Paying the Parking Rate
The bar served a decent shrimp dinner, and Quinn appeared to enjoy my company. She was especially amused by the stories of my tricks with my husband. "You're man is a total freak, but then they all are," she said in-between laughter. "Don't get me wrong, my best customers are all freaks; I love those kind of men. They make me money."
"Speaking of that kind of thing, I'd love to know how to give a head like you."
"Ah, you saw the look on Henry's face when I was sucking his cock." She leaned in close and lowered her voice. "The secret is that your mouth isn't what gets them off."
"What do you mean? That's why they call it a blowjob."
"That's what men think. They see you putting their cock in your mouth and it's a dominance thing. Subliminally, they believe we're submitting to them. The mistake most women make is to try to shove as much of the penis in their mouth as possible and wind up gagging on it by deep throating. It looks good in porno videos, doesn't it? However, the real stimulation is what you do with your hands. Cup the balls and work the shaft. The mouth is just a place to hold the cock. The magic is to make the man think he's in control, when it's really the woman that's running everything."
I thought back to how she brought Henry to attention. She barely had the tip of his rod past her lips.
"He'd swear I'd taken in every inch of it. It isn't necessary and rubbing his balls is far more stimulating."
"So you controlled the entire thing?"
"Men love to believe they're the ones in control. That's why so many politicians spent their time trying to tell women what we can and can't do with our own bodies."
"You really believe it's all a dominance thing?"
"I worked in the state capital for two years. The traditional value party guys would draft laws to protect the public from people like me during the day, yet they're the biggest freaks of all. I fucked so many of those wingnut hypocrites. I made sure to charge them double, too."
"You've been doing this a long time?"
"Since I was eighteen. So, it's been nine years. I retire in another five. I only work four days a week, and I pull in two hundred K a year. I pay tax though a dummy corporation and even have an IRA earning pretty good interest."
My eyes betrayed me when they inadvertently got larger. Dave worked his ass off and wasn't pulling in that much. "And you like what you do?"
"I tried an office job once. I thought the boredom would kill me. I love what I do. I have sex several times a day. I usually don't get off with the pipers, but it's not unpleasant. I don't have a pimp or madam. I work for myself."
She looked me directly in the eyes and said in a serious tone. "That's what I liked about you. You showed initiative today. With a bit of chutzpah in this business, you can avoid the pitfalls and do well. Not that I'm looking for more competition, mind you."
I was almost sorry that our time was up. Dave would be home in another hour. I stood to leave and thanked her for speaking to me. I had a bunch of new ideas from things she'd told me about her own adventures. Still, something stopped me. "Could we get together again? I really enjoy your company."
I was speaking the truth. I didn't have any real female friends. The married woman in my sphere had kids or were about to. The single girls, had nothing in common with me anymore. Since I didn't work, there were no women business associates. I felt a connection with Quinn that I didn't with anyone else. I wanted her as a friend.
She smiled. I'm sure it amused her that a Pro-tender like me wanted to hang with a dedicated professional sex worker like her. "Sure, I'm off on Tuesday. I usually go to a nude beach to chill. You want to join me? You can tell me how your weekend went with your solo patron."
She handed me a business card. It had her cell number and the name of her company, Quinn's Personal Fitness. She laughed, "I do help keep my clients in rock hard shape."
I arrived home just before Dave. He was clueless about my day's adventures, although he was surprised when I was the one that instigated sex that night; even more so, when I insisted on him going down on him twice. He would have become very suspicious had he known I masturbated for an hour after he fell asleep.

By Friday night, I had a wild evening mapped out for Penny. She met Dave at the customary motel room. By now, I was getting a discount rate that made it cheaper to rent for a full week at a time. He knocked on the door and expected to come inside once I opened it.
"Sorry, Baby. You're taking me out tonight. They're bug bombing the room," I lied.
