While this is part of a series, and I do recommend that you read the previous chapters, it probably can stand alone.

I received the phone call around noon. It was Jen.
"Hi! What's up?" I asked.
"Are you busy today?" she asked in response.
I had some studying to do for the one class I was taking, but I had put it off for so long now that I was more than willing to put it off a bit longer. So I replied "Not really."
Jen said "Can you cover an appointment for me this afternoon? I just got a call from the spa for three sessions and I really can't pass up the opportunity."
Jen had been taking some work at a local salon. They offered massages as well as nails, hair styling, etc., but there wasn't a lot of work there, so Jen was only called in as needed. Massage appointments had to be made in advance. It didn't amount to much income, but at the least, it gave Jen some additional exposure and the opportunity to get some new clients. The owner of the salon didn't mind that Jen would try to take the clients; she was a friend and a client of Jens and was just glad that she could get some new customers into the shop by offering a massage as a new product. Her thought was that once they were in the shop she could keep them as customers for her other services. She had even advertised special packages, like a half-price massage with a treatment purchase of $40.00.
"And, besides, it's with a client that you're already familiar with," Jen continued. "Sue."
Although Jen had a couple of 'Sues' as clients, I knew by the tone of her voice which one she was referring to. I definitely remembered Sue.
"So, are you ok with covering that appointment?" she asked.
"If you think I can handle it, then yes, I'm good to go."
Jen said, "Well, I seem to remember how well you handled Sue before."
She was referring to the 4-hand massage that we had given Sue. As it turned out, Jen had set me up by purposely making the massage more intimate than I had expected. Sue never used draping, which I knew prior to the session. What I didn't know then was that Sue often got aroused from being massaged and Jen would give her some 'personal' time after the massage to attend to that arousal. The set-up was that Jen had me go back into the studio under the pretext of giving Sue a towel, and I walked right into seeing Sue taking care of herself, scratching the itch that the massage had started. Truth be told she was almost finished by the time I showed up and she climaxed with just a few strategically placed touches from me.
I asked Jen "That was just a one-time only experience, right?"
Jen replied "I'm not sure. Sue has a very active libido. You might want to be prepared for a repeat performance."
"I've thought a lot about that day," I said. "I crossed that 'ethical line' that we've talked about, and I'm not 100% comfortable crossing it again." I paused, and with a slight grin on my face and in my voice, added "Or at least not with every massage."
Jen saw that I hadn't really committed to sticking to the line but apparently decided to let it slip for now. "Good for you! "she said, "But rules are made to be broken, no? And that line can change. I of all people know that."
I knew she was referring to the time, after Sue's massage, that she had 'apologized' for setting me up by giving me a sensual massage, including a very happy ending. She later told me that it was a first for her; she had crossed her 'line'.
"And," she continued, "Sue can be very persuasive; she is used to getting her own way. So, just in case, I'll be leaving you a gift on the table."
"Enjoy the massage! I've got to run." And with that, she was off the phone, headed out to her spa appointments.
Intrigued about the gift that Jen had left for me, and in order to prep for the massage, I went over to Jens right away. So much for studying.
As it turned out Jen had already done most of the preparation; the studio had been cleaned, oil and lotion bottles were filled, there was a clean sheet on the massage table and there was a stack of clean towels. And on the table, as Jen had said, there was a small brown paper bag along with a note.
The note read: 'Hey - here's my little gift to you. Am I being serious or is this a gag? It's up to you to decide. I usually offer Sue a glass of wine beforehand - it seems to help calm her down a bit. You might want to join her - it's in the fridge. She might want to take a shower afterward - if so she knows the routine. There are clean towels on the rack. Thanks for handling this, J.'
Inside the bag was a small three count box of Trojans 'Ultra smooth Lubricated Condoms -Ribbed for her pleasure.' I chose to think it was a gag gift and put the box in the cabinet where we kept the supplies.
Sue arrived right at her scheduled time. I greeted her at the door and led her back into the studio. "Jen told me to offer you a glass of wine. Would you care for a glass?" I asked.
