"I think Elspeth is due back here soon. I suppose I'd better go and make myself beautiful" Melanie smiled, gazing into James' eyes for just that little bit longer than nescessary as she always seemed to do.
"That should be the quickest job ever" James kissed Melanie gently on the lips before she left. It was a corny line but he didn't care.
As he watched his chosen girls perfect naked form depart, James felt a huge sense of happiness and relief. There were no more decisions to be made, no more girls to try and figure out and he could finally stop second guessing himself. He had got the girl he wanted.
Of course, he still had very little idea what Elspeth had in store for him and Melanie, beyond dinner. But he had the idea Mel had been invited over for the night at least which excited him greatly.
Right on cue, the showers turned themselves and the room dried out as Elspeth appeared behind him.
"So, I see you've finally come to a decision" her expression was neutral. James assumed she had seen everything and wondered if she had managed to dissaprove in some way.
"Yes Mistress" James nodded "I choose Melanie"
"I see" Elspeth had a wicked smirk playing on her lips, he could tell she was in one of her moods.
"I must say you have played this masterfully" she began to tease "you had your fun, strung any number of girls along and probably broke poor Meghan's heart before choosing the girl everyone knew you liked the most from the beginning"
James wasn't crazy enough to argue with Elspeth, but he hated when she was like this. That wasn't how it happened. Before his last meeting with Mel he had no idea if she was even interested in him or what he was going to do.
"Never mind, the girls still think you're a perfect gentleman because you got me to ask a few questions and made friends with Morgan" she continued "well played"
James didn't bite. But he wasn't going to take a lecture in morality from someone who had bought him for £5000 because his friend broke something. He felt he had handled an almost impossible situation as well as he could.
"So what now Mistress?" He asked as politely as he could muster.
