Author's Note: I have a devoted, very kind reader who has been waiting patiently for this chapter. For you, good sir.

Vegas left us with a massive hangover. The night of Foxy, while fun, had abused our bodies. Rita decided she needed some time off of drugs, so she made a pledge to Kat that she would also stick to alcohol-only for at least a couple weeks. Coke consumption in our house plummeted. Jess focused on ensuring the success of the Vegas Hooker House, but it quickly became apparent that such a result would be inevitable. Kelly had put in monumental efforts to build a steller client list. Jess had put together junkets of Houston clients to visit the girls in Sin City. And Nicole and Melissa, in particular, drew on their personal connections to attract business. By all accounts, the Vegas Hooker House was a nonstop fuckfest, seven days a week.
I spent the week after Vegas working on two high-priority projects. First, Jason and I had a couple initial discussions about JP regarding how to finance his two movie projects. Second, I became fairly obsessed with plotting out as many details of Rita's engagement weekend as I could.
The movie business was looking up. Peter and Stephen were another four weeks away from completing principle photography on their movie, but the financial plan had worked out beautifully. They hadn't ended up risking any of their own assets, which wasn't so much a fear as less-than-ideal. JP was eager to start pre-production on both his movies, and Jason and I had promised to get him an initial proposal within two weeks. We had a few creative plans kicking around and wanted to impress him.
The bulk of my time, however, I focused on our brief trip to Paris. Given our time constraints with Kat and Rita's work schedule, who had only negotiated one day off, I wanted to maximize our time in the city and minimize our time in the airport. After researching our options, it became clear that flying private from Houston to Paris would save us, in total, about ten hours over the weekend. Was six figures worth it to have ten hours in Paris? For my girls it was, so I bit the bullet.

The week flew by. Katie had asked me to the Hooker House on Tuesday morning under the guise of going over her finances to see if she could get away with quitting her job as a nurse. She was a smart girl and knew it was financially feasible, but she just wanted to lure me in for a morning fuckfest, and I was more than happy to oblige.
As I licked her nipples lightly after filling her pussy with cum, Katie said with reticence, "Were you jealous of what I was doing at the Vegas party?"
"I don't know, what were you doing?" I asked teasingly.
"I'm not sure I remember all of it because I was so coked out," Katie said, "but Crystal and I did a number on those investment bankers for a couple hours." She absently let a couple fingers play with her clit, teasing out the cum I had just shot inside her. "And then that boxer guy? His dick was so gorgeous, I just let him fuck me in the ass on the balcony. I swear I must have woken up the whole city."
"Nobody sleeps in Vegas," I said, stroking her tits.
"You must think I'm such a slut," she said, and it came out deeply sincere.
I laughed and said, "Katie, you're a whore."
"You know what I mean," she said.
"I do," I said, "and don't worry about it. The crazier you are? The more I like you."
"Really?" she asked.
"Really," I said. "I love girls who aren't ashamed to embrace life and live it the way they want."
"I'm definitely doing that," Katie said and stuck the cum-covered fingers in her mouth.
"Don't stop," I said, "or you'll become boring."

By Thursday afternoon, the girls were pestering me with questions about the trip. I had even kept Kat and Jess in the dark about the particulars. I gave the girls a simple checklist of what to pack: a passport, casual clothes, and two dress-up outfits. Our flight would depart at 2 p.m. on Thursday, which would get us to our hotel in Paris by breakfast time Friday. If we had taken the daily Air France flight to DeGaulle Airport, we wouldn't have been able to hit the city until closer to lunch time Friday, and we would have been rushing after Kat and Rita got off work. On the trip home on Sunday, we would also gain half a day because of eliminating airport time. It was the perfect scenario.
As we took the limo to the airport, I was giddy like a kid on Christmas. I had pulled this off being as much of a surprise as possible.
"Passports, but we're flying private," Kat said as we approached the general aviation area at Hobby Airport. I could hear in her voice the surprise that we weren't taking a commercial flight.
"Mexico," Jess said, knowing our real destination but playing along.
"Cabo?" Rita asked hopefully.
I only grinned in response. The driver took care of our luggage, and the girls, rather scantily clad in their finest athleisure wear, climbed the steps to the cabin. I followed, leering at the parade of ass in front of me. Inside, we were greeted by our frequent flight attendant, Christy, who we hadn't seen often after my hookup with her on a trip to Vegas.
"Welcome back, everyone!" Christy exclaimed. I thought her skirt was shorter than usual, and she didn't wear the customary stockings.
"It's so good to see you," Rita said, greeting Christy first with a hug.
The girls were surprised by the arrangement of the cabin. There were only four seats set up, and the back portion of the plane had been set up as beds. The G650 could sleep up to ten, and I had instructed them to prepare it for six, so we would have plenty of room.
"So, not Cabo?" Kat said.
"Oh my god!" Rita screeched. She had glanced at the television monitor at the front of the cabin, which showed our planned route. "Paris? Are you kidding me?"
"We're not kidding, sweetie," Jess said.
"You knew?" Rita said to Kat and Jess in surprise.
"Sworn to secrecy, sister," Kat said with a cute smile.
"Paris!" Rita exclaimed again. "It's my favorite place in the whole world!"
"I know," I said knowingly, and Rita kissed me. She made the rounds and kissed all of us.
When the initial moment passed, Christy was waiting for us with a magnum of a special, late-disgorged Dom Perignon from Rita's birth year.
"John!" Rita cried, her voice spiking to a higher octave again. "This is too much!"
I pulled her to me and kissed her, before holding her shoulders and looking at her seriously.
"Nothing is too much for you," I said.
Christy came out with our customary cheese plate, and I think she was surprised that there wasn't already a pile of cocaine for her to navigate around, but it was a clean trip for all four of us. As we dug into the cheese and charcuterie and drank Champagne, Christy prepared dinner. We talked excitedly about the weekend, but I wouldn't divulge any particular plans. My only comment was that we wanted to be sure to get a good night's sleep while we flew.
Surprisingly, sleep came easily for all of us. Christy was also a little surprised that there weren't any sexual antics, and I could tell that disappointed her some. But this trip had a specific focus, and playing around wasn't on the agenda. Besides, I knew playing a little hard-to-get with a girl like Christy would make any future encounter better.
Our hotel, Le Bristol, had sent a car for us, which was waiting when we breezed through a cursory customs check. By 9 a.m. Paris time, we were comfortably settled into our suite on the sixth floor and eating breakfast on the large outdoor terrace. Amidst piles of warm croissants, piping hot coffee, and assorted pastries, we drank Champagne and took in the gorgeous garden below.
"This is like living out a dream," Rita said. "I used to walk into the lobby here and use the restrooms just to imagine what it would be like to stay here."
