She advertised as an escort in multiple classified ads online and her phone rang before the alarm was due to go off. Instantly it was as if she was never asleep. She sprang out of bed with cell in hand, answered and the caller was addressed in what seemed one single motion from being dead asleep. Naked she walked into the master closet with this regular client on the other end.
She didn't like him much but he had what seemed to be an endless supply of $100 reasons to answer the phone. It wasn't that he was offensive to look at he was actually not bad looking. It was his constant drug habit that disgusted her. He was forever gritting his teeth and offering her the stuff and pleading with her to join him and she was not interested. She didn't mind having a drink with him as long as she was in control of the libations and he couldn't take advantage of her. She had to laugh to herself. Who was taking advantage of whom? That was a good question she thought.
He drank like a fish when he was high and she spent a good amount of money on alcohol entertaining him but the spending meter tilted largely towards him. He called on a weekly basis at all times of the day or night from a different hotel room, wasted on his currently favorite drug and always when he was out of alcohol. She would stop and pick up whatever he wanted from the liquor store on the way. If she didn't know better she would think he was sober because he acted so completely normal except for the excessive drinking which seemed to have no effect on him.
She wondered what he would want from her today. He was wildly unpredictable which scared her and more than a little excited her at times. More than any other client she let him have his way with her by playing his little games and being the complete slut her soccer mom friends didn't know existed. She carried in her car trunk a medium sized bag full of what she referred to as her "props". It was filled with the things she used to entertain regular clients like this.
Regulars were more demanding than the occasional client because their ongoing visits required a slow but steady escalation of kink to maintain their interest. Let's face it, who is willing to pay over and over for the same old thing, right? She pulled into the hotel parking lot and called him from the car.
He answered and asked her what she was wearing. She indicated tan short-shorts, a semi-sheer grey tank top and sandals. He snorted "Not hot enough, you need to change and meet me in the bar downstairs".
Great, she thought he is in one of his demanding moods which meant she would have to try and calm him down. She grabbed her bag, slipped into the hotel and then the restroom on the first floor. She knew better than to look towards the registration desk when she passed.
She had been here many times before. She also knew who was working this shift and that she would be taking care of him financially afterwards. It was a small price to pay but she regularly tipped hotel staff including the cleaning ladies. They weren't stupid and it was just smart business to make sure they looked the other way. She would occasionally see one of these hotel employees or one of her clients in public at the grocery store, one of her kid's ballgames or a school function. They would smile at one another and keep moving. That was the unwritten rule. You watch out for my back and I will watch out for yours. No need to create a scene in front of others and promote unnecessary questions right?
In the restroom, she unzipped the bag and extracted a pair of grey heels with a miniskirt to replace the shorts. The semi-sheer grey tank top worked perfectly with the too-short jean skirt and heels. She left her push-up bra in place but removed her matching panties. Once they were secured with the shorts and sandals in the bag she exited and headed directly to the front desk. She told the desk-clerk she knew all too well, "My husband's flight has been delayed and he will be checking in later, would you mind checking this bag for me while I wait for him in the bar?" He grinned and said, "Of course, please hang onto this ticket and I will see you later".
She strutted to the bar and swept the room with her eyes. He wasn't there and she was not surprised. This would somehow be part of his game today. There were three men sitting at the bar and it was as if someone famous had entered. Their conversation sputtered to a sudden and complete halt and they tried to act like they didn't notice her. She smiled at them which only made it worse. They were at one end of the bar so she sat in the middle by herself. This would be interesting to see what Cokehead would do next. All of her regulars (unbeknownst to them) had nicknames and his was more than appropriate.
The bartender brought her a gin and tonic with a slice of lime at her request and she thanked him. Then her client entered and walked right past without a glance and sat himself one seat away from the group of men. They exchanged pleasantries and he commented something about watching the game currently on the flat screen over the bar in his room prior to coming in. She wondered what he was up to because he surely had something in mind.
She was almost to the bottom of her drink and just beginning to get annoyed while the four men chatted amiably about sports. Suddenly they stopped talking and out of the corner of her eye she saw all four heads swing her direction in unison. "Here we go", she thought. "What is he up to?" Two of the men excused themselves and left the bar leaving one of them with him. Cokehead got up and walking towards her sat down in the seat next to her. Still annoyed she asked him what he had in mind for this afternoon. He laughed and said "that nice young man down there is hot for you but he thinks you are out of our league. I bet him $ 100 I could get you to buy me a drink" and he laughed. She had to admit she was amused at his little game, ordered another gin and tonic and a double scotch neat for him. The poor bastard at the end of the bar was watching and shook his head.
Cokehead waved him over and asked him to join them. He pulled out the barstool on the other side of her and introduced himself as Dave. He was about six feet tall, slender and well-built but had freckles all over his face. He made her think of Opie from that old television show and she knew instantly the nickname would stick. There she sat between Opie and Cokehead, wondering where this was going but she already knew. That rat bastard had planned it all along. Within 30 minutes they were all three headed to the room upstairs.
