"I love London." "I love its rudeness, its lack of community, its impatience." "I even love its weather." "But most of all, I love the anonymity." "The first thing you should know about me is that I'm a whore." "ln a world of children in bikinis and grandmothers in fuck-me boots, the surest way to tell a prostitute is to look for the woman in the designer suit." "Locate the lifts, glide past reception." "Look like you know where you're going." "Walk quickly, don't attract too much attention." "Be fabulous but forgettable." "You should also know, that this isn't the real me." "Morning." "Escort, hooker, prostitute, whore - I don't mind what you call me." "That's just semantics." "There are as many different kinds of working girls as there are kinds of people, so you can't generalise." "But, I can tell you about me." "I should say upfront that I wasn't abused by a relative..." "I've got no children to support and I've never been addicted to anything." "Except for maybe the fourth season of The West Wing, but, you know..." "I'm very high class... which means I charge by the hour... and I charge a lot." "So, why do I do it?" "Well, I love sex and I love money." "And I know you don't believe I enjoy the sex, but I do." "Plus, I'm fundamentally lazy." "What I really like is being my own boss."

"And never the twain shall meet." "Rule number two." "Stay in control." "They sit down, I stand up." "Get the money first." "Yeah." "I'll call after." "No problem." "All right, bye." "Rule three." "Safety." "Always check in with the agency." "So, if I say "no problemo" instead of "no problem", there's a problem." "Everything you need's in here." "Rule four." "Hygiene." "Mine and his." "I always use men's deodorant." "I never wear perfume." "A professional never lets her client leave smelling of woman." "Convince them that you're wet and you're half way there." "Goes without saying." "And last but definitely not least, work out what the client wants as fast as you can, and give it to him." "Come with me." "Tell me something you fantasise about." "What d'you mean?" " Something that turns you on." " Oh!" "This." "Where are we doing this?" "Where would you like to fuck me?" "Outside." "Are we in an alleyway, in a dirty alley?" "Em..." "OK." "(Mouth full) On a beach?" "ln a field?" "On a farm?" "Ah, the field's on the farm." "I'm a country girl." "You're a farmer... or a stable boy that's seduced me." "Oh!" "Oh!" "Can you see the stables?" "Yeah, course I can." "Can you smell the horses?" "I can smell the horses, they're making noises in their stalls." "They're getting very excited." "Horses have giant cocks, don't they?" "Oh, yes." "Yes, they do." "Maybe you should take me to the stable." "Dinna fuck the horse!" "No, I don't even get close." "It's too big." "Ohh!" "What's it doing?" "The horse, the stallion, is out of control." "It's far too big." "It sounds like it's going to break the stall door." " Aye, they're powerful, horses." " Very." "Powerful." "Horse." "I tell everyone I'm a legal secretary for one of those huge international law firms." "You know, the ones that need staff at night to meet contract deadlines." "It's so boring, no one ever asks me about it." "I can't even tell my best friend, Ben, what I do for a living." "Best custard tart in London, that." "See the crust?" "That's not a machine, that's hand-made." " I thought Vanessa had you on a diet?" " She does." "I'm living on fucking tofu, but I'm eating leftovers at the club." "You've been fatter than this!" "I never put you on a diet." "Yeah, but you're the worst girlfriend in the world." " What?" " Don't mess about." "You never!" " You don't really..." " Look at the size of your chops." " It's really nice." " Give it." "Yes, I do." "Oh, you!" " Fancy a game of spoilt little rich girl?" " We haven't done that in a while." " That one!" " That one!" "Well, I think this is lovely." "It's a shame the pool's so small, though." "We're not making a decision based on pool size, Benjamin." "It is shit though." "Let's... go on in." "Oh, plush!" "This is perfect." "Beautiful fireplace." "Oh, yeah, great." "Barrister or QC." "No way." "Stockbroker." "It's owned by a retired barrister who wants to move out of London." "He still loves the property."

"Plays like an angel." "Thanks very much." "Goodbye." "Chopin, you cunt?" "How does anyone ever afford to buy a house in London?" "One day." "It's just about making the money." "It's a nice hotel." "Not big enough for an Arab, not expensive enough for an American, not trendy enough for a young professional." "He'll be over 50, long-term married." "First time with an escort, so I'm guessing he'll be newly retired, which has led to a drop in self-esteem and a need to feel powerful and special." "This is why I'm good at my job." "Belle?" "Daniel?" "Hi." "Right, I'll get a drink, shall I?" "Why don't you just try lying back?" "Sorry." "Oh, God, oh, God!" "Oh, look at that, the hour's all gone!" "Don't worry." " No, look, I have to say, I can't afford..." " I mean, don't worry, we'll get there." "Just need to relax." "Why don't you watch me have a play?" "That's extraordinarily nice of you." "It's just..." "I have to, um..." "I'm going to have to go, actually." "What...you're not staying here?" "No, I can't." "I'm not a huge fan of hotels really." "But you stay if you want." "I paid online." "On my own?" "Well... if you like." "I'm just offering, so as not to waste, um...any..." "Thank you, though." "Thanks for your time." "And I'm sorry... ..Belle." "Enchante." "No, no, I'm sorry. ls..." "ls there anything in particular I haven't..." "Oh, no, no, no, no, it's just..." "Er...good night." "Well, that's a first." "Thank you." "Just put it there, thank you." "No one else?" "Oh, well." "Probably for the best." "Can't have anyone getting too hefty." "And last but not least, Rachel." "I make it two three." "No, it's two." "Rachel, look at me with my books, my records." "Now look at you with your roots." "It's two three, sweetheart." "I owe you the three hundred." "Yes, you do." "Now, ugly mugs." "This gentleman has been all over town with fraudulent money." "Shiny notes." "He tried it on with one of Bruce's girls." "She said he spoke with an accent." " Be Eastern European." " You can't say that." "No, it's racist." "Can't be fucking racist against Eastern Europeans." " You can be prejudiced." " I'm fucking prejudiced then." " Right, we're all agreed." " They are my people." "Funny how you're listed as Swedish on the site then." "Enough." "Right, that's your lot." "Where's Fiona?" "Apparently her bloke saw the photo of her on the internet." " Oh, no." " Recognised underwear he'd bought her." " No!" " I should get my pictures more pixelated." "No one is getting more pixelated." "Christ, they can barely make out your gender as it is." "I just couldn't bear it if my parents found out." "Ladies, I've got another lot here in a minute." "And keep things free." "Holiday season coming up and all that." "Oh, um, my young one from the other night, Daniel, did you hear anything?" "Yes, he rang to book again, actually, but I gave him someone else." " He was more specific this time." " What did he want, then?" "He asked for girl next door." "He said jeans, no make-up." " Takes all sorts, I suppose." " Who've you given him to?" " Rachel." " Rachel?" "¡ê300 short Rachel?" "Are you playing me?" "Now, stop asking favours and if you're not going to eat anything, fuck off." "Hello." "Yes, Gabriella is free." "Six o'clock is fine." "Thank you." "You know, I would order something but I'd be worried you'd take 40% of my food." "Sorry, I know you were expecting someone else." "Oh, no, no." " Rachel's not well." "It's not good." " Right." "Well, hurray!" "Well, not hurray." "So you've got me, without the miracle of hair and make-up." "No, I like it." "We can put you in a nice hot shower, if we just get the..." "Oh, yeah, of course!" "Why do you wear shoes in your own flat?" "Sorry?" "Well, it's just..." "it looks like you're on your way out." "Oh, you're a fan of feet, then?" "Not like that!" "Yeah!" "That'll be the..." "Hello." "No problem, no problem." "Yeah, I know." "I'll call..." "I'll call you after." "OK, bye." "My girlfriend and I were together for four years... and it's difficult." "I mean, I meet other girls." "I like some of them." "But, after half an hour or so I just realise how little I appreciated..." "When did you find out?" "At a party." "She was with her chap." "She's nine months." "She's like...right out." "She looks exactly like I always imagined she would." "Oh, no, you don't have to do the other one." "No." "I do." "I have to do both." "I have a thing."

"You're Hannah?" "Yeah." "Hi, this is Ben, I can't take your call now." "Leave me a message." "I know, Stephanie, and now I'm asking you to give him to someone else." "Well, I'm unpredictable like that." "I don't know, tell him whatever you want." "You're not going to believe what I found." "I was quite a spoilt little girl when I was younger and one of the many lessons I had..." "Now, what I want to know is who wears this?" "You or me?" "Sometimes, it's not the youngest or the richest clients you want, or the ones you have most in common with." "For me, the perfect partner is one where I never have to be myself." "Sometimes I get paid to do things I've always wanted to do." "The most prestigious adult party in the country." " Oh, shit!" " Shit, sorry," "I know that man from somewhere."

"Starts out all exciting and passionate, then I get bored, sleep with someone else and leave." "So that's it." "The all-nighter." "You play some games, you read a book, you find a friend." "and during the small hours, one that you're won't enjoy in bed, you do everybody else does when they're on the night shift." "You think of the money!" "Good morning, Benjamin." "Alright, and how are you?" "Being an escort involves pain." "But sometimes pain can be pleasure." "Now get off the carpet, you disgust me!" "You do this job long enough, you wanna kick the shit out of him, eventually." "Are you going to do whatever I tell you?" "I'm sleeping with this bloke who's quite into S/M." "And then do the kitchen." "I can't even come around your flat anymore." "This isn't about you." "Deal with it." "I don't want you to be nice to me." "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 money do I owe you then?" "Shall we say 300?" "ln that case we could just call it even." "No." "By the book." "I 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 that I think about." "Oui, ma cher." "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." "No, sweetheart." "I'm the boss in the bedroom." "Course you are." "Smack her about a bit, do you?" "Well, you've got to, ain't you?" " As long as it's with an open palm it's allowed." " As long as it's with an open palm it's allowed." "No, it's just..." "I was sleeping with this bloke who's quite into SM." " What bloke?" " Some bloke." " Who?" "Do I know him?" " Doubt it." "ls 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 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?" "I'm getting married." "I asked Vanessa to marry me." "My God..." "That's brilliant." "When did this happen?" " ln Amsterdam." "I took her to this place..." " ln Amsterdam?" "Yeah." " That was months ago." " It was 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 pissed off." "Why would I be pissed off?" "I mean, well done, it's...great." "Hann..." "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." "It's not that." "I like him and he does my taxes." "Sirona runs a 'Dungeon and 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." "I don't think so." "Position three." "You don't mind, do you?" "He's not allowed to clothes indoors." "Oh, no, I'm used to it." "Can I get you anything to drink?" " Oh, herbal tea." " Absolutely." "Erm...?" "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." "Actually, I'd rather he didn't." "So why not send your client my way?" "I'm curious." "Curiosity is the first stop to enlightenment." "I thought it killed the cat." "Belle, 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 start to sag." "My tits are fine." "Then..." "Let's begin." "To speak in very basic terms, it breaks down into cross-dress roleplay, 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." "lncreasing 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?" "ln the Brownies." "What about the sex?" " There is no sex." " None at all?" " How do you know when you've finished?" " My watch peeps." "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." "That's great." "ls he in the business?" "Oh, Frank's a professor but he's often there in sessions." "Pottering about making tea." "It must be lovely." "Sharing it with someone." "It's marriage." "Not clean enough." "You try it." " There you go." " That was bizarre." "You've got to see for a lot of people, Belle, it's a huge relief." "Not being in charge?" "It's not him doing these dirty things." "His mistress is forcing him." "He has no choice." "Yeah, must be 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." "I'm so glad I didn't get hit by a bus." "Hi, this is Hannah." "I'm not around." "Leave a message." "Bye." "Hann, 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." "The script." "The scenario." "Even the insults I'll 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." " Oh...!" "When we caught you trying to escape I could have had you shot." "This way I thought it'd 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 could 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." "All right, sorry." "This is what you deserve." "How do you know if you're doing it right?" "ln 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 Belle." "Yeah..." "Look, I've run out of ideas and I've still got ages to go." "Yes, 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 who's too scared to tell his best mate he's getting married." "What?" "Two months!" "Two months ago you went to Amsterdam." " It's a month and a half." " Well, fucking hell!" "Hann, 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 always have to be in control." "You know what, Hann?" "You're the one who never answers the phone or speaks about anything real these days." "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." "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 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 always said I couldn't see me getting married?" " Yeah, like me." " Yeah." "And, I dont know, you've never got on with Vanessa." "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?" " ls it Vanessa, is she threatened by me?" " No, Hannah, it's you." "I didn't tell you about this, yeah, but you don't tell me anything." "What?" "Share our feelings more?" "Don't make it like I'm being a girl." "It's fucking obvious you keep secrets everywhere, seeing someone or whatever is you're doing." "And, you know what?" "That's fine." "But don't make it out like it's my fault we're not tight." "I know that's my fault, OK?" "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." "SM 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." "What you do then?" "Would you believe me if I said I enjoyed it?" "A little girl's dream... or nightmare." "Am I ever going to be able to talk to you about this?"
