Chapter 2

  • Kelly was hungry, but she hardly noticed it anymore. She couldn’t remember a time when she wasn’t hungry. This was it. After this, she was never doing this again. Camming was supposed to be an easy way for girls to make money. Kelly was cute, lacking in the breast department, but she was slim and considered fairly attractive. Yet somehow, she had only made thirteen dollars and forty-eight cents in four hours. She would do better picking up shifts at a bar. She was already working herself to death; a full course load, a job at the coffee shop, and a job in the library didn’t leave her with very many spare hours to get a third job. After tuition and rent and books and her computer, she didn’t have much left to live on. Anything. She didn’t have anything left.
  • Not even her pride at this point. She had resorted to camming because she could fit in an hour or two a week, didn’t have to leave her home, and it seemed safer than stripping. Plus, she couldn’t dance. It was supposed to be easy money. She didn’t need much, she just wanted to be able to eat every day, even if it was the cheapest food possible.
  • Seemed she couldn’t cam either.
  • So, after this stream, she was done. Only 3 people were watching anyway, men and none of them were chipping in. She should probably just call it now.
  • *Ching*
  • The strange noise got her attention. She glanced at the stream details and had to keep her eyes from bugging out of her head. Fifty Dollars? Someone tipped FIFTY DOLLARS! Sucking her lip between her teeth, she held back tears of joy. Fifty dollars meant she could buy enough food to last her through the month, maybe even into the next. A mental list and a running tab started in her head: a 24-case of ramen for 15$, 2 jars of peanut butter for 2.50 each- No, she had to focus, she was still streaming.
  • Her eyes flicked to the list of viewers. BigDicDav3, no. MrGuy3827332, no. NathRoth…
  • It was him, whoever he was. She would have to investigate after the stream was over. She didn’t have enough experience to check out his profile while also… while… Kelly didn’t know what to call it. Was it still masturbation if you were doing it on camera for other people?
  • She finished the stream, still not quite getting the timing right, too nervous, and not quite able to get turned on for a keyboard. She knew she was supposed to stretch it out and tease more to get more tips, but it seemed like she would need more practice. At least she didn’t have to worry about food for the next few months.
  • 237.75$
  • Two hundred and thirty-seven dollars. After the initial fifty, he had tipped in five and ten-dollar increments, and she tried to keep doing the things he seemed to like. After a small orgasm that she played up a bit, it had been unsatisfying because she couldn’t relax, he put in a final hundred as she ended the show. Kelly hadn’t had that much money in her bank account after paying for rent since… well, she couldn’t remember a time she had that kind of money.
  • She had to make this last, there was no telling when or if she would ever get another viewer like that. Speaking of- She clicked on his profile, grateful she had chosen the Lady Lust website to attempt camming. It had a lot of features that kept female performers safe, such as profiles on the viewers, with stats and information the performers could use to decide if they wanted a certain viewer to have access. She could see all kinds of information about his on-site behavior.
  • NathRoth, and he had a little gold star next to his name. When she clicked on it, a popup appeared showing that he was a gold-level member, which meant he tipped on an average of 200 a month. Kelly blinked. He had blown his monthly budget on her. It was only the 7th. She shrugged, deciding it was none of her business how he spent his money, she was just glad she had his money now. She wouldn’t waste it.
  • Clicking around his profile she found a few more stats about how long he had been a member, how active he was (it looked like he wasn’t active all the time, which made the math on the averages make more sense), and the part that interested her- he didn’t have any warnings, strikes, or blocks.
  • One of Kelly’s favorite features was the way performers could rate viewers’ behavior, like how uber drivers could rate their passengers, but… for sex videos. If Kelly ever blocked someone, not only would they be unable to see or attend her shows, but if they tried to go to her profile page it would say the user (her) had been deleted. It was intended to protect the performer, so the viewer didn’t know they had been blocked and attempted retaliation or harassment. Warnings and strikes were a site-level punishment, if a viewer had too many, they would be unable to send chat messages or have a time out from the website. If the behavior continued their IP address would be permanently banned. Kelly didn’t know of any other porn site that protected their performers that way.
  • It wasn’t until the next day that she realized he had sent her a message. Her teeth gritted and she squinted her eyes, trying to spare herself if it was a dick pic. It wasn’t.
  • *Hello. You are beautiful but improving your stream quality would benefit you. You should make a wishlist and add this webcam and ring light, and anything else you want or need for streams. It helps engagement if you use something a viewer bought. Make sure you click the option to hide your address.*
  • There was a link to the webcam and ring light, as well as another fifty-dollar tip.
  • Suddenly it made sense. He must be another performer; it was the only thing that made sense. She smiled, followed his advice, and happily planned her grocery trip. Kelly thought she had it all figured out.
  • Her mind shifted to more important things. How much is a sack of potatoes lately?
  • Until she didn’t have it figured out. If he was just another performer who was trying to help out a newbie, why did he keep coming back?
  • *Can you turn over?*
  • 5$
  • If he was a performer, why did he have a user account?
  • *Open your mouth just a bit?*
  • 10$
  • If he was a performer, how could he afford to drop five or six hundred dollars on her each week?
  • *We can’t hear you, tip back towards the camera*
  • 10$
  • He had found her wishlist within a day of her posting it, and 3 days later a package arrived.
  • *Your new camera and lighting are much better. You look beautiful.*
  • 50$
  • He gave her money just for existing it seemed. He tipped her every time he commented, even if it wasn’t an instruction or request.
  • *The black lace suits you*
  • 5$
  • *Did you paint your nails? It looks nice*
  • 5$
  • *I like the clip in your hair.*
  • 5$
  • Then there were the little gifts, most of them nonsexual.
  • One day he noticed the books on her nightstand. Yeah, thanks to him, not only could she afford food and a little nest egg in case he vanished, but she also bought a nightstand. It was second-hand from the thrift store, but still... Kelly was getting fancy thanks to him spoiling her.
  • *If you like that book, you might like Junipers of Grace*
