((Emily: Valmont is not picky. You're welcome to him.))
*Valmont sniffed and waved a hand.*
"Is that all?"
*He pulled a purse from his jacket pocket.*
"This should pay the bills," *he said, tossing the little bag of gold coins to her.* "There. That takes care of today, at least."
*He tilted his head at her.*
"Does that make me somewhat more attractive?"

*Scarlett caught the bag automatically, her mouth falling open.* I...monsieur, really, I couldn't possibly... *She bit her lip, thinking hard. Her family definitely needed the money- maid's work didn't pay much, and even all 4 of her jobs combined weren't really enough to do much to help. But she couldn't just sleep with him, could she? That would be...wrong... No. They needed the money. She needed to work. This might actually pay better. So she summoned a smile and turned back to him.* Well...maybe I could.

*Valmont smiled wryly, as if he could read her train of thought. It was hardly original.*
"Of course you can," *he murmured.* "I'm not a man to be gainsaid, once I've decided on something."
Or someone.
*He beckoned to her with his hand.*

*She took a deep breath and stepped towards him slowly, setting down her supplies and tucking the bag into a pocket of her dress.*

"There you are."
*He grasped her hand, then tugged on it so that she came up against him. He fingered the tendrils of hair which fell about her face. A maid's face, certainly--not a lady's. But maids could be fun, too. And this one had all the desperate will to survive of a small, wild animal. It was arousing. He bent his head to capture her lips, his free hand drawing her close.*

*She tilted her head ever so slightly, enough so that he just barely missed her lips without seeming to actually avoid him.*

*He smiled to himself, but did not display his amusement, merely planted soft kisses on the skin next to her lips, then trailing them up along her jaw to the tender skin just below her ear.*
"I think you'll find the world still has much to show you," *he murmured.*

*She nodded slightly, squeezing her eyes shut and pretending it was Michael. True, he hadn't been...exactly...masterful, but at least she'd loved him. This was just whoring herself out- but she wasn't going to back out now.*

((At least Mikey's genuine. Or tries to be.
In any case, his emotions are close to the surface and he acts on them.))

*She nodded slightly, squeezing her eyes shut and pretending it was Michael. True, he hadn't been...exactly...masterful, but at least she'd loved him. This was just whoring herself out- but she wasn't going to back out now.* *Valmont pursed his lips, well aware of her reticence and not caring one bit. He took pride in his work, but pride it was--it mattered little exactly how much she'd get out of this. He knew very well his skill. His fingers trailed up and down her sides and his lips descended to the crook where her shoulder met her neck. He pulled her neckline slightly aside, turning as he did so to press her against the wall.*
