The Pendants: Chapter 5

When Patricia entered the meeting room, holding the box, she was struck by how… Dowdy everyone looked.

Oh, there was Madylan Chen, who could look good, what with her cute China Doll face and night-black hair. Sure she was a little slimmer than most guys were, but she was only in her late twenties, and if she’d get the stick out of her ass she could be a real prize.

And maybe get something else in her ass. Patricia bit her lip at the image.

Then there was Carolyn and Tina, the blond and brunette looking like book-ends even if they came from the opposite ends of the nation. All in all there were 12 senior professors here, actually most of the professors, period, given the decline of the school. That was another problem since they needed more people to offer a wide range of classes.

Well, maybe this will work!

“Patricia?” Madylan asked, staring at her, her eyes wide. “What happened to you?”

“What?” Patricia blinked. “What do you mean? I just decided to wear some more flattering clothes.”

“Really? What were you wearing normally, a breast binder?” Julia asked, the Latina staring at Patricia’s chest through her thick glasses.

“Hah!” Patricia laughed, and people looked at her strangely. Yeah, she hadn’t laughed that much before. Well, it wasn’t like she had much to laugh about, being a totally frigid bitch. But now she had a lot more to smile about. The college was gonna make money, and of course, she wasn’t going to be a totally frigid bitch anymore.

Also, she had nice, big tits, and that was really neat.

“Like, no,” she said, watching as the teachers all blinked at her words. “I just had a growth spurt!” She giggled. “And… I got the money for the college!”

“What?” She didn’t know who said it first, but suddenly everyone was looking at her.

“You’re kidding,” Tina said. “I thought that bouncing bimbo was just here to tell us no.”

“Nope!” Patricia said. “It turns out that they’re entirely willing to fund us, more money than I was even expecting!”

Given that she’d expected zero, that wasn’t a hard thing to say.

“So, what are the strings?” Madylan asked. She made a gesture, taking in the entire college beyond the walls of the conference room. “Why are they giving us money.”

“Because they think this college has a chance!” Patricia said, bouncing in her chair and enjoying the way her tits bounced along with it. The others seemed focused on her tits.

Well, why not? They were now the best tits in the room.

“Really?” Cho asked. Cho was a little bigger than Madylan, a professional bob of black hair framing a cute little face.

Patricia suddenly had an image of Cho, looking up, that cute face anointed with spatters of cum from the guys who were using her at a party.

A little thrill of warmth flared between her legs, but she swallowed once. Not right now. Everyone here was totally boring and not at all likely to be on board for that, and if she pissed them off, they might dump the agreement.

And if they dumped the agreement…

Nanci might have to take her pendant back!

Patricia’s hand made an abortive twitch up to her neck, where that wonderful, cool band fit so wonderfully around her neck.

Nope. She’d have to convince them.

She fingered the gem and noticed a few eyes glancing her way, caught by the way the gem reflected the light.

A couple looked away, blushing, but some, Cho, Julia, and a couple of others stayed staring at it as if something was drawing their eyes to it.

“So, um…” She smiled. “See, the thing is, the investors aren’t just investing in colleges.”

Everyone was silent.

“They’re also doing jewelry,” Patricia said. “And, um, like, one request they have, and it’s a pretty important request, is that we wear their jewelry.” She ran her fingers along the cool metal band. “You know, so that they can use this investment to also show off their jewelry.”

Everyone was silent for a moment. Then, the room exploded.

“I’m not a fucking model!”

“Really? This is what they want?”

“What’s next, they want us to do a fashion show?”

Patricia didn’t say a thing, although she did enjoy a brief vision of how fucking fun it would be to be in a fashion show, strutting around. Maybe without any clothes on—no, with some clothes on, just enough to make everyone want to take them off!

“Patricia? Patricia!”

“What?” she snapped. They’d interrupted such a wonderful image just when the big hunky guy was letting her get down on her knees in front of him…

“Did you agree to this?” Madylan asked. “This is…utterly ridiculous! You can’t expect us to wear these things like a bunch of giggling cheerleaders!”

Yep, she definitely had a stick up her ass right now. But why had she brought up cheerleaders…

“No!” Patricia said. “Look, it’s not a big deal, but think of it. For one thing, everyone knows that this college is out of the way. Not a party college.”

Fucking terrible. I’ll have to do something about it.

“Look,” she said and reached down and held up a pendant, this one with a golden setting. “These aren’t a big deal…” She let the light catch the gem. “They’re pretty, and they are all that we’re being asked to wear… around our necks…” The women were falling silent. Cho had opened her mouth, but now it was closed, the Asian staring at the way the gem was sending the light back in a shower of rays.

Pretty light.

Pretty gem.

Everyone was looking at the pretty light.

Patricia smiled. “Um, see, it’s like this. They want us to show off the jewelry and then the college will be saved. Is that too much? I mean, so we look pretty, don’t you want to look pretty?”

Julie murmured. “Pretty.”

“I know, and think how much people will like to look at these pretty lights!”

“I… I guess it isn’t too bad of an idea,” Cho said. She reached out her hands, not seeming to notice the little eager twitches in her fingers. “I’ll put it on.”

“Goodie!” Patricia said. The others were standing up, walking to the front as Cho took the jewelry out of Patricia’s hands. They reached down, picked up the packages, and opened them, staring at the revealed jewelry. They weren’t all the same as Patricia’s. Julie held a golden necklace, three emeralds set into a triangle before she licked her lips and put it on.

And soon, everyone in the room was wearing their jewelry.

Patricia licked her lips.

Fuck. They look so hot.

But now it was time to go see Nanci and tell her that she’d finished the deal.
