The next day, the Monday after Daddy had gone home to help his sister, Maggie arrived at E&M at 6 p.m., two hours earlier than the 8 o'clock start of the first of her proposed added sessions to "work through" her extensive wait list. Eli was having a cup of his excellent coffee and said, "Maggie, sugah, you early. Whazup?"
"Nothing," she responded, "other than I'm bored."
"Well, baby girl, I've got some news for you. I done made what you call an executive decision."
Wrinkling her brow, she asked, "About what."
Giving her his perpetual cocky grin, he answered, "About protectin' you, baby girl. Now, way I see, you are the most important thing around here, cuz without you functioning at 100%, there ain' no "here" here. Ya feel me?"
"Yeah, but what are you worried about?"
"You wearing yourself out, fo' one. Fo' another, you not viewing this as a thrill anymore. It feel good to scratch an itch, but if you scratch too hard, you bleed and get infected. So, working too hard at this here could make you really not want to do it anymore. That would ruin the whole operation. Now, you can quit any time you want, but I thought you wanted to go on fo' awhile. Is that right?"
She paused a moment and said, "Yes. This is a thrill. But I guess you're right. I have been having second thoughts about this new arrangement all day. I didn't call because I thought you'd already made promises to these men and I didn't want to make things bad for you."
With surprising vehemence, he exclaimed, "Fuck 'these men' and fuck me lookin' bad. If these muthafuckas want to make trouble, I got somethin' fo' they ass right now. Baby girl, don' you ever, and I mean EVER worry about anything but what be the best for YOU. Ya feel me?"
Reaching to place a calming hand on top of his, with both a soft look and a quiet steady voice she said, "Oh Eli, don't get upset. So far you've known exactly what to do and I trust you all the way."
Calming slightly at her touch, he said, "That's what I know, sugah, and THAT'S what really got me upset. You only agreed to expand yo' work hours so much cuz I made you think we needed to. That was my fuck up and I really pissed at myself. Well, ole Eli don' never fuck up twice in the same way, so don' you worry yo' fine white ass no more."
Unconscious of the fact, she smiled her special smile for him and said, "Now tell me what you've decided."
With an abrupt single nod of his head to emphasize the firmness of his decision, he said, "To follow yo' advice and raise your rates. We goin' to $120 a head up from $80. That way only the ones that want it the most will get it and the others jus' gotta look fo' somethin' else. If they starts runnin' they mouth, it won't be the first jaws I done broke. That ought to whittle down that wait list and bump some of the ones that have already booked. We jus' have to see. I don' want you workin' regular-like mo' than you already doin'; jus' the two sessions every Saturday. Though some special sessions need to be done occasional, like for our distributors of yo' movie. And, we gonna do the movie different."
That really raised her curiosity. "How so?"
"Well, we gonna put a mask on you, fo' one. That way it less likely yo' man find out, though he probably recognize you if he saw it. But it make it a whole lot less likely some mouthy muthafucka recognize you and go to the trouble of tellin' him. Probably a good idea to have men wear masks too."
"But I thought they weren't going to know they were being filmed?"
"Well that why this here new plan so much better. We gonna have a three man camera crew with real movie cameras filming so it be a much better show. And we git Jim-Buck, Junba, and Tee to be in it with you. That's the only way they can afford you now, and they jumped at the chance when I talked to 'em last night. So, you do two special sessions; first with Jim-Buck and them, and after yo' break, with the camera crew fo' free. Only one we got to pay is the nigga that take the film from the camera and do the cuttin' to make it a regular movie. They call it a 'final cut'. He think he a artist. I don' know about that, but he fo' sure a faggot and don' want no pussy, not even yo' primo white ass. He do the job fo' $300.
"Then all we got to do is make the copies so they ready when the distributors git here. They watch the movie, git all horny, you give them they session and they take back they copies right then and there. Then, all we gotta do is wait for 'em to call me with another order.
"So, even if the customers drop off cuz of the rate hike, we don' really need 'em. You can git the fun you need making the movies. Knowin' jus' how good you is, I be sure the performin' and filimin' crew be real happy to repeat the process."
Her eyes beaming confidence, she said, "That sounds, like a lot better idea, Eli."
"Yeah, sugah. It jus' like writing a book or somethin'. The first plan was jus' a rough draft. This here be a second draft. Maybe the final draft. If it work, we jus' change a few things up fo' other movies. This be a lot mo' money with a lot less work. And that's the way bidnez supposed to work. Ya feel me?"
"Oh, Eli, you're a genius."
"Not a genius, exactly, jus' real smart and God damn serious about protectin' you, baby doll."
"Well," she said with a voice grown suddenly hoarse, "looks like I'm free tonight. You want some of your favorite pussy?"
With a hungry look he said, "Baby girl, you done read my mind."
She said, "I'm full of energy, so you get the full treatment tonight. I'll go get ready."
She pranced off toward the master bedroom, entered and closed the door behind her. Once inside, she stripped naked, went into the bathroom and began running a warm bath into which she poured a generous portion of bath salts. When the tub was full enough, she put her hair up in a bun, eased herself into the water and laid back for a few minutes, adjusting to the temperature. She lay there soaking for about 8 minutes and then called out, "Eli. Come in here, please."
He entered, ran his eyes up and down her submerged body and asked, "What you need baby girl?"
Giving him her sexiest smile she asked, "Would you like to bath me, baby?"
Licking his lips involuntary, always a sign of his rising lust, he said, "Yes indeedy do. Why don' you tell ole Eli jus' exactly what you want him to do, sweet thing."
She raised her right leg, wiggled her toes at him and purred, "Start with my feet. You love my feet don't you. You think they're beautiful, don't you?"
As a matter of fact, everybody thought Maggie's feet were beautiful and she took extreme pains to keep them that way. Already perfectly formed, she soaked them every day in special salts, and massaged them with moisturizing lotion so that they were as soft as they were well proportioned. She trimed the nails every Friday and polished them with a clear, protective varnish so that they seemed to naturally gleam. She never risked danger to them by going barefoot, except in a limited fashion around the house, and always wore very comfortable soft leather high heel sandals with cushioned soles and firm straps that never formed blisters. Her feet would have been the envy of every matron of ancient Rome.
Eli, took the extended foot gently into his hands as if it were something precious, which he indeed believed it to be, lowered it back into the water and caressed every toe thoroughly with concentrated but light pressure. Maggie laid back in the warm water and closed her eyes. She sighed a breathy, "Emmm," and whispered, "oh baby, that feels sooo good."
Eli progressed in this to her other foot, and up her long shapely legs, obtaining continuous sighs of pleasure from Maggie. As he finished the underwater massage of her left thigh, he paused and looked a question to her. Lazily opening her now hazel flecked large blue eyes, she murmured, "Make sure that my pussy is sweet and clean. You want it sweet and clean, don't you baby? Do you want my pussy to be delicious?"
