(hello out there! So this is the start of a new series wherein a young woman is introduced to the BDSM lifestyle via Shibari and other methods. I LOVE character and scene building so yes that slows the initial progress of, but I'm sure once rolling you WILL enjoy! PEASE give me some comments, and thanks so much for reading!!!)
It was serendipity, really. Johnathan Roberts was just chilling at his favorite gulf-side café, enjoying the day. For nearly 30+ years He'd been a lawyer, amassing a partnership in a firm and gaining substantial real estate holdings/investments, but after becoming a widow he just grew tired of it, and now in his mid-50's, He'd sold his shares of the firm, his rentals and undeveloped land, and moved two states/500 miles to Florida's panhandle, having decided to go into semi-retirement.
This 'forgotten-coast' quiet area breeds its own type of people, and after some months he was becoming known as less of an outsider, but still enough so that locals thought of him as one of those aloof, self-absorbed types. They weren't entirely wrong, and Johnathan guessed that's why the two waitresses at their station didn't know or care that he could overhear their conversation regarding Ashley Brooke West, their coworker's, desperate financial situation. And that is where the idea was born, that lead to the aforementioned moment of enlightenment.
Under darkening skies, he was on his way the next day to grab some lunch when Johnathan saw Ms. Ashley Brooke West, the one of whom the two waitresses spoke, walking and looking pensively up at the sky. She didn't even have an umbrella, and that was serendipity. He noticed her look beamed as she saw a customer she recognized step out of the luxury black full sized GMC truck, umbrella in hand. As he opened her door and got her seated, she said "Wow a knight in shining armor! Thanks so much for rescuing me!" Indeed, young lady, indeed.
Ashley West was a real beauty, standing about 5 foot 8, she was a natural brunette, her hair below her shoulders, pouty lips and doe eyes, and a curvy body with super nice breasts and shapely hips. She looked to be in her mid to late twenties, making her nearly half his age. Perfect. Not what he had been truly looking for, but one thing the courtroom had taught Johnathan Roberts was to go with what you've got, and go all in. The rest works itself out.
They talked a bit as he drove, her talking all about her dead car and her money woes (same as he heard the other night) and she gratefully accepted his offer of lunch, even mentioning that it was her first meal of the day. That was noticeable as she wolfed down her food, and he even bought her a to-go plate for her 'friend'. It was when she was complimenting the new 2023 Denali Ultimate Truck, with its plush leather interior that he went with his play.
"Ashley, I'm sorry you're in a tough spot, but I have an idea, if you're willing to listen."
She smirked and eyed him, replying, "Umm...OK...Go ahead."
"Look, I was at the restaurant the other night, and over heard via my waitress that you were on hard times. In addition to your car, you likely have school in the fall too, right?"
She rolled her eyes and grunted an "Ugh." Then looked at him and said, "My family is tapped, we're locals, and blue collar at that. No beach house, no nice vehicles to drive, no offense. I'm going to have to drop, and just work a few years and see what happens. I desperately want out of this life, but I owe more than a grand on the car, rent's behind even with a roommate, so school? Out of the question for now, especially at server pay rates."
"Yeah well, that's my idea. How much would it take for you to be fully caught up and then also how much for school?"
"I already see where this is going," she said quickly.
