If you liked the cheesy romance of the film, I can only say that this story is different! My characters don't resemble either Julia Roberts or Richard Gere. Everyone is over eighteen, and I hope you are if you are going to read on.
My history.
My name, I think, is Kate. Let me explain. My white-trash parents called me Katherine, way back in my trailer-park beginnings. All my friends, from grade school on, have called me Kate. My working name uses the other end of Katherine β Trina.
I got the hell out of my stepfather's life, but only after he had fucked my brains out, and almost before I had grown tits. I was on the streets of Richmond, my nearest big city, in no time at all.
There, almost straight away, I met Rufous, black and beautiful. He told me he loved me, and I believed him. We did coke together, and we fucked. He taught me how to give pleasure β and head. Then, one night, when I woke up from a way-out trip, I found I was in total darkness. Casting around me in a panic, I could only touch rough timber β I was in a packing-case, being jolted around in a vehicle. How I survived the journey, I shall never know. It went on forever, and I was weak with hunger and thirst, and stiff like you've never known when the vehicle stopped, and I felt my box being lifted up, and slammed down. Then I was suddenly blinded by light as planks were ripped off one side. My legs would scarcely carry me as I was dragged out, and I sat shivering in a dimly-lit room with three other girls of about my age. Nobody spoke.
I felt better when we had been given a big sandwich and a can of soda, but then we were all led off, given skimpy clothes to wear, and put to work in a bar, where about twenty girls had to hustle the clients, who mainly seemed to be lorry-drivers, into parting with their money for a quick fuck in one of about ten bedrooms. It was bearable, and the other girls were a lot of fun, but one day everything changed. Three of us were told to go and see the boss, a big, greasy-haired gorilla of a man, who sat smoking a massive cigar. He gave us each an envelope containing airline tickets and a passport. When I looked at mine, it was in the name of Rosa Montes, but my likeness stared at me from the back page, a slim, black-haired, white-faced girl with big brown eyes. We were driven to Mexico City airport, and it was only then that I found out where, exactly, I had been working.
We were met at Madrid Barajas airport, by two men, who led us to a minivan with blacked-out windows. An hour later, we were delivered to another club β I learned that the Spanish call them
puticlubs β
much more luxurious than the one we had been in in Mexico. We were kitted out with several sexy outfits and put to work. The clientele was better, and we got to keep a little money out of what we could screw out of the men for drinks. The other girls seemed to spend it all on cigarettes, but that was one vice I had never succumbed to. I stashed mine away behind the toilet cistern.
One day, I put on my 'off-duty' jeans and tee-shirt, and simply walked out. A lift from a nice old farmer, whose Spanish I struggled to follow, and then a bus into the centre of Madrid, where I did my best to 'get lost.'
It was, however, hopeless to try and find real work, so there I was, selling my pussy on the Avenida Castellana β next pitch to my new best friend, a coal-black
dominicana
called Bea.
My story begins there.
It was getting cool in Madrid, as summer waned, and the nights stopped being quite so pleasant. The other girls who worked in my area tended to wear minute miniskirts or shorts which tried to disappear up their cracks, and had their tits hanging mostly out of low-cut tops. I tried to be different, and, for the night when my story begins, wore a skin-tight black satin skirt, knee-length, with a long zipper down one side, or I could never have gotten into it, and a black nylon blouse, buttoned up the back and completely transparent, so that my firm breasts β of which I was quite proud β were entirely visible. Under the skirt I wore black hold-ups, and stood into patent black pumps with very high heels. I slung a white imitation fur bolero jacket over my shoulders, brushed my long black hair, and looked at myself in the cracked mirror in a corner of the tiny room in the fourth floor walk-up I shared with three other girls. The desired effect of a fifties tart was to my liking.
Bea whistled when she saw me clipping up the street in my heels. 'I could fuck you myself, darling,' she said.
'You couldn't afford me,' I quipped back. She gave me the finger.
It must have been around midnight on the quietest night in living memory when a sleek black Lexus crawled past, drawing interest from all the girls, one of whom I saw lift her skirt, showing the driver her naked pussy as he drove by.
'He slowed down right by me,' called Bea.
'Yeah, sure,' I said. Almost as soon as I had said that, the car, which must have sped around the block, drew up right beside me. I stepped off the kerb, and walked up to the passenger side window, which slid smoothly down. I found myself looking at the surprisingly young face of a surprisingly handsome guy, with longer-than-fashionable dark blond hair, and strikingly pale blue eyes.
'Can I do anything for you?' I asked β my usual opening; we had to be careful about offering any service, until we knew we weren't talking to plain-clothes cops.
'You can come along with me, if you want,' he said, reaching across and pushing the door open for me.
I slipped into the soft leather seat, just making sure that my hand was only millimetres away from the sharpened steel tail-comb in my purse, that was my sole weapon. He started the car, and I saw, out of the corner of my eye, Bea making a note of his licence number β we did that for each other.
'Just what would you like me to do for you,
cariΓ±o?'
I asked, when we had turned out along the main thoroughfare. Clients normally settled for a quick knee-trembler in the back of the car, unless I got lucky and they had a nice warm hotel room, and I could take more money off them. I didn't go in for robbery, unlike some of the girls, who skipped around showing off the billfolds they had ripped off.
'Would you like to come home with me?' he said, so quietly I had to strain to hear him.
Have I gotten one of the wierdoes who wants to talk, I wondered? Or is this something sinister? Somebody with a car like this has to be loaded.
'Depends,' I replied.
'On what? I have the money, if that's what you are worried about. And I won't hurt you.'
'I charge for working
a domicilio,'
I said.
'That's OK. What's your name?'
'Trina.'
'Short for Caterina?'
'Katherine,' I corrected him.
Now clear of the bright lights, he drew smoothly to a halt, and turned on the interior light, turning to look at me closely.
'You are very attractive,' he said, 'and have a certain quality I appreciate.'
'Is this where you ask me what a girl like me is doing in a place likeβ¦β¦β¦.?'
'Ah, a sense of humour too!'
'I'll answer it anyway. I'm doing this because I need to.'
'And if I offer to change your life for you?'
'I'd say you've seen one film too many.'
'Please don't be cynical, Katherine. I'd like you to come to my home. Will you do that?'
I heard myself agreeing β you must be stark raving mad, Kate, I told myself β he could be a triple axe murderer for all you know. But what was so brilliant about my life that I couldn't do with a change. What the fuck?
As he drove, he said his name was Lars Azpetegui, his long-dead father had been a Basque businessman, and his mother, who was still alive, Swedish. Then he fell silent, concentrating on his driving, which was confident and rapid.
I luxuriated in the warmth of the lovely car, anyway, and was close to dozing off when he turned sharply into a driveway, bordered by trees, low lighting shining up into their branches.
We pulled up outside a pillared portico, and he walked around and opened the door for me β a novel experience. The tightness of my skirt made it hard to keep up with him as he strode up the three wide steps to the door of the house, which he opened with a key. He watched me walk in, letting me pass, and I could see he was fascinated by me. It seemed to have something to do with the tightness of my skirt, in which I was virtually hobbled, and could only take tiny steps.
It struck me as a little odd that lights were on in the house, but there was no sound coming from anywhere as he led me into a comfortable lounge, and slumped down in an easy chair. I remained standing.
'What would you like me to do?' I asked, remembering that he had so far not paid me anything at all β normally, the first thing I did on getting into a car was to make sure I got paid.
'Slip your jacket off, please, I'd like to look at you,' he said. I did just that, leaving it across the back of a chair. I was suddenly aware of my nakedness under the transparent blouse, and had to resist an impulse to cover my breasts with my hands.
'You have nice breasts,' he said, then, 'do you masturbate very often?'
I flushed, reluctant to admit that I often brought myself off when I got in from a late night session β my clients usually came in quick time, leaving me 'high and dry.'
He took my hesitance as a mute admission.
'Come here,' he said, and I walked up to where he sat. Deftly, he reached up to my waist, and unzipped my skirt, then tugged it down and off. I was left standing in just my hold-ups, pumps and the skimpy blouse.
'Sit down there!' he told me, indicating an easy chair identical to his own, placed opposite.
When I sat down, my legs tight together, my mindset was one of acute embarrassment. (So you thought whores can't be embarrassed, eh? β well, this one did.)
'Please masturbate slowly for me,' he said.
'I'd like you to pay me first,' I managed to say.
He pulled a billfold out from his breast pocket, took out β wonder of wonders β a five hundred euro bill, and put it on the coffee table in front of him, regarding me seriously as he did so.
