"Of course. I'll pay... But for now, all I ask is that you give me a chance and demonstrate how capable I am. I'll even offer you a free massage and show you I can get the money to pay you back. My grandfather was well known, and I will take up his mantle... Unless you like to overpay for subpar massages from bougie spas that leech money from a hard-working woman such as yourself," Lucas added a bit of confidence into his voice as he spoke.
The woman narrowed her eyes and gave him a cold stare. He could see the anger in her eyes, and he was sure she would yell at him, but then she smirked.
"Alright, little boy, I'll play along. I'll have to see for myself if what you're saying is true. But if I am not satisfied, then you will have to leave today. This is my property, after all."
Lucas agreed and led her inside. He was nervous and scared as they reached the door to the massage room number one.
"Alright, Miss. Please follow me to the massage room," Lucas said, trying his best not to sound nervous.
The woman looked at her watch. "You have an hour to prove your worth."
"Oh, trust me, Miss. Once you get a taste of the legendary massage my Grandfather taught me, you'll be wanting more. Come this way, please," Lucas said, trying to sound confident.
The woman gave him a skeptical look but followed him anyway. Lucas took her to the biggest massage room in the Parlor.
Lucas sighed at his predicament as he opened the door and led the woman to his grandfather's favorite massage room, mostly because it was a larger space than the second massage room.
"Right this way, Miss?..."
"Call me Ms. Williams," the woman answered as she walked behind him.
"Very well, Ms. Williams. You can place your personal things on the shelf over there, and once you are ready. You can lie down on the table," Lucas said as he tried not to think about how his life was about to end in less than an hour.
The woman put her purse on the shelf and walked to the massage table without a word.
"Do I need a robe or something?"
"If you wish to keep your clothes on, that's fine. They won't get in the way, so it's up to you. But I will have to ask you to remove your jewelry, though. It can interfere with the massage, and the last thing I want is for it to become a problem," Lucus said as he sanitized the massage table.
The woman looked at him, then back to the table, "Very well, but if I find you touching me inappropriately, I will make sure you get locked up, understood?"
"Yes, Ms. Williams," Lucas said with a gulp.
Ms. Williams was amused at how nervous the young man was. She loved making men nervous, and since this was her first time here, she would give him a chance. She took off her jewelry and placed it on the shelf, then she took a deep breath and lay on her stomach on the massage table.
"Whenever you are ready, Mr. Smith."
"Just call me Lucas," he said, trying not to sound nervous.
"Very well, Lucas. Let's get started. I don't have all day."
"Before I begin, do you have any areas of concern I should know about?" Lucas asked.
"Not that I know of. But I'll let you know if I feel anything is off."
"Understood," Lucas answered.
Lucas shut the blinds, locked the door, and turned on the aromatherapy machine.
"Now, I'll ask you to keep your legs apart and raise your arms above your head."
"Okay..."
Ms. Williams was curious about the claims about his grandfather's massages and whether this boy was speaking the truth. She couldn't go easy on this man, even though he was pleasant in her eyes. She was going to be cold and firm, so no man could think of trying to manipulate her. If his claims were true, then she would allow him to keep working at the parlor until he paid his debts. But if this were some joke, she would make sure to ruin his life.
'I've never heard of this famous 'Mr. Smith' nor his grandson... It's obvious that he's bluffing. Otherwise, they wouldn't be in debt. If this young man is lying, then I'll get him kicked out for sure. And if he thinks he can have a go at me, then he will be sore down there for a month after I kick him in the balls, that is, and he will never touch a woman again!.. I will not have any man disrespect me. I am a woman of status and power, and I will not stand for this. No matter what happens, I can't show any sign of weakness,' she thought as she followed his instructions and opened her legs slightly.
She looked back at him to see his reaction, but Lucas had his back turned to her.
'Hmm? Maybe he's more professional than I gave him credit for.'
Ms. Williams listened as the young man readied the room and was impressed by how clean it looked.
'Whatever... At least I will get a free crappy massage out of this before I kick him to the curb,' she thought as she took a deep breath and felt herself relaxing to the scent of lavender. She closed her eyes and began to focus on her breathing. She didn't know if this young man had any skills, but she wouldn't make it easy on him.
'Hmm? That smell... I thought it was lavender, but it's something else... It smells good. Hmm? Wait, no, I can't get comfortable. This could all be a trap... B-But it feels so relaxing... Maybe I have been too stressed out lately.'
Lucas had taken out a special oil mixture his grandfather made from his secret stash and poured it into the hot stone bowl. Once it was mixed, he took the bowl and placed it near Ms. William's head. She was trying to be alert if he tried anything, but the oil's aroma was so relaxing that she was starting to drift into a peaceful state of mind.
Lucas nodded, moved the hot stone bowl away from her, and readied himself.
'Huh? Why did he take away the bowl? No, it's not time to get distracted. Focus, Alexa! You can't let him see that you were falling for his tricks. Stay strong!...'
She was about to say something when she felt Lucas's hand on her back, which caused a warm sensation to flow throughout her body. It felt nice and was not like any massage she had before. It was as if he was pouring warmth into her body through his fingertips.
'Huh? What's this warm sensation? I-It's not from the hot rocks. What is he doing?!' She thought as a shiver went down her spine as Lucas's fingers gently brushed her neck.
She didn't know how he was doing it, but he was releasing some kind of heat through his fingers, which relaxed her entire body. It was not enough for her to lose consciousness, but it was enough to cause her to sigh and moan a bit.
Ms. Williams tried her best not to make any sounds, but her body was reacting involuntarily.
'H-His hands feel so soft... Wait, no, stop, Alexa! Focus! This could all be a trick, but his touch is so calming and relaxing... W-Why does it feel so good?!' She thought.
She was confused as she was losing herself in the sensation and began to feel her arousal growing.
