Pins
Business was good. I was averaging 3-4 new girls each week for Arcane and my little side business, which I had dubbed
Needful Things
was up to 80-90 'dates' each week. At a minimum fee to the house (me) of $100 for each 'jolt and bolt' (a quick fuck and out the door), after deducting Ash's accounting and phone sitting duties I was netting better than $7,500 each and every week. I was going through the previous month's appointments and I noticed a glaring mistake. It actually made me happy since normally Ashleigh was flawless with her work and appropriately proud of it. I kinda liked a sign of fallibility in that otherwise perfect visage.
"Hey Ash, it's not really a big deal since the books come out all right but you made a mistake on Thursday's postings!"
She didn't even look up from her reading. "No I didn't."
Oh I was going to enjoy taking her down a peg! "Actually Honey, you did! You've got Kelly and Lucy working the Ramada at seven o'clock while Nancy, Dianne, and Jane are all working down by the airport at the same time. The problem shows up where you've got Liz working the Embassy Suites for an all nighter starting at seven thirty while you've also got her booked for a tag-team with two guys at the Holiday Inn Express at eight o'clock! Liz can suck a lot of dicks but I kind of doubt she can suck 'em fourteen miles apart."
Ash
still
didn't look up as she turned a page. "They were all requests, the guy at the Embassy Suites was referred by stockbroker Tommy and the guys at the Holiday Inn were told by Frank Collins that Liz was the best fuck in the Midwest!"
Ashleigh was being intentionally obtuse and it was unlike her. I started using Sherlock Holmesian logic and the only possible answer jumped out at me. I had to sit down on the bed. All I could say was a muted "Wow!"
She finally looked up from her book. "Took you long enough!"
All I could say was, "I'm going straight to Hell!"
"Why? I was the one who fucked them! Why blame yourself!"
"After my folks died your mother never hesitated. She had three kids and finances were already stretched but Aunt Lorraine never hesitated. I'm not saying that a lot of other people wouldn't have done the same thing, but they didn't do it for
me!
So I repay her by turning her two daughters into whores!"
Ashleigh took my hand and kissed my cheek. "Nice story! Only thing is you left out the part where both of us
wanted
to do it! If you want to blame someone for my fucking those guys then why don't you blame Liz?
Think about it! She didn't approve of the whole thing but I said I wanted to do some nude shots. She responds by shooting a porn vid. We all three of us take two steps back to catch our breath and the next thing I know she's prostituting herself with two guys in the Ramada! Well maybe I just got tired of my sister having all the fun and living out
my
fantasies! Oh, and I had a
lot
of fun in that room!"
"So I guess it's my turn coming up?"
Ash released a sigh of exasperation. "Now
that's
intelligent! Let me go over it one more time.
I
run my body and you run
yours
! Trust me, it's a terrific system. It's called
free will
or something like that.
Oh and by the way, I just committed the company to a twenty two hundred dollar legal bill so don't be surprised if you see the check to a lawyer named Hodges. We're setting up another corporation. I want to see how difficult it would be to get 501C3 status but in any event the
Pettiworth Foundation
is going to be a conduit we'll use to fund the scholarships we're all going to apply for and be granted. Mom and Dad are never going to need to spend more than a grand or two on any of our educations, including Danny's."
"Why have them need to cough up anything?"
Ash was
so
much the brightest of us she sometimes arrives at quick conclusions it might take me days to figure out. "Duh! They
need
to contribute
something
! If they're not sacrificing for us they'll feel peripheral, unnecessary, like they're being forced to the bench! Trust me it's good for them!"
She got out of bed and went over to the computer, opened up our Outlook Contacts and said, "You wanna do something this evening?"
"You mean like a work something or a play something?"
"Anything you want. I have the power of the scheduler! Right now Liz is at the Marriott but she'll be done by six and I intentionally left her off this evening's schedule. I could book us some work or the three of us could go shopping, take in a movie, whatever Pins wants."
I only needed a few seconds to know what I wanted so I said, "I want to spend the evening with you two. I want to pig out on pizza at Mama Carla's and then I want to play some miniature golf!"
Ashleigh grinned. "I can do that! Ten dollars a stroke on the golf course?"
I grinned along with her, "Done!
Oh, and Ashleigh?"
She was back at her computer. "Yeah, Babe?"
"If you ever get a call from a john who's looking to hire three girls to work together? That might be fun..."
She reached over and tweaked my nipple. "Yeah... I think that might be a lot of fun!" Her face acquired a distant, far-away look. "Yeah I think I could get into a 'sisters' orgy. The guys had better have some serious stamina, though!" We high fived each other as I went to get changed.
We waited in the lounge at the Marriott after Ash sent a text letting Liz know where we were. We both had
creative
IDs so Ash ordered a Greyhound while I just ordered a beer. I was just reaching into my purse to pay for the drinks when a voice from behind me said to the bartender, "Put those on my check." The bartender nodded.
I turned toward an older looking guy, maybe in his late 50's. "Well thank you sir!"
His eyes were glued on Ashleigh as he said, "I was thinking about you earlier."
"I beg your pardon?"
"Well we'll only be in town for a couple of more days and I was saying to my friends that I was determined to hire you once more before we left. Are you available for this evening?"
Ash smiled as she said, "Well first of all I think you think you're talking to my sister Liz. We're actually waiting for her right now! Secondly although I can't speak for her, my other sister here and I were hoping to convince her to do something with us tonight."
""Wow, identical twins! How about I wait with you for your sister and see what she decides; by the way, I'm Lucas Hayden."
"Sure you can wait with us but I feel it's only fair to warn you that our sister usually agrees with us!"
"I love a challenge!" He turned to me. "And you are?"
Ash jumped in, "Oh I'm sorry, I'm Ashleigh and this is my baby sister Pins."
"Pins, now there's an unusual name! Is there any significance to it?"
"No not really, it's just a nickname I picked up when I was a kid." I wasn't ready to explain to this stranger the association to my last name 'Needles' quite yet. In fact, for the first time I realized that I'd better talk with my sisters about using made-up names when working in this business.
Liz came bouncing up to us at that point. "Hey guys, getting a head start on me?" at that point she recognized our male companion. "Oh hey, Lucas, isn't it?"
"Thank you for remembering my name! I mistook your sister Ashleigh for you a short while ago and asked her if she was available for the evening. I'd certainly like to renew my request to you but I'm afraid that she's hoping that she can convince you to turn me down so she and Pins can spirit you away to do something 'sisterly'.
There, did I explain it fairly, Ashleigh?"
"Very much so. So what's it going to be Sis? Cash and sex or sisterly bonding?"
Liz looked in deep thought for a second and then said, "Can I throw out a counter-proposal?"
I thought I knew where she was heading so I said, "Definitely!"
As she was about to answer she looked at me and I gave her the tiniest of nods hoping she caught my acquiescence. "What I was thinking was, why do I need to be faced with a choice? I certainly like the idea of spending time with my sisters, Lucas, but I'd rather not disappoint you so is there any way you, or you and some friends, can hire all three of us for the night?"
I think Lucas saw this one coming as he answered fairly quickly, "I'm quite sure I can arrange that! Why don't we go up to the third floor conference level? There's a meeting about to end where I'm confident we can round up more members of your
