My plane touched down in Houston just after sunset. I was tired from the travel and all of the work I had done in Jamaica, but just needed to make it through the next few days before I got some much deserved time off.
When I exited the terminal, my driver was the only one waiting outside. He was a foreigner, possibly Indian, who didn't say more than three words to me. Somehow, it seemed hotter and more humid at night in Texas than it did during the day in Jamaica. The customary envelope lay on the seat of the car. The contents of the envelope consisted solely of a letter from Eliza.
Joe,
Thank you so much for filling in on this assignment on such short notice. We try to provide our clients with the best customer service possible, so not sending one of our associates was not an option. The good news is that Jake, the man you are filling in for, is getting better faster than expected. We anticipate that Jake will arrive tomorrow evening to take over.
Your assignment will be with Kerry Washington. Kerry is in Houston shooting a movie and will be here for the next month or so. Jake is the only one of our associates who has ever worked with Kerry, due to compatibility. It was with much frustration that Kerry agreed to have you come in his place until he recuperated. You will likely not receive the warmest reception, but we hope that you can satisfy her needs until Jake can arrive.
Below is some information on the client:
Age: 39
Height: 5'4"
Hair Color: Black
Skin Color: Black
Measurements: 34-24-35
Bra Size: 34B
Sexual Experience: Veteran
Favorite Position: Suspended Congress
Personality: Bitchy
Notes: Prefers well-endowed men
This is not the best situation for anyone involved. From a compatibility standpoint, we would never pair the two of you together, but she insisted we send someone and your schedule was the only one that worked.
You will be staying in Kerry's hotel suite, but should not need a cover story for just this one night. Take the service elevator to room 1429 and Kerry will let you in.
Thank you again for the help,
Eliza
It sounded like I was heading into a hostile situation. I had seen Kerry on TV before, but she hadn't necessarily been someone I was attracted to. It also sounded like she was not going to be a huge fan of mine.
A number of things in the letter concerned me. The first was that Eliza came out and said that we were not compatible. I was not entirely sure why we were not compatible, but it didn't bode well for the evening ahead. Secondly, was the age difference. I had never been with someone who was that much older than me. The largest age gap that I had been with was maybe 10 years. Would Kerry think that I was too young for her? Thirdly, was the last note on her profile about well-endowed men. Granted, I was not lacking in that department, but I was not blessed with an elephant trunk either. Would I be too small to satisfy her? That would be a first, but was not outside the realm of possibility.
The car pulled up to the back of a fancy hotel in downtown. The outside of the building was lined with beautiful landscaping, which actually took away from the nice architecture of the building. The back door was open and I pulled a small rolling suitcase inside. The dimly lit hallway made it obvious that this was a service entrance, and not a place many customers hung out. I found an elevator halfway down the hallway and headed up to the 14
th
floor.
When the elevator door opened, the hallway dΓ©cor had transitioned from dim and grimy, to bright and flashy. Gold was the overarching color that was used. I made my way down the hallway counting up the room number until I arrived at the end of the hall and stood face to face with a door labeled "1429". I gave the door two quick taps with my fist and waited for the door top open.
A voice could be heard from inside growing louder with each second until the door came open. Kerry was on her cell phone and motioned me inside with no greeting. Her suite was very modernly decorated, which was surprising considering the "old money" looking use of gold in the hallway. White, black and stainless steel popped off every inch of the suite. A large window spanned the length of the living room and looked out onto downtown. I walked up to the window and took in the impressive view while Kerry continued to talk on her phone.
"Joe," I heard from the other side of the room.
Kerry had finally gotten off the phone and was now staring at me with her arms crossed.
"Yes?" I responded, wondering if there was more to her statement, or if she just wanted to check and make sure that was my name.
"I just got off the phone with Eliza and she said that Jake will be arriving tomorrow afternoon. We will have to make the best of tonight, but once Jake arrives you are free to leave. I'll show you to your room."
Kerry paced across the living room, arms still folded, down a large hallway that was lined with doors. We stopped at the first door on the right and she opened it.
"Here is your room. My room is at the end of the hallway and your bathroom is the next door down on the left. I'll give you fifteen minutes to get ready. Come down to my room when you are ready to go."
By the time I processed everything that was said, Kerry had already gone into her bedroom. I quickly tried to ready myself for sex, which was difficult considering I had been travelling all day. I changed into a new pair of boxer briefs and tried to freshen myself up in the bathroom. Ten minutes had elapsed by the time I felt prepared, or at least relatively prepared.
I knocked on Kerry's bedroom door and heard a muffled, "Come in!"
