I sipped my martini slowly, peering over the glass's rim at the short balding man who was admiring my nipples; which were peaked by the wispy soft caress of my silk gown. My mahogany body was draped in designer black; backless of course; Italian stilettos, a diamond necklace and nothing else. Shorty's eyes turned away when they move up to meet mine.
Oh yes, the wolves were out tonight flashing white fangs as they plied me with slick pick up lines and come hither looks. One director's wife slowly licked her lips and blew me a kiss, but she wouldn't be munching my carpet, if I had one that is. I'm not vain, just a bit flirty. I will admit that I'm over thirty, but I not tell you how much over. The one hundred and fifteen pounds making up my five foot four body are tight as a Marine's bunk on inspection day, thanks a former Drill Instructor turned personal trainer; and their still a brute I might add.
I stuck a pose exposing a generous amount of leg from the slit of my gown while I fingered the sparkling ice clasped around my neck. I was looking for my escort; Edward. A good friend in his mid-forties, confirmed bachelor who plays both ways I think, but he would deny it. He does love to make an entrance with gorgeous women on his arm, tonight it was me. Ed's a movie producer, he does mostly slasher horror, and soft-core skin flicks for cable, but he has wonderful connections that are how he made the list for this party.
I felt a hand slide over my back; instinctively I pulled away but the strong arm held me firmly in place.
"Where you trying to run off to beautiful?" a familiar voice asked.
The voice was Jim, unrepentant backstabbing coworker of Ed's. He smiled down at me, tall, dark, handsome, successful, very straight, and oh yeah married. He looked splendid in his tux as he flashed his million dollar smile.
"Jim, you startled me you big beast," I said.
"I'm sorry darling, I never took you for the jumpy type Diana," He laughed.
"I guess you just caught me off guard. Where's Emily tonight?" I asked innocently.
"Oh, I don't know?" He responded.
His voice changed but his store bought smile never did; I knew Jim and his wife were separated again! Ed is such a gossip, he told me Emily found out about Jim and some little bimbo production assistant a month ago.
"You mean she won't be joining us tonight?" I questioned so sweet and innocently.
"You didn't know we're separated for now? She won't be coming tonight," Jim said.
And the Oscar goes to..."Oh I'm so sorry hear that." I said; keeping a straight face.
As I patted him on the arm sympathetically I slipped from his grasp.
Not coming here tonight maybe, but I bet she's cumming tonight. Ed learned that our little Emmy was starching her sheets with a hot young neighbor at the Condo she was leasing. How Ed finds these things out I have always wondered.
A young blonde wearing golden satin and a nice long string of pearls appeared at Jims' side.
"Hello...Sue Peters," she said smiling sweetly and offering her hand to me.
"Diana, Are you Jim's date for the night dear?" I inquired.
"I guess you could say that," Sue answered blushing and giggling from watching Jim's reaction.
"Are you ladies thirsty? Let's head over to the bar." Jim interrupted.
Oh no you don't Jimbo; you are not blocking my fun. This should be entertaining, I thought to myself.
Thinking quickly I said. "Oh yes, please James, be a sweetheart and fetch us something while I get to know Sue better."
Jim balked, then reluctantly left muttering, leaving me free to pick the brain of his little chippie.
Turns out there wasn't much to pick. She was twenty-four, grew up in Malibu, her dad was a Studio VP; she graduated from UCLA Cheerleader/Drama Major, blah blah blah. During dinner, I had a ring side seat to their sneaky attempts to pet and fawn. Well it was mostly Sue acting very bratty and spoiled.
I was getting sick watching them, but I mean the nerve of Jim to bring this girl to a function where people knew Emmy. Jim certainly had a brass pair.
While we danced after dinner; between constantly moving Jim's southerly drifting hands; plots formulated and reformulated in my mind. Finally one came to me as I attempted to curb Ed's consumption of inebriates because he was driving me for the evening. I had noticed Jim was pounding the booze pretty hard too, heading for a sure dose of whiskey dick, but also more susceptible to suggestions. So I made one.
"Lets all get out of here and go over to Ed's, I'd love a soak in his Jacuzzi right about now," I said.
Ed's glazed eye didn't register my suggestion, seems it went right over his head. Jim seemed indifferent from the look on his face.
"But I don't have a suit to wear?" chimed the bubbly Sue.
"Then we'll have to skinny dip I guess," I said winking.
Ed was suddenly alert, albeit only momentarily. Jim found the idea most appealing now too. All I had to do now was reel him in now.
When we arrived at Ed's spacious mansion in the Beverly Hills, I willingly played the good hostess. I rolled up some of Ed's stash; Humboldt County's finest; then we proceeded to puff, puff, and pass ourselves blissful before heading to the Jacuzzi.
Ed was fried quickly, and I was pretty sure he was going pass out. Jim helped me get him up to his bedroom. I poked my nose into his medicine cabinet while I was up there, and purloined a little blue "man maker" from a vial.
When we got back downstairs I had no problem getting Jim to swallow his medicine.
I just winked and said. "Momma wants you to grow up big and strong,"
He downed the pill and smiled wolfishly at me. I laughed to myself; damn they make it so easy sometimes.
Sue had already slipped into the steamy bubbles and looked quite at home; and high when we returned. She was sitting on the edge of the Jacuzzi toking on a small bong wearing only soggy panties and her pearls. I grabbed some towels from the nearby locker, dropped one near Sue; tossed another one at Jim, the third I wrapped turban style around my head to keep my hair dry.
