My name is Jack. I'm a gigolo.
Chase away everything that crossed your mind the moment you read that. Forget Richard Gere in American Gigolo. Nice clothes and car, and who wouldn't have wanted to bang Lauren Hutton in her prime, but that's not me.
I also don't look like Fabio, the chiseled stallion on the cover of romance novels. In fact, I probably don't look like anything you would conjure up for someone in my line of work.
Think well-groomed high school English teacher, of medium height and build, in his mid-thirties who runs 5ks and lifts weights to stave off a paunch, not fill-out jeans a wife-beater. Trust me, schoolgirls never fawned over me, but their mothers did, and it was a pair of them that essentially fronted the start-up capital for me to hang out my shingle, so to speak.
I ply my trade in the Motor City, where the wives of auto executives waste away their lives blistering credit cards and raising kids. Who at age 40 have long ago quit wondering why in the world their husbands need to work 15-hour days to just to sell cars.
The higher the pay grade, the longer the hours. The longer the hours, the more lonely the wife. The more lonely the wife, the more demand for my product.
Last year I worked about a 12 days a month and made $250,000, plus about half that much again in tips. Toys and trinkets mostly, including a black on black 2004 Corvette convertible—a thank you from a Chevy dealer for keeping his wife company while he scooted across the border to Windsor, Ontario to suck-off young men in one of Canada's most notorious gay bars. To each his own.
I see a wide cross section of women in addition to the corporate widows. Wives of doctors, lawyers and even an Indian Chief; a guy who spends all of his time at the Detroit casino his tribe owns, interviewing former strippers for jobs as cocktail waitresses. Word is if a girl titty-fucks him and takes the flack on her chin she'll get a job serving the high roller tables. Probably making more money than me.
And you can forget the nonsense about how these proper women are only interested in male companionship. Looking for someone to escort them to charity events, museum openings, chamber music recitals and gallery auctions. Hell, they can get their husbands to do that; the men look at those functions as networking opportunities.
What they can't get their husbands to do is to spend time alone with them, between the sheets, fucking them senseless. Or going down on them. It's amazing how few of these corporate types lick pussy.
I've been told I've got a perfect cock, 8 ½ inches long and as thick as a wrist, but dollar for dollar, my clients will tell you my biggest asset is my tongue. My ability and willingness to lick a woman until she reaches orgasm has made me quite comfortable.
It's an interesting life, not a career path anyone's mother wishes her child to pursue, but at least I'm good at it. Pretty near top of my field. And it's great for someone with nosey, voyeuristic tendencies such as myself. The stories alone are almost worth as much as the money. Almost.
This is the first of the stories.
Julie's husband Mark was the youngest person in the history of the Ford Motor Company to be elected to the automaker's executive committee whose name wasn't Ford. That was 17 years ago. During that time they've made love 27 times. One time for each wedding anniversary over that span, and the other ten in order to impregnate Julie with their two children.
"Do you think I should get boobs?" Julie asked as we lay naked together under a comforter in a king size bed at the Troy Marriot. "Christ, I should do it just to see how long it takes him to notice."
This wasn't the first time she'd asked me that about this. Julie was self-conscious about her body. Few women her age aren't. Any age I guess. But she was very attractive, sporting that Lands End swimsuit model look, what I call a breast-less beauty. Each time she brought it up I reassured her she had nothing to worry about. I get paid for that, too.
"But I don't have any," she said, flopping her very small, flat breasts with her fingers. "That's probably why he won't sleep with me."
"He doesn't sleep with you because he's too preoccupied with Ford's quarterly earnings. Looking to whittle another penny off the cost of a door latch, another nickel off the price of a floor mat," I said.
We had made love an hour ago, ordered in fruit salads for lunch, and were watching Dr. Phil talk to a group of parents who had purchased breast implants for their daughters as high school graduation presents. Dr. Phil was lecturing on why he didn't think this was a very good idea.
I wasn't supposed to be with Julie today. I was supposed to be playing golf with Steve Yzerman, captain of the Detroit Red Wings, and a couple of our buddies at Oakland Hills. But Julie called in a panic this morning and told me to meet her at Tiffany's in the Somerset Mall Collection in Troy.
That was Julie's release. When she got pissed at her husband she would buy something she didn't want or need. Sometimes it was clothing; other times a new appliance. This was a common trait amongst my clients—making unnecessary purchases to strike back at their neglectful husbands. I have one client who purchased a small island in northern Lake Huron and shipped all of her husband's clothes and golf clubs to it, but that's another story.
Today was rather costly, from her husband Mark's perspective. It was their son's birthday and daddy had to go out of town after promising for weeks he wouldn't. Julie dropped something like $24,000, about a month of her husband's take-home pay, on some thingamabob she'll never wear.
It was her idea of foreplay, having me watch her spend her husband's money. It made her very hot and horny.
"I don't think I can make it to the hotel. Let's do it in the dressing room," she breathed into my ear, loud enough for the clerk who was ringing up the sale to hear. She caught him blush, so for good measure Julie made sure he saw her stroke my crotch when he returned with her purchase.
I slid a room key-card into the front pocket of her jeans and let my fingers linger, again for the benefit of the sales clerk. I told her I'd see her at the hotel.
Julie was waiting when I got there, I'd stopped to get gas and to let the mood swell, "Where'd you go?" she asked, "I thought you got a better offer and I was going to have to rent a dirty movie."
"We can still do that, if you like."
"I don't think we're going to need one. Come here."
She grabbed my tie and reeled me in, falling back on the bed and taking me down with her. We kissed for a long time, 15 or 20 minutes—my clients tend to be starved of all attention, not just carnal--before she pushed me away and told me she couldn't take it any more.
"You're going to go down on me, aren't you baby?" she coyly asked.
Unnecessary question. For $2,000, she's paying me eat her like I haven't had a meal in a week
"I wouldn't have it any other way," I said, and peeled off her jeans and panties while she worked on her blouse and bra.
