IN THIS CHAPTER: With only a day left before she is to report back to Mistress Tallenger's estate, Lilly visits with lawyers to discuss the contract. Lilly's appointments lead to some embarrassing, yet revelatory, admissions. Hopeful a powerful contract attorney will take her case, Lilly submits to some unorthodox demands. A law clerk cleaves Claire and takes Lilly to a humiliating climax in front of strangers.

She felt it important to dress professionally, and since one of the lawyers she planned to see today was a man, adding some sexiness seemed to be a good idea. She bundled her breasts into a lace open-cup shelf bra that left her nipples exposed. She matched it with a skimpy pink silk thong that hugged Claire's tiny billows tightly. Black nylon thigh highs with seams down the backs rounded out her lingerie. The tight lacy bands at the top meant she didn't need to wear a garter belt.
Next, she selected a business suit. The raspberry-colored blazer she selected was cut and tapered tightly to her waist; a single silver button clasped over her belly button displayed her generous cleavage. Her nipples were sexy little suggestions beneath the sportcoat. A matching pencil skirt landed midway on her thighs and hugged her hips just enough to accentuate her bottom. Black heels and a black leather clutch tied it together nicely.
Pulling her Mahogany tresses into an efficient bun, she left her bangs be and pulled wisps of it free to frame her face. Lilly was never one for a lot of makeup and she kept it simple: A little powder to dim the dusting of freckles across her nose, light pink lipstick with gloss, soft blush and some dusty eyeshadow to highlight her emerald-hued peepers.
More than a few people had told her she resembled Audrey Hepburn. Lilly had looked the actress up online and she saw some similarity in the eye shape, cheekbones and facial structure. But from her perspective, Audrey was far more beautiful. The actress was a couple inches shorter and had tiny A-cups that were dwarfed by Lilly's D's. At 104 pounds, Audrey was beyond petite when compared to Lilly's 122 pounds. Plus, she had green eyes and Audrey's were deep brown pools you could swim in.

Arriving at the first appointment, Lilly was ushered into an office where an older overweight man sat. There were stacks of paper around him and based on his pale skin, Lilly wasn't sure he ever left the office. "My assistant said you wanted me to look over a contract?"
Lilly didn't have a physical copy of the document. She had tried to print it out and an error code kept popping up on the screen. When she looked at it on her phone, it was a jumbled mess. But she figured she would talk to an attorney first and then worry about getting it printed. "Well, I'd like to speak with you about it. It's an NDA and there is some language that says I can't share it." Crossing her legs, she knew the tops of the thigh highs would be revealed.
The man tugged an earlobe and adjusted his glasses. Looking over his desk, his eyes fell to her legs and after a moment, Lilly grinned and casually uncrossed them, exposing the pink silk triangle covering Claire. If he wanted to look up her skirt because it meant he would take her case, she had no problem putting Claire on display. But he soon lost interest and brought his eyes to hers. He asked, "You have an accent. You're American, yes?"
"Yes."
Nodding, he said, "We have the same attorney-client privilege in Switzerland as you do in the U.S."
"Oh, okay. I didn't know that."
He leaned back and pulled the glasses off his nose. Tugging a handkerchief from the pocket of his suit coat, he slowly wiped the lenses. "Did my assistant share my hourly rate?" Lilly shook her head and opened her thighs a bit more. His eyes flicked down and held on her pussy. Clearing his throat, he looked up and said, "Miss, I can appreciate a woman's vagina as much as the next man, but you might be interested to know I'm gay."
"Oh." Her cheeks flushed and she crossed her legs. There was no point in giving him something he wasn't interested in.
He said, "I require a $5,000 retainer and my services are $500 an hour. And just so we are clear, those rates also apply to clients who have a penis between their legs."
Lilly's heart sank. Even if she drained her account, she couldn't afford this man. "I see." Thinking quickly, she said, "If I paid the $500, would you at least hear me out. I'm not sure I have a leg to stand on."
He cocked an eyebrow. "You've already signed this contract?"
"Yes."
He looked at Lilly with disdain. Pushing the glasses on, he said, "Young lady, I can't negotiate a contract that you've already signed."
Lilly felt like the idiot he made her out to be. "I was...I really needed the work."
Shaking his head, he said, "I completely understand, but that doesn't improve your position in any negotiation that could have taken place."
She fought back tears. "So you won't even talk to me about it for $500?"
"I'm sorry, but since you've already signed it, there is no reason to do so and I would still require the retainer. I am running a business here." He looked at her for a moment before sighing heavily. "One way to look at this is that I saved you $5,500."
Lilly sniffled, excused herself and walked out.
Two hours later she walked into another firm. This one was larger. There were people bustling about and the click-clack of keyboards being rapidly banged on filled a large room as she followed a fit man of about her age into an office that was well appointed with expensive looking furniture and artwork. There were pictures of a woman Lilly knew from the firm's website to be Francesca Fulton-Fontaine. In the pictures, the lawyer was attending various lavish events and shaking hands with important looking people. Lilly thought one of them was a movie star, but couldn't be sure.
Francesca was the lead contract attorney at the firm and had made partner last year, just before turning 40. Lilly already knew she wouldn't be able to afford the woman's services, but she hoped that since they were both female, an accommodation could be made; that Francesca would take pity on her.
When the clerk introduced her afternoon appointment, Francesca's eyes danced over Lilly's body, pausing at the dark valley of cleavage before trailing downward and holding on the short skirt. On cue, Claire woke up, a tiny dribble of feminine froth seeped. Lilly smiled uncomfortably; she wasn't sure of what to make of the non-verbal exchange they had just shared. Perhaps the "girl aura" was at work. If dressing sexy for the male lawyer hadn't worked, perhaps it would with Francesca.
The lawyer was tall and runway-model attractive with high cheekbones and symmetrical facial structure punctuated by a perky nose and defined chin. She had a French accent, entrancing grey eyes and a very firm handshake. She wore her jet-black hair up and pulled away from her face. She was slender with an alluringly long neck and breasts so modest she didn't need to wear a bra. And she wasn't. A nearly sheer white silk blouse conveyed her small, rosey areolas and sharply pointed nipples. Exquisitely tailored skin-tight grey slacks highlighted modest hips and the thin material tucked nicely into her feminine contours. It was obvious to Lilly the woman wasn't wearing panties. Her long legs narrowed to small ankles and brilliant red heels finished things off with a sexy flourish at her feet.
Francesca smiled. "It's nice to meet you, Lilly." She looked at the clerk and said, "David, that will be all. Lock the door on your way out and hold my calls." A distinct electric click was heard after David closed the door. Lilly took a seat on the other side of the woman's desk, leaving her thighs slightly open. She figured that if the lawyer was into girls, showing a little of herself might help sway Francesca to take her case.
