Chapter 38. Laura
Barry was a middle age single man with a daughter in college. He was a science teacher at a high school but his salary was not enough to finance his kid in her university even with her scholarship. He did not need that much more, basically just fees and books but he did not have the money for them.
He did not want to work a second job all the time so he ended up being a male escort. Working once a week would get him the money he needed. He got one hundred and fifty dollars plus tips.
He liked going places without having to pay and he liked the company of women.
He was tall, handsome, with a bit of grey at his temples. He was a fan of the symphony and the baseball team. He liked rock concerts and operas. He was a good dancer.
Most of his clients were middle age or older women and most wanted sex. He was a very good lover and made sure the ladies felt loved and had at least one orgasm. Several of the women were married and none pretended otherwise to him. Several had introduced him to their husband as a friend of a friend.
All women that had Barry for an escort once asked for him by name on subsequent calls.
That name was Mark.
His wife had died twelve years before and he had not dated anyone outside the escort service. He was still in love with her so he saw no point to relationships. To him the fucks were just part of the job and he was glad to have them.
His daughter Miki knew what he did for extra money and found it amusing. She was twenty-one years old and would begin her senior university year in the fall. She was very happy he did not take jobs when she was home during school breaks. She had not asked him to do that for her, he just did.
It was summer vacation when his agent called and said, "I know you don't work summers but I have a situation. A woman asked for you but I explained you did not work when your daughter was home. I sent her Lance. She called me this morning in tears saying that Lance was just a kid and treated her like a piece of meat. She had to fight off his sexual advances.
She insisted I give her your number so she could talk to you.
I told her that we did not do that but she made me promise to give you her name and number."
Barry was flattered. He thought about it for a few moments then sighed and asked for her name and number. He hoped he could reason with her.
As it turned out she was the one he remembered and liked best.
He in fact liked her well enough that if she had lived in town he would have dated her, the only one for whom he felt that way.
She was a paleontologist that had made an important find and was in town to lecture at the Museum of Natural Science. He and his daughter had tickets for it. His daughter Miki idolized her but he had never told his daughter he knew her.
He called her and it went directly to voice mail. He said, "Hi Laura, this is Barry. My daughter and I will be in your audience this afternoon. She is looking forward to meeting you. I will be happy to see you again. Bye."
Dr. Laura Ballard was Miki's hero. Even though he had cautioned his daughter that there were no jobs for paleontologists she had insisted to include it as a major. Fortunately she was also getting a teaching certificate in science.
Barry had given his daughter Laura's newest book as a birthday present and Miki was taking it to the museum hoping she could get it autographed.
Laura was a handsome, tall, slim, athletic, talented, shorthaired redheaded woman. She had a wicked sense of humor but most of the barbs were self-inflicted.
On their first tryst she expected to be fucked and be left alone but instead he had made love to her. He took her to many orgasms before he had his. He had curled up to her and kissed her shoulder as she fell asleep and stayed with her overnight.
He loved her again in the morning and showered with her. He had joined her for breakfast.
It was her last night in the city on that trip.
She was very much affected by him. He got a big tip.
He puzzled himself with the extra perks for nothing. Staying overnight was always extra and he had paid for breakfast without thinking about it. Her tip had more than covered his expenses anyway.
He did admit to himself she was special.
She returned five months later for a museum fundraiser. She was in town for three nights and she had contracted him for all three. Before Barry most of Laura's escorts were women. Most of the time she used an escort just one night. She had never asked for any escort for an entire stay.
She knew she had made a wise decision when they made love the second he arrived at her hotel room. He was the perfect companion at her function that evening and made love to her for over an hour when they returned to her room. It was a school night so he left at two in the morning. He kissed her softly and said, "See you tomorrow. Good night."
He accompanied her to dinner with VIP's the second evening, a Friday. Barry was acquainted with some of the guests and mingled with them with Laura. All evening she felt like she was with her man.
He stayed with her all night and after making love to her that morning took her to one of his favorite places for breakfast.
She told him who she was, something very few clients ever revealed to him and was sure she had never revealed to anyone else.
He confessed that he already knew who she was.
He told her his name was Barry and that she was his daughter's hero. He impressed her when he asked perceptive questions about her work.
She had errands to do and asked him to keep her company.
He did and by the time they returned to her hotel they were holding hands and kissing at random moments. They made love then showered together. They kissed for long stretches under the stream.
That evening he escorted her to a ball for the Opera House.
During the ball he surprised her when he took her hand and led her to the dance floor. He was not surprised to learn she was not a good dancer so he did some 'hard leading" and made her look good.
Barry kissed her cheek when the song ended.
She kissed him hard right there in the middle of the dance floor in front of everybody. They held hands the rest of the evening.
Some of the ladies at the ball had been clients of his; many were with their husband but managed to gush about him to her. They also told her not to become too attached, that he was still in love with his late wife. That gave Laura pause but she could not pin down why it did.
She had no functions on Sunday, and her plane did not leave until late afternoon.
He spent the morning making love to her and she then fucked him hard.
He took her to his favorite deli for lunch. She was about to take out her credit card when he paid the check.
"You are my date now, he said."
She again kissed him in front of everybody.
Their kiss as she got in her limo lasted long enough for her driver to whisper, "You have a plane to catch."
"See you next time," she said.
When he got home late that afternoon his daughter Miki asked him, "Special lady?"
"Yes," he answered.
Miki knew not to ask who it was.
On her next trip three months later Laura realized that first night that she was indeed falling in love with him.
She asked him to fuck her hard and he did bringing her to a deep orgasm.
She then told him he could leave but he ignored her and kissed his way down her body. He rubbed his face on her red pubic hair then loved her pussy for another orgasm. Barry then kissed his way up and made love to her until they had simultaneous orgasms, hers was her third of that fuck.
He made a move to leave but she pulled him to her and almost suffocated him with kisses.
It was still the school year but he kissed her until she was asleep before he left.
He could not be with her the second day until after six. Whatever her plans were for the evening were canceled. She was waiting for him with Ruben sandwiches and her naked body. They fucked first, then ate, then fucked and talked and fucked until she was asleep sometime after two AM.
On their third and last night on a Friday he took her to a symphony concert and dancing at a jazz dinner club. He made love to her nearly the entire night and again kissed her before she got in a limo to take her to the airport.
He never noticed she had not tipped him. It never occurred to her to do so. It had not been a business deal for either.
