Chapter Four
I had almost forgotten about that discussion.
My Millie was back and I was happy. She was smiling and witty and vibrant and full of energy.
Then, one Thursday night, she brought me a drink, something she rarely did, and said "we have to talk."
It didn't register on me until she sat on the footstool, facing me, and said "Davey, I've got the urge."
I felt an adrenaline rush as though I had just seen a vicious dog coming at me. I froze.
She kept looking at me. "How are we going to do it?"
I had managed to push the entire subject out of my mind and now it was suddenly blank.
Her little smile was disappointed.
"It's okay honey," she said, patting my knee a little, "I've felt it coming and I think I know how we can handle it."
I drew in a deep breath and said "tell me."
So she lined out her plan and it was a good one.
We would find a downtown hotel that was hosting a convention, and since there was always a convention going on in Denver that wouldn't be a problem. We would get a room and get her settled in. When she was ready, she would call my cell phone and then leave hers on the nightstand so that the connection would stay in place. She would go to the bar, make her pickup and take him to the room. I would be able to hear everything and would be able to get in, using my own room key card, if anything happened.
While she was saying all of this, in a very straightforward manner, as if she was making a presentation to a client, my heart was pounding.
"Is that okay," she asked.
"Yes," I said, not knowing what else to say.
I was surprised when she slipped off of the footstool to be on her knees in front of me. Her eyes held mine as she undid my belt and my zipper and I was rigidly erect when she worked me out of my shorts.
I watched as her lips took the head, her tongue doing that thing she did, making me moan softly.
She took her time with me that night. It was almost an hour before I came and there was something amazingly erotic about watching her throat work as she swallowed as I ejaculated into her mouth. She was still holding me in her mouth as she looked up at me, her eyes smiling.
Then she got up and kissed me very lightly and whispered "Thank you, Davey."
Then she was gone, and soon I heard the shower running.
That next day I might as well have stayed home. All I could think of was the night to come. I left work early and was home by 4:00.
Millie was jumpy, almost jittery. She was flitting around, getting a small overnight bag ready. When I touched her she jumped away and when I kissed her it was like she was frightened of me. I gave up and left her to her business.
When she finally came out of the bedroom, about 6:00, I could barely recognize her. Usually, she dressed in slacks or jeans and a shirt. Tonight she had on a sheer blouse with a red bra showing clearly through it. A wrap-around skirt, short, black, set off the whiteness of the blouse. Her hair was done in a bubble around her head. She had on much more makeup than usual, with a bright blue eye shadow highlighting her big eyes, and scarlet lipstick. Jangly earrings that I couldn't remember seeing before, a heavy semi-precious stone bracelet, and a rhinestone choker completed her accessories. Ridiculously high heels on her ankle strap shoes completed her outfit or, I suppose, her costume.
She wouldn't meet my eyes as she waited by the door.
I sighed and opened the door for her. At the hotel, I turned the car over to the valet and went in to get us registered.
Up in room 2117, it could not have been more awkward. She wouldn't meet my eyes and I didn't know how to let her know that it was okay. Finally, without saying anything, she punched in my cellphone number and when I answered carefully laid the cellphone behind the clock radio. Not hidden really, but not obvious.
She finally spoke.
"Okay Davey," she said, "if you're sure go on down to the bar."
When I went to kiss her she turned her face away and so I left without another word.
In the bar, I ordered a beer ("whatever's on tap") and found a seat at one of the hubcap size tables where I could see the doors and the bar.
The transformation that had occurred during the ensuing 10 minutes was something out of a Stephen King novel. When she walked in I barely recognized her.
Millie is hardly what would be called "demure." She is vibrant and outgoing. With her looks, she draws attention wherever she goes.
What walked through that door, though, was pure sex incarnate. Every motion of her body exuded her femaleness. Not femininity. Pure femaleness.
She went to the bar, looking almost like a little girl playing dress-up when she had to hop up onto the stool. I saw her order and saw the bartender bring her something in a conical glass with an umbrella in it. It was fascinating in a way, almost like watching a play.
I glanced at my watch and waited. It was less than a minute before the first man approached her. He was obviously an up and comer on the make with his sharply tailored suit, blow-dried hair, and his little flat briefcase. I saw her turn to him and exchange a few words and then he left, obviously disappointed.
Inside of two minutes a second suitor approached. This one was younger still, in casual chic. Designer jeans and an open collar with, of all things, penny loafers marked him as a recent graduate, perhaps an intern. Again, a few words were exchanged. I watched, fascinated as he made a second pitch and, although I could not hear her words, I knew her tone and realized she was letting him down, but so easily he would be grateful.
