"Oh..."
I deflated somewhat at that, unaware that my antics could have gotten that Aviankin fired for simply wanting to have some fun; Miss Hertanc, however, found that incredibly amusing as she sat back down and said "'Oh' is right, Miss Astra. The sex was entirely for her benefit and not mine; she paid more than she should have and cut into my profits."
Miss Hertanc's eyes sparkled as she stared at me with a grin, the refined Horsekin now showing more of what I expected from the third in line to a wealthy Noble Family; that arrogant demeanor as she looked down at me...
It was so fucking titillating coming from her, the Noble's handsome face, toned body and aura all mixing together to create one hell of a futanari, especially for someone as submissive as myself; it was just my nature, apparently, to be far more inclined to be below someone rather than above them when it came to sex, and the Horsekin had apparently figured that out.
"She should have paid 3 and a half for the rings, and yet she didn't. Apparently your breasts felt just that good wrapped around her penis, Miss Astra, and then to top it off she admitted to bending you over her desk and ramming said penis into your pussy until she came. Quite the seductress, aren't you?"
Her grin remained, and I fiddled with the lid of the box as I blushed slightly beneath my veil, enjoying how this was playing out while also anticipating more, though Miss Hertanc was playing her cards to the best of her ability to keep everything balanced for her, and that meant bringing everything back around to business right this second while I was flustered.
"So then, this box here... I can do... 5 Gold for the 10 silver rings, 30 Gold for the 10 gold rings, and then 45 Gold for those gemstone rings for a total of 80 Gold. And no, Miss Astra, I won't accept sexual favors for a 'worse' price on my end. I am rather set in those purchasing prices. Unless, of course, you can tell me why they are worth far more than that?"
The switch back to business was sudden, but it didn't get me as off guard as she likely was hoping for, so I stared at the glasses wearing Horsekin and nodded, thinking it over before saying "I would like to know, Miss Hertanc, what your answer is to the idea of taking me on as a supplier? Will you help me help you?"
"Help you... to help me? I'm assuming you want materials, displays, and then connections to any potential high end customers?"
I just gave her a nod, and that made her chuckle once more as she sank back into the velvet cushions, enjoying this negotiation and watching me closely, making it impossible for me to try and use my sex appeal to distract her without making a fool of myself.
"Alright. I'll draw up a single month contract to test the waters then. You'll receive a single shipment of materials, be given a display in this store and in the other, lower class store, and anyone that asks for you personally shall be redirected to you."
Reviewing all of that mentally, I was nodding again only to freeze as she added "All of that for a 70-30 split should be fair. You get the 30, of course.", her grin widening as she watched me closely, clearly enjoying this far too much.
"T-That's-!"
"Far more than fair, Miss Astra. The materials? Display inside of THIS store? Do you know how much some of the other contracted partners pay ME to get a good display? All of this is free, and all I want from you is to sell me these rings for 80 Gold and accept 30% of all sales in this upcoming month. I'm being quite generous~!"
Her amusement continued to grow before she smirked at me knowingly, the Horsekin shuffling around on the seat as she parted her legs before saying "Of course, I think I might be convinced to be a bit more generous... all I would need to move from 70 to 65 is a spattering of blowjobs whenever you come in, or we can go all~ the way down to 60 if you take that dress off real~ slow for me..."
The desire in her voice had become charged with lust, and I could see a gigantic bulge forming along one of her pants legs as she got erect, making me salivate before I bit my cheek and thought it over again, wondering what I should do.
"All I'm asking for, Miss Astra, is for you to come over here and show your wealthy business partner some gratitude for offering you 40% of the profits~! You just need to slowly~ peel that dress off, dance for me, and then take all~ of me until I'm empty... After that, you just need to service me with your tongue a few times this month~! Simple, really..."
Adjusting her glasses a little, Miss Hertanc then shrugged and added "Or you could accept 30% and turn around, leave, and enjoy all of this for 'free'. And then there's the least desirable option of declining. But let me just remind you, Miss Astra, that I am the owner of one of the best jewelry stores in the city. Where else are you going to get a deal like this~?"
Her confidence was seeping into me and making it harder to refuse, my own desires slowly beginning to win out as I felt the need to strip and straddle her lap, but...
Taking in my indecisiveness, Miss Hertanc laughed as she raked a hand through her silky black hair, getting it away from her face as she said "Your lover - the Duchess - needn't know, and then there is something else I can offer to even the shares here. My two older sisters are a bit of a pain sometimes, so knocking them down a peg... well..."
Leaving it at that, the Horsekin stared straight at me and drank in my silence for a few moments more before asking "Well, what will it be, Miss Astra? Time is ticking, and you know that old saying... time is money, and you can never have enough money."
