Mike enjoyed his last few days of the quiet life before Mr & Mrs Leigh returned. It wasn't that they were too demanding when they were at home, but they did expect their staff to do that for which they were paid. When they returned, routine was soon established and life continued placidly.
As his next days off neared, Mike made plans to return to the City, chiefly in order to collect his beloved BMW motorcycle. On the due day, Lenny dropped him off at the Jitney stop and just as the bus approached, his cell phone rang. It was Joanne Leigh.
"Michael, is that you?"
"Yes, Miss Joanne."
"Are you headed back to the City?"
"I am indeed, Miss, but I can't talk now as the Jitney has just arrived, and they have a strict policy on cell phone usage."
"Would you call me when you get in? I have a favor to ask."
"I certainly will, Miss, but I have to go now as the Jitney's here."
Mike climbed into the cool bus, and settled into the comfortable leather seat. He was more than happy to pay the extra for the Ambassador Service, as it was so much more civilized. Why, you even got a glass – well, plastic – of wine.
It being a weekday, the journey was uneventful and darkness was just falling as Mike walked the few blocks from the bus stop on 3rd Avenue to the Leigh's apartment on 5th. He let himself in, went into his little sitting room, poured himself a glass of wine and pressed Joanne's speed dial. She obviously had his number programmed into her own phone, as she greeted him by name when she replied.
"Michael? Are you in town now?"
"Yes, Miss Joanne. What can I do for you?"
"Michael, my girl friend had to come to New York on a business trip, and I came with her. I left a set of earrings in my Uncle's apartment on my last visit. I can't think how that happened – I must have got distracted. Anyway, could you find them and bring them over to our hotel this evening?"
Mike affirmed that he could, of course, do this small task, and she gave him a description of the earrings and the name of her hotel. Mike checked the guest room, and found that the housekeeper had put the jewelry, which she obviously didn't recognize, in a prominent place with a note addressed to him. He thought that he might as well get cleaned up before he went out, so that he could stay out after his errand if he wished. He shaved, took a shower, and dressed himself in a pair of black leather pants, a black shirt and lightweight black sport coat. He admired himself in the mirror, and thought of a couple of trendy spots in the Village whom he might deign to grace with his patronage later on.
He took a cab to Joanne Leigh's hotel, where he gave his name to the Security Guard, who made a phone call.
"You're to go right up, Sir. It's room 2047."
Mike hopped in the elevator, found the room quite easily and knocked on the door. It opened, and a complete stranger with a towel wrapped round her head peered out at him.
"Are you Michael?"
"Yes, I am."
"Oh, Hi! I'm Jo's friend, Miriam. Do you have her earrings? Come on in, she'll be out of the shower in a minute."
She opened the door, and Mike walked past her into the large room. Miriam followed him, and crossed the room to call into the bathroom, "Jo, honey, Michael's here. I'll give him a drink while he waits for you." Miriam crossed the room, her long Shanghai Tang bathrobe clinging to what Mike could see was a stunning body.
"Red wine?"
Mike nodded, she brought the wine over and indicated to Mike where he should sit on the couch. As he sipped his wine, Miriam reached up and loosened the towel around her head. "I hope you don't mind, but Jo will be hogging the dryer for a few minutes." She used the towel to rub her shortish, blonde hair dry and to pat it into some kind of shape.
"I hear you ride a motorcycle. I was quite a bike fan for a while." Miriam said by way of a small talk ice breaker, and on Mike telling her what sort of bike he had they spent the next few minutes comparing notes and discussing the relative merits of BMW machines as against Harley Davidsons, or, "Hardly Rideables" as Mike somewhat scathingly called them. Unbidden, Miriam refilled Mike's wine glass as the level sank. Mike noticed this, and slowed down his sip rate. He also noticed that as she leant forward with the bottle, a little more cleavage was revealed each time.
Eventually, the bathroom door opened, and Joanne emerged. She was also wearing a silk robe, but hers was far shorter than Miriam's showing a great deal of her curvaceous thighs. Mike rose to greet her, and the exchanged pecks on the cheek and Mike handed over the earrings.
"That's so good of you to bring these over on your day off.."
"Not at all, Miss Joanne. It's no trouble at all."
Joanne stood back and looked at him. Her arms were crossed, as she held her robe closed. She looked across at Miriam, who poured some more wine for the three of them, and the two women held hands and looked at Mike in silence. He was starting to feel a little uncomfortable.
"Miriam took a gulp of her wine, "Shit, Jo, you're right. He does look good in those leather pants."
Joanne looked at her girl friend, "You should see him out of them."
"And you say he gives good head?"
"Miriam, baby, he's almost better than you."
"No shit! And I learned from the best, Jo, you."
The two women put down their wine glasses and embraced warmly. Breaking off their kiss and panting slightly, they looked each other in the eyes and approached Mike until one was standing on each side. They each took a lapel of his coat and eased it from his shoulders before draping it over the back of a chair. Mike stood still, a little unsure as to what was expected of him. He noticed that the two women's robes had become a little disheveled, and he could see most of Joanne's left breast and the dark triangle between her thighs that he remembered so well. Each woman kissed his cheek and he found his head being pulled towards Joanne, who kissed him on the lips. Pulled the other way, he found himself in an open mouth kiss with Miriam, whose tongue rapidly invaded his mouth and darted around. He could feel two sets of arms embracing him, and busy fingers undoing his shirt buttons then running through his chest hair. His shirt joined his jacket, and as Joanne pulled him round for a kiss, he felt Miriam's hands running over his leather covered butt and up and down his legs a few times, each time getting closer to his groin.
