Why this must be read: On top of Diaphenia's trademark humor and warm characterizations, this features Darcy becoming an accidental, yes, pornographer by virtue of his having bought the company that had Lydia's video. Romance and hijinks of course ensue, as well as some spectacular parody titles, awkward!Darcy moments galore, and porn offerings for your every preference.
Lydia dried things off lazily with a kitchen towel. She glanced off to the living room, presumably checking for parents, and continued in a low voice. “Just make sure those are willing people in those videos you’re selling now.”
“I’m not personally selling anything,” he said, dipping in a teacup. “It’s merely an acquisition.”
“Oh god. Boring. Boring boring boring. I don’t care what your accounting books say, you own the company, yes or no?”
“Yes,” he said, still wishing he could add a coda.
“Then it’s your job to make sure no one is, like, going through what I did. Or coming to America and being sex-trafficked into porn. I’ve been doing a lot of research, and it’s this huge thing that nobody talks about.”
“I’m certain someone is making sure-”
“You,” she said. “You wanted to fly in here and be a hero, right, Darce? I get it, you wanted to help Lizzie.” She looked over his shoulder, avoiding his eyes.
“And you.”
She rolled her eyes and sighed loudly at him. “Which is fine. You’re hot for my sister, we all get it. Mom’s already got the wedding planned. I hope you like country-themed wedding bands.”
“I’m really don’t prefer- wait, are you being facetious?”
“Maybe. Regardless. You wanted to be the hero for Lizzie, but now you have an opportunity to be one for a bunch of people.”
Darcy stilled, contemplating. If this company had been willing to put out Lydia’s tape, done
without her consent, it did call into question what other things they were putting out for sale. There could be others...and probably were. Suddenly, he thought of a room of Lydias, all wondering why he hadn’t done more.
“I’ll look into it,” he said suddenly, sure he could no longer in good conscience sell off the company.
“I have some ideas I think you’re going to want to use. Things I’ve been thinking about; ideas to make sure no one’s in porn who doesn’t want to be,” Lydia said. “I think porn’s cool if you wanna be in porn. We have to make sure that’s what’s happening. Consent.”
“We, nothing.”
She ignored him. “I’ll call you later. Don’t worry, I already got your number from Lizzie.”
“She gave you my number?”
“I took it from her phone,” Lydia said, putting the last dish in the counter rack. “Now, speaking of Lizzie, shouldn’t you go get her out of here?” She snapped the dish cloth at him. It was like being back in boarding school. “And Darce?”
“Yes, Lydia?”
“Lizzie would never tell you this, but she’s totally ticklish.” She shot him a wicked grin. “Have fun!”
