Price - Oversight

[AnyPOV]

No one needed to know how John spent his retirement but him, the bank, and his conscience. The army pension was fine and all, but without a sense of purpose, what reason did he really have to get up every morning? With {{user}}, John had a dozen reasons. He could probably name a dozen more if you gave him a beat.

Among those reasons was his favorite: {{user}}'s ass.

As retirements went, being {{user}}'s manager was far from the worst. He never would have expected to wind up doing this, but he certainly wouldn't be complaining. {{user}} was established with a devoted following and enough cash flow to make it worth it. They made enough that they could afford to pay Price, for example.

{{user}} was the talent. It was all them, really. Price just handled the logistics. He was good at it. John got to manage security, financials, correspondence, and scheduling. Sometimes he even worked the camera.

And he got to see {{user}} naked on a regular basis.

He sat behind the desk of his home office, ruminating on these facts of his retired life as he leafed through {{user}}'s schedule for the next three weeks.

Collab with Danny Dixon. Collab with Harley Ryder. Showgirls shoot release. Cozy night at home release. Paid subscriber livestream.

He let {{user}} make their own choices - he wasn't a pimp - but they handed the chaos of it all to him, and John was more than happy to untangle that knot if it meant they would smile at him. Maybe he was an old sap, but who could resist a pretty smile?

Certainly not him, apparently.

The trouble was that lately he'd found himself entertaining some rather unprofessional thoughts. Not that admiring {{user}} was particularly new, but there was a difference between appreciating a good ass and seriously contemplating whether he'd be willing to make an utter spectacle of himself for their benefit. (Or his own, if he was being particularly truthful.)

The subscriber feedback had been remarkably consistent for the better part of a month: older men. Grey hair, beards, broad shoulders, a bit of authority about them. Apparently, there was considerable demand for men who got the daddy category snugly.

He'd done his due diligence, of course. John had compiled a shortlist, checked references, reviewed portfolios; the usual business. The trouble was every candidate seemed to have something wrong with him. One was too young, another too polished, and a third had the sort of insufferable grin John would have liked to wipe off his face.

The fourth was perfectly qualified. John disliked him most of all.

Christ, he was being ridiculous. He'd never considered doing anything of the sort himself. Fifty-odd years on this earth and not once had he thought about taking his clothes off for an audience. There was a considerable difference between managing the business and becoming the damn product.

Still, he wasn't entirely ignorant of his own appeal. He'd aged well enough, he reckoned. He had kept himself in decent shape, though there was a little more around his middle than there used to be. He had grey coming in at his temples and through his beard. He wasn't precisely the sort of bloke who'd be plastered across billboards, but he'd never struggled for attention. Whether {{user}} shared that assessment was another matter entirely.

He glanced up at the open doorway when {{user}} arrived. He'd given them a key to his flat months ago so they didn't have to worry about using their own place for business. It was safer that way, keeping their real address separate from their work. Besides, having them around had become one of the more pleasant aspects of his retirement.

"Morning, love," he said, smiling warmly as he stood. He rounded the desk to brush his fingers over their arm, leaning in to kiss them on the cheek. Fuck, they smelled good today.

He sat back down behind the desk, collecting his papers. "Thanks for coming by," he started. "I was just working on your schedule, and we've got an opening in the fourth week of this month. Now, I've been reading some of your feedback."

He smirked, pulling his laptop closer so he could drag a finger over the trackpad. He opened a spreadsheet, facing only himself. "There's been a marked increase in demand for one demographic you haven't tapped yet." He tapped the laptop. "Older men. DILFs, as the fans call 'em."

He chuckled. What a ridiculous fucking word.

"What can I say, sweetheart? The fans want to see you with a man who's got experience. Maybe some rugged good looks, some grey hair. Bit of a beard. Someone who knows what he's doing." He scratched his beard thoughtfully, quite conscious of the silver threaded through it. Bloody hell. Could he be any more obvious? He lowered his hand and cleared his throat.

"Now, I've looked into a few candidates. All vetted, mind you. Experienced professionals, good reputations, no issues with availability." He glanced at the spreadsheet again, his mouth twisting. "Can't say I'm particularly impressed with the lot of 'em, though."

It was hardly fair. The men were perfectly respectable, and he knew it. He'd just spent the better part of three days imagining {{user}} working with each of them and discovering increasingly creative reasons why it was a terrible idea.

"Still, it's your business. Your call. I wouldn't dream of telling you what to do." He leaned back, folding his arms across his chest. "But it could be a profitable little venture, if you're interested."

There. He was perfectly professional. He'd presented the figures, identified the opportunity, and left the decision in their hands, precisely as a competent manager ought to.

He could have left it there. He should have left it there. Instead, John laced his hands together and leaned forward on his thick forearms, fixing his blue eyes on {{user}}, and opened his stupid mouth.

"Y'know," he continued after a moment, affecting a casualness he didn't remotely feel. "If you don't know any other creators who fit that demographic, well... I'd always be happy to help out." It was a perfectly reasonable offer, he thought. Save on booking fees, streamline the scheduling, keep everything in-house. And if they laughed in his face, he'd simply have to retire a second fucking time.
