Tanya Wise was dressing for bed when the call came in. She almost let it go to voicemail before she saw it was from Leo Tims, her co-worker and best friend with benefits.
"What's on your mind, Leo?" She asked hopefully.
"May I ask you to drop everything and go somewhere?"
"With you? Certainly," she replied. "What's the occasion?"
"It's Camille. She's left her husband and needs an intervention."
Tanya was already throwing some items into her overnight bag while they talked. "Oh, well. It will be nice to see Cammie again. Too bad it isn't under better circumstances."
"Bad circumstances for her. But it's an ill wind..." He didn't need to finish the idiom. "Mr Smith, ah, forced himself on her, anally. So if you could bring a proctoscope and whatever items might be helpful?"
"Yes, of course. Where and when do you want me?"
"Palmer Airfield, hangar twenty-three, about an hour?"
Tanya opened the car service app on her phone and tapped the summon button. "We're not taking the company plane?"
"No. I don't want to get your father involved."
"He'll be pissed. But you're probably in the right. I'll see in an hour, my love."
Leo sighed on the other end of the connection. "See you then... love."
She dressed simply but elegantly before the car arrived. She arranged her hair and put on a touch of makeup during the drive to the airfield. In the reflection of the town car's window she smoothed and tucked the wayward ends of her outfit. Thanking the driver, she strolled into the hangar.
Leo was waiting for her at the private jet's stairs. He looked as pressed and powdered as if he stepped off the cover of Gentleman's Quarterly. She offered her cheek for him to kiss and let him help her aboard. It wasn't as nice as the company plane, of course. But it was well-appointed and the crew were eager to please.
They sat together as the plane taxied to the runway and Leo spread a blanket across their laps. Tanya considered suggesting they make love on the flight but she knew he was saving his energy for Cammie. She was too, to be honest. So with her head on his shoulder and his head on hers they took advantage of the opportunity for sleep.
They were met at the hotel entrance by the concierge herself, an attractive and efficient-looking woman who introduced herself as Gretchen. Leo apologized for calling her out in the middle of the night but she assured him it was a pleasure to serve.
"That's why I always choose the Continental when I'm here," he said as she led them through the lobby to the bank of elevators.
On the ride up she listed the accommodations they had made for their guest. "She hasn't really asked for much."
"She wouldn't, of course. We appreciate everything you've done." Leo produced a folded slip of paper from his pocket and handed it to her. "Please have someone fulfill that list when the stores open. Wise Automation will cover all expenses and gratuities for your staff."
"Thank you very much, sir," Gretchen replied. She glanced at the list before slipping it into her pocket.
The elevator stopped on the fourteenth floor and Gretchen led them to the door at the end of the hallway. Applying her key card, she announced their presence and held the door open for them before taking her leave.
Tanya and Leo found Cammie soaking in the whirlpool bath, her arms draped over the rim of the tub. Tanya's eyes were drawn to the woman's pendulous breasts where they bobbed in the roiling water. Cammie smiled at them and that made everything right.
"Guys," she said, "You didn't have to come. But I'm so glad to see you."
"Of course," replied Tanya, "Of course we had to come, Camille. May we, ah, join you?"
"Please do," she said and closed her eyes meditatively.
The two of them began to disrobe without hesitation. Leo had a nervous look on his face. Tanya knew that he was self-conscious about his naked body. Not that he had anything to be ashamed of. He was lean, chiseled, flawless. But he was one of those who felt that clothes made the man and without his clothes he was at a disadvantage. Tanya heard herself groan slightly when his pants came off and his beautiful semi-rigid penis emerged from his boxers.
Once naked, the two shared a private smile before Leo helped her into the tub then climbed in behind her. They sat down on either side of Cammie, facing each other. The water was warm and the jets were invigorating and the early tendrils of dawn could be seen through the Continental's floor-to-ceiling windows. Three pairs of legs tangled together under the water and Tanya could feel her excitement warming up.
"Did you get any sleep last night?" Leo asked Cammie.
"I did, yes. Thank you for arranging this suite for me. I would have gone for something more affordable but I'm glad I didn't."
"Oh no, Cammie. Only the best for our girl from now on." Leo put his hand on hers and began casually petting her arm. "Now, do you feel like telling us what happened last night?"
Cammie sighed and gave them a brief account, told them how one moment she and her husband Edwin were sharing a blissful moment of intercourse and the next he was sodomizing her with a can of Reddi-Wip and then his penis. No warning, he just pinned her down and stuck it in.
"I'm sorry you had to go through that," Tanya said and slid her hand between Cammie's knees to comfort her.
"He's done things like that before," Cammie replied, "but I just thought... it would be different now."
"Do you think additional relationship counseling would be helpful?" Leo asked.
"No, I don't," Cammie's eyes were downcast at the thought. "It's not just what happened last night. I thought things would be different but he's been worse than ever since I got back from the modeling process."
"So it's over then? If you intend to divorce him you can count on the company's resources to support you."
"I do intend to divorce him. But he has resources too and he's so vindictive I'm afraid he will bleed us both dry in the process."
Tanya laughed. "He may not have the resources you think he does."
Leo gave her an arch look. Cammie looked at her questioningly.
"Our employer... my father, Carter, foresaw this trouble in your marriage and he got, shall we say, creative with your agreement. You and your husband did not read the fine print nearly as well as you should have."
"He... tricked us?"
"For your own good, promise." Tanya slid her hand mid-way up Cammie's thigh and gave it a gentle squeeze. "The bulk of income from sales of your femme-borg model is being paid into an irrevocable trust. You don't own it and can't control it."
"Tanya and I are the trustees," Leo chimed in. His hand had moved up her arm and was massaging her bare shoulder. "We had no intention to cheat you. We only wanted to see how things went for you at home."
"The trust has over four million dollars so far," Tanya continued. "It is invested in a blend of mutual funds and Wise Automation preferred stock. For legal reasons, I can't say it's your money. But, I can say you are a person of consequence. I'm confident Edwin can be persuaded to keep the money he has now and fuck the hell off."
