INTRODUCTION
My first wife Jean, God rest her soul, was, and I'm not ashamed to say it, she was a French street whore. At the worst she may have been the most common of a common street whore who plied her trade among common men. For every man who has a cock, there comes a time when he has need to find a willing chamber in which he can discharge those poisons that the almighty has insinuated in the very spleen of mankind. Above all, my dear wife, Jean De Tormet was a fine person who was not only honest but treated people in the most Christian manner, and God knows, she alleviated the poisons in many a man's spleen.
Jean used to work the streets back in the 1960's, that surround the huge Flea Market in Paris, which is still found there on the Rue des Rosiers. Famous the world over for its fine antiques and unique offerings, many of the peddlers and antique dealers who displayed there were her regular customers, and many tourists found her beauty, charms and professional skills most irresistible.
In her day she was one of the most beautiful whores to work the streets. She no doubt would have earned more in a bordello but she didn't want to work under a pimp or boss, both figuratively or literally. She loved her freedom and always remained independent. Of course, she always dyed her brown hair to a honey blonde, she had big natural breasts with full perky nipples, probably bigger than the ever popular Bardot but with a narrow waist just like Brigitte who she resembled. In the evening she was often mistaken for the starlet, which is ridiculous, what would Bardot be doing whoring on the street under a night lamp? But men live in a fantasy world and Jean had every right to take advantage of their sexual stupidity. But the truth was she was a near look alike, it was uncanny, I must say that whenever we went places together, people would point and often come up to us to ask for her autograph.
Jean was extremely intelligent, she spoke a little of several languages. When approached by foreigners she could get by in sex banter with the Chinese in Mandarin, with Indians in Urdu and with the blackest of Africans in Swahili, she could even trade Brooklyn slang with the Yanks and if she could not communicate with words, she would use sign language. And for those clients who preferred quiet, her face could communicate all the necessary emotions while her mouth did all the work or the preparation for what comes next.
PT. #4 - THE JAPANESE AMBASSADOR'S CRIMES
(Please be advised that portions of this story contain horrible war crime recollections. Sensitive or impressionable readers definitely should not continue with this singular episode which chronicles extreme sadistic behavior. All victims are 18 years or older)
And so it came to pass, that on an afternoon when Jean visited the Louvre Museum, which in her experience was an excellent place to find new lovers, Jean met a thin short Japanese gentleman who wore a monocle and walked with a limp. His Excellency Ambassador Hirotomi spoke excellent French. Within minutes of their meeting, he was telling her his life story, although only the good parts. How was it that he was so fluent? As a child he had studied at a select private French Academy in Singapore where his father, also a senior diplomat, was stationed.
After their preliminary conversation, they strolled through the gallery, the Ambassador commenting with authority on the many impressionist paintings that were exhibited there. Of course, being a man of the world he was aware that Jean was not some bored housewife or grad student doing research, her occupation was obvious to him.
Eventually they reached the end of the hall where a giant Rodin statue of "The Lovers" was exhibited. It was in this exact place where Jean had found many afternoon lovers. She paused at the statue's side, knowing that she had obviously struck this man's fancy. In the most delicate and correct manner, he invited her,
"Come Mon Cherie, dine with me tonight."
"Where?"
"Come to my private residence, at the Japanese Embassy, 31 Rue du Faubourg Saint-Honoré, at 7:00pm."
Knowing this was a special occasion, she dressed in a silver lame' Dior gown she had been given by a former client, who in a fit of jealousy over his wife's indiscretion, had stolen it from her closet to give to his current lover, Jean.
When Jean arrived at the Japanese Embassy, it was already dark and of course the Embassy was closed to the public at that hour, but those who resided within entered by the side door under a single bright lamp, where a uniformed porter dressed in a military manner, with gold braid on his left shoulder and wearing very thick glasses escorted her to the Ambassador's private quarters.
That evening they enjoyed a fine meal prepared by the Ambassador's private chef who prepared a special meal of exotic raw fish and delicate mussels served over chipped ice with an array of dipping sauces on the side in tiny ceramic bowls. The finest quality imported hot Sake was constantly poured into tiny drinking cups to accompanied the meal.
As the evening progressed, the chef was dismissed and the Ambassador continued to dominate the conversation. He surprised her with his knowledge of French cinema. He talked at length about how he adored Jean Gabin, Philippe Noiret, Jeanne Moreau and others actors and director-filmmakers, especially Renoir, the son of the famed artist whom he had met at an Embassy function. Actually Jean had several well know actors of both sexes as clients.
When he saw that Jean was knowledgeable and a connoisseur of the cinema, he asked if she would like to accompany him to the Saturday night cinema's weekly shows, and thus began a relationship that was to persisted over a long period of time.
The two of them would go, her arm around his waist supporting him as he walked with his limp, as if they were two young lovers. Of course the Parisians inside the cinema probably recognized Jean was a street walker, but he was proud to be in her company and never complained about her short skirt and tight sweater. Had he said a word she might have dressed differently. Perhaps it was his ego that wanted to demonstrate to the world not only his conquest of this attractive woman but also his virility.
On their weekly cinema outings he would first take her to dinner first, often at a famous French seafood restaurant where he would order bouillabaisse, a fish soup specialty that was the most expensive item on the menu. He would insist on two bottles of wine, a sparkling Blanquette de Limoux to accompany the seafood and a sweet dessert wine, such as Monbazillac that went so well with the chocolate profiterole.
Thus filled with delicious food, fine wine and a sweet desert they would walk to a magnificent art deco theater, the Gran Rex Cinema on Boulevard Poissonnière. Seated together, hand in hand, they would watch his beloved cinema; sometimes classic art films, and sometimes new productions.
Hours later, after their entertainment, she would accompany him back to the Embassy, to his bedroom quarters where he lived in opulent splendor. He would ask her to help him undress and he would recline on his four post bed wearing only his silk underwear. Jean, at his request, would undress completely for his pleasure. Because her breasts were so large, without a bra they hung pendulous against her belly, her thick nipples, which she always tinged with red rouge, pointing down, like a cluster of red grapes ready to be harvested.
During these moment of intimacy, he would ask her to refer to him not as the Ambassador, but as Lieutenant Hirotomi. He would instruct her to open the top left drawer of the black teak lacquered dresser where she found neatly wrapped within a silk pouch, four balls of hemp cord, each being two and one half meters long. He would instruct her to tie the cord to each of his limbs with slip knots and then pull them tightly and secured the other end of the cord to each of the four tall bed posts.
Then, at his direction, she would again approach the teak bureau and open a small upper side drawer on the right side, and extract a whip with small sharp steel wires attached to the ends of leather straps which lay beside a small leather bound sharkskin notebook. This secret note book cataloged the Lieutenant's war victims.
The small notebook listed in french the names and occupations, the dates and other information. Further details were often written in Japanese. At his insistence she would read him a name from a long list of women and women whom he had molested during the war when the Japanese had invaded and cruelly occupied the Philippines.
At that time the Lieutenant was the commandant of a Japanese prisoner of war camp. Incarcerated there were Western diplomatic staff, assorted western and local foreign businessmen, Red Cross personal as well as Koreans and attractive nationals who were incarcerated to serve as sex slaves.
