'Sordid, but hot', my wife Jane commented, fascinated by what she was seeing.
We had agreed to dog sit for three nights for some friends. Rather than bring their spaniel and all its clutter to our house, they suggested we make it a bit of a break and stay over in the city in their flat, or apartment, as American's would call it. So that's what we did. It was not too far from Temple Meads, the main railway station in Bristol. And from the fifth story we had a great view across the city.
It was our first night. We had eaten out, a cheap but good ethnic restaurant, and then meandered our way back to the flat. The warm summer night air from what the papers were calling a heatwave filled the room. While Jane quickly bathed I opened a bottle of chilled and very good Chablis our friends had left for us as a 'thank you'. I managed to locate some matches and lit the three large cathedral candles lined up on the dining table, and turned out the lights so we could make the most of our view of the city spread out before us. Jane emerged into the room naked, smiled at me. She had forgotten to pack her nightshirt, so as I watched she slipped her thin summer dress back on and then joined me out on the balcony. It was very pleasant in the slightly cooler air, the two of us leaning on the cast iron balustrade, surveying the world around us.
''There she is again' Jane commented.
'She's pretty; I wonder why she does it?' I asked.
The 'she' was a working girl, a prostitute. Late teens, nice looking, good figure, very short skirt. We had noticed her earlier, along with some other girls, hanging discreetly on the street corner across the way.
'I wonder how many men she, well... does, each night?' Jane speculated idly.
I shrugged 'No idea to be honest. Two. Three?'
'I bet its more.'
'Really?'
'Oh yeah. I wonder what it's like?' she continued, sipping her wine.
'What what is like?' I asked.
'To fuck. For money.' My wife replied.
'Awful?'
'Not if you like money. And fucking.' she replied, smiling and raising a questioning eyebrow.
We continued to watch and chat.
Just then a car slowed to a stop and girl stepped forward, head down to speak to the driver. A deal must have been struck because she walked around to the passenger side and climbed in. We watched the Audi disappear round the corner, and went back to our wine.
Neither of us noticed her being dropped off, but less than half an hour later Jane just said
'Look, there she is again, that didn't take too long did it?' and we both giggled and sipped our wine.
'I wonder how much she charges?' Jane asked.
'Dunno, fifty quid a pop?' I speculated.
'Easy money for twenty minutes work!' she giggled again.
'Hardly!' I countered.
Less than five minutes later we watched as a man walked down the street past her. We heard her say something to him, but she was too far away for us to make out her words. He hesitated, and then stopped and she made her pitch. It must have been persuasive because it hadn't looked like he had come this way for this purpose. Nevertheless when she turned and walked away from us he looked over his shoulder, and then followed a few paces behind. We couldn't see more because of the angle of the road.
'Well, that's going to be a hundred quid simply in the time we have been out here'. Jane commented with a hint of admiration in her voice. Just then she leaned forward and I saw her concentrating.
'Look! Over there between the buildings.' she said her voice more urgent.
What? I asked
'There, in that alley, that's them!'
She was right. The young woman and her punter must have turned down a small alleyway, the entrance of which was out of sight, and reappeared in a very small walled parking area, about big enough for four or five cars. I remembered when we walked past the building earlier that there had been a small alleyway sandwiched between a chemist and a solicitor's office, so I guessed this was the private parking for the solicitors. It wasn't well lit, but a security light on another building meant it wasn't in darkness either. We watched fascinated as he handed her something, money presumably, which she tucked in her handbag.
'There you go, fifty quid I bet.' I said, very slightly uneasy that we were watching, but totally unable to not watch.
Then we saw her carefully place her handbag on the ground, and reach unselfconsciously under her short skirt to pull down her knickers. She stepped carefully out of them in her high heels and popped them in her handbag. She then dropped to her knees and unzipped him.
'Blow job!' I continued my commentary.
However I was wrong, what she did next was reach into her handbag.
'No, condom' Jane rightly guessed. The girl expertly opened the packet and rolled the condom on. Although we couldn't make out detail what was happening was unmistakable. Then she stood and hitched her skirt up around her middle, her lower half now bare other than her high heels, and lent back against the wall. The man felt her pussy for a few moments then tucked an arm under each knee and lifted her so she was splaying her wide open. We could see his bottom between her bobbing legs as he roughly fucked her up against the wall.
'Oh My!' Jane exclaimed in fascination. She too was unable to turn her eyes away from the human drama below as the young girl was being screwed.
I turned to look at my wife, who like me leant against the cast iron balustrade. She was biting her lip and didn't even notice me glance at her she was so focused on the coupling. The woman had her arms around his neck for support and her face visible over his shoulder. I was sure she must see us as he pounded her, but if she did she gave no sign. I wasn't sure but I even thought I could hear him grunt as he very obviously came, his fast rhythm changing to half a dozen slower really pronounced thrusts causing her knees to flex and her legs to straighten.
They were done. Her client released her knees and her legs fell to the ground and their bodies parted. They were motionless a moment, both looking down, presumably removing the condom. We saw him toss it aside.
'Eeeew, ucky!' Jane commented. I remember smiling and hoping some young lady solicitor didn't accidentally stand on it in the morning.
In a second he turned and was lost from sight, leaving the young woman alone. We watched as she quickly took a tissue or wipe of some sort from her bag and used it on her bits, requiring a very unladylike stance. She then retrieved her knickers from her bag and stepped back into them. Finally she rolled her tight skirt back down and straightening herself.
Three minutes later she was back on the street, talking on her mobile phone. Five minutes later another girl joined her and then shortly after a taxi pulled up and the two climbed in and sped away. Work was done for the night and for us the show was over. However just before the girl stepped into the taxi she hesitated, looked up at us, smiled and waved cheerily.
'Oh God she knew we were watching her!' Jane exclaimed in embarrassment.
