Sienna stretched out and put her legs up on the mahogany desk she had purchased a few days earlier. Buying some of her new office furniture at an estate sale had enabled her to save quite a few dollars. Saving money was fairly important when starting a new business and using all your own money to do it.
Her husband had been supportive, if somewhat incredulous at the beginning. He thought Sienna's idea of opening a dating service / matchmaker was a little far-fetched, but that was Sienna. She didn't think inside the box, so he let her talk. She was insistent that she would not be using their joint monies, relying only on the funds she had received from her previous employers. Roger was glad of that, although he would have helped if she needed him. She didn't, the new project was all her baby and she wanted to establish "Companions" on her own. It took her a few weeks to locate a nice-sized office in a good part of town. She didn't want her business to be anywhere that appeared seedy. Then, like a whirling dervish, she went about cleaning the office. She stopped short of painting it herself, hiring professionals to do that. Then, she bought some video equipment and the computers she would need for the client profiles. She got the room set up to film the video profiles and ran a few tests with friends to make sure everything looked okay. Once she was sure she knew what she was doing, she went hunting for furniture, placed some ads and waited for the hoped-for clients to arrive. Her ad stressed that she was seeking those "unlucky in matters of the heart" and that her service would be diligent in finding companions for everyone, man or woman.
To her great delight, she had several customers within her first week in business. Sienna was thinking ahead. She set up different types of payment options, so her customers could try it out for the short term or go for long-term. She assured everyone that she would work diligently on their behalf and that she didn't consider anything too "strange" to be included in their profiles. She told them that the more precise they were, the more likely she would be able to match them up.
Sienna stretched out and took stock of her look. She had worn a very attractive business suit, although not so practical as not to show off her legs. If the male customers saw that an attractive, sexy woman was running the business, they might be more likely to give it a try. Sienna had never lacked self-confidence and it looked as if she would be a success in her new venture. She had spent part of the morning fielding a number of phone calls asking her about her services and she was sure that she had been able to convince some of the callers to come in and give it a try.
Sienna thought about going out for lunch or a coffee, but that would have to wait. A gorgeous specimen of a man walked in the front door at that very moment. He must have stood about 6'4" tall, with jet-black hair and broad shoulders. He carried himself with such confidence that Sienna wondered why such a man would be in need of her services, but everyone was different and she shouldn't make assumptions. She put herself in business mode and flashed a winning smile at her new arrival, offering him a chair. "What can I do for you, Mister ...?" Sienna asked.
"Blake, Thomas Blake," the handsome man smiled. Even his smile was picture perfect and Sienna again wondered why a man this gorgeous required her services. "I'm looking for a companion," he answered.
"That's why I'm in business," Sienna smiled back. His eyes seemed to focus on her body and she allowed a brief fantasy to flitter through her mind. Fantasies harmed no one and they kept her libido high for Roger's benefit. "I find it a bit surprising that someone like you needs someone like me, though," she flirted.
"Actually, it isn't for me, it's for my wife," Thomas said as he reached into the pocket of his jacket and withdrew a photo. The woman in the picture was a sunny-faced strawberry blonde who appeared to be somewhat younger than Thomas. "This is her photo, lovely, isn't she?"
"Yes, very," Sienna nodded, looking at the picture of the adorable young woman. "If she's your wife, why are you looking for a companion for her?"
"I suppose I should give you some of the back-story, shouldn't I?" Thomas smiled as he made himself comfortable in the large, plush chair Sienna had purchased for her reception area. "I'm a college professor and lecturer and I'm 40. My wife was one of my students and, against all the rules, we had an affair. I found myself falling in love with Marz - her name is Marzia, but she was an astronomy nut as a kid and everyone called her Marz, so it stuck. I proposed and to my great surprise, she said yes. I never would have imagined that someone nearly half my age would marry me, but she did and we're very happy together," he explained.
"I see, but now I fail to understand why you're looking for a companion for her if you're both happy," Sienna said, puzzled.
"I'm getting to that. You see, our sex life is very passionate. Marz is a woman of incredible passions and being younger than I, she - wears me out," he laughed gently. "She could have sex 10 times a day and still want more," he told Sienna.
"A woman after my own heart," Sienna thought to herself as she let her new client continue.
"Marz is loyal to a fault and she would never cheat on me, but I think she needs more than I am capable of providing," Thomas continued. "She suggested we join a Swing Club and herein lies the problem. I lecture a lot and am away a lot. I would be willing to let her swing, but I don't have the time to devote to the `lifestyle', as I'm given to understand it is called. My wife refuses to participate without me, but I want her sexually satisfied. Marz had admitted to being bi-curious and I know she would love a threesome, but we don't know anyone in our social circle that we could approach. Marz is also a little bit shy in that regard, despite her - wild streak in bed. So, I thought that I could perhaps find a woman or a couple with whom she could become comfortable enough with to live out her fantasies and keep her company when I'm on the lecture circuit," he concluded.
Sienna flashed him another bright smile and stretched out again. Had things been a bit different, she might have volunteered herself. "Marz" was an adorable little pixie. "You realize that my services aren't cheap?" Sienna told him, trying to ascertain whether or not he was fully committed to the idea.
"I'm not worried about the costs," Thomas responded. "I earn a very good living; I just want Marz to have whatever it is she needs. Do you think that you can help me with this?"
"As a matter of fact, yes," Sienna smiled happily. "Normally, I have my new clients film a video profile, but that won't work in your case. Fortunately, I had a couple come in here the other day looking for a woman to enjoy. If you like, I can show you
their
profile and if they meet your criteria, I'll contact them and set something up. Interested?"
"Very."
Sienna showed him the profile of the attractive couple. Their names were Dana and Paul Masters. Paul was a 6'2" surfer god and his wife Dana was a 5'4" brunette with curves that had curves of their own. Dana was the older of the pair by 6 years. Both possessed a strong animal magnetism that Sienna felt when they entered her office. She had found herself entranced with the handsome young couple and was confident that they would have no trouble finding what it was they were looking for. Looking at Thomas as he watched their video, she knew that she had made a match. If this worked as she thought it would, she had already earned her first month's rent on the new office.
"Yes," Thomas said when the video finished playing. "Show them Marz's picture and if they're interested, set up a meeting. We can all go to dinner and make it seem like an informal get-together. If my wife likes these people, we'll just let things go the way they should," he smiled at Sienna.
Thomas made payment arrangements and left her office. After closing briefly for a long-awaited lunch, Sienna returned to the office and called Paul and Dana. Paul was at work, but Dana was home and came down to chat with Sienna. One look at Marz's picture and the curvy brunette was all smiles. "God, yes," she breathed as she handed the photo back to Sienna. "Set it up as soon as you can."
"Don't you want to wait to see if Paul agrees with you?" Sienna questioned.
"Paul
always
agrees with me," Dana smiled. "If he knows what's good for him, that is." Sienna now sensed that it was the curvy brunette who made the decisions for the couple. "Someone this lovely is too beautiful to let get away." She placed her hand on top of Sienna's and the blonde felt her pulse quicken. She knew that it was of tantamount importance for her to remain professional, but the sultry and alluring brunette was a delicious temptation. In a low-cut blouse, skirt and six-inch heels, almost anyone would be easy pickings for one such as Dana.
