"How soon can you be blonde again, Princess?" Sly had called me at my apartment.
Oh. Sorry. I shouldn't begin in the middle. Sly? He's my agent. His part of our little partnership is to find and vet clients for me. I don't know how he does it, and frankly, I don't want to know. His world is kind of scary. My part is a lot more fun: I provide sex. Well, part-time, anyway. Days, I'm a copy editor for a law firm in the city. And no, if you're wondering, they have no idea about my other job (thank heaven). I sometimes smile just imagining what their reaction would be if they ever found out.
"Um, I don't know exactly," I said, stalling for time. "Depends. How important is it?"
"Pretty,' he said. "You remember the balloon guy?"
I smiled. That was a fun job. I got to ride in a balloon with two handsome guys, make love at 2000 feet, and come away with a good chunk of money. Not bad.
"Sure," I said. "Why?"
"Well, the other guy that was with you that day contacted me."
"He wants a rematch? Fine by me, I guess. How about some details before I just say yes, though. Does this have anything to do with me going blonde?"
"Well, yeah. Seems that he remembers you looking a lot like Taylor Swift."
"Wow. Really? I'm flattered. So?"
"Well, she's blonde."
"Okay, good for her. C'mon, Sly, where's this going?"
"He has a friend who's a big fan of Taylor Swift. And not just her music."
"What's that... Oh."
"That's my girl, Princess. Not much gets by you these days when it comes to guys and sex. You've come a long way. Hey, you okay with some guy fucking you while he's pretending he's fucking somebody else?"
I was rather taken aback by Sly's sensitivity. He can really catch me off guard sometimes. To all appearances he's a big, tough guy, raised on the streets, hard as nails. But there's a lot more to him, as I continue to find out. I love that he takes care of me.
"Look, Sly, I'm a professional. My job is to make our clients happy. A good part of that is weaving fantasies for them. My personal feelings don't enter into it unless the guy's a real creep or something. And anyway, that's
your
job to not let that happen."
"Great, Princess. You're a trouper. It's an incall job, too. You'll like that. Can you be here and blonde by next Thursday?"
Rats. I'd rather enjoyed being a mysterious "raven-haired beauty" the last month or so. Several clients had really liked the look. Then too, now I'd need some excuse for the law firm when I showed up blonde. Oh well. Comes with the job, I suppose.
"I'll be there".
Sly opened the door to his apartment when I knocked. He took a step back before letting me in. He stood there, appraising me, looking me up and down with a thoughtful expression.
"Nice," he said at last. "I love the eyes. Just like her. How'd you manage that?"
"Girl secret," I said, just to wind him up a little. I take guilty pleasure in winding the big guy up on occasion, knowing I can get away with it where few others could. Actually, I had hired a discrete makeup artist I found on the web. Jesus, you can find
anything
on Google. Given what Sly had told me of what the client was offering, that expense was trivial. Still, I had spent a lot of time in front of a mirror with Taylor Swift's picture pasted to it, putting the finishing touches on. Luckily, I do look a lot like her, same height and general build, though I'm somewhat bustier, if I have to say so myself. That, I wasn't going to hide, though; I doubted the client would mind.
"Whatever. The outfit is in the bedroom. We got a half hour before the guy shows up. Go put it on."
As I've said before, Sly and I have this tacit agreement that I don't strip in front of him. Helps me to keep the relationship professional. Of course, Sly thinks it's dumb, but he goes along with it out of respect, or maybe just to keep me happy. In either case, I do appreciate it.
The outfit was a knockout. It was skintight, one piece, shoulder to crotch, covered in gold and silver sequins. It had a dramatically low scooped neckline and a built-in bra that lifted up and accentuated my breasts very nicely. It fit me perfectly. Sly really has my measurements down pat. There were matching stockings and knee-high boots with three-inch heels. They shaped my already long legs beautifully. It really did look like something Taylor Swift would wear, at least if she could get by the censors with it.
Now I don't know if this is the case for Ms. Swift's outfits, but mine had zippers and snaps in strategic locations that promised to allow the outfit to be peeled off in one smooth motion. I liked it. Very clever and, may I say, quite functional.
I spent some time admiring myself in the mirror until Sly yelled "Come on, Princess! We don't got all day. Client's gonna be here soon. I want to check you out before that."
Yeah, I'll bet he did. Good thing we've kept a 'look but don't touch' relationship. I mean, I like Sly, but I prefer to keep it professional between us, with only an occasional lapse, and those on my terms.
When I came out, he looked me up and down carefully. His eyes narrowed and then got wide. He smiled.
"Christ, Princess. If I didn't know better, I'd think you really
was
Taylor Swift." He leered. "And a very sexy Taylor Swift at that."
"Down boy," I said. "Save it for the paying customers."
"Yeah, yeah."
We sat on the couch for a few minutes, mostly discussing business (strange to do in that outfit!) until the doorbell announced the client. I arranged myself demurely on the couch (legs crossed, shoulders back, chin up) while Sly let the guy in.
This looked promising. He was in his mid to late twenties, pretty good looking, clean-shaven, slightly built. He looked a little shy, which I liked. Not the first client to need a little encouragement, which is always kind of fun.
When Sly stepped aside, the guy's eyes grew really wide.
"Oh Jesus!" he said. "She's perfect!"
I smiled. What girl doesn't like compliments?
I watched as money changed hands, and then Sly laid out a few rules for the guy and retired to the bedroom, presumably to count the money (several times).
