Day 26 - Sensual @daily-writing-challenge
Working as an escort had never been a part of Dicenne’s life plan, yet here he was going on a couple decades now working for the same Madame. What began as necessity had turned into something he actually quite enjoyed, most of the time. Now that he had established a name for himself within that community, he could be picky about where and when his time would be spent.
Back in the day, between his father falling ill and his sister needing constant care, he had become the primary breadwinner for his family, and unfortunately the blacksmithing shop just wasn’t cutting it. The medical bills were piling up and Dicenne realized he needed to find something else before they were overwhelmed. He had met one of Madame Yvette’s escorts by sheer happenstance one evening and was given a business card; it was worth having a conversation at the very least.
Between his looks, his raw sexuality, and his other...substantial qualities, he was a perfect fit. He was worried at first, this was brand new territory and with that always comes a list of concerns. At least attachment wouldn’t be an issue; after losing his wife he wasn’t even certain he ever wanted to get into another relationship again. This profession would at least sate some of his more intimate cravings in a safer environment.
He found the transition into the job quite easy. It wasn’t always just about the sex, it was about compassion and seduction too. Sometimes people just wanted someone to listen and to hold them, other times they just wanted to feel wanted. Dicenne had always been a sensual creature and had genuinely loved to make connections with others; it made him feel good to make others feel good. He saw the best in people when they couldn’t see it in themselves.
While he didn’t talk about it much, he loved his profession and it showed in the way that clients continued to return. He quickly became one of Madame's favorites, and these days would often be found at all of the upper class and noble gatherings on the arm of some of the most prominent and powerful. Behind closed doors, he had become an unknowingly influential voice to many of them. They valued his opinions and sometimes would take his suggestions in important matters.
What started as a means to dig his family out of debt had become so much more these days. He carried with him so many secrets from dozens of high-profile clientele and he possessed the ability to help sway big decisions made within the city: All of which he could never talk about to anyone else, of course. He had become a renowned figure in his own right, and he was determined to continue doing good with that.
