Belle tells us she is educated and expensive and that she attracts a high class of clientele. We meet one such client, Mitchell, a very rich American film producer. He tells Belle he thinks she has what it takes to be a ‘courtesan’ – a very high class prostitute. Mitchell introduces Belle to an elite band of international courtesans who each have a very small number of clientele. They interview Belle rigorously and Belle is delighted when they accept her as one of their number. Belle is also thrilled to be able to tell Stephanie that she will now no longer require her managerial services. Mitchell is Belle’s first client as a courtesan and Belle is bowled over when he bequeaths her his extraordinary penthouse apartment. But Belle discovers that being a courtesan is like being a very highly paid wife – she has to be wherever the clients wants her to be and wait around for them for long periods of time. This comes to head when she finds herself bored and alone in a cottage in Scotland hanging around for Mitchell to finish filming. Where has the independent, in-control Belle gone? She returns to London and leaves Mitchell’s swanky apartment for her own more modest one. She tells Ben that she liked her life the way it was – lots of clients, who she saw when she wanted to. Ben says he will help her set up as an independent escort, working entirely for herself, and even offers to be her ‘security’.

He has some changes happening in his own life which may offer a change of perspective…

Belle’s been booked by a couple for a foursome and Ben suggests he be her professional partner this one time. Belle is shocked – not only was he appalled by what she does for a living up until very recently, but what makes him think it is that easy to turn professional escort over night? Does he think she just opens her legs and moans? Ben begs her to give him a chance – he puts himself through Belle’s ‘interview’ test and finally she agrees to give him a go. Ben prepares for the big night and undergoes all the necessary preening and pampering. The couple, Liam and Kate, arrive giggly and nervous. Then the fun begins: Belle with Kate; Ben with Kate; Belle with Liam – then Kate and Liam find one another and start to make love all on their own. Belle and Ben find themselves in an awkward tryst. Ben is desperate to cross the line with Belle, but will Belle take control of the situation? Kate and Liam are thrilled with how the evening went and thank Belle and Ben for reinvigorating their sex life.

Belle is seamlessly charming, but Ben is struggling. Alone once more Ben confides to Belle that he found the whole thing disconcerting and acknowledges that there is a lot more to what she does than he thought there was. He is struck by her ability to detach herself emotionally – he clearly hasn’t. Alone with us Belle confides that sex with more than one person is a doddle for her – its one to one she can’t handle.

While buying a wedding present for Ben and Vanessa belle meets a cute guy working in the shop. They have a one night stand. The following morning, Belle doesn’t know what to do with herself.

Shopping for his wedding suit with Belle, Ben is still reeling from her recent revelation. Hurt that she never told him, confused by what it means, there’s a frostiness between them.

Belle explains that she’s got a threesome booking that day – Ashok, her regular client has decided he wants two girls this time. Belle’s a little nervous. It’s not that she doesn’t like having sex with women, it’s just that she doesn’t get on that brilliantly with them. She meets Naomi, an older, much more experienced escort who takes her in hand. Together they prepare for the appointment – sharing lipsticks and checking out each others’ sex toys. Belle starts to enjoy herself and begins to think this ‘girly’ thing could be quite fun after all. And the sex is great – the girls help each other out, have a laugh and Ashok is in heaven. When they finish and Naomi suggests hanging out, the girls go to the sex clinic together, share client stories and Belle begins to start understanding friendships with girls.

So when Ashok chooses the new girl over her Belle is devastated. Dumped by a favourite client, shafted by her new ‘girlfriend’ she doesn’t know where to turn. Feeling very low, she calls Ben who agrees to come round. He says he’s finding it tough, but he’s going to try and be a grown up and deal with the revelation.
