out. These three are friends of Marc’s. They take great pleasure in their work here.’
‘What’s going to happen?’ asked Heather.
Rob glanced over at them. ‘Would you all sit down on the floor by the door, please? And I’d be grateful if you didn’t chatter while we’re working. I know that Andrew, Oliver and Sebastian will appreciate having an audience, but I’d rather it was a silent one.’
‘That’s told us,’ muttered Natalie. Rob gave her a sharp warning glance before turning his attention back to the men, still standing naked in the middle of the room. ‘I’d like you to introduce yourselves now,’ he ordered them.
The first one stepped forward. Natalie thought that he was probably about forty. He was of average height, with dark brown hair and designer stubble. He looked a typical macho man, and she could imagine the way he’d behave at parties, grasping women’s elbows, certain they’d be very grateful to receive his manly attentions. ‘I’m Andrew,’ he said, his voice aggressive. ‘I’m managing director for a sales-and-marketing company and the only thing I really dislike is being called Andy.’
The second man stepped forward. He was an entirely different type. Tall, probably a little over six foot, he was quite slim but raw-boned and his light brown hair was tousled and curly, swept back off his face. He looked to be in his mid-thirties and what made him stand out were his large brown eyes, which were quite soft-looking and fringed with extraordinarily long, thick lashes. ‘I’m Oliver, I run my own distribution company and there’s nothing I particularly dislike, except women who try to take control in bed.’
‘By that I take it that you think you always know best,’ commented Rob.
Oliver seemed surprised by the question. ‘I think I know how to please a woman.’
‘You don’t think that women might know their own bodies better than you do?’
Oliver smiled. It was a charming smile. ‘They might
think
that they do. But I know that if they gave me a chance to show them what I could do, they’d change their minds.’
‘I can understand why you’re here, then,’ remarked Rob. ‘Next.’
The third man stepped forward. He was about the same age and height as Oliver, but more heavily built. ‘My name’s Sebastian. I’m a company director in the City and I’m here because women tell me I’m too aggressive in bed.’
‘Do you think they’ve got a fair point?’ asked Rob, with interest.
‘Not really, no. I think most women would like to turn the clock back, but they think it’s politically incorrect so they make token objections.’
‘I see. You think they’d like to return to the caveman days, do you?’
‘Not exactly,’ protested Sebastian. ‘I’m not suggesting I should hit them over the head and drag them back to my cave. It’s just that men are meant to dominate. That’s what nature intended.’
‘Fine,’ said Rob pleasantly. ‘Well, now, all three of you have chosen to come on this course because, however strongly you believe your approach to women is right, experience has shown you that you’re not forming successful relationships because of a perceived “failure” on your part by the women. You’ve chosen to come here and learn to change. This is the first visit for all of you, and no doubt already you’re finding it rather strange. However, this is the most intensive of your lessons so far and I shall be interested to see how you respond.
‘I think it says something about our society today that all of you have positions of power in your work, and so – like many of the women on our course – you continue to use the same attitudes that you use at work when you climb into bed with a partner. What you have to realise is that you don’t have to be in control all the time.’
‘I’m beginning to think it was a mistake to come on this course,’ said Sebastian.
Rob looked questioningly at him. ‘Why?’
