Rick turned around at the sound of his name to see Courtenay's mom waving at him. He returned her greeting and she began walking towards him. For a woman in her mid forties, she looked fantastic. He could certainly see where Courtenay's looks came from. He could also see where her big tits came from. Mrs. Venditti dressed like someone ten years younger, but managed to pull it off quite well. Her shirt fit snugly, but was not trashy. Her skirt was far enough above her knees to show off her legs.
"I still want to take you up on your offer", she said, "or did you think I forgot?"
"G-g-great,' Rick stammered, wondering what she was talking about.
"I have the rest of the morning free. Are you available?" she asked.
"I think so", Rick said, glancing at his phone, tapping on it to bring up the calendar. He wondered if he had offered to do some yard work.
"There is a shop down the street with a nail color I have been dying to try out," she gushed.
Suddenly it all came back to Rick. When he had done Courtenay's makeover, and done Courtenay as well, her mother had been very impressed by Rick's manicure and pedicure skills. Rick relaxed; there were worse ways to spend a Saturday morning. He also remembered that Nancy had told him Alexis Venditti was a swinger. Rick was not sure if she was joking or not. Mrs. Venditti did not look the part.
"I think I can work you in, Mrs. Venditti," Rick replied.
"Please, call me Alexis. You are not a kid anymore,' she insisted.
"Okay Alexis, a mani and a pedi today?'
"That would be a good start," she answered.
Rick paused, thinking about what Nancy had said. He felt his cock stir a bit and he looked at Alexis's impressive cleavage. He shook his head, there was no way Alexis Venditti was a swinger.
"What else did you have in mind?" he inquired.
"Don't worry, you don't have to give me a spray tan", she laughed, seeming to delight in his discomfort.
"Okay..." Rick paused, not sure how to reply to her remark.
"How about we head to the shop down the street and I will see what strikes my fancy. If I pick something you don't want to do I will put it back?"
Alexis smiled as she walked down the street with Rick. He was obviously conflicted, which was exactly what she wanted. For a week she had bitten her tongue each time she wanted to tell him she knew how Courtenay's makeover had gone. She had returned to the house early and heard them fucking, but decided to keep their secret. She really was impressed with Rick's work with makeup. But she was more interested in his other skills. Alexis wondered if Rick would notice her nipples poking through her shirt. She pulled the material away from her body, it would be better if Rick did not know how aroused she was until later.
Rick followed Alexis into the beauty supply shop. The round shape of her ass was mesmerizing, another genetic trait she had passed down. He still did not believe what Nancy had said about Alexis being in an open relationship. At best he could leverage this nail job into something from Courtenay; and at the worst Alexis might buy him lunch for his trouble. If he was lucky he might get a nice view of her cleavage when he painted her nails. She handed him a basket and they started down the aisle. The first stop was nail polish. The first thing she selected was a vivid red nail polish. Rick looked at the bottle before he placed it in the basket. It claimed to have color shifting properties. He shrugged and placed it back in the basket. He glanced up to see Alexis heading down the other aisles. She was in the skincare and shaving section. Rick's heart skipped a beat when he saw her eyeing the bikini and leg waxing supplies.
"I tried waxing my legs once; the wax was just too hot. I don't know how people do it. I just have to do it old school with a razor. Is leg shaving a service you offer?" She asked.
"Honestly I have never shaved another person, but I'm pretty good with my own face. I am willing to give it a try," he replied.
He watched as she grabbed a can of shaving gel, noting that it was for sensitive skin. Rick wondered how far up her legs she wanted him to go.
A little further down the row she was perusing oils.
"Does the pedicure include a massage?" she asked innocently.
"It does now," Rick answered cheerfully.
Alexis reached for a bottle of Vanilla scented massage oil, and then hesitated. She placed it back on the shelf. She wanted more than vanilla today. Her eyes surveyed the shelf. Rosemary, Lavender, Cinnamon, all too tame. Finally she found what she wanted, Spicy Clove and Amber. She plucked it off the shelf and laid it in the basket. She wondered if Rick would be up for what she had in mind. The oil was the last thing on her shopping list. She took the basket from Rick and instructed him to wait for her outside. The cashier probably would not think anything of her purchase, but it was probably best that Rick not be next to her at the counter.
"Where is your car?" Alexis asked as she exited the store.
"Actually, I am on my bike today... you know, save the planet, get in shape, yada yada yada," Rick answered.
"Well, I'm in the truck today, so I am afraid I have undone you planet saving. You can toss your bike in back and ride with me if you like," Alexis said.
"Okay, thanks," Rick replied.
During the drive to her house, Alexis casually mentioned that the rest of her family would be gone for the next few hours. She tried to gauge Rick's reaction to that news, he seemed happy about it. She could not help mentioning how excited she was about the new nail polish. She thought it would make her look absolutely irresistible. They arrived at her house and she led Rick upstairs to the master bedroom.
"My vanity is probably the best place to do this," she said as calmly as she could. Having Rick in her bedroom had aroused her more than she expected. She wanted to keep Rick guessing her true intentions for as long as possible.
Rick stopped to look around the room. It was fairly plain. The room was dominated by a king sized four poster bed. The room was in the corner of the house. The back wall had two large windows looking over the back yard, along with French doors leading out to a small deck. The other outside wall had smaller windows that looked onto the street. There was a small night stand on each side of the bed, a flat screen TV on the wall opposite the bed, and two walk in closets. Three large skylights filled the room with natural light. With the curtains on the back windows open the room felt more like a deck than a room. Along the back wall was Alexis's vanity. Lastly there was one other door that led to the master bath.
She handed him the bag of supplies, "Could you unpack these? I'm going to change into something better suited to a makeover. You'll need to shake that polish up; it's pretty bad about separating. Test it out on something to make sure it is mixed."
Alexis stepped into the bathroom, leaving the door slightly ajar. If Rick wanted to he would be able to spy on her as she changed. She removed her shirt and bra. Her nipples were swollen to twice their normal size. Alexis considered her choice in what to wear. She had a kimono that would be perfect if she wanted Rick to know what she really wanted him for. She also had a short terry cloth robe that could mask her nipples and did not scream about her desires. She slipped out of her shorts and ran a finger between her legs. Her panties were already damp. Alexis was counting on the nail polish to mask the smell of her arousal. She chose the terry cloth robe, knowing that it would not buy her much time. She washed her hands and returned to the bedroom. To her disappointment, Rick was still standing by her vanity. She had hoped to catch him peeking through the door. Alexis sat down and extended her hand. Rick got on his knees and looked at her fingernails.
"I'm sorry, forgot you need to sit down. There is a stool in the bathroom, can you grab it?" She asked.
Rick stepped into the bathroom. Like the bedroom it was not extravagant with one exception. The shower enclosure was huge. It took up the entire back side of the room. It was a large whirlpool tub with a shower head in the wall at each end. It was enclosed behind two large sliding glass doors, and the entire back wall was a window to the back yard. The top of the shower was a huge skylight. If the bedroom felt like a deck, the shower was like standing in the back yard. Next to the double sink was the stool Alexis had mentioned. Rick took one more look at the tub, then grabbed the stool and went back to the bedroom.
"Pardon me for asking," Rick said, "but don't you feel exposed in that shower?"
"The glass is one way, you can't see in. It does take some getting used to. Now anything else makes me claustrophobic," Alexis said has she opened the massage oil and held it under her nose. She set the open bottle on the vanity and extended her hand to him.
Rick worked quickly and efficiently, sparing her the explanation of how trimming her fingernails was like removing flash from model airplane parts, or how the nail polish was a lot like the paint he used on model rockets. Instead he made small talk as best he could.
"You do some work for Nancy White, don't you?" Alexis asked.
"Yes, I have been working for her for about a year now."
"Do you do her nails?", Alexis queried.
"No," Rick replied, "I do some babysitting, clean the pool and..." Rick paused. He could not think of a description of yard work that did not sound like a sexual innuendo. Mow the grass, trim the bushes, landscaping, they all seemed to have a double meaning now.
