SEVENTEEN
As we have seen, Sophia still had two more sessions with the Egyptian to 'look forward to'. He had indicated, however, shortly before she left his apartment that he would be travelling to his properties in the east after Christmas and perhaps they could meet again after Easter. That suited Sophia just fine and also allowed her to begin planning something that had been on her mind for some time now: a threesome with Myška and Piri. Her interest had been further piqued after a morning of pleasure with the nanny - she had told her bank she needed to work from home on account of the nanny going down with something - when Myška had shown her a photo of her flatmate. Ethnically Hungarian, she had moved to the Czech Republic when she was 12 and spoke the language fluently. A couple of years older than Myška, she had a most unusual look: high cheekbones, a long chin, a straight nose of perfect proportion, arched eyebrows, perfect teeth, dark eyes and the most gorgeous raven hair. She was a classic case of the whole being greater than the sum of the parts.
The opportunity to turn fantasy into reality came after Christmas, when Peter told her that he would need to travel to Stockholm again to meet prospective clients. Since they had been introduced to his company by the clients he had visited the previous year, this trip would involve business meetings with the new people and drinking sessions with the old ones. The Swedes did enjoy a party.
Sophia sounded Myška out about a girls' night in over that weekend and arrangements were made accordingly. As the big day approached, Myška asked her boss if she liked toys. Assuming she meant vibrators, she said she had used one once but found her fingers a lot more satisfying. Myška explained what she had in mind. Piri was an expert in the use of a strap-on dildo and had told Myška that she would be happy to use it on Sophia if she found the idea appealing. Sophia said Piri should bring it along and she would see how she felt on the night. In fact, she was incredibly excited at the prospect, but knew better than to seem desperate. Let the Hungarian beg her for the privilege, she thought.
Myška and Piri arrived shortly before nine on a crisp January evening. Myška sported an early Angelina Jolie look of white blouse with plunging neckline and chic blue jeans with cowboy style belt, while Piri had opted for a burgundy bandage mini dress with shoulder straps, with matching stockings and heels. Sophia had ummed and aahed about what to wear and had finally settled on a sleeveless black lacy bodysuit blouse with a sheer floral pattern above the bust and a short matt black leather skirt with a subtle semi slit over the left thigh. Her black stiletto heels completed the ensemble.
The three women sat around the kitchen table sipping their drinks, allowing Piri and Sophia to size each other up. The brunette was possessed of a somewhat melancholic air and smiled rarely. When she did, her perfect teeth lit up in a way that her eyes seldom did. Despite her seeming unconcern about what people thought about her (or maybe because of it) she exuded sexuality. Sophia felt uncomfortable in her presence, as she had in the presence of another brunette - Veronique - but it was an unease that craved release in being dominated. Sophia wished it could be otherwise - and maybe one day it would - but for now she knew in which direction the road to fulfilment lay. Piri in her turn said little and appeared not to regard the blonde woman, but what she saw and what she had heard about her made her determined to drive her over the edge that night, and - who knew? - perhaps on days to come.
Preliminaries completed, Sophia led the two women up to her bedroom. She wasn't sure exactly how things ought to get started, but Piri seemed happy to assume the role of director.
'It seems a pity to take your clothes off after you have obviously spent so much thought and money on them,' she said, 'so perhaps you can do a little dance for us first.'
'Wow! I wasn't expecting that,' said Sophia. 'Do we have any music?'
'Myška,' said Piri, 'perhaps you would be so good as to partner Sophia. I think it can be so much more sensuous without music. So let us try without. If you are willing to lose yourselves in each other, then you can make your own music.'
Myška took Sophia's right hand with her own and placed it on her shoulder. Her left hand she put on her waist. She positioned her own hands in the same way on Sophia. Keeping a distance of a few inches from the older woman, she swayed from side to side - evoking San Francisco in the early 1970s but without the beads and the headband and the spaced-out look. Sophia began to move in response, so that soon they were moving almost as one. The distance between them had diminished to such an extent that the Czech girl's jeans began to rub against Sophia's skirt. Just as the blonde was starting to feel aroused, Myška spun her around, twirling her right hand around Sophia's above their heads. They completed several languid spins before resuming their former position. Piri looked on from the armchair, showing little interest and saying nothing. For all the world it looked as though she were in a doctor's waiting room. Only the old magazines were missing.
Back on the dance floor, Myška decided that the time was ripe to test her boss's resolve. She leant forward and kissed Sophia lightly on the neck, before moving up and nibbling her ear lobe. Sophia turned her head, seeking her nanny's mouth, but Myška was having none of it, intent on letting Sophia know who was the boss here. Instead, she resumed where she had left off, dipping her tongue into Sophia's ear. Sophia sighed and moved her body into Myška's to signal her desire to move matters forward with rather more expedition, her nipples pushing hard against the black cotton as if they sought a way out.
Myška stepped back and told Sophia that if she wasn't obedient and patient she would receive nothing from either Piri or herself.
'I want to hear you say that you understand me,' she concluded.
'I understand,' said Sophia.
'And what else?'
'I will be obedient.'
'Who to?'
'To you and to Piri.'
'On your knees.'
She fell silently to her knees. Piri rose from her chair and walked across to Sophia. She clearly had something to say.
'Do you admit you are an adulterous whore?'
The lawyer in Sophia felt she should not incriminate herself.
'I don't know what you are talking about,' Sophia replied at length.
'You fuck other men. You fuck women.'
'Other men, no,' said Sophia, unable to believe that could know about her recent encounter.
'You do not fuck rich clients of your bank to gain promotions?'
Sophia was silent. What was she to do?
'You have a choice. Either you tell the truth or we leave at once. You have 30 seconds to make up your mind.'
One of them must have followed her, Sophia thought. If they already knew, what was the point in denying it? If they wanted to blackmail her, then she would have to tell Peter.
'Yes, I fucked him.'
'Did you enjoy it?'
'No.'
'Good. Now we have an understanding. Did you think you could fuck anyone you wanted to and get away with it? Do you not teach your children that actions have consequences?'
'I, I like sex. I like the excitement of sex. I like illicit sex.'
'Do you want to have sex with me?'
'Yes, very much.'
'Why?'
'Because you are deep and mysterious and sad. And because you turn me on.'
'And then you would discard me like you discard the rest.'
'Maybe. I don't know.'
'You are dressed like a whore. Take your clothes off. Slowly.'
Sophia stood up and went across to the chair by the table so she could more easily take her shoes off.
'Leave them on.'
She returned to where she had been standing and unzipped her skirt. She pulled it down over her thighs slowly, not in any particularly effort to be seductive but because it was such a tight fit.
