Emma was apprehensive as she approached the big house at the top of its gravel drive. She was hit with a sense of foreboding as she realised just how little thought she'd given this decision before agreeing to it. She parked up to see Rebecca already waiting at the door for her. It would be hard to back out now and just drive away.
"I wasn't sure you'd come." Rebecca said.
"Neither was I if I'm honest." Emma responded. She could feel the knots of confusion inside her stomach. Thoughts of what she would be required to do seemed so much more intense than when she had been at home thinking it through. Now it was about to be real it was becoming terrifying.
"Well. You're here. So come through to the lounge why don't you."
Emma followed the older woman, noting her shapely bare legs extending from beneath the blouse and tartan skirt. Smooth and womanly, without a hint of the cellulite she would have expected on a forty year old. Wide hips swayed sensually and she walked with a confidence that came with maturity.
"Take a seat. What would you like to drink?"
"Thank you.
Erm. Just an orange juice please." She glanced around the room, slightly belittled by its plush expensive fittings and furniture. This woman was wealthy. No wonder she had offered to pay so much.
"Come now. We need to relax. Something a little stronger."
Emma considered for a moment. She'd agreed to stay the night and already unsure what she was letting herself in for suggested a need for alcohol.
"Just a splash of vodka then."
The whole bottle might be what she actually needed she decided. She sat in an armchair that sunk down threatening to swallow her up.
Last time she had seen Rebecca had been at the club her friend Kelly had introduced her to. That night of being fucked in public by a stranger just to pay her bills this month.
It had only been a week ago but she still remembered this woman's eyes on her in that moment of ecstasy. Then after, when Rebecca had approached her with an offer for a night of personal service. She'd been intoxicated at the time and the lure of more money had made her say yes easily.
The intervening days had been a mixture of doubt and realisation that she was expected to perform a lesbian act. She was straight, she had no doubts. But then more rejection letters from job applications had re-enforced her dire situation. She was trying to keep a house and pay for food and heating. Unemployment Benefit was woefully short. She'd already performed two acts that she'd have thought beyond her so what was one more she'd reasoned.
"You live here alone?" Emma asked trying to make conversation.
Rebecca gave her that sweet smile again as she came back with their drinks. Emma suddenly noticed she was bare foot. It made her look younger.
"No.
My husband is a company solicitor. He works away a lot. In Spain at the moment. I think. It all blurs into one after a while."
Emma was a little surprised
"Your married?
And yet..." she left the question unanswered.
Rebecca laughed.
"Yes. I'm married. He's a sweet man and I love him dearly.
But he's not always here.
And if you mean, why another girl? Well. With girls it's not really cheating is it."
Emma wasn't so sure she saw it that way, but she didn't argue.
"Come and sit next to me." Rebecca patted the large sofa as she sat at one end with her legs tucked up. She looked like a wealthy housewife in an American soap opera.
Emma took a gulp of her drink noting 'a splash' didn't describe the amount of Vodka in its contents. She decided it was no bad thing. Rebecca was still waiting expectantly so she placed the glass on an oversized table then went and sat down just a few inches away. She didn't want to look unwilling, but also avoided any real closeness. Her heart was thumping with nervousness.
"Michael has always gone away on long trips. And I have a high sex drive. I need to satisfy my urges how I can." Rebecca explained.
Emma wondered how he satisfied his urges while he was away, but it wasn't her place to pry. Whether she liked her own description of herself or not, she was just the hired prostitute.
"Most of the time a girls little toys help."
Emma flushed again at the thought of her own mechanical friend hidden away in a drawer at home.
"But every occasionally I need a little more."
"That's why you were at the club."
"I like to watch.
But I like to fuck even more."
There was a twinkling in her eye and Emma knew she was being tested.
Rebecca went on.
"You were amazing.
