aunt called it ‘fantasy fulfilment’.”
Sophie blushed deeply. She had never imagined anyone she knew did that sort of thing, certainly not her aunt. “I ehm, don’t think that’s anything for me.” She said.
The lawyer smiled. “I’m sorry, I guess I should’ve explained that at the start.” He thought for a moment. “You could of course meet with her clients and propose they annul the contract. Your lack of experience compared to your aunt who drafted the original contract would be a legal reason for them to back-out. You’d just need to pay back their deposits.”
Sophie was still blushing. “Do you think they would do that?” She asked.
“Well it’s up to you to convince them.” The man said. “But the final decision is theirs. It’s a bit of a gamble, but it could earn you about half a million dollars.”
Sophie bit her lip. “And if I lose, I’ll have to do those things with these men.” She said.
“Things your aunt did as well.” The lawyer said. “How bad could it be? And you still get the money in the end.”
Sophie blushed again. How bad could it be? What kind of things did her aunt get into that she didn’t know about? “Can I think about it?” She asked the lawyer. People had done way worse things for less money. She thought. Her aunt surely hadn’t made all that money with just three clients.
“I need to file the paperwork by the end of the week. I’ll need your decision by then.” The man replied.
Sophie nodded, her mind absent, thinking of the possibilities. All she needed was a way to convince her aunt’s clients that she was not fit to honour their contracts.

Three days after her meeting with the lawyer and two after signing the agreement that she would take over her aunt’s company, Sophie was on her way to her first client. She had no idea what his contract entailed, but today was just their first meeting. She arrived at the office building nervously. The man had invited her to his work during lunch hours. After asking around for a bit she found his office.
“Come in, come in.” The man said. He seemed like a jovial kind of man, always smiling. He stood up and shook her hand before Sophie sat down in a chair opposite his desk. “I’m Eric.” The man said. “I never knew Sam had people working for her. She never sent anyone to meet me before.”
Sophie blushed slightly. She hadn’t told him yet, she felt it was better to bring the news in person. “I’m afraid I have some bad news, sir.” She said. “Samantha was my aunt, she passed away last week.”
The man looked dumbstruck. He just sat there and stared at her. Sophie took the time to examine him. He must be nearly twenty years older than her; not very handsome but not ugly either. She wondered how things would go if he did not agree to annul the contract. It wouldn’t be the worst thing in the world, she thought. But just the thought of having sex for money made her feel uncomfortable. “I’m sorry.” The man said eventually. “I didn’t know.”
Sophie smiled. “It’s okay. we weren’t very close anyway.” The man nodded. “The thing is, when my aunt passed away I inherited her belongings. I also took over her company, which still has an open contract with you. Which is what I wanted to discuss with you today.”
The man actually blushed, he suddenly seemed nervous. “Oh.” He said. “You’re taking over? Does that mean…”
Sophie now blushed as well. “Well I can’t claim to have the same sort of experience as my aunt.” She quickly said. “So I would completely understand if you wished to back out of the agreement now.”
The man shook his head. “No, no of course not. I didn’t mean to imply that you couldn’t, that you weren’t…”
Sophie cursed inside. The man was afraid to insult her, while she actually wanted him to think those things. She should’ve been more forceful in claiming that she could not fulfil the contract properly. “Really.” She said. “It’s okay. I didn’t really expect you’d want to pay me for something I have literally no experience with.”
The man smiled. “I wouldn’t say no experience.” He said. “You have had a boyfriend before, haven’t you?”
Sophie blushed. “Yes, but…”
“You’ve read the contract, haven’t you?” He asked.
“No, I mean; my aunt keeps them in a safe, I haven’t been able to find the key.”
The man laughed. “Here, read this first.” He said while rummaging in his case. “I always keep it with me, too afraid someone might find it if I leave it behind.” He explained while handing her his copy of the contract.
Sophie read it quickly. It was pretty straight-forward. He wanted to go on a date with her. There were some detailed descriptions of sexual activity involved, but the essence was that she would pretend to be his long-term girlfriend. Sophie blushed, she now realized that his happy, jovial attitude was just a front. Inside, the man felt lonely and just wanted to experience being with a woman. He wouldn’t care if that was her or her aunt. Sophie realized that she wouldn’t be able to convince him to annul the contract; but she also felt slightly sorry for him. Was that why her aunt did it? Did she see her work as helping people? ‘Fulfilling fantasies’ sounded a lot better than having sex for money. She looked up at the man. “I guess you’re right.” She said. “This doesn’t seem too difficult.”
The man smiled. “I’m sure you can handle it.” He said. “You’re a very attractive young woman, if I may say so. Any lack in experience compared to your aunt will surely be made up for by your beauty.” Sophie blushed. “So when can the date be arranged?” He asked.
Sophie hesitated, but it was too late to back out now. “How about this weekend?” She said. “On Saturday?”
“Perfect.” The man said. “Last time I picked up your aunt at her house. Would that work for you?”
Sophie nodded. “I’ll be there.”

The day of the date had arrived much more quickly than Sophie would’ve wished. In the time between agreeing to fulfil the contract and actually doing it, she had started to wonder what could have possessed her to go along with this. The reason was simple of course: she didn’t have a choice. Sometimes she thought she could’ve begged the man to annul the contract. But that seemed wrong. How insulting would it have been for him to have a woman begging not to go out with him? She couldn’t hurt his feelings that way. At some, rare moments – when she was completely honest with herself – she could admit that she was slightly excited for their date. The idea of having sex for money was not only wrong and perverted, it was also slightly arousing. It was something forbidden, and that gave it a strange sort of attraction.
Not able to access her aunt’s safe, she had asked a copy of the contract from her client and studied it meticulously. She knew perfectly what was and was not expected of her this day. She was dressed impressively as requested. Her ‘boyfriend’ preferred a dress, so that’s what she wore. It was white with a tanned skirt and cinched tightly around her waist; the skirt was short, leaving most of her legs bare. She wore lingerie underneath, something sexy to surprise her ‘boyfriend’ with when he took her home with him. She waited nervously for him near the door.
She opened it quickly when he knocked and then hesitated slightly when she saw him. ‘Time to play the role.’ She told herself. She stepped closer. “Eric, I’ve missed you so much.” She said, raising her arms so he could hug her.
Eric smiled, delighted that she went straight into character. He took her in his arms and placed his lips on hers.
Sophie blanked her mind; banning all other thoughts than: ‘This is my boyfriend.’ She answered the kiss greedily, like a girl who hasn’t seen her sweetheart in days. Their tongues twisted together and their bodies pressed together closely.
“I’ve missed you too.” Eric said. “Are you ready?”
Sophie nodded. she grabbed her coat and followed Eric to the car. He held the door open for her.
It was a simple date, Eric wanted to buy dinner for his ‘girlfriend’ at a fancy restaurant. Reading the menu, Sophie could not decide between a few dishes. “Honey.” She said. “I can’t decide between the salad with goat’s cheese or smoked salmon. Could you please pick for me?”
Eric smiled broadly, delighted that he could pick the dish for his ‘girlfriend’. He ordered for her as well when the waiter arrived. The rest of the dinner went smoothly. They talked about nothing important and the food was delicious. Even when their plate had been empty for a while, the conversation did not stop. “Do you want some dessert?” Eric asked her.
“I’d love to, thank you.” Sophie replied.
“So are you having a good time?” Eric asked as he raised his hand for the waiter.
“It’s been great.” Sophie said.
“I thought perhaps, you wanted to thank me.” Eric said.
Sophie blushed. She’d actually been enjoying herself so much that she’d forgot this part of the contract. She hadn’t expected roleplaying would be this fun. “Of course.” She said. She blushed deeply and looked around the restaurant. The other customers were busy eating. Eric had picked this specific restaurant with a reason. It had heavy wooden tables with broadside panels; when Sophie slid from her chair beneath theirs, no-one would be able to see her. She imagined her face must be scarlet by now. So far she hadn’t done anything reprehensible, but that was about to change. If she truly had been Eric’s girlfriend, this would’ve just been a naughty blowjob in a public setting to thank him for their date. But because they were just roleplaying, this blowjob was actually because Eric was paying her for it. Sophie didn’t blush so deeply because it was wrong to do this for money. She blushed because this turned her on even more than the – comparably – innocent blowjob between two lovers. On her knees, she crawled beneath the table to Eric’s seat. He sat closely against the table, hiding her from sight. As Sophie undid his trousers she could hear the waiter arrive at their table. She pulled out Eric’s throbbing erection while she heard him order dessert for them both. The waiter didn’t seem to realize what was going on. Even if he did, he wouldn’t know the full story behind it: that Sophie was being paid to take Eric’s cock in her mouth. She did so without further hesitation. Once she’d started, she no longer needed to think about right or wrong; but just enjoy the sensation of having him in her mouth and the excitement of the dangerously public situation. It did not take long before Eric came. Sophie made sure to catch everything in her mouth, it would be disastrous to spill anything on herself. She swallowed his semen, knowing it was safe. The contract demanded any client to be tested for any various diseases.
“Is it safe to come up?” She asked after clumsily putting Eric’s now flaccid dick back in his trousers. When Eric replied that it was, she quickly got from under the table and sat back in her chair. Eric was smiling broadly and the waiter arrived with their dessert shortly after.

After dessert, Eric took Sophie home with him. The blowjob in the restaurant was just the first step; but now Sophie was as much excited as nervous about what was to follow.
“Do you want a drink?” Eric asked when he showed her around his house.
“No.” Sophie replied. “I want you!” Playing the horny girlfriend didn’t only fit in their play, it also shortened the duration of nervous anticipation. She wanted to get this over with, and if she was truly honest, she really was horny and did not care he was paying her to fuck.
Eric took her to his bedroom where she undressed for him. “Fuck.” He said, seeing her in her lingerie. “You look gorgeous.”
Sophie smiled and moved beside him. Letting his hands explore her body while she undid his short and trousers. “I want it all off.” She said, undressing Eric until he was fully naked. He wasn’t a very attractive man, but his erection stood proud and ready, she wanted it now. “Aren’t you going to undress me as well?” She asked.
Eric smiled broadly, thrilled to unpack her even further. He did it slowly, savouring each moment. After her bra, which he unhooked clumsily he played with and kissed her breasts. Sophie turned around when he slowly pulled down her panties inch by inch; his erection pushed against her now bare bottom. When Eric sat down on the bed, Sophie turned again. She straddled his lap as he lay down on his back. It took but a moment to guide him inside of her. This position was described in the contract as well. Eric wanted to look at her as they fucked, her hips in his hands and her breasts bouncing as she rode him. Sophie didn’t mind, she grinded deeply so she could feel him inside of her. When she came, shortly even before Eric himself, it wasn’t faked. The arousal of the naughty date, the forbidden feeling of being paid for her actions and this strange man’s cock inside of her drove her past the edge. She was shaking and moaning when Eric reached his own climax and squirted his juices inside of her. Exhausted, Sophie laid down on top of her ‘date’.
“I love you, babe.” Eric whispered.
Sophie froze for a moment, and then realized he was just roleplaying still. “I love you too.” She said.
The contract said that as Eric’s girlfriend, she’d stay the night, so Sophie let him push her to his side to fall asleep in his arms.

“Last night.” Eric said as they sat at his breakfast table together. The contract was fulfilled at this point and Sophie had been blushing all morning remembering her actions of the night before. “Did you fake it?”
Sophie bit her lip. She hadn’t, that’s what made her so embarrassed. She had never thought she’d be so excited from doing what they’d done. “No.” She admitted.
Eric smiled, Sophie was not sure whether he believed her or not. “Are you going to keep doing your aunt’s work?” He asked.
Sophie looked away from his questioning eyes. “There are two more contracts I need to fulfil at least.” She said.
“And after that?” Eric asked.
“No.” Sophie replied. “I just need to finish the contracts my aunt already started.”
“I think you should.” Eric said. “You’re really very good. I’d pay you even more than I paid your aunt.”
Sophie blushed deeply. “No thanks.” She said.
Eric smiled. “Well, let me know if you change your mind.”
