When the night that became known as the Backus Incident ended in a signed contract, I had no idea how far the ramifications of that event would reach. Had I known, I might have played things a little differently. But things began to unravel, and I was sort of swept along with little if any ability to slow it down.
Well, I guess a little update should come first.
It was a couple weeks after the Backus Incident, and I still thought of it as a crazy little adventure we had. Steve typically comes home late on weeknights, so it was a pleasant surprise to get a text from him saying he would be home before five!
I love when Steve dotes on me, and maybe it's not fashionable, but I love treating him special too. One of the ways I do that is to make sure I look nice when he comes home. I fix my hair, maybe add some makeup, and wear something pretty. Since he was coming home early, I hoped we'd have extra time for some fun in the bedroom, so I chose a little see-through nighty and slippers. He called it my Genie outfit and said I looked like the hot blonde from that old TV sitcom. I wish!
As soon as the door opened, I tossed aside the book I was reading and dashed to the foyer. We greeted one another with a nice hug and kiss, then he held me back at arm's length.
"I have a little surprise for you." He smiled.
"Ooo, I love surprises." I cooed. "What is it?"
"Well, I got my commission for the Backus contract, and... well, I got you a little gift." He held me close and looked into my eyes with that warmth and affection we reserve for intimate moments. "I couldn't have gotten that contract without you."
I smiled. "I'm just glad I could help."
He smiled back. "Well, I got you a little something to show how much I appreciate it."
I made a giddy little squeak when he reached into his pocket and handed me a little wrapped box! I love jewelry, especially now that I was able to wear something other than silver plated junk with glass gems. I opened it like a kid at Christmas and took a second to realize what I was looking at. Not a ring, not a pair of earrings, not a watch or necklace. It was this little oval shaped black thing with a couple buttons. Then I recognized the emblem on it. BMW!
"What?!" I screamed.
He opened the door wider, and there in our driveway was a brand-new BMW, beautiful pearl white with baby blue and pink pinstripes along the side. It freakin' screamed Barbie Doll!
"A car!" I was hopping on my toes with all my might. "You're not kidding? This is really my car?"
"Meet the Barbie Mobile." He grinned.
I screamed with excitement and rushed out to look at MY NEW CAR! I walked around it, admiring the sleek design, the color, the feel of MY NEW CAR! It even had custom plates! B4RB1E! He thought of everything! I opened the door, got in, and settled into the exceedingly comfortable driver seat. The only time I'd ever experienced 'that new car smell', was when I went to look at them on the showroom floor. This was the first time I ever sat in one, inhaled that lovely smell, and knew it was mine!
I enjoyed that for a few minutes, pushed buttons and turned knobs. Then I got out and jumped into Steve's arms like a panther. "Thank, you, thank you, thank you!" I shrieked. "This is... Amazing!"
"You're going to need to practice driving again." He cautioned me. "You haven't driven since you lived with your parents."
I nodded. "I will. Oh god! Can we afford this? And, where's your car?"
"It's half paid for already." Steve grinned. "And my car is at the dealership. I'll go pick it up tomorrow."
I nodded. "And I can give you a ride there... IN MY NEW FUCKING CAR!!"
One of our neighbors was walking by with his dog and stopped to stare. I proudly leaned my hand on the car, cocked my hip and waved. "Hi Keith!" I chimed. "Steve got me a car!"
He blinked and nodded. "Yeah... real nice."
I waved again, and took Steve by the hand, practically skipping back inside. "Did you see the look on his face?" I giggled. "It was like he never saw a new car before!"
Steve grinned and nodded. "Yeah. Or maybe he never saw his hot young neighbor in a see-through nightie before."
I looked down, and gasped. "Oh shit!" We laughed together, and I practically dragged my lover to bed for a pre-super bang I hope he'll never forget. I couldn't get enough of him, and we were at it for hours. He was too spent to keep going, so I went downstairs, still naked, fixed us a couple bowls of chili I had cooking most of the afternoon, and we had supper in bed.
When we were done, I moved the bowls and climbed on top of my lover for a snuggle.
"So, not bad compensation for the Backus Incident?" he asked, gently stroking my hair and caressing my back.
I giggled and kissed his chest. "Well, let me think. You said it was half paid, so... that's what... twenty-five thousand?"
He huffed a little laugh. "More like forty."
I gaped at him. "What? Really?"
He nodded.
"Damn!" I gasped and snuggled closer. "So, what you're telling me is; I gave a forty-thousand-dollar blowjob?"
He chuckled and gave me a little tickle. "Not quite." He said. "I don't count, but Larry was there so... you gave two twenty-thousand-dollar blowjobs."
I tickled him back and hugged closer. "Makes me a very expensive escort, I guess." I sighed.
"Would you ever want to do that again?" he asked.
I looked at his face. Yup. There it was. That mischievous expression. The dark side smiling wickedly at me. "Why? What did you do?"
"Not much." He drawled. "Just somewhat confirmed a rumor that we have a junior partner with a gambling problem who uses his very sexy wife to help with his debts by encouraging her to be an escort for some of our clients."
I gawked down at him. "Why would you make a rumor like that?"
