In the game of seduction, there is only one rule: Never fall in love.

It was the perfect set up. They always were, though.
Dr. Greenbaum had no idea. She was too busy overcharging for this and that, pretending to be someone she wasn't. Too bad she never realized he was pretending as well.
It was their last session before she took a month off for her "Great Parenting" book tour. This was where it was all going to unravel itself. It was perfect, she gave him a copy of her book (discreetly charging for it), told him he'd be fine, hugged him, and then got the call from her daughter.
Oh, and the mention of her legs, and how he'd love to photograph them, that couldn't be forgotten.
He left her office with a final good-bye, knowing she would say some sarcastic remark once the door closed. As he left the building, he could see the conversation she was having with her daughter in his mind.
"He told me loved me! And that I had killer legs, and all he wanted to do was photograph them, and then things just got completely out of hand!"
He grinned and counted down... 3, 2, 1
"Joshua! You little shit, I'm going to kill you!" He watched with a grin as she pounded on the glass windows of her building. A security guard came and tried to pull her away.
He turned around and threw her book into a trash can, seeing a brunette girl staring at him.
"What's her problem?" the girl asked. He shrugged and said, "God, you're beautiful." He got the standard reaction, she blushed and tucked her hair behind her ears, thanking him.
"What's your name?"
"Clarissa," she said with a shy smile.
"I'm going to take you to lunch," he stuck out his hand and she took it, and they walked off.
Dr. Greenbaum was still yelling, trying to get out of the arms of the security guard.
It was all in all, a normal day in the life of Joshua Valmont.
