Chapter 171

• "I have no problem with four or five kids," I said. "We can discuss more once we know what we're getting into. But speaking about kids brings up another point. I'm selling part of my business to Jerry. You two want to run a bondage furniture business. If I'm going to add Julia and multiple children, I think we should run the bondage business like Brianna does. Mistress Dark takes what she takes for selling, and the supplies come out of the balance. I keep 50% of the profits for supporting two slaves and children. The remainder goes into investment accounts for you two. If, and I use the word with great regret, if something should happen to our happy relationship and it breaks down, you have the money set aside from the business to set yourself up. Lisa, you'd also have the money from the sale of your home, and Julia, you'd also get community property assets if we divorce, which could include our home. If we truly work on this, hopefully it will never happen, but we are doing something new for all three of us and I don't want to make assumptions as to how well it works. Would you agree?"
• "I don't see any problem with that arrangement, sir. It's prudent and financially sound," Julia said. "If you agree Lisa, circle it, else box it. What else, Lisa?"
• "I want everyone to know we consider ourselves a 'throuple', was it? Our parents and friends should all know we're doing this and establish ourselves as such."
