This is probably the final installment of a two-part story "Ellen's Elf". I have made little effort to retrace the other story hereโplease read that story for what led up to this one as I have written this as if the reader were familiar with that story. On another note, many thanks for all of the kind words I have received regarding the stories I have written. Life is usually busy, and I have little time to write back to thank those of you who have written. So Thank You! And my apologies for any disappointment in the tone shift from last story to this oneโthat's just where the narrative went, and I followed.
***************************
Ellen and Elf toweled each other off, both spent from lovemaking and charged with the electricity of lovers relishing a new-found embrace. They donned terry-cloth robes, Elf's robe long on the shorter Ellen and too thin to cover her ample bosom in more than a cursory way. They laughed when she first slipped into the robe that gave scant coverage to her cleavage, much to Elf's delight, who reached over and caressed Ellen's bare mounds each time she was in reach and murmured her approval deep in the back of her throat.
"God" Ellen said as she checked the time, "I feel like I have lived a new life in a few short hours."
Elf just smiled, "so do you like the new you?"
"Mmmm, I like you" she offered, "but I don't quite know what to think just yet."
Elf handed her some wine as they cuddled on an overstuffed, double-wide chair, their legs entwined. "I hate for the night to end" Ellen said before she sipped.
"It's early" Elf observed, "it doesn't have to end unless you want it to."
"Should I go" Ellen asked, hoping for a specific answer, "I don't want to intrude on your night."
Elf began to answer when a cell phone rang in another room. "I have to take that" she said with a serious smile.
"Oh" Ellen laughed, "so you can take my phone from me but I can't take yours?"
"Something like that" Elf called from a connecting hall as she scurried to answer the phone in the other room. Ellen looked about at the expensive but somewhat incongruous decor, the rich leather sofa and liquor cabinet with fine wines, Scotch and Cognac, none if which seemed to fit Elf's personality as she knew it. She stood, walked to the window and looked down on the lights of the city still bustling with mid-evening diners, shoppers and late-night workers heading home.
Elf returned shortly, came up behind Ellen, put her arms first around her waist and then cupped her breasts as she kissed her neck. Ellen purred with delight at the affection as she turned and softly kissed her young lover. "I have to go somewhere shortly; would you like me to call you a cab to your hotel" Elf announced matter-of-factly as she brushed some stray tresses from Ellen's cheek and put her head on her shoulder.
Ellen thought a bit, "can I stay and wait for you? My hotel room will seem so lonely now. I'm normally not so needy, but I don't want this to end so soon."
Elf pulled her arms away from Ellen, stepped back a pace and looked into her eyes with a pause. For the first time since they met she stammered ever so slightly in response, "that's probably not a good idea."
Ellen demurred, thinking that Elf was trying to spare her feelings: "that's fine then. I have no reason to barge in on your private life. I am a bit of a pickup, after all."
Elf winced at her words, "no that's not it. It's my, it's my job, that's all. I just don't want. . . I just don't want to be a disappointment. I'm sorry."
"A disappointment" Ellen countered. "How could cute little you be a disappointment" she smiled as she reached again for Elf and touched her face, searching for the source of her sudden malaise. Her hand traced a line down her chin to her chest and, then inverted, to her navel and below to her bare lips as her middle finger split her clitoral hood and bisected the damp slit as her adjoining fingers spread her apart. She caressed her pussy as Elf closed her eyes and sighed deeply from the affection.
"I wanted to spend some more time with you, that's all, or at least not have it end yet" Ellen finished with a perplexed smile as she slowly turned to the couch to begin to dress.
Elf took a deep breath and turned to face her back, "Fuck it, fuck it" she exclaimed under her breath. "Do you really want the truth? Because if you do you'll be appalled and disgusted and never want to come back here again. I'm tired of having to lie about this; I'm tired of losing lovers from this, so I'll just lose you fast and get it over with."
She paused again to look at Ellen, who turned back toward her, wanting to confront her directly and honestly, she began strong and confident and finished with her voice quivering: "I'm a prostitute, and I'm an art student, and damned good at both, but that's how I pay my bills. Business is good; it's been good to me. I don't quite know why, but everybody wants a to fuck someone like me. So my tuition, rent, everything is paid for; once or twice a week and it's all taken care of. There, now you can go and forget tonight, me, everything if you want. You can find another me out there who isn't a whore."
Ellen would have been lying if had she said that she wasn't taken aback by the revelation, having found herself in peculiar circumstancesโhaving romantic longings for a young woman as well as a powerful sexual attraction to her. Perhaps everyone did want to fuck someone like her. But the woman who just an hour ago she was showering with just happened to be a whore. Her curiosity overruled her initial queasiness, and she asked a question that came as a surprise to them both, "why that?"
"Why what" Elf said, still staring into Ellen's eyes to gauge her reaction, "I told you."
"No, why do you do that in particular" she asked as kindly and directly as she could, "it's not like there isn't a world of jobs out there. I can get you a good job if that's all you need."
Elf considered her reply: "Maybe I need more than just that. Why did you come here and make love with me tonight? You wanted to, I guess. When I am with a man, or a woman, or men and women, and believe me I've done the group thing too, I'm what they want. I'm their fantasy for a night. Not their wife or their husband or their lover; they want me. They do things with me they could never do with their lover because their lover can refuse; within reason, I can't, or don't. I'm their little secret, a very, very expensive little secret. And my own little secret is that I like it sometimes. I get to be slut for a night with clean, rich clients and, normally, never see them again" she said, now with her back toward Ellen, afraid to face her judgment.
