There are times, I thought, when a neophyte stripper has to dispense with social niceties. Choosing between joshing with a naked tart in a shower, reviving a perfect tea-party host you've just given a class-A hand job to and rushing to catch a call from a punter calling to firm up a lucrative engagement made this one of them.
'Get stuffed Tracy.'
Dispensed with the first. She winked from between the shower curtains and blew me a kiss. I could hear her laughing as she washed. I ran downstairs, said a quick goodbye to a now fully conscious Mr J -- strike two - and rushed out of the house. My phone was ringing where I had left it on the kitchen table as I let myself in to my own house. I ran to catch it before the caller hung up.
'Hello.'
I sounded out of breath even to myself.
'Sorry is this a bad time? I could call you later if you like? It's Matt here by the way.'
'Matt. Lovely to hear from you. No, I was just visiting an elderly neighbour and lost track of the time. I had to run to be back here for you.'
I heard him cough at the other end of the line and used his silence to control my panting. Fortunately the months of cycling had made me pretty fit and I was soon breathing regularly.
'Well I've spoken to my mates.'
'Good. And what did they think?'
'They thought it was a brilliant idea.'
'I'm so pleased.'
I was trying to stick to Tracy's instruction to make him do the running in the conversation. It was difficult though. I was sounding like a bit part player in a nineteen seventies British sex comedy. My dad had a pretty extensive collection and he was worse at hiding his videos than Mr J was with his wank mags. My sister and I had found them on top of their wardrobe and watched them all when our parents were out.
'Have you spoken to Tracy?'
'Yes I have. She's very excited to meet you all again?'
'She remembered us?'
I could hear the sound of his pride. If it hadn't been for his truly seductive voice and Tracy's rule about pandering to his fantasies I'd have slapped the arrogant sod down good and proper.
'Of course. She asked if you were the polite, good-looking boys sitting towards the back of the room.'
He stopped again. I pictured him blushing.
'That was very nice of her.'
'She's a lovely girl. A little naughty of course, but very sweet-natured and eager to please.'
I heard a deep laugh at the other end of the line.
'I'm sorry about that. I was just thinking...'
'What about?'
Silence again. For a guy with a voice that could talk the knickers off a nun he really was very unconfident.
'You're feeling a little shy, aren't you? There's no need. Tracy and I just want to be sure we make you and your friends as happy as we can.'
I waited for him to speak. After a full minute I gave a little laugh. It was not wholly forced.
'I can see this conversation is going to take a little time. Do you mind if I make myself more comfortable? It will only take a minute.'
'Please. I don't mind waiting.'
It was all I could do to stop myself laughing. I was sounding like a big-busted floozy from one of dad's videos just stepping out to slip into a see-through negligee. I grabbed a half-drunk bottle of red wine from the counter and a glass from the cupboard. I thought about crisps but ruled them out. Didn't really fit with the dirty-talking, sex-kitten image I was trying to promote. I went into the front room, switched on the gas fire and closed the curtains. I poured myself a large glass of the Italian wine before curling my feet below me on the sofa and picking up the phone again.
'Are you still there?'
'Yes. Welcome back.'
He gave a little laugh. I joined in hoping to help him relax.
'You really have a lovely voice, you know? I bet all the girls tell you that.'
'Well no. Not really.'
'You were going to tell me what Tracy and I could do to make your friends happy. What did they say when you spoke to them?'
'I couldn't repeat it.'
He laughed.
'Go on. You know I want to hear it all.'
'Well it's a bit embarrassing.'
'You don't need to be embarrassed. You'll be helping me understand how best we can please you.'
We were going round in circles. Time for some nasty talk.
'Did they talk about how we looked?'
'Well yes.'
'Did you join in? Come on, you did, didn't you?'
'Yes.'
It came out almost like a whisper. I giggled, I hoped coquettishly.
'Were you talking about how hard you were when I pressed my bottom against your long prick?'
'I was.'
'Ooh. I remember how good it felt.'
'You do?'
There was genuine surprise in his voice. I smiled to myself and took another sip of the wine.
'I'm getting excited just thinking about it. Are you getting excited too?'
'A little bit.'
'Why don't you touch yourself?'
