Synopsis of This Story Up to This Point
: After a motorcycle road trip laced with grief, love, incest, and sex (read the Road Trip series), Jim, girlfriend country singer Crystal Lee and her sister Ellen, a love interest named Claire, and a nymphomaniac housekeeper Nadia live together. Jim finished his first movie, enjoyed several orgies with his leading lady and rescued her when she got kidnapped in Nicaragua to great media acclaim. Later, the press discovered that Jim fathered a child in Ohio during the road trip, but Crystal and Jim managed the news, revealed the truth, and the story faded away quickly. In the course of the baby story, the pair met Edie, the sexy reporter who deduced Jim's parenthood, and they bring her back to Nashville for further loving romps before they leave on a concert tour. Billy, their bandleader, and Dan, their publicist, joined the group more often. Claire finally revealed her mysterious past, admitting to doing porn films and being a high-end escort even sharing some details. Crystal and Jim get Grammys for their great music. During a concert in London, Jim receives a blackmail note. He hires a private detective to help search for the culprit, and hence meets Margo. The musical and movie entourage moves to Paris for the next concert and movie premieres.
Chapter 15
A blackmailer confronted; loving friends and detectives
By the time I called room service for lunch, four nearly nude women sat engaged in various activities in the living of our suite at the Hotel George V in Paris: Crystal who read a script she'd been asked to consider for her next movie; Jill who had started to read a book on her iPad; Helen, Jill's agent who was completely nude and practicing various yoga positions in a corner of the living room; and Margo, naked except for her thong, the European extension of my private detective in the States who alternately worked on her computer or talked for long periods of time on the telephone.
Margo had joined us to stay close and to help resolve a blackmail threat leveled at me during a country music concert Crystal and I gave just outside London. A note had been handed to me threatening a revelation that I had slept with an underage girl at an orgy in Oklahoma that I got involved in during my road trip. So far, she'd told me the had three suspects and many unanswered questions.
When the young man from room service wheeled in the cart with our various orders, I thought his eye teeth would drop from his head. The women only glanced up nonchalantly and nodded at the twenty something, as though their states of dress were normal ... and I knew it actually did lean more in that direction than fully clothed. I had remained in casual clothes since Henri, Terry, and I had decided to take a walk up and down the Champs des Elysees right after lunch. While we walked, I'd promised to pick up a pair of shoes at a nearby shop that Margo had ordered online.
George Rinard, the last person staying in our suite, remained totally spent from the sexual encounters of the night before. He slept in a stupor as his body tried to restore itself. Crystal checked on him periodically, even offering a 'wake up blowjob.' He'd groaned and pushed her away. When Crystal came out of his bedroom, she winked and said, "He's still not ready to play. We'll finish the job we started on him tonight." Crystal and Helen had a good laugh.
Margo asked what was going on, and so Crystal explained to her about George's willingness to pursue pretty women, but his lack of sexual stamina -- a case of a willing mind and weak body. Margo chuckled, particularly when Crystal shared some of the details about how she'd earlier worn him down -- just for fun -- during the making of her movie
The Naked Truth
. Crystal was amazingly graphic in her descriptions, a point that turned on Margo. That movie was the reason we continued to hang around Paris. The national premiere of the movie she and George had made was that evening, with an accompanying party after the film.
We each pursued our own interests in the afternoon. I bought some souvenirs for Anna and Lauren, my sister and sister-in-law, and shipped them with the help of the merchant. I picked up Margo's sexy shoes. Henri, Terry, and I walked several miles and did part of the Louvre, including a special exhibition by Matisse.
Margo and the others had remained nude or nearly so for the remainder of the day. When the three of us got back, we had to readjust to the 'friendly' surroundings. We resisted the urge to fuck every woman in the suite, although I assured Henri and Terry the advances would be more than welcome.
Instead, a very naked Crystal, Terry, and I sat and planned out the next two years -- two concert tours in the States plus another in Europe, a trip to Australia and New Zealand, and two movies. Of course, many other people needed to be 'in' on such decisions, but we had a starting position. Terry and I were frantically distracted by Crystal's nudity, and we both ended our small conference with large lumps in our pants.
While we were talking about movies, Jill overheard us and looked up from her reading. "I volunteer to co-star with you both; it'd be so much fun. We could make movies all day and fuck all night." The way she said it made us all laugh. We also knew she was serious.
Margo announced about four o'clock that her minions had found and interviewed an important person; namely, the young man at Wembley Stadium who had delivered the envelope to me that had the blackmail note in it. They'd found him working another concert, and he did remember delivering the envelope to me. He also recalled that it had been a young woman who asked for him to do the deed, paying him fifty quid to do so. All he could recall of the girl was she had dark hair, a body to die for, and a pleasant face. When the detective had shown him photos of our 'possibles' he couldn't say yes or no; he just didn't remember the face because he'd been so focused on her body. We might have decisively eliminated the guy going to Cambridge, but both girls had dark hair.
Margo happily reported she also had addresses for both girls: one lived in St. Johns Wood and the other in the Swiss Cottage section of London. Margo explained that the two were not too far apart northwest of downtown.
We talked about various courses of action to take. I didn't like any of the options, but time seemed to be ticking away; I had eight more days before the deadline set in the blackmail letter to get five million dollars into some mysterious Swiss bank account.
