Chapter 9
"MAYBE HE WAS TRYING TO SAY IT WAS MEAT from a big horse, not a little pony." Marissa was leaning forward to yell in Beatrice's ear, over the heavy metal blasting from the stereo in the little Fiat. Beatrice was in the front seat, as usual. Nestor had gone off with Javert in the tiny Citroen in search of - what? Fresh whore's meat most likely, live and on the hoof. The fact that he had departed so casually, no goodbye kiss, not even a hug or an
au revoir...
Her phone pinged - payment from him, along with an itemized breakdown of services rendered.
"What's the matter now?"
Beatrice handed her
amica
the phone.
"Over a thousand euros and you're complaining?"
"I thought he liked me. The things he did to me, did
for
me, why would he do those things? Why would he make me..." Beatrice stopped short of saying 'love him'.
"Oh, now you have a crush on him? Like you did on that teacher? Signore Castalini? Who was married and wanted nothing to do with you?"
"That's not true. Once he came up behind me and put his arms around me and held my breasts."
"And?"
"He moved my hair to the side and kissed the back of my neck and said '
scusa'
."
"Sorry? What was he sorry for? That he was embracing you? Or that he wasn't going to fuck you?"
"I don't know."
"Look, suppose you did have another night with Birdy. What would either of you do as an encore?"
"You of all people would say that? My
amica
? You who have shared my bed so many nights?"
"Bea, you are a little girl who barely made it out of high school. He was probably at the top of his class in high school, at university, in his profession. How would you hold his interest for more than an evening?"
"Oh, I'm sure he and Javert are having a very refined conversation. They're probably inside there," she waved to a strip bar they were passing, "to do anatomical research. Who would think there'd be a market for a strip bar here? A live sex show? So what? Even for our little shows. Is there anything we do you couldn't see on the swinger beach?"
"People watch our shows from all over the planet," Rocco said. "Who knows, maybe this teacher, Signore Castrati..."
"Castalini."
"Signore Castalini. Maybe he's a fan now. You never told me about him."
"What? You're jealous? He had this beautiful beard, and he always dressed very elegantly, in a three piece suit. I used to watch those vintage movies, where the men are wearing three piece suits and they pull their cocks and balls all the way out of them and sodomize their ladies. When Birdy was doing that last night I was thinking
at last
.
At last
!"
"No beard though. I bet the beard would tickle if he was kissing you. Especially the way Birdy was kissing you."
"He was nice and smooth, like a girl. But such a powerful tongue. When are we doing the show?"
"At six."
"At this rate we won't be home by six." They had barely moved a block in the last ten minutes. "No time to get cleaned up."
"We can do a shower scene to start."
"That's not what I mean. To prepare ourselves for the anal." Which of course, she had neglected to do the night before. "Unless you're going to do it like the Japanese where they film all that."
"Maybe skip the enemas," Rocco said.
"The sheikh is paying us a fortune for a messy private show. You want to do a free one?"
"Okay. Okay. If there's to be any anal it's with Rachel."
"She was messy this morning."
"I told her to be ready for the show."
"And she knew what you meant?"
"Hopefully."
"This is going to be such a disaster."
They found Rachel waiting for them on the same bench were Andre had been sitting. She had removed the little waitress apron. Whatever clothes she might have were in a backpack sitting next to her on the bench. She looked very hot, very tired, and rather annoyed. "Where the fuck have you been?"
"You would not believe us," Beatrice said. "Did you know that our bodyguard is dead?"
"Yes, it's all over the news. But I got a text from Steve that you were still doing the show."
"We had to go to the morgue. Then Risa, I mean Trish, had to fuck the corpse so we could turn it over."
"What? You aren't making any sense."
"I told you that you wouldn't believe us."
They entered the apartment, and Risa emptied her shopping bag out onto the coffee table.
"What the fuck?" Rachel picked up the largest of the dildos. "You've got to be fucking kidding me."
"Watch!" Marissa took off her shoes, pulled up her skirt and got up on the table, squatting over it. But it wasn't budging.
"Lube?" Beatrice handed her the huge dispenser that was sitting right on the table.
"Yeah, I guess," Marissa grumbled. She dabbed just the barest amount on the top of the gigantic thing. You couldn't really call it a tip, it was a round half globe bigger than a tennis ball. Some of the dramatic effect was ruined, but she wasn't going to give up now. She put a hand on either side, then lifted her legs up and sideways. Impressive enough on its own, but then she lowered herself onto the gigantic thing until her inner thighs were on the table. "Just like that!" But she didn't dare take it back out in front of them. Instead she sort of waddled into the bathroom holding it inside her.
"Showoff." Beatrice went over to the sink to get a sponge to wipe up the drips, hopefully mostly of lube, left behind. "Good thing it's glass." Then she noticed a few more drips trailing off to the bathroom. Rachel was leaning over the table, trying to get her legs to do what Marissa's had. But she couldn't get them up far enough to clear the table top. It made her wonder how many couples had wound up in the emergency room trying to imitate Marissa's antics on the cam shows.
Rocco was looking at the clock up on the mantelpiece. They were running late and the ladies were running amok. "I still have everything set up from last night. Just have to do the logins and we're good to go. Why don't you three ladies get set up for a shower scene?"
For Rachel that meant talking off her shoes and socks. Not much more for the other two. The apartment building was actually meant to be a time share connected to the swinger hotel, with a hot tub on the balcony, and a huge walk-in shower in the master bathroom with shower heads at each end.
"Can we come in?" Beatrice knocked at the door which Marissa had closed.
"Sure." Marissa opened the door. Her sundress was hanging on the hooks on the back of the door, and the dildo, freshly cleaned, was sitting on the counter next to the sink. "Want to give it a try?"
"I, uh, need the toilet first," Rachel said. There was, of course, one in the bathroom, along with a bidet.
"If you need to pee, save it for the show and do it in the shower."
