"I spend half my life removing hair and maintaining my body." "Being an escort involves pain... but it's almost always self-inflicted." "But sometimes, pain can be pleasure." "How much do i owe you then?" "Shall we say 300?" "Oh...300." "In that case, we could just call it even." "Ah, no, by the book." "I'll need to declare it." "You'll need a receipt." " Thank you." " Thank you." "Please put 40% away from now on..." " I know." " ..so you don't get a nasty shock in April." "Everything all right?" " Everything's fine." " Sure?" "Sometimes there are things..." "that you do when we..." "You can tell me whatever you want." "There are things i think about." "Well, you must share." "You've always been so nice to me." "if it wasn't for you, i'd still be sobbing over a shoebox full of receipts." "No." "You see... i don't want you to be nice to me." "i bet you're the gimp in the relationship." "Nah, sweetheart, i'm the boss in the bedroom." "Course you are." "Smack her about a bit, do ya?" "Well, you've gotta, ain't ya?" " As long as it's with an open palm, it's allowed." " ..open palm..." "No, it's just i was sleeping with this bloke who's quite into S and M." "Who?" "What bloke?" "Some bloke." "Like who?" "Do i know him?" "I doubt it." "Is it serious?" "All that pain and paraphernalia, i don't really get it." "I wish i could just be honest." "i can tell him about the men i've shagged." "i just can't tell him i get paid for it." "You're not even out of breath." "i'm trying to lose some weight for next year." "Why, what happens next year?" "Well, i'm getting married." "I asked Vanessa to marry me." "Oh, my God!" "That's brilliant." "Well done!" "When did this happen?" "In Amsterdam. i took her to this place..." " In Amsterdam?" " Yeah." " That was months ago!" " it's one month ago." " You proposed a month ago?" " Yeah." "Why didn't you tell me?" "I am." "Right." "Married?" " Don't be pissed off." " I'm not." "Why would i be pissed off?" "Well done." "It's...it's great." "Han..." "I could have helped you choose the ring." "We chose it together." "OK." "I was a dom for a while." "I tell you, there's no fucking money in it." "I'm not changing career." "I just want to give it a go." "Good." "I understand." "You do this job long enough, you want to kick the shit out of a man eventually." "No, it's not that." "i like him, and he does my taxes." "Sirona...runs a dungeon in Angel." "Tell the bitch i say hi." "Hi, i wonder if you could spare a few minutes to talk to us about Jesus?" "You must be Sirona." "Hello, darling." "Come in." "Hello." "Ah, i don't think so!" "Position three!" "You don't mind, dolyou?" "He's not allowed clothes indoors." "Oh, no, i'm used to it." "Can i get you anything to drink?" " Ooh, herbal tea?" " Absolutely." "Oh, he won't speak without permission." "Do you want anything to drink...pet?" "Yes, Mistress." "You can drink out of the nice lady's toilet then, can't you?" "Actually, i'd rather he didn't." " So, why not send your client my way?" " I'm curious." "Curiosity is the first step to enlightenment." "I thought it killed the cat." "Belie, i like you." "I like anyone with an open mind and clean shoes." "Just to be clear, though, i take this job seriously." "Of course." " Some people meditate, some people pray." " Sure." "And fetish is not something for working girls to retire to once their tits have started to sag." "My tits are fine." "Then..." "let's begin." "To speak in very basic terms, it breaks down into cross dress, role play, Japanese rope bondage, dog training, maid training, dildo training, slaves, feet and medical." "But you're just a beginner, so..." "is he married?" "Yeah." "Obviously she doesn't know." "Shame." "All these secrets." "So... how do i avoid leaving marks?" "Ah." "The key...is building up." "Light spanking, light flogging, soft leather." "Increasing the circulation." "Get it red, the fluid in the tissue acts as a cushion." "Far less likely to split or bruise." "Then you can go to town." "Position four!" "Avoid." "Avoid." "Here and here." "Now get off the carpet." " You disgust me." " Yes, Mistress." "Before we go any further, can i use your bathroom?" "Yeah, sure." "It's just up there to the right." "Slave!" "Wipe!" "That's not a bad lark's head." "Were you in the guides?" "Brownies." "What about the sex?" "There is no sex." "None at all?" "Well, how do you know when you've finished?" "My watch beeps." "I'm a goddess to my slaves." "That's what they want. i wouldn't stoop to sex with them." "Plus, i'm a married woman." "He knows?" "Of course he knows!" "Our sitting room's a dungeon!" "Wow, that's great!" "Is he in the business?" "Oh, Frank's a professor, but he's often there in sessions, pottering about, making tea." "That must be lovely." "Sharing it with someone." "It's marriage." "Not clean enough!" "You try it." "There you go!" "It's bizarre!" "You've got to see, for a lot of people, Belie, it's a huge relief." "Not being in charge?" "Mm." "It's not him doing these dirty things." "His mistress is forcing him." "He's got no choice." "Yeah." "Must be kinda peaceful under the table." "I think i'm starting to get it." "Then you're ready." "Hi, this is Hannah." "I'm not around." "Leave a message." "Bye." "So glad i didn't get hit by a bus." "Hi, this is Hannah." "I'm not around." "Leave a message." "Bye." "Han, it's Ben." "Stop ignoring me, would you, and give us a ring?" "I've been trying you loads." "Close the door." "Clothes off." "Wear this." "Kneel here." " Yes." " Yes, what?" "Yes, Mistress." "Everything's worked out in advance." "A script, a scenario, even the insults i'm going to use have been agreed with him over e-mail." "Hands behind your back." "I'm not gonna bend down for you." "On the chair." "Now you're going to do whatever i tell you." "When we caught you trying to escape, i could have had you shot." "This way i thought would be more fun..." "for me." "please let me go, Mistress." "Speak up." "Please let me go, Mistress." "You're my prisoner here and you're not going anywhere." "Yes!" "Stop moving." "Sorry, Mistress." "I shall have to punish you." "No, Mistress." "I don't think i can take any more." "Really?" "Yes, Mistress." "Please stop." "OK." "Get up if you want." "No, i'm a bad slave." "Yes, you are, but if you want, you can just get up." "Red, amber or green?" " Green." " Oh, right, sorry." "This is what you deserve." "How do you know if you're doing it right?" "In my job, if you make a man come, that's success." "With this, i can't even tell if he's enjoying it." "What shall i do next, Mistress?" "Just a minute." "You disgust me!" "Sirona, it's Belie." "Yeah, look..." "I've run out of ideas and i've still got ages to go!" "Yeah, i... i suppose so." "Ok." "And then do the kitchen." "Thank you for calling." "You have seven new messages." "And one new caller who left no message." "Hey, look if you're being a dick, fine, be a dick, but at least drop me a text, let me know you're all right." " Hello." " You think i'm being a dick?" "Hi, how are you?" "I'm not the one scared to tell his best mate he's getting married." " What?" " Two months ago you went to Amsterdam." "A month and a half." "Oh, well, fucking hell!" "Han, this isn't about you." "i told who i wanted to tell." "Deal with it." "You didn't tell me cos you knew what i'd say." "Bad idea." "Fuck you." "You want me to apologise for not telling you?" "Fine!" "You've always gotta be in control." "Know what, Han?" "You're the one who never answers the phone or says anything real." "I can't even come round your flat any more." "So stop being a hypocrite, cos you're doing my head in." "Red!" "Red!" "Red!" "Belie, red!" "I don't want scars." "Can you help me undo this, please?" "Sorry." "I'm sorry." "I don't think that's for me." "You were very good. i..." " I just got a bit..." " No, i'm sorry." "No, i am." "I'll recommend someone else." "She'll be great." "Maybe i am a hypocrite, but at least i'm not a fucking coward!" "All right." "Come and sit down." "Come on, you look mental." "I was gonna tell you." "You know i've always said i couldn't see myself getting married." "Yeah, like me." "Yeah, and you've never got on with Vanessa." " What and you thought i wouldn't approve?" " No." "You know...we're best mates, Ben." "I'd like to know you're getting married." "Ok." "But we're not best mates like that, really, are we?" "Why?" "Is it Vanessa?" "Is she threatened by me?" "No, Hannah, it's you." "I didn't tell you this, but you don't tell me anything." "You want us to share our feelings more?" "Don't make out i'm being a girl about this." "It's obvious you keep secrets everywhere." "You're seeing someone or whatever you're doing." "Y'know what, that's fine." "But don't make out like it's my fault we're not tight." "I know that's my fault, all right, i know." "I'm a private person, that's all." "Yeah, well, i just don't understand what's going on, do i?" " Look...you'd better go, yeah." " Yeah." "Ben." "Yeah?" "Congratulations." "Thanks." "Sirona was right." "Hurting people is a very special talent." "S and M has taught me one thing." "Maybe absolute control isn't always best." "Maybe sometimes you've got to give a bit away." "It's all arranged." "You'll be working with Naomi." "Hello." "Lucky boy." "i'm sending him the creme de la creme." "I'm hardly a girl's girl, but I will go gay for pay." " Why do you do it?" " would you believe me if i said i enjoyed it?" "A little girl's dream." "Or nightmare." "Am i ever gonna be able to talk to you about this?"
