Claire was setting at the kitchen island, coffee cup in hand as she usually was. Her short curly black hair still wet from her morning shower. A fluffy white cotton robe around her, short enough to reveal those long slender legs her husband Daren adored so much. Those muscular tanned legs were crossed, her right foot tapping the air as she scanned the screen of her laptop. "Morning." She whispered, not looking up but sounding sincere about it.
He came up behind her and kissed the top of her head.
"Sorry." She added. When Daren just stood there, she continued. "For last light."
He patted her shoulder. "Strictly business." He replied. "Right?"
"You say that but you're sounding upset."
Before Daren could reply, she leaned forward and looked past him and toward the doorway. "Kate, this is my husband, Daren."
Entering the kitchen was a tall blonde, slender, gorgeous, and sharing a genuine smile. She was well dressed in a charcoal suit with a cream silk blouse. A bolo string tie around her neck. You would never guess that they were the same clothes she was wearing when she arrived last night. She had blonde hair cut in a short, very masculine style. Claire had slipped away, now pouring a cup of coffee. Apparently for her guest.
Daren had not been introduced to Kate last night, but he did hear the two of them come in sometime after one A.M. They were making no effort to be quiet as they climbed the stairs. When the master bedroom door closed, he reached for the light on the nightstand in the guest room.
Kate had waked up beside Daren as Claire returned, setting the coffee on the counter in front of her. She leaned forward and placed a very sensuous kiss on Kate's lips. So close Daren could hear them breathing. As the kiss lingered, Kate's hand began rubbing the middle of Daren's back.
Once they parted, Kate spoke. "Do you know how wonderful this girl is?"
"I've heard tell." Daren replied.
Claire gave me a short, disapproving glance.
"Of course, you do." Kate said. She removed something from her pocket and slid it across the counter toward Claire. Claire just pushed it toward Daren without looking at it. With Kate's hand in hers, the two women went to the side door leading to the garage.
In the doorway, He watched as a hug turned into a very sensuous period of long kisses.
"Friday?" Kate said.
"Pretty sure." Claire responded. "but I'll text you for sure."
When Claire returned to the kitchen, she picked up what turned out to be Kate's check. The fee for spending the night with my wife. Claire gave a soft whistle. Daren looked. The check was for $1,200. Claire had just increased her fee for an overnight from $750 to $1,000. She kissed his cheek. "I do love my job." She said.
She slipped onto her stool and opened her appointment calendar. She reserved the coming Friday night for Kate. 7:00 P.M. till BLANK. Then she added. "Dinner at The Cherry Stem, 8:00." And then, "No room reservations needed."
She turned to Daren as she knew he was reading over her shoulder. "I think I like fucking in my own bed." She said. Then she shrugged her shoulders.
"Most people do." he replied.
She looked at him. "You feeling a little left out?"
"Well, a phone call at midnight asking me to move to the guest room was unexpected." He said.
"There was a group of people at the hotel bar that Kate knew. There wasn't time to reschedule a room somewhere else." Claire explained.
Claire fingered the check. "Business is good." She said.
"Very good." He agreed.
"I think I want to invite all of my clients home." She said. "Besides, we save a $200 room charge."
"So..." he started to say.
She finished what Daren knew was coming. "Maybe you should just move your things in there for now."
Seeing the frown starting on his face, she added. "I know you won't mind seeing these beautiful women coming and going." She paused. "Even though you're not the one enjoying them."
He tilted his head waiting for the zinger.
"I want to expand my client list." She grinned at him. "And I've been thinking about growing the business in other ways."
"And that means what? Men?" he asked.
"Don't be ridiculous." She said it as though he was little more than an inconvenience. "I still have a few details to resolve." Claire said. She sensed my concern, adding. "We can talk before I do anything permanent."
He ran the fingers of his right hand along her once again exposed thigh. "Am I going to have to make an appointment as well?" He inquired.
Claire turned on her stool. Her robe eased open. She was nude, and as desirable as Daren have ever known. "Do you remember seeing Elise Carpenter on the news?"
"Sounds familiar but no, not really." He said.
"She is the prima ballerina from the UK. She is in town to perform at the Art Alliance."
A grin on her face told him that any sex in his near future would likely require his laptop and a lubed right hand.
She slipped from the stool, retied the robe and said. "I am meeting her at the coffee shop on Cherokee Street at one." She gave him a quick non-encouraging kiss on his cheek and headed upstairs. "I need to hurry." As she took the first few stairs, she stopped and leaned over the railing. "But if I wasn't otherwise committed..." She let the cloaked offer dangle there.
"Nice to know I'm still your guy." He called out.
"Not exactly." She said. Her voice trailing down from the top of the stairs. Her final words before the bedroom door closed was something to do with how horny she was from being with Kate last night.
Daren took a deep breath and then scanned the check for deposit into their joint checking account. He felt better.
Shortly before one, Claire entered the coffee shop and was not really surprised to see Elise Carpenter surrounded by a group of female customers and a couple of staff girls, all wanting autographs. She was polite, smiling and composed. Claire saw her look up and smile. She then said to the group. "Please excuse me." She pointed toward Claire. "I have a meeting, a friend. Thank you all."
The women began dispersing to other tables or job assignments around the coffee shop.
"Please, sit down." Elise said when Claire reached the table. Claire was wearing a pale-yellow sundress with white stocking. What was not visible was white garters, white silk panties, and a white lace under-cup bra. As she sat down, the outline of her nipples was clearly visible.
Elise was a tall slender girl, even described as willowy. She had a fair complexion with long blonde hair. "Thank you." Elise said.
Claire grinned. "What for?"
"For coming." Elise replied.
"Well, that's all I have done." Claire offered. "How did you get my number?"
Elise removed a business card from her pocket. Claire recognized it immediately as one of Erin Harper's cards. Erin was a client and also incredibly involved in fundraising for the local arts council. That made total sense except her clients all knew to check with her before giving out her personal contact information.
"I'm so glad to find you." She said. "I have been here three weeks." She looked at Claire for a response. When none came, she added. "I don't know anyone here. I met this lady, Ms. Erin. She said she understood." Elise tapped the card laying on the table. "She gave me your number."
Claire still remained quiet.
Elise said. "I have many girlfriends at home. I miss seeing them." She said. "I don't mine the money..."
Claire raised her hand and then brought a finger discretely to her lips for just a second, but Elise seemed to understand.
Claire stood up. "We should talk outside." She waited until Elise was standing and the two left the shop. Once on the street, Claire began walking in the general direction of her house.
"My rental car is just here." Elise pointed.
Claire took her hand and kept walking. "I charge $400 for an hour. $250 for every additional hour. She glanced over at Elise.
Elise grinned at her. "I look forward to being with a beautiful woman."
Claire gave her hand a gentle squeeze. "You can get your car later. My house is just a couple of blocks away."
Claire waited for Elise to enter the house and then closed and locked the front door. When the two reached the foot of the stairs, Daren was visible sitting in the den, reading a book.
He looked up. Elise looked at him and then to Claire. "Elise, my business partner, Daren." Claire led her on up the stairs without further comments from anyone.
