*******************************
The following week we practised making our outfits out of sheets, wrapping them around ourselves, tying the ends on our shoulders, using some gold rope as the sash, in preparation for the toga party at The Crucible with Margarite and Dietrich. Not having been around during Roman times, we had no idea what Romans would wear under them, so decided that, as it was a party in a bdsm dungeon, it was likely we would end up naked, so we decided to we would both be naked under the togas from the start.
"How's it feel?" I asked as I gave Hank a hug, pressing our toga-clad bodies against each other.
"Yeah, feels great," he smiled, his hands clutching at my ass cheeks as we kissed.
"Well, I must admit, that even though I like what the corset's doing to my body shape, it's great to be free of it for a while. I miss the body contact when wearing my armor."
"Sure, I know what you mean," he replied, moving his hands to my now quite small waist, even without a corset, tied with the gold rope. I felt his cock responding as he commented: "You feel much nicer to hold when it's just you."
"Pity we've got clients, otherwise we could have had a great session. It'll have to wait till later, I guess."
"It sort of feels strange just wearing a thin layer of loose fabric," commented Hank, "But I guess the Romans were used to it. No wonder it was such a free-loving society, according to what I've read anyway."
"Yes, it must have been fun back then. They probably wore something under them though. Maybe the party this weekend will turn into a Roman orgy. That'd be fun," I replied, unfastening the waist belt and knot and stepping out of the toga to shower.
After we'd showered, I fitted my corset, specifically requested by my client, and made up my hair and face before dressing in a sexy but restrained manner. Clients didn't usually want to advertise the fact that they were dining out with a prostitute. Hank also dressed but was much faster than me due to not having to apply make up or spend time stacking his hair up. We had a coffee then I headed out to meet my client while Hank waited for his.
I met my guy, Simon, as arranged at a café then he took me to a moderately priced restaurant where we had a passable meal, before he called a cab and we travelled to his apartment. It was tastefully furnished and as soon as the door was closed he took me in his arms, kissing me and fondling my body. I could feel that his cock was rising fast and needed to just slow him down or it'd all be over in a few minutes, which was fine by me, but not good for repeat business.
"How about we sit down and cuddle for a bit," I suggested, "At least get to know each other. After all, you have booked me for the night so it's not like I'm about to run away."
"Sorry," he replied as he led me to a sofa, "Would you like a drink? I have wine or you could have a hot drink, or even water if you like," he offered, seemingly anxious to please me.
I settled for water, feeling dry after the wine with dinner, then he sat beside me and stroked my thigh. He seemed a really nice guy, so I wondered what his story was; why hadn't he been claimed?
"So, do you have a female presence in your life?" I asked.
It was the wrong question; he immediately looked away sadly and was quiet for a few moments. Then he told me that he'd had no luck with women; he said the first couple of dates were fine, but then they seemed to just leave him and he didn't know why. He told me he had a good job, a reasonable amount of money, he thought he was reasonably handsome, was just an all-round nice guy and a catch for any lucky girl who wanted a good steady boyfriend or more.
"But it just never seems to work out," he finished, "And I don't know why."
"Tell you what," I suggested, "Why don't we start again, but this time I knock on your door and you pretend that I'm your girlfriend and act exactly as you would to your girlfriend."
"Ok," he agreed. I rose and let myself out of his apartment, waited about a minute to give him time to begin to wonder if I'd done a runner, then knocked on his door. He immediately opened it and he invited me in, then gave me a hug and a kiss and escorted me to the sofa I'd just recently vacated. So far, he'd said nothing, but I guessed that may be because he'd only seen me a few minutes earlier. Once we sat dawn, he moved right close to me and began hugging me and kissing me, fondling my breasts and running his hands all over me. If I had been his girlfriend, I'd have been out the door like a shot.
"Ok," I said after about a minute of this treatment, "Time out."
His face fell as he pulled away from me a little, his hands still on my breast and thigh.
"Can you talk?" I asked.
"Yes, why, yes of course I can talk."
"Then why don't you? You didn't greet me, tell me how pleased you were to see me, comment on my dress, or anything. You want sex; women want romance. No romance, no sex."
The look on his face was priceless; it was as though I'd revealed the greatest secret in the world; maybe I had. "Oh," he said, looking down to the floor and removing his hands from my body, "Can we start over again?"
"Sure," I replied, standing and leaving the room again.
He opened the door in reply to my knock. "Good evening, Celeste," he greeted me, "My, you look radiant tonight. I don't think I've seen your hair in that style before. Come in, darling. Can I fix you a drink?"
He escorted me to the sofa and before I sat, he embraced me briefly, his hands on my back, and we kissed. "I'll just have a water, thanks Simon," I replied as I sat down.
He fetched two waters, the same as we had before, and handed me one then sat at the far end of the three-seater sofa. "Here's to us," he toasted, offering his glass to me. We clinked glasses and I sipped my water. "So, how's today been?" he asked.
"Today's been great for me," I replied truthfully, "How about you?"
"Yeah, it's been fine. A few hassles at work. You've no idea how hard it is to get good staff these days. This woman I employed two days ago, she seemed to have so much potential but all she does all day ..."
I held up my hand in a stop signal. He stopped talking.
"Ok, what have you just done?"
He thought back over the past few things we'd said. "Oh, I got into details about problems I have at work. I guess that's a guy thing," he grinned, obviously embarrassed by being side-tracked so quickly and easily.
"Yes, it's a guy thing," I replied. "Your greeting was great, in fact everything was fine until you answered the question I asked and allowed that to lead you down another path. Your staffing difficulties are hardly romantic, I feel. But congratulations, you're obviously a fast learner, and thank you for noticing my hair style. When women talk they often just say things to fill gaps; I know when men talk they seem to need to become deep and meaningful. You simply need to be able to read the differences in what we say and when we say it; read the situational contexts. Let's continue. I'll ask the question again. How's your day been?"
"Yeah, it's been a good day."
"Pleased to hear it." I leant forwards and placed my hand on his arm. "You know, the more I see you the more I love you, darling."
I wondered how he'd respond to an overt 'come on' comment.
"Mmmm, yes, I love you too, sweetheart," he replied, reaching out to scoop me up in his arms and stifle me. Again, the time out signal. He slumped back.
