It was very difficult to struggle out of bed early the next morning. Not just because I was suffering from the effects of our sexual athletics the night before, but Kate was doing her best to tempt me into a âquickieâ. In the end I wriggled out of her clasp and, after planting a lascivious kiss on her lusciously fragrant pussy lips with the promise an extended performance that evening, I took a quick shower and headed off to work. I paused briefly in the hotel coffee shop for a croissant and a shot of caffeine and detected that I was the centre of considerable covert attention. Obviously, Kateâs terrorisation of Jeffrey and Nigel last evening was âfront page newsâ among the day shift staff. Or, maybe, somebody had spotted us on the balcony? I was sorely tempted to shout, âThirteen!â as I headed out of the door.
When I arrived at the IT Centre I found my liaison manager fretting over some output anomalies that had appeared out of the blue. After an hour we tracked the problem down to some unauthorised and inadvertent changes made to fixed constants data by an internal someone that had cracked their security and had a poke around in the new routines. I breathed a private sigh of relief that the fault was not caused by my work. Database security was their problem.
The rest of the day was âfull-onâ with training and, before I knew it, it was nearly 6.00pm. I called Kate on the mobile to tell her that I wouldnât be back at the hotel until after seven. âThatâs okay.â She sounded really bright and bubbly. âStavros and I still have plenty to do.â
âStavros?â
âYes, Stavros, my taxi driver. See you!â And she cut the call off.
I knew Kate was only winding me up - or at least, I hoped she was â but I felt the âlittle green monsterâ touch me lightly. Stavros, if he was who I thought he was, was out of the Greek God mould â and a good fifteen years younger than me. But, there was no way I could finish my work for at least another half-hour. And I would have to be back at the Centre the next day, until midday at a minimum.
Kate was freshly showered and positively glowing when I reached our room. After giving me a reassuringly loving greeting, she hurried me into the shower, telling me to be quick because she was starving. Insidious doubts crawled into my mind again like poisonous worms â Kateâs immediate need following multiple orgasms, I had learned, was lots of food.
She insisted that we go out to eat that night, she felt like something exotic. After some searching, we ended up in a small back street Vietnamese restaurant. We were tempted to try that one because it was very busy and all the other clientele were Oriental â two very good signs. The owners made a big fuss of us, we suspected that they didnât have too many white Australians as customers, and, since they had very meagre English, half the restaurant was soon involved in explaining dishes to us and recommending things to try. We had a great time, great people and great food, and our total bill, including wine, was less than we paid for our entrees at the hotel the night before.
I wanted to stroll the city centre for a while when we left The Mekong, but Kate was keen to get back to the hotel. âThee and me are goinâ to have a heap of fun my foine young fellow!â
It shouldnât have, but it slipped out: âI thought youâd be worn out after your day with Stavros.â
She pinched the skin at my waist fiercely, âIt sounds like my lovely man is jealous! And I should be VERY angry that he doesnât trust me!â
âWell, quote, Stavros and I still have lots to do, unquote.â
âIt was true. In fact I was glad you were working later than planned, because we were behind schedule.â
âBehind schedule?â
âYes, he had to take me right out in the suburbs⊠youâll find out why when we get back âhomeâ. But, I must confess I had a lot of trouble getting him to accept payment for all the tripping around we did. And I did give in, in the end, when he pressured me to join him for lunch. But I didnât give in when he tried to get to go to a motel with him afterwards. And we became good mates when I admitted that you are my lover, not my father, and I told him that if I wasnât so crazy-mad in love with you, and determined to live with you forever, I would most likely have gone to bed with him. I wouldnât have done really, but saying it massaged his ego a bit.â
âAnd he didnât crash the taxi?â
âNo. But, and you mustnât be jealous, he did give me a gift â a little silver Orthodox crucifix that he kept as a good luck charm in his cab. And he said that he hoped that God would smile on us both.â
âSorry Stavros!â I called to the night sky.
âYou should be apologising to me, you untrusting beast! In fact Iâm now in two minds about sleeping with you tonight!â
âOh! Woe! Woe!â I wailed, wringing my hands. âNot only have I shot myself in the foot, Iâve blown the bloody thing right off! If I kiss My Ladyâs toes will she forgive me?â
âWhat here?â
âWhere else?â
âYou wouldnât!â
I dropped to my knees in the middle of the footpath, in the busy centre of Brisbaneâs Queen Street Mall, removed each of her shoes in turn, and planted a kiss on each toe. I got a few jeers and catcalls from the buskers, but what the hell. And one female voice called out to Kate, âGood on yer, sweetheart, thatâs the way to treat âem!â
When I regained my feet, Kate was looking at me with Vertigo Eyes. She threw her arms around my neck and kissed me hard on the mouth. When she released me she grinned, âYou are so delightfully, fucking, mad! Thatâs why I love you so much! How fast can you run with only one foot?â Then she hoiked her skirt high up around her thighs and started dragging me, at pace, back to the hotel.
Thank goodness it wasnât far to the hotel or Iâd have been too knackered to do anything when I got there. Hand in hand, we swept through the lobby like a whirlwind and just caught an elevator as the doors were closing. Still holding hands and puffing like steam trains, we found we were sharing the cabin with a staid-looking middle aged couple. The woman stared at Kateâs flushed face and heaving bosoms with clear distaste and made a disapproving sniff. Kate squeezed my hand and smiled at her winningly, âHe only gets one once a month. Iâve got to get him to our room quickly or heâll lose it.â
The startled look of outrage on the womanâ face was a picture, but when we stopped at their floor and the doors opened to let them out, her husband shot us a surreptitious smile and gave us the âthumbs upâ as he followed behind. âPoor sod!â I murmured as the doors closed again, âPromise me youâll never turn out like her.â
Just then we reached our floor and exited the elevator. Kate pinned me to the corridor wall with her arms around me. âOh, weâre not going to last that long.â
âThatâs a depressing notion!â
She slipped a hand down and cupped my testicles, and grinned up at me wickedly, âI have a clever, sinister plan! Iâm going to get you to make out a new will leaving everything to me and then Iâm going to fuck you to death!â
âAaaaaagh! What a way to go!â
âYou betcha! Come on⊠we have work to do!â Work? Now I was confused!
Kate sat me on a chair near to the bed and then she pulled back the covers on her side. It looked like there was half a photography-cum-electronics shop laid out on the mattress. âWhat on earth is all that?â
âWell, this is the latest Olympus digital camera, and this is a battery operated portable disk drive for downloading stuff from the camera, which has a pretty limited capacity at high resolution. And thatâs a box of disks for the portable drive. And this, of course, is a tripod. And that box contains editing software that weâre going to have to load onto one of your computers when we get home.â
âGeez, this lot must have cost a fortune!â
