Chapter 11 – Cashing In
My Saturday in Seattle with Leslie had been amazing. I had not cum that hard that many times in one session for a while. My marathon sessions with Emma used to be my favorite part of this game. It was nice to get back to that somewhat and Leslie was a filthy little minx, which I loved.
The week dragged on, overshadowed by the thoughts of Saturday's tryst. I had to snap back to reality. I knew I was going to receive a call from Emma at some point. So, it was no surprise when the phone at my desk rang on Thursday afternoon.
"Hello," I answered casually.
"We need to meet about your divorce settlement," Emma stated.
"Of course we do, just say when," I agreed.
"Tomorrow night, 5pm at the office," she detailed.
And then, the routine hang up.
After what felt like a month's time, 4:30pm on Friday arrived. I left work and headed to see Emma. I entered the office suite after my drive over and was delighted, as always to see Penny sitting at her desk. I strolled up and smiled at her, waiting for her to get off the phone.
"Hey there gorgeous," I said to her as she hung up the phone.
"Hey there yourself," she replied. "How was Seattle?"
"Exhausting," I revealed, chuckling to myself.
"It sounded like it," she retorted, making me think she knew more than she was letting on. "Emma is expecting you, go right in."
I hated to leave her but I proceeded into Emma's office and sat down. Emma was reviewing a document in her hand when I arrived. She finished her review and looked up at me. She put down the paper she held and removed her glasses.
"No bullshit, what is important to you," she asked bluntly.
"Important to me how," I inquired.
"Important in this settlement with your soon to be ex-wife," she explained.
"Well, obviously, I would rather not pay alimony and I would love to keep the house," I admitted. "Other than that, I am flexible."
"You may not get both of those," she advised. "I may be able to work a deal for you that gets you one or the other."
"I trust you," I conceded.
"I knew I picked a good one when I chose you," she flattered me.
"You are the angel that rescued me from an ordinary, mundane day-to-day existence and delivered me to a complicated place that makes me feel alive," I professed. "Are you ever going to get back into the game?"
I leaned forward in the chair I was sitting in and awaited her response.
"Never say never," she quipped.
"Em, I am taking off for the weekend," Leslie interrupted as she stepped into Emma's doorway. "Oh, I didn't realize you were here."
She had her briefcase and car keys in her hand and was ready to leave, though she seems startled by my presence.
"We were preparing for next Wednesday's meeting and hearing," Emma informed her. "Have a great weekend."
"You too," Leslie responded. "And you have an assignment tomorrow. Penny has cashed in her win from the poker game. She will call you in the morning with your instructions. What she says goes tomorrow."
"I understand," I confirmed for her.
She headed out without another word. Emma and I sat there staring at each other for several more moments before I stood up.
"I will see you Wednesday," I surmised.
"Yes you will," she replied flatly.
I turned and headed for the door when her voice stopped me.
"As for the game," she declared, "there may come a day when I jump back into it, but that day is not today."
I didn't say a word, I just listened. When she was done speaking I left her office and headed home.
I did my best to have a productive Friday night, not knowing what was to come the following day. I cleaned the house, did laundry and even got to watch an entire ballgame. Sweet.
The ringing of the phone woke me. I had apparently spent the night on the couch and sunlight was now peaking through the blinds on the living room windows. I grabbed the phone.
"Hello," I answered, half awake.
"Rise and shine, boytoy," Penny giggled at me. "It's my day."
"So I heard," I admitted. "What can I do for you?"
"Ok, so here's the deal," she began. "I also cashed in my shopping spree from Jack. I am headed to the mall. I will be at your house at 6pm. I want a candlelight dinner and I want you to wear a suit."
"Ok, consider it done," I assured her. "Anything else?"
"A nice wine," she added. "If you impress me I might have a surprise for you."
I was about to say something when she hung up. They were all so good at that.
I spent the rest of the day preparing. I cleaned the kitchen and dining room thoroughly and set the table nicely. I called and ordered dinner from a nearby restaurant and had them deliver it. I was not about to attempt cooking. I showered and put on my grey suit with a white shirt and blue tie. I looked sharp. Everything was laid out as instructed when Penny arrived. The doorbell rang and I lit the candles on the table.
I answered the door to see Penny, holding 8 or 10 shopping bags. I let her in and kissed her on the cheek.
"I need to go change before dinner," she advised me. "Where is the bedroom?"
"Top of the steps, first door on your left," I told her.
I retreated to the dining room and waiting, ensuring again that everything was perfect. Penny returned from upstairs, now ready for dinner. She had changed and was now wearing a stunning black halter dress that had a long opening between her breasts. The dress was long and made her look incredible. My breath was taken away.
"Wow," was all I could muster in response.
"Just what I was going for," she giggled. "I will have to thank Jack when I see him."
"Dinner is served, my lady," I informed her.
I pulled out her chair and seated her. I poured her a glass of wine and uncovered her dinner, which was already on her plate. I sat across from her and we ate in the candlelight, no television, no radio, just the two of us.
