This is the twenty-eighth episode in a series entitled "Courtesan". If you have not read the previous twenty-seven 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.

Kelly slowed her big Mercedes and turned onto Case Avenue. After passing a small wooded park with an ornate fountain at its center, we found ourselves in a neighborhood of stately old mansions.
Keisha shook her head. "Damn, these are some very fancy houses. Kelly are you sure we're in the right place?"
Kelly nodded. "I think so Keish."
Tonya smiled at Keisha. "You're right Keish, these are fancy houses; but you have to remember that we're not looking for a trailer house."
Everyone chuckled, but I think all five of us were amazed by the realization of what we were actually going to be able to buy with the three million dollars we had to spend.
Kelly drove one more block and made a right turn onto 77th Street. Mandy opened her purse, took out a sheet of paper and unfolded it. There were some notes and several addresses scrawled on it.
"All right everyone, we're looking for 1540 West 77th Street."
I glanced at the address on the house we were passing. It was 1224. The next house was 1230. "Kelly, I think we have to go three more blocks."
"All right Timmy."
As we drove down the street I looked around. It was a beautiful neighborhood; the kind that Kelly and I would occasionally drive through just so that we could gawk at the old vine covered, red brick mansions.
When we got to the fifteen hundred block Mandy said, "Up ahead on the right. See the man standing in the driveway. Isn't that our Realtor?"
Tonya leaned forward so that she could look over Mandy's shoulder. After a moment she said, "Yes, that's Barry."
There was a black BMW parked on the street in front of the house where Barry was standing. Kelly pulled her Mercedes up behind it. As soon as she stopped we all piled out of the car. Everyone was excited.
Once I was standing on the boulevard next to the car I looked at the house. Like the others in the neighborhood it was red brick and covered with vines. It was a tall house, two stories with a full attic. I could see four chimneys. so I assumed that there were several fireplaces.
Kelly, Tonya, Mandy and Keisha all walked over to Barry. Tonya greeted him. "Hello Barry, this is quite a house."
He smiled. "Yes it really is something, isn't it."
Barry was a tall man with wavy dark brown hair, broad shoulders and a narrow waist. He could easily be described as a hunk. He had deep blue eyes and a boyish smile that I suspected most women found endearing. I could see why Keisha had said that they all wanted to "do him".
Tonya turned to me. "Barry, this is Kelly's husband Tim Jamieson. Everyone calls him Timmy."
Barry stepped towards me with his hand extended. "It's pleasure to meet you Timmy."
As I took his hand I smiled and said, "Barry, it's nice to meet you too."
He looked at all of us. "Shall we go inside?"
Tonya nodded. "By all means."
We all walked up to the front porch and waited while Barry opened the lock box, took out the key and unlocked the front door.
Once we were inside the house I glanced around. We were standing in an entrance hall. To our right there was a large formal living room with a massive fireplace. On our left there was a small parlor with another fireplace. Straight ahead of us there were two more doors and at the end of the hall there was a large wooden staircase leading to the second floor. All of the woodwork on the first floor including the mantel on both of the fireplaces and the entire staircase appeared to be finely finished mahogany. This was a beautiful home.
Barry smiled at us and said, "Why don't you look at the house, and then we can discuss the financial details."
Keisha grabbed my hand. "Come on Timmy, let's start upstairs." She pulled me to the large open staircase. Mandy and Tonya both followed us. As the four of us were climbing the stairs I glanced back. Kelly and Barry were lagging behind. Kelly was whispering in his ear. Barry was smiling.
The upstairs was a disappointment. There were six bedrooms. The master bedroom was large and had a luxurious private bath, but the other five bedrooms were small and shared two bathrooms on the second floor hallway. We needed at least five large bedrooms, all with private baths.
As we wandered through the upstairs I noticed that my wife and our Realtor had not followed us. I wondered what they were doing.
After a few minutes Tonya shook her head and said, "This is a waste of time."
Keisha looked at her. "What do you mean Tonnie. This is a magnificent home. Other than Eagle Lake and Evergreen, I don't think I've ever been in a house this nice.
Tonya nodded. "Keish, you're right. It is beautiful, but it won't work for us."
"Why not Tonnie?"
"Do you want to have to share a bathroom with Mandy and Antoine?"
Keisha laughed. "Hell no! Antoine can absolutely destroy a bathroom in the morning. " She shook her head. "I guess you're right. It's a beautiful home, but it doesn't meet our needs."
Tonya patted her friends shoulder. "Come on Keish, let's go see what Kelly and our Realtor are doing."
Mandy giggled. "I assume she's taking care of business."
Tonya nodded. "Well that was the plan."
I looked at Tonya. "What plan?"
She smiled at me. "Let's just say that we want to be absolutely certain that Barry is fully motivated to give us the best service possible and we all agreed that your wife would be our most effective motivator."
Mandy grabbed my hand. As she led me down the stairs she said, "We're smart women. We've learned a great deal from Martin, John and Wendell about how to get the most out of a business transaction."
"Why Kelly?"
Keisha rolled her eyes. "Timmy honey, you're wife is a young, large busted blond who gives fabulous head. We guessed that she's most likely going to be Barry's fantasy client." She patted my shoulder. "But don't worry sweetie. Kelly is just our lead off batter. Tonnie, Mandy and I are all going to take a turn too."
At the bottom of the stairs Mandy hooked her arm through my arm, pulled me close to her and whispered, "What's the matter dicklet, are you feeling a little twinge of jealousy?"
Next to us, Tonya said; "Timmy, by the end of the dinner party last night, you were doing so well. You're not having a relapse, are you?"
"No I'm all right."
