The airport air doors hissed their welcoming sigh as they parted before Her. She was a formidable sight, clad in red leather and black silk. She spoke of old money and high values, a thoroughbred amongst the masses of humanity. She was tall; almost 6ft in stockings, slim and slender but She carried herself with a regal air. Her demeanour was of old school charm with the haughtiness of high breeding and finishing schools in the Swiss Alps.
Her harried butler Jenson struggled with the baggage trolley, piled high with La Croix leather suitcases and Gucci bags. His eyes darted everywhere. He watched Her incessantly, knowing the fools would all be drooling and hoping to catch her eye for a brief moment, thinking they had the chance to steal her imagination. He'd seen it all before, from LA to Paris to Rome to Frankfurt. The fools.
She was above them all, the mindless masses gathered in an airport lounge, bound for their holiday destinations, travelling coach class to exotic destinations like cattle in trucks. She was bound for the First class lounge, and Her annoyance of mingling with the masses was plain to see.
The gigolos were there, looking for their next target, their next meal ticket. He spotted Her immediately. Andy rose from his seat and stepped towards her. He made 3 steps before faltering; the gaze She shot him would have frozen steel, and he withered on the spot.
"Damn Bitch," he cursed as She passed, a wry smile curling Her pouting lips.
"Not a chance" sneered the butler as he passed him, an evil smile gracing his thin lips.
"You'll see" came Andy's retort. "I'll show you" he vowed as the click of Her stiletto's echoed in his head.
Jenson moved closer to Andy as he passed and whispered in a forceful voice, full of venom and malice. "Make one wrong move, Sir, and I'll break your neck with a smile." He hissed.
The look on Andy's face was one of shock and surprise. Surely he couldn't mean that. He didn't look the type to resort to physical violence to protect Her.
She crossed the concourse, under the admiring eyes of the security guard, stationed near the entrance to the First class lounge. As She approached, he unconsciously puffed out his chest and squared his shoulders.
"Good Afternoon Ma'am," He spoke in his clipped British accent, but it was if he wasn't even there, She neither spoke nor even acknowledged he existed.
"Snooty Bitch," He cursed in his thoughts. To say these words would mean instant dismissal. "Bet she still squats to pee." He chuckled to himself as he held the door courteously open for Her and her butler.
"Thank you, Sir." spoke Jenson as he trundled the trolley through the doorway after Her.
"Most welcome, Sir," replied the guard as he turned and openly admired her rear view as She strode toward the counters.
"Are we checked in, Jenson?" She asked in her reserved accent.
"Yes Ma'am. All the formalities have been attended to. May I suggest a drink in the Bar before our flight?"
"Yes Jenson. Order my usual while I powder my nose," She whispered.
"Certainly Ma'am. I'll get right on it," answered Jenson.
She strode off in the direction of the powder room, her high heels clicking on the marbled floor. Jenson hurriedly ordering a small carafe of white wine from the bar. The barman spotted his furrowed brow and rose to speak, but Jenson's withering look made it clear that he was there to serve and not to converse.
"These people must learn their place, their station," Jenson thought to himself.
She entered the powder room. She was alone at last. A moment's peace in a hectic schedule. Travelling was a necessity but a chore at times. She wished she could travel alone, but her father would never allow that. Jenson was a faithful servant, a protector and a companion, but never a friend. Friends were few and far between. She had had plenty of friends at the school in Geneva, but they were a million miles and five years away from those carefree days.
She slipped into the stall, carefully closing and locking the door behind her. Slipping her expensive red leather dress up , she peeled her black silken panties down her shapely legs and sat down. The pleasure thrilled her as she relieved herself in the stall. Finishing she slowly trailed her fingers up her legs, thrilling to their touch.
"Not here, not now," She scolded herself, mockingly.
She slid her panties back up, adjusted her stockings and flushed the toilet. Making her way to the vanity mirror, she washed her hands with that same wry smile. Her face was perfect, her make up intact from the car journey, but she lingered for a moment more before the mirror, as if daring it to reveal her faults.
Making her way back across the lounge, she felt the eyes on her, the lingering glances of the men, the envious looks of the women. "Ha, let them look," She thought wickedly as she passed them by.
Jenson was there at the booth waiting, a small carafe of wine on the table and a single glass. He never drank on duty, her father would kill him for that indiscretion. He was there to protect and serve Her, his only job in life was to make sure that she was happy, and safe from those that would harm her. As an ex-SAS officer, he was more than capable of that, as a few had found out.
She entered the booth and slid down into the comfortable leather seat, Jenson caught a brief flash of black-silk covered thigh and an even briefer flash of black silk panties. She loved to tease him, but to make any move would be a fatal mistake.
She sipped the wine, a fine sharp chardonnay, her lipstick staining the rim of the glass as Jenson bustled around, checking luggage and documents. Her thoughts turned to the journey ahead. Her father was waiting for her in Hong Kong. It had been almost a year since she had seen her father, a busy banker for an international company.
"We have approximately 45 minutes till take off Ma'am," Jensons' voice broke into her train of thought.
"Yes, Jenson, I know," She replied hastily, her voice miles away. Her father had always had that effect on her. She was always ready to drop everything for him. He was the only man who intimidated her still. A look from him was like a slap across the face. She admired and respected him, but fear held a common place there too.
Time flew by and the rest of the First class lounge was a blur. The flight announcers metallic voice broke her reverie. "First Class Passengers on British Airways Flight 567 to Hong Kong are now requested to proceed to the departure gates. Please have your boarding pass and passports ready."
She slipped out of the booth and stood up slowly, allowing Jenson another quick flash of well turned thigh. She ran her hands down her sides, smoothing the red fine grain leather back down. Her hands brought her that brief flash of pleasure as they did earlier.
"Are you ready, Ma'am?" Jenson spoke gently.
