This is the fourth episode in a series entitled "Courtesan". If you have not read the previous three episodes of this series, I encourage you do so before beginning this chapter.
"Courtesan" is romantic story about a dominant hot wife and her submissive cuckold husband. While they have a deep and abiding love for each other they do lead an alternative lifestyle. If this subject matter offends you or makes you feel uncomfortable, I strongly suggest that you find something else to read.
This is a fantasy. All of the people, places and organizations described in this story are creations of my imagination.

"So how did you make the transition from having sex with your bosses to becoming a courtesan?"
Kelly stared at me. "Why do you keep using the word, courtesan?"
"I thought that was the term you and your fellow workers preferred."
"It was. It makes what we do seem almost elegant, but why would you use it? I'd think you'd choose a word like hooker or even whore."
"Those words are pejoratives, especially whore. They imply that there was something wrong with what you were doing."
"Don't you think there was?"
"Only if you do."
My wife stared at me for a very long time. Finally she said, "It destroyed our marriage."
"No, not being truthful with me destroyed our marriage."
Kelly closed her eyes and shook her head. She was clearly confused by my reaction.
In a very gentle voice I added, "And I'm beginning to believe that it might be more apt to say that it nearly destroyed our marriage."
Kelly looked up at me. After a moment she smiled.
I smiled back at her and then I patted her thigh and quietly said, "Why don't you tell me about the first time you met an associate for sex."
Kelly's smile changed to an expression of curiosity. "How do you know that word?'
"Martin Jackson explained the process to me."
Still looking puzzled, Kelly said, "Okay." Her voice was barely above a whisper. She paused. It was clear that she was thinking. Finally Kelly said, "It was on a Tuesday morning about a month after I got my promotion. John Reynolds called me into his office. He told me that they were in a bit of a jam and they needed a huge favor. There was a very wealthy investor who was considering joining them in their latest take over attempt. He'd never dealt with them before and he was being a little wary about making a commitment. They wanted to try to build some good will with him. John explained to me that Martin knew the man and thought that setting him up with an attractive young woman for an evening might be a good way to create some rapport."
Kelly shook her head. "I was a little confused about what John wanted me to do, so I asked him if they wanted me to go out to dinner with this man."
"What did he say?"
"He told me no, that wasn't what they were asking. They wanted to know if I might be willing to spend an evening with him in a luxury suite at the Calvert Hotel."
"I assume that gave you a better idea about what John was requesting."
My wife nodded. "It certainly did and I was shocked. I stared at John and asked him if he was actually suggesting that I let this guy fuck me."
"How did John react to that?"
"He back tracked very quickly. He told me that he didn't mean to offend me, they just knew how much I enjoyed sex and they thought there was a chance that I might consider helping them out. He then made it clear that this was definitely not part of my job and it was perfectly okay for me to say no."
"What did you say to that?"
"Timmy I'm sorry, but as soon as I got over my initial shock I began thinking about how wicked it would be to meet a strange man in a hotel room for sex. Baby I started to get excited."
I chuckled. "The naughty girl was back."
Kelly grinned at me. "Yes she was."
"So what did you do?"
"John asked me to forget that he'd said anything and then he started to apologize. I interrupted him and told him that I would be willing to help them out." Kelly giggled. "He stared at me for a moment and didn't say anything at all. I think he was a little disconcerted."
I laughed. "I'll bet he was."
"John's a pretty smooth guy. He quickly gathered his wits, thanked me and told me that if this man did decide to invest in the project, there would be a nice bonus for me." Kelly looked at me. "That's how the firm operates. Everyone earns a small base salary and then we get bonuses when we successfully complete a project."
"Yes, you explained that to me when you started working for JTandR"
"I guess I did. Anyway, John thanked me again and told me that he'd get back to me later in the day with all the details. I went back to my office and waited."
"Your office?"
"Yes, when I became an administrative assistant to Martin, Wendell and John I was given a very small office down the hall from their offices."
"That must have made you feel very important."
Kelly looked at me. "I thought I told you about that."
I shook my head. "I don't think so. By last fall, you weren't telling much at all about your job."
"Timmy I'm sorry, that wasn't intentional. I think I was unconsciously trying to keep my two lives separated."
"Don't worry, I'm starting to understand that. Tell me what happened when John got back to you."
"He came by my office at about three. Baby I was starting to get very nervous and I was trying to think of a way I could gracefully back out of the situation."
"I would think so, meeting a strange man in a hotel room for sex is a pretty daring thing to do."
"John told me the man's name was Eric."
"Just Eric, no last name?"
Kelly nodded. "That's right and then he gave me a key to a suite at the Calvert and told me to meet Eric there at 8:30 that night. John said that they would arrange for room service to deliver a bottle of chilled champagne to the room at 8:35. He told me to add a twenty dollar tip to the bill and sign the tab. He explained that the firm has an account with the Calvert."
My wife looked at me. "Timmy when I actually heard the plan for the evening I began to get excited again. It was well orchestrated and the idea of sipping champagne with a mysterious gentleman in a luxurious suite at the Calvert Hotel was incredibly intriguing."
I chuckled. "I can imagine that it was. I'll bet that you were starting to feel very wicked again."
Kelly took a deep breath. "Yes Timmy, I really was."
"So what happened next?"
"Once he was done filling me in on all the details of the date John asked me if I was still willing to do it."
"He was giving you another chance to back out."
"Yes."
