This is the thirty-seventh episode in a series entitled "Courtesan". If you have not read the previous thirty-six 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.
When we walked out of the Whetmore Building, it was only five minutes to six; but it was already dark. Daylight savings time had ended on the previous Saturday. The sun had been down for almost an hour. As soon as we felt the chilling bite of the blustery November wind we started to hurry.
As we traversed the block and a half to the entrance to the parking ramp I glanced across the street. Smithson Jewelers was just closing. Tomorrow it would be two weeks since that fateful night when I stood freezing in the alcove of that store waiting so that I could follow Kelly to what I was certain was going to be a meeting with her secret lover.
That night I had been convinced that my marriage to the woman I so deeply loved was about to end. I couldn't have been more wrong. The events of that night and my ensuing discoveries didn't lead to the dissolution of our marriage, they led to it's rebirth.
Those discoveries also brought a new life for Kelly and me. It was an exciting life that included a wonderful group of new friends and a variety of fabulous opportunities. As we hurried along, Mandy holding on to one of my arms and Kelly holding on to the other one; I smiled. I had to, life was good.
We entered the parking ramp and rode the elevator to the third level. As soon as the doors opened we stepped out. I saw it immediately. It was parked next to Mandy's Jaguar. Shiny, new and bright red; it was beautiful. I walked quickly to it. Kelly and Mandy were right behind me.
I stopped next to the driver's side door and ran my fingers along the side of the car. The paint was smooth and unblemished. Looking inside, I saw the luxurious black leather interior.
Kelly handed me the keys. "Open it up Timmy, get inside. It's yours?"
I turned to her and smiled. "I thought it was yours."
Kelly shook her head. "No babydoll, that's just a game. The title might have my name on it, but this SUV will always belong to you."
I glanced at the key ring. In addition to the car key I noticed that Kelly had also attached a house key and what I was quite certain was a key to the office that Ellie, Kirby and I shared.
I chuckled, there was one key that was obviously missing. Grinning at my wife, I said; "I see that you provided every important key but one."
"That key stays in my purse." Kelly giggled. "This SUV may now belong to you, but your dick will always belong to me."
Laughing, I said; "I think I might have been better off buying a bicycle and keeping my dick."
Kelly shook her head. "It wouldn't have helped. You just would have ended up peddling around the city with your pee pee in a cage." She playfully patted my butt. "Get in the car slaveboy, it's time to drive your goddesses to the restaurant."
I looked at Kelly. "Goddesses? I thought Mandy was a slave just like me."
"In our new household she's a slave to me, but she's a goddess to you."
As she slid into the backseat of my new Escape, Mandy said; "Bunny I'm sure you'll agree that there's something about a female led household that just feels right."
It was a short drive from the Whetmore Building to the Goldenrod Supper Club. When we were a block away I started looking for a parking place. Kelly noticed what I was doing and said; "Timmy honey, just pull up in front of the restaurant. Jeff will park your car for you."
"Isn't valet parking kind of extravagant?" I was raised to be careful with money.
Kelly smiled. "Sweetie, today you started working at a job that pays you a salary of one hundred thousand dollars a year plus bonuses. Mandy and I both earn three times that amount. The three of us are planning to live together. Our joint household income is going to be substantial. We can afford valet parking."
"Sorry, it's in my nature to be frugal."
Laughing, Kelly said; "It certainly is and it's an admirable quality. It's one of the reasons that you're going to be running our household. Nonetheless, we are wealthy and Mandy and I are going to see to it that all three of us enjoy the benefits of our good fortune."
I pulled up to the curb in front of the Goldenrod. As soon as the car stopped the valet was opening the passenger side doors for Kelly and Mandy. As they stepped out of my SUV he said; "Good evening Ms. Mason and Ms. Wells, it's nice to see you again. Welcome to the Goldenrod."
I was walking around the front of the car. Kelly gestured towards me. "Jeff, do you remember my husband, Timothy Jamieson? He was here with me a little over a week ago."
Jeff nodded. "Oh yes, I remember your husband. Everyone at the Goldenrod remembers Mr. Jamieson." He smiled at me. "Good evening Mr. Jamieson, it's nice to see you again."
Smiling, I said; "Thank you Jeff, I'll try to avoid making a scene tonight."
Jeff shook his head. "No Mr. Jamieson, all of us are glad that you did that. The man was a rude bully who enjoyed insulting and tormenting the staff here. Everyone who works at the Goldenrod was ecstatic when you put him in his place. He hasn't been back since that night and none of us miss him."
I wasn't quite sure how I should respond to Jeff's comment. I disliked bullies, but to me challenging them was an evil necessity and not something to be proud about. Earlier that day Mr. Jackson had commented that I didn't seem to be afraid of anything. I had facetiously told him that I was afraid of spiders. In fact that was a lie. I was afraid of lots of things. I just refused to allow my fears to keep me from doing what I believed was right.
I've always been a skinny little wimp. In high school all of my friends were skinny little wimps just like me. One day, during my junior year, five of us were eating lunch in the cafeteria. We were minding our own business when Jerome Tichman and two of his buddies walked up to my friend Ricky Paulson and demanded the cookie Ricky had on his tray.
An overweight, loud mouthed senior; Jerome was the right offensive tackle on our not very good football team. That was his one and only claim to fame. Ricky was a timid, scrawny little math and computer wizard who just wanted to be left alone. It had taken almost our entire sophomore year to convince Ricky that it would be safe for him to eat his lunch with us in the cafeteria.
I took a quick look around. Two tables away a group of four senior girls were quietly eating lunch. Jerome kept glancing in their direction. I immediately understood. Jerome didn't care about the cookie, he was humiliating Ricky in an attempt to impress the girls.
I knew it wouldn't do any good, but I told Jerome to leave Ricky alone. Jerome laughed and in a loud voice told me to shut the fuck up or he'd take my cookie too.
Now everyone was watching us.
I stood up. Jerome was a half a head taller than I was and outweighed me by at least a hundred pounds. I was terrified, but I wasn't going to let Jerome humiliate Ricky. At least he wasn't going to do it without a fight.
Jerome stared at me for a moment and then he asked me what the fuck I was going to do.
I again told him to leave Ricky alone.
Sneering at me, Jerome reached for Ricky's cookie.
I punched him in the nose. I may have been small, but I was quick. The punch took Jerome by surprise. He dropped to his knees in tears. Blood was running down his chin. His two buddies stepped forward. I put up my fists. It was a futile gesture. The element of surprise was gone. I knew that Jerome's two friends were going to kick my ass, but I wasn't going to go down without a fight.
Suddenly the two teachers who were on lunchroom duty stepped between us. The confrontation was over. They took us to the office. All four of us were suspended. The assistant principal who suspended me told me that he understood why I'd done what I did, but I'd thrown a punch so I had to go for three days. Those were the rules.
My aunts came to pick me up. I was grounded and had to spend the three days I was suspended from school cleaning the basement and the garage. In their house fighting was not condoned.
That night I couldn't sleep. As I lay in bed I kept thinking about Jerome. I didn't question my actions. I did what had to be done. I couldn't let him humiliate Ricky. What bothered me was that in defending Ricky I'd humiliated Jerome. I knew that he'd deserved it and he hadn't given me any other choice, but I still felt bad that I'd had to do it.
I smiled at Jeff. "I'm glad that he's not bothering you anymore, but I wish it hadn't happened and I hope that I'll never again find myself in a situation like that one."
Jeff nodded. "Mr. Jamieson, I understand; but tonight, in the Goldenrod, you are still going to be treated like a hero."
As we walked into the restaurant Kelly whispered; "Timmy why did you say that to Jeff? These people want to treat you like a hero, why don't you just enjoy it?"
