Have you ever wondered who a doctor calls when he gets sick? Or who cleans a dentist's teeth? What happens when a therapist gets the ol' gloomies?
They phone a friend, obviously.
"Hey, you working tonight?"
Claire checked over her shoulder to make sure her last visit of the day had actually shown himself out, catching a glimpse of his elbow as the door closed behind him. "Hello to you too, stranger."
"Sorry," Joe muttered. "Hi, how are you? Are you working tonight?"
Claire laughed and switched the call to her speaker, tossing her phone onto the bed. "No, I think I'm done for the day. Why, are you trying to buy me dinner again?"
It was Joe's turn to chuckle. "Maybe I am. I've got like 2 more calls today; can I see you after?"
"Jesus, dude," she scoffed, plopping down at the room's desk to scrub her face clean in a small mirror. "I mean, we can hang out, but you're not gonna have anything left for me. Don't tell me you actually like me or something," she teased.
"Shut up," he muttered, "can I see you or not? I've been sitting in this lady's driveway for like 3 minutes; if I don't go pretend to be her plumber soon she'll think I'm flaking out."
Claire laughed again. "Fine, fine! It would be nice to get some actual good dick I guess. And see your cute face, or whatever. But don't bother trying anything if you're just gonna be pushing rope on me, got it?"
"I wouldn't dream of it."
"Your place or mine then?"
"Neither," Joe replied, waving at the impatient housewife peeking at him through her kitchen blinds. "I got us a room at the place up on Carlton, under my name."
"Big spender," Claire teased, scratching a bit of dried cum off her naked tit nonchalantly. "I didn't think plumbers made enough for that kind of place."
"You're a butt," he replied, clapping a generic ball cap on to complete his tradesman's outfit. "Be at the bar for 10:00. I want The Full Girlfriend."
"That costs extra you know."
Joe barked a short, indignant laugh, kicking his door open before hanging up the call. "9:00pm, or I won't let you kiss me. Bye."
Claire looked away from the mirror as the call dropped with a beep, knowing she was fighting a losing battle with her sheepish urge to grin. He'd refuse to kiss her, would he? That was rich. Mostly.
"On to the next one, I guess," she sighed aloud, pondering the mess of toys and bottles of lubes and lotions strewn about the room. She knew Joe wouldn't cheap out on her; she'd suffer through the indignity of cleaning up her own mess and cabbing across town only because she knew The Grand had jacuzzies in almost every room. She could get a good, long soak in before he'd even get home to change.
*******
The Full Girlfriend was Claire's specialty, and she was damn good at it; any of her clients who sprung for the extra expense always came back for more of the same. They never got this though; they never got the version where she wasn't faking it.
"Darling," Joe crooned as he came up behind her, a hand at her waist and lips aimed for hers.
"Ah ah," she chided, showing him a cheek. "Kisses are for guys who show up on time." She grinned as she felt him plant a smiling peck on the offered cheek anyway.
"And what about guys who aren't going to complain about the $200 room service you spent the afternoon racking up, hmm?"
Claire conceded the point, and turned into the kiss, pleasantly surprised to see him in a well-tailored three piece. She'd tugged herself into her slinkiest little black dress with the intent of showing him up, but he'd definitely matched her at least. He looked like sex on a fucking stick.
"What are we drinking?" he asked, sliding into a seat next to her at the bar, slipping a hand onto her thigh casually.
"Girly shit for me," she replied. "And whatever is going to get you out of that suit the fastest for you."
Cocktails, four. No food, obviously. Shop talk, absolutely off the menu. The tension? Syrupy.
"If your cock isn't inside me in the next five minutes, I'm going home," she threatened at half past 11:00.
Joe drained warming dregs of Macallan with a heady gulp and rose without a word. Claire took the offered hand and let him lead her out to the lobby's bank of brassy elevators.
They almost managed to stay clothed all the way to the room.
