Chapter 1: Lara's Arrival
It had been a hard day at the office, and I thought the week would never end. Meetings on top of special projects on top of more meetings. I was in desperate need of relaxation, and gave myself a mental pat on the back as I navigated through LA traffic on the 101. A new spa had opened in my neighborhood a few weeks back, and I had managed to grab a last minute appointment there this afternoon. I could really use a nice fuck, but being single, I was willing to settle for a long massage. A good, lengthy, full body massage. Maybe I should ask for massage oils during my session; I loved the feel of strong hands rubbing my slick skin, moving up my back, then down, over my ass, and maybe even lower-
The car behind me blasted their horn, and I shook myself a little. I didn't know who to curse at, the driver behind me for disturbing my daydream, or me, for getting myself all worked up before I could really do anything about it.
I moved forward a car length, then shifted so I could scoot my dress up my thighs. 'What the hell,' I thought, driving with my left hand so I could run the fingertips of my right along the crotch of my frilly pink panties. 'I've got at least another half an hour before I make it to Beverly Hills.'
Forty minutes later, I pulled into what looked like a private home's driveway in a lavish neighborhood, where a large wooden gate blocked the entrance. Checking the directions Candice, the receptionist, had given me against the number, I rolled down my window and pressed the button on the call box.
"The Secret Garden Day Spa, how may I help you?"
"Hi, yes, I'm Lara Whitmore, I have an appointment this afternoon. I spoke with Candice earlier." I felt a little odd announcing myself, as if I was saying the secret password in a spy movie, but shrugged it off. This was, after all, Los Angeles. Things worked a little differently here, and the owners were obviously hoping to attract privacy-seeking celebrities.
"Yes, Ms. Whitmore, we've been expecting you. Please pull into the driveway to the right of the house, and Candice will meet you at the front door."
As I drove through the gates and down a driveway paved in stone, I was pleasantly surprised. The house, if you could call it that, loomed in front of me, like a grand English castle, with thick trees planted here and there. Little pathways cut through the manicured lawns, and off in the distance, I spied what looked like a lush garden behind the house. None of the noise from the street spilled past the gate and high brick walls, and I felt like I was stepping into another world. Tension was already slipping away.
I took a moment to give myself another rub through my panties and fix my clothes, congratulating myself all over again, as I parked next to a small collection of cars. One last makeup check and I swung out of the car to head up to the house. Candice, a young, petite thing, greeted me at the door with a sunny smile.
"Ms. Whitmore, hello. Welcome to The Secret Garden. I'm Candice."
She was the classic California girl; blonde, blue-eyed, and trim. My eyes drifted down to her breasts, which were full and high on her chest. I allowed myself to stay a brief moment on her nipples, which I could clearly see poking through her white sweater. 'Yum,' was all I could think as I licked my lips and returned her smile.
"Why, hello. I'm glad you could squeeze me in today. I definitely need to relax," I replied. Candice tilted her head to the side, smiling wider at me. 'Did she notice me checking her out?' I wondered, feeling my cheeks heat a little.
"Oh, it wasn't a problem at all," she said, running a hand over the tips of her hair, which lay just above those gorgeous breasts. What I wouldn't give to run my hands along her chest and feel her hard nipples against my palms.
