It was ten o'clock Friday, and I had just finished a business dinner at the Lola Bistro in Downtown Cleveland. The dinner went well, and I thought we had an excellent chance at winning the design work for a new office building to be constructed in Columbus. I have been working on this business opportunity for well over a year. Our proposal was excellent, as well as our design. I expected that we would be awarded the project the next day.
I walked with my prospective client Bill Morse back to his hotel. He was staying at the Ritz-Carlton a couple of blocks away from the restaurant. It was convenient for me as well, as my office was nearby. We decided to have one more drink, so we ordered a nightcap at the Turn Bar and Kitchen in the hotel. I'd insisted on paying for dinner, so Bill insisted on picking up the bar tab. Strangely, the bar was not as crowded as I expected for a Friday evening, but this was a business hotel and most people travel back home on Fridays. We each ordered a scotch. I surveyed the bar, which was mostly made up of male businessmen.
"How long will it take you to get home from here?" Bill asked.
"This time of night, about 40 minutes," I replied. I commuted by car back and forth from my home.
"Where do you live again?" Bill asked.
"Chagrin Falls, east of here," I replied as I sipped my drink.
"Nice Area?" Bill inquired.
"Yes, very. It is a lovely community. My wife's family is from that area. She has lived there her whole life," I said.
My wife was born in Chagrin and went to school there until college when she went to Ohio State in Columbus, where we met as seniors. I got a job with an architectural firm in Cleveland after graduation, we got married that summer and moved to Chagrin that fall.
"How are Donna and the boys?" Bill asked. We had spent most of the dinner talking about sports and had not spoken about family.
"Fine, fine. The boys are away for summer camp for the week and Donna is taking some art classes," I shared. I also told Bill that during summer break from her elementary classes, Donna was volunteering at her father's church.
I asked Bill about his family. He had two boys and two girls. Two had graduated from college. One was going into his second year at Clemson, and his youngest was going to be a high school senior. He spent several minutes updating me on his kids' various activities.
After taking the last sip of his remaining scotch, he looked at his watch and smiled at me. "I better let you go home. With no kids, it's a wonderful opportunity to spend some couples time with the wife," Bill winked at me as he said this.
"Yes, it is," I lied.
The reality is that Donna and I were having some serious marital problems. Donna was the only daughter of a strict Baptist minister. She was a virgin on our wedding night and was taught to think of sex as a necessary evil. Lovemaking was always conducted missionary style, with her eyes closed, in the dark. We had sex maybe once a week until our two boys were born and then our sex life changed for the worse. We then had sex maybe once every other month and now recently not for nine months. Oddly, Donna seemed to enjoy sex at certain times in the past. She rarely drank (another sin), and during those rare situations when she consumed more than two glasses of alcohol, her sexuality increased dramatically. With enough booze, Donna seemed to enjoy, and sometimes even crave, sex. It was during a couple of those infrequent situations she gave me oral sex.
My wife Donna had short blonde hair and was extremely attractive, but she never dressed in a way that took full advantage of her looks. She dressed like a preacher's daughter. I bought her provocative outfits, negligees, 'Come Fuck Me (CFM)' shoes and begged her to wear them, but she refused.
Two weeks ago, I had confronted Donna about our sex life (or lack thereof). I told her that I could not live this way and I that I had considered having an affair. I confessed that I'd had lots of opportunities, but I hadn't broken my wedding vows, yet. She broke down in tears. She told me she loved me and would do anything I wanted to keep us together. I suggested she go for professional counseling. Donna agreed and found a therapist that specialized in women's sexual issues. She was in full day therapy sessions all week in Cincinnati, not the art classes I had told Bill about. I loved my wife and hoped this might change things, but honestly, I didn't think it would.
"Well, I better let you get going," Bill said, giving me the thumbs up with a smile and then paying the bar tab.
We said our goodbyes. Bill headed to the elevator and I headed to the restroom.
After relieving myself, I returned to the bar. Donna had told me she would not be back home until tomorrow. I was feeling depressed, so I decided I could have one more drink before I left for home. The bartender poured me another scotch. I was staring blankly at the back of the bar when I heard a female voice next to me. It was coming from a tall, attractive, long-haired brunette. She was wearing a short tight black skirt with a red silk top that showed off her cleavage. A black lace brassiere peeked under the top of her blouse and sheer black stockings with 4-inch black CFM shoes. I guessed her age to be about thirty-five, close to my age. Her makeup was both sexy and tasteful, and she had on red lipstick to match her blouse.
I was a bit dazed, and she repeated with a smile, "Would you mind if I sat here?"
"Yes, please do," I stammered.
She smiled shyly and took the seat next to me. As she did, I could smell her perfume, which was a nice scent and not overpowering, just a soft feminine scent with a hint of vanilla. She was holding a small purse, which she sat gently on the bar.
I watched out of the corner of my eye as she ordered a glass of champagne. Once the flute was delivered, she took a sip. She put her glass down, turned to me and said, "My name is Paula. What's yours?".
I turned to her. "Phil," I replied.
"Nice to meet you Phil, have we met before?" she asked.
"I don't think so," I replied, and continued, "I am sure I would have remembered you."
"How sweet," she said, and finished her glass of champagne.
"May I buy you another?" I asked. Maybe that was too direct, I thought.
"Thank you, yes," she replied.
I got the bartender's attention and ordered Paula another glass.
"Phil, are you from Cleveland?" she asked.
"I live in the Cleveland area, but I am from Pittsburgh originally," I offered. "And you?"
"Las Vegas. And what do you do for a living?" she asked, drinking more from her flute.
"Architect. And you?" I countered.
She stayed quiet for several seconds, and then leaned over to me and said in a low voice, "I am an entertainer." She sat back up, smiled at me and took another drink.
Wow. I thought. Paula must be a Las Vegas showgirl. "Do you perform at one of the casinos?" I asked innocently.
Paula laughed and said "No. Not exactly." She then drained the rest of her champagne.
I was puzzled. "Where do you entertain?" I asked and motioned for the bartender to refill her glass.
"All over," she said coyly.
"Are you performing in Cleveland?" I probed.
She laughed and said, "Well I guess you could say that." She took a sip of the drink the bartender had just set in front of her. It was her third.
I took another look at Paula's legs they looked great. She had well-shaped calves. I took another glass of scotch and probed again, "Specifically, what type of entertaining do you do?"
She looked at the bartender who was at the other end of the bar and then behind her and leaned over and whispered in my ear, "I am a personal entertainer." She emphasized the word personal and sat back up and finished her third drink. She motioned to the bartender for another.
And then it finally dawned on me, Paula was a prostitute! Being from the Midwest, and a boy scout, I had never met an actual hooker before. "Oh," I said in surprise.
Paula smiled and leaned over and whispered again into my ear, "Would you like some company this evening?" She waited for my reply.
I did not know what to say. I leaned over and said quietly, "I am married."
"So?" she asked.
"I have never cheated on my wife," I admitted.
"Never?" she asked.
"Never," I said firmly.
Paula looked at me and continued, "So you get everything you want at home, huh?"
I looked her in the eyes and shook my head no.
"Well then, would you like to get it here?" she said with a wicked smile, as the bartender poured her fourth glass of champagne.
"I am not sure," I stammered.
"It is up to you," she replied, drinking some of her fourth glass of bubbly, "I think you would enjoy it."
She then kissed me on the cheek and at the same time took her right hand and rubbed my crotch. As soon as she touched me, an electric shock when through my entire body. God, she was so sexy and beautiful. I could feel my cock begin to grow in my pants.
"Are you sure?" she asked as she began to discreetly rub my member.
My head was spinning. I thought about my nine-months without sex, and I leaned over to her ear and asked, "How would this work?".
"Five-hundred for the first hour all-inclusive GFE," She said quietly back.
"GFE?" I asked.
"You ARE new at this," she said, and continued "Girl Friend Experience."
"I don't have five-hundred on me," I replied quietly.
