I had been initiated into the Freyja Club for almost a year and I had fallen into a routine of sorts. While it did require some planning, I had been able to visit the club in Washington a couple of days a month. Even though I had been initiated in Paris, I had so far been able to visit clubs in New York, Tokyo, and recently in Miami, but if I had a 'home club' it had to be the one on P Street in the Georgetown section of Washington.
While I had met and bedded several ladies there, I had developed somewhat of a 'special relationship' with Michelle, one of the club's bartenders. In fact, she had been the first person I'd encountered there when I had first called to set up my initial visit. Since then we had gone to bed together twice; once in the club and a second time when she asked me to cuckold her husband.
As I began to chronicle my visits to the club, I started to gather information on some of the people I was meeting and so it was that I had recently finished a biography of sorts about Michelle's journey to the club.
I had been writing erotic stories for some years, mostly on long extended trips but I'd never attempted to write anything from a woman's point of view. I was aware that women approached sex very differently than men and I had refrained from writing for that reason, however after a four-year affair with Jennifer and my recent experiences in the Freyja Clubs I was developing some newfound confidence. I had recently taken the plunge and tried my hand by writing about Michelle.
I remember the night that I first placed my manuscript in her hands and asked her to read it and correct anything that I'd gotten wrong. I think my hands were literally shaking.
A month later, she told me that it was 'wonderful.' She had shared it with her husband Tom and my humble story had sparked his imagination to the point that not only did he want to meet me, but he wanted to watch Michelle and myself make love. Talk about unexpected consequences.
So, here's what I wrote, and now that I've broken the ice, I'm busy organizing my notes to do the same with some of the other fantastic women who've become a big part of my life in the last year. Enjoy...
*********
MICHELLE
I'm originally from Bettendorf, the smallest of the Quad Cities in Iowa. My father was a druggist and my mother tried to make a living as a piano teacher. I was six when they divorced and for some reason I found myself living with my paternal grandparents. It wasn't until years later that I discovered the events that led to that, but by the time I did, it was irrelevant.
I was my parent's only child that I know of, but when you hear my story I'm sure you'll understand why I might be hedging on that topic. As a young teen, I was very shy and introverted and didn't have many friends. My interests were in books and art. As a result, when what friends I had were having fun, I was absorbed in my studies. For sure, all work and no play made Michelle a dull girl, but it did make me the class valedictorian, and as a result, I was offered a full four-year scholarship to attend DePaul University in Chicago.
Before I go there, let me tell you what I found out about my parents. Apparently, I was a love child. I learned that my parent's wedding anniversary was in February of 1955, but I was born the following June and I didn't think I was five months premature. I learned my mother was an inveterate alcoholic and had left my father, and ran off with another man just about the time he got busted for selling amphetamines without a prescription. I guess the fact that he was serving time at Ft. Madison was one reason he couldn't take care of me. My grandparents were wonderful people and I owe them a great deal of gratitude. Unfortunately, both have now passed and I feel like I had no family left.
I enrolled in DePaul intending to study art. It was both a passion and an aptitude. While there, I continued to do well academically, but I was still too shy to attract much in the way of male interest. My body was developing into womanhood, but I had received precious little guidance on how to cope with the changes that were taking place.
What tends to be true of artists is doubly true of art students; we are doomed to starve. To eke out enough money to cover the things my scholarship didn't, I needed a job and the most common calling for women in my situation was to become a waitress. I was first employed part-time at the age of nineteen by a restaurant on Western Avenue. It wasn't the nicest section of Chicago, but it wasn't far from the University and truthfully it wasn't as bad as some people said it was.
While not germane to my story, a hundred years ago this very street was considered the edge of what was called the American Frontier. If you were east of Western Avenue, you were in Chicago. On the other side, Indian Country.
In my new employment, I honestly didn't know what to expect, but I found that I loved it. People came in and talked to me, just like I was a normal person. Soon, I recognized who the regulars were and we developed a familiar banter that I enjoyed immensely. Most of the time, the restaurant was your typical family eatery; except at lunchtime on Wednesdays.
We were located in a district where our lunchtime clientele were mostly men drawn from the small offices, factories, and shops that abounded on Western Avenue. A special draw for these people was the "Wednesday Fashion Show." As you might expect the "fashion show," was simply a euphemism for a bunch of twentysomething young women to parade around in skimpy lingerie which did little to cover their naked tits underneath. Apparently, bras we're not "in fashion."
I had been told about the "fashion show," but the first time I witnessed it, my eyes dropped out of my sockets and rolled down my cheeks. By and large, the women were beautiful and they seemed to enjoy the effect that their semi-naked bodies were having on the customers. There was a strict 'no touch' rule and Jeff, the bartender, who was a former tackle for the Bears was there to make sure it was observed.
After the exposure for some number of weeks, I gradually became accustomed to the near nudity and my mind began to fantasize. Could I ever show my own body so provocatively to hundreds of strangers as the half dozen women who were recruited every Wednesday? My rational brain screamed no, but at night with one hand pinching my nipples and my other between my legs diddling my clit, I wasn't so sure. Sometimes I would talk to the girls and I found that they weren't so different from me. Many were students at Northwestern or Loyola of Chicago and a couple from my own DePaul. They told me that they made $250 for the two hours they worked and when I compared that to the $4 an hour that I was making, it didn't seem crazy after all.
When I turned twenty-one, I was allowed to work behind the bar, and soon Jeff was teaching me the fine art of mixology. I was a quick study, so in no time I became a full-time bartender and was making three times the money I made as a simple waitress. If anything, the regulars talked more to the barkeep, and over several months I lost almost all of the shyness that had plagued my social life for as long as I could remember.
It was about this time that Tom walked into my life. I hadn't seen him before he showed up and ordered a beer. He was as shy as I had been and it took him three visits to say anything to me other than his drink order. One afternoon he was my only customer and we fell into an actual conversation. It turned out that he was doing something with computers at a nearby company. He had just moved to Chicago from Milwaukee and had originally had a scholarship to the University of Chicago, but had dropped out after one semester. His excuse? He said he knew more than the professors who were teaching Computer Science there, so rather than waste his time, he decided to get a job.
The company he worked for was engaged in a big project with IBM to rewrite one of the basic computer programming languages, FORTRAN. Tom was writing most of the code for what would be called FORTRAN 77 when it was released the next year. As an art major, what I knew about computers and languages was absolutely zero, but I'd nod my head like I understood what Tom was talking about. This is an acquired skill of all bartenders. Eventually after his sixth visit, and after fifty hints from me, he finally built up the courage to ask me out on a date.
Tom's idea of a date was to just walk around Navy Pier and get a couple of hot dogs. For sure, it was perhaps one of the more underwhelming dates in history, but there was something that made it impossible to stay mad at him. I got my first kiss on the second date and he built up his courage to cup my breast through a sweater on the third. Actually, if I was honest with myself, I had no room to complain. What girl waits until she's twenty-one to go out on her first date?
