The phone in the kitchen rang, and as usual I ignored it. Three rings in, I realized that Kim wasn't going to pick it up, so I stumbled out of my chair and leapt for the handset, hoping to beat the answering machine to the pick up.
"Hello?" I answered, slightly annoyed. Chances are at this hour it was going to be a telemarketer anyway.
"Larry?" said a somewhat familiar voice. I tried to place it, but came up short. It didn't sound like a telemarketer, so I replied.
"Yes."
"Hi Larry, this is Brenda. We met at the club in Nevada?" She phrased it as a question, but I knew who it was as soon as she said her name.
"Hi Brenda. How are you?" I replied, hoping that she was in town and horny.
"Oh, I'm great. I just came into town to see an old roommate, but she doesn't get back into town until Sunday. If you and Kim are around, I'd love to get together."
"Um, sure thing," was my response, but I had no idea how Kim would take it. "When?"
"Well, I'm free tonight. I'm at the Marriott and have a rental car, so if you gave me directions I could pop on over. If it's cool with you and all..."
I needed to stall for just a second. I thought it was cool, but needed to feel out Kim. Having meteoric sex with a high end call girl at an out-of-state brothel was one thing; inviting her over to your house was something else entirely.
"Hey Brenda, can you hang on for just a sec? Let me see what Kim is up for?"
"Sure thing, Larry."
I put the phone on hold and padded back to the bedroom. I caught Kim on the exercise bike.
"Hey babe," I said, trying to sound calm, "Brenda is on the phone."
"Brenda?" Kim asked, "You mean Brenda from the Sportin' Club?"
"Yep – that Brenda," I answered, even though the total population of Brendas in our list of friends and relatives was exactly one, "She wants to know if it's OK to pay us a visit. She's in town and can come over tonight."
I expected a pause, or even some slight uncertainty. Instead, Kim greeted me with an enthusiastic "Sure, but if she's close I'd better jump in the shower." So much for any nagging doubts.
Thumbing the phone back to life I said, "Kim says she'd love to see you" and proceeded to give her directions. Like Pavlov's dogs, I was beginning to exhibit a conditioned response to the sound of her voice. Mine had nothing to do with salivation.
I cracked a bottle of red wine to breathe and put some Robert Cray on the stereo. Pouring myself two fingers of bourbon, I tossed it back and waited for the night to unfold.
Kim came out of the bedroom wearing a little black dress and a mischievous grin. I couldn't help myself, so I asked, "What are you wearing underneath that? You look hot, by the way."
Kim glanced at me and smiled. Turning away from me she bent over and ran her hands down her legs. When they got to her ankles, the dress had hiked up enough to reveal that she wasn't wearing anything underneath it. Her magnificent ass came into view, and she asked me, "I hope this is OK."
"You look fucking amazing," was my response. I was thankful I'd downed the bourbon, because my nerves were already on edge. Clearly, there was no doubt in Kim's mind about what would happen here. Still, I thought it best to raise the issue.
"Are you sure you're OK with this?" I asked.
"I'm sure.," was Kim's reply. Issue settled.
The stereo belted out lyrics about playing in the dirt, and I was trying to decide if another bourbon would be a good idea when the doorbell rang. Kim rose from the couch, looked me in the eye and said, "Let's go greet our guest."
Brenda stood in the harsh light of the motion sensor on the back deck, dressed in faded jeans and a black sweater. Any fears I had about the neighbors were laid to rest; dressed as she was, Brenda looked more like a PTA mom than a high priced hooker. I opened the door to let her in and said, "Hi Brenda, you look great. C'mon in."
Brenda stepped up to me and gave me a hug and a kiss on the cheek. "Thanks, Larry, and thanks for having me over. I was a little nervous about calling you guys."
Kim greeted Brenda as soon as she stepped in the kitchen. "Hi Brenda, it's great to see you again." They hugged and kissed each other on the cheek, and Brenda presented Kim with a bottle wrapped in silver Mylar. In case she needed to explain herself, Brenda said, "I hate to show up empty handed. I'd love a glass if you feel like opening it now."
I took the bottle from Kim, uncorked it and poured us all a glass of Chianti. The cabernet I'd opened earlier would have to wait, and I had no doubt that we'd blow through both bottles in no time. Ever the gracious host, I said "Let's head to the living room. I'll throw a fire in the fireplace to take the chill off."
Kim sat on the couch and Brenda took the cushion next to her. That left one available for me, and I was silently thankful that neither opted for the love seat. Taking the easy way out, I chose a wax and sawdust firelog over real wood. Sure, it lacked a little atmosphere – but I didn't want the job of tending a fire all night long. A few minutes of fumbling produced a satisfying flame, so I took my seat on the couch next to Brenda.
We talked through the first bottle of wine and into the second, and we ran out of small talk just before we ran out of wine. I was about to ask if anyone needed a refill when Kim leaned over and kissed Brenda, gently at first, but with rapidly increasing urgency. Their tongues danced, and they paused only occasionally to catch their breath. Brenda's hand found Kim's breast, and she began to trace slow circles over Kim's nipple. I watched it stiffen and poke through the sheer fabric of her black dress. My own hand fumbled for Brenda's breast, but her sweater was too bulky to transmit any sensation of touch.
