*******************************************************************************
My husband Dave and I were on a holiday in New York for New Yea's Eve. We were staying at the Hilton on Times Square. When 'it' happened, we were in the 42nd and Sky lounge having an after-dinner drink. I was in my LBD. The naughtiness of having no underwear on had me all revved up. Dave was getting lucky tonight.
Then who should walk in? None other than multi billionaire Ted Winters. He scanned the room and of all things Ted settled his gaze on me! I looked back at him. Not only was Ted Winters rich he was also gorgeous. Tonight, he had on a silk shirt and pants tailored to highlight his significant package.
He approached our table, his bodyguards hanging back.
"May I join you for a moment?"
"Of course," said my husband. He was Ted Winters after all, the true master of the art of a deal billionaire.
"You look like a nice couple, and I don't want to take up too much of your time, but I would like to make you an offer."
"What kind of offer?" Dave inquired.
"It regards your wife, she is a stunning beauty, and I would like to give her a kiss, in fact I would like to make love to her. For the privilege of making love, I will pay you $2,000,000. For the honor of just a kiss $200,000."
We both were too shocked to answer, Ted continued.
"Finish your drinks and make your decision. I will be in my room; Marco will wait to take you there if you choose to accept."
Then he got up shook Dave's hand and left with the other bodyguard. The one that stayed behind must be Marco. He stationed himself by the bar.
Dave right away was adamant "sex was off the table." I wholeheartedly agreed. Yet what about just a kiss?
"It's only a kiss honey, just think $200K for a kiss!" my husband stated eagerly.
"If it's only a kiss why don't you kiss him!" was my retort.
It went back and forth until our drinks were done. Dave wore me down by countering all my arguments by repeating "it's just a kiss" I reluctantly agreed, and we approached Marco.
Dave said,
"just a kiss."
