James Patterson - Filthy Rich

…

She said that he wanted cute girls, so I looked cute, did my best. I didn’t-I didn’t think that it was what it was. I wasn’t naive enough to think that he was gonna pay me two hundred dollars just for nothing-I, I don’t know, like, I don’t know what was going through my head. I absolutely don’t know. And I-the back of my mind was thinking, oh, well, it could be legitimate, but I was also thinking, you know, at the same time, is she fucking crazy? Like, this guy’s not gonna pay you money for not doing anything, not letting him cop a feel or nothing. You know? So I didn’t know what to think, I was like, “Oh…if he does something that I have a problem with, then I’ll leave.”

…

D:Who were you introduced to?

V:One of his girlfriends. One of his, like, slaves that he has live with him. And when I say “slaves,” like, one of the girls that he bought to, like, have sex with him. Um, I was introduced to one of them probably, like…Sarah. I was introduced to Sarah. Um, that’s his assistant, I think. I think they have sex, but I don’t know. Um, I was introduced to his assistant Sarah, and she’s the one who told me that he would be ready in a second. And from there I met various other girls. I don’t really-I didn’t pay attention to who they were, though…So…we were waiting on the couch in the bathroom, and, um, Jeffrey comes up, and he’s like, “Hey, I’m-I’m Jeffrey.” He just introduced himself, and he hands-I remember this ’cause I was pissed off that she got paid to bring me. Like, I was pissed off. He hands her a wad of hundred-dollar bills and says, “Thank you,” and she says, “I’ll wait for you downstairs,” and I was like, “All right, I’ll see you in a little while.” And that’s how I was brought to Jeffrey.

…

Um. Hold on-I’m remembering. I’m, like, picturing in my head. I wore a skirt. I remember specifically what I wore: I wore a skirt and just a regular T-shirt. And I was massaging his legs, and he asked me to take off my skirt. And I said-I think I said no at first. And he’s like, “Come on, you’re not showing”-he talked me into it, basically. He’s like, “Oh, you’re not showing anything,” or [he] did something; I don’t even know. So I ended up taking off my skirt, and then he goes-well, I think he just started touching, you know, the top of me. So-and then he asked me.

D:When you’re saying “the top of you,” you mean your breasts?

V:Yeah. And then he asked me to take off my shirt. So I took off my shirt, but I kept my underwear on. And I wouldn’t take my underwear off: I told him no. And he still paid me the same amount. And that was that. I went home.

…

D:So, in other words, he-

V:Finished with himself and that was it. Yeah, he ejaculated. Specifically.

D:That was the first time you went there?

V:Mm-hmm.

D: And-I know, take a deep breath, I know, I can see it in your eyes already. From then on, you went there multiple times?

V:I had problems with it. [With] what happened the first time. But three hundred dollars for forty minutes-that was a lot for a sixteen-year-old girl making six bucks an hour.

D:So you’re saying you’re sure you were sixteen now?

V:Um, I don’t want to say I’m sure of my age. I was under seventeen, one hundred percent.

…

D:Okay. Um, when you-the first time you went, when he masturbated, did you see?

V:[giggles]

D:His member?

V:Oh, I thought you were going to ask me if I saw, like, his come.

D:No.

V:I saw all of the above.

D:You saw him naked, fully naked? Fully naked?

V:Yeah, a hundred percent naked. He had a towel on for some of it, but that doesn’t mean anything. Like, he was naked.

D:He took off the towel?

V:I saw everything, yeah.

…

I mean, I’m sorry, he is circumcised, my bad. He’s circumcised, a hundred and ten percent sure. A matter of fact, he has some sort of birth defect. On his thing. I don’t know what it is [giggles]; I’ve never really looked at it, because I’ve never done anything where I had to touch it. I’ve never touched it-out of the whole time I worked for him, I never touched his penis. Like, he-I’m pretty sure he rubbed it against me, but I’ve never ever been, like, “Okay, I’m letting you do this” or “I’m gonna do this to you.” Um, it’s really weirdly shaped. I don’t know-do you want me to, like, tell you this?

…

I’m just really embarrassed. Um, it’s like a teardrop, like a drop of water. It’s really fat at the bottom and skinny at the top, where it’s attached. And he never gets fully hard, ever. Like, I just could tell by looking at it-like, by looking you can obviously tell if you’re hard or not, and I could tell that he wasn’t.

…

D:The next time you went, or as you continued to go, did it escalate more?

V.Mm-hmm. I actually-I don’t remember how long it took for me to start working for him regularly, from the first time I went there. But I started working every day. Every single day he was in the country I would be there…And, um, I told him that I wouldn’t let him put anything inside of me; that was my rule. Nothing inside of me-no fingers, no, no nothing, absolutely nothing inside of me. He increased my pay to three or four hundred dollars as long as he could touch me. Um, I still never-I, I swear I never touched him, the whole entire time I never, ever touched him. Um, but he, he-

D:How many times would you say you went?

V:Hundreds. Hundreds. I was-he used to tell me I was his favorite. He bought me a car. He bought me-

D:This Jeep that you’re driving?

V:No. I had a brand-new Dodge Neon. I got a plane-I got a plane ticket to New York; I got spending money whenever I wanted. Like, I was in there deep. I was-he asked my parents to emancipate me so I could live with him. Or he didn’t ask my parents, he asked me to ask my parents, I’m sorry. He actually wanted me to come live with him.

D:As, like, a girlfriend?

V:Sex slave, whatever you want to call it. Yeah. Um, but it escalated-he, he just increased my pay, as long as he could touch me. I wouldn’t let him put anything inside of me. And then one day he just did, one day he just put his hand, like, his fingers-and, um…

D:How long, would you say, from the very first time you went?

V:Months. Honestly, I never kept track, like, of, of what happened when. I just can tell you in which order things progressed.

…

It was-it was, like, towards the middle and end of my school year. But I remember that for the last, like, six or eight weeks of high school, I didn’t have a car ’cause I gave it back to him. Because he-he asked me to have sex with him and, like, like suck him and stuff [giggles], and I was just like, no. Definitely not. I was like, “I’ll let you touch me, but I’m not gonna do that.”

…

Yeah, the car was a Dodge Neon 2005. He got it for me before the New Year, because I remember I got it-it was an edition that was a year before they were supposed to come out. So if I got it, I obviously didn’t get a 2006, ’cause that’s this year. I got a 2005 Neon in 2004. Seven miles on it when I got it. The car was awesome [giggles].

…

I gave it back before I graduated. It got too-it got too sticky for me. He wanted more than I was willing to give. I didn’t wanna-I didn’t want to, um, suck his dick. I didn’t want to have sex with him. I never did that, and I wanted to be able to walk away from this saying that I-saying that I never did that. And I’m glad that I did.

…

But I lied to him when I gave it back. I didn’t want to burn my bridges, because he was a spectacular connection to have. Spectacular. Even if I didn’t-even when I didn’t work for him. Until this day, he is so aw-he is so-I haven’t talked to him in, like, a couple months, but if I called him today he would give me as much money as I asked him for. He doesn’t know that I hate him the way I do. I kept that connection. I figured he used me, I’d be able to use him. Um, I hate to say that, but I figured if I wanted to use him I could.
