Luke noticed the glimmer in my eye. He said, "He's a little old for you, isn't he?" He said, "My little Tinker bell has the hots for this old guy, doesn't she?"
I giggled and said, "I can't help it. Come dance with me." I led him onto the floor. I whispered in Luke's ear, "I would guess he is in his early fifties. He is ten years younger than Bobby Wilkinson is, and only six or eight years older than you are. He did excite me. I think he is the one."
Luke asked, "The one for what?"
I let him wait for a few seconds while I thought about what to say now. Finally, I said, "He is the rich old gentleman that I'm going to sell my body to. I want to be his whore for one night." I paused and said, "We are leaving tomorrow afternoon. It needs to happen tonight." I felt Luke stiffen in my arms. I gave him a few seconds, and then I said, "Whoring myself out is on my bucket list. Pl-e-e-a-a-se let me have this fantasy."

Luke asked, "What about his wife?"
I answered, "I asked about her. He lost her three years ago. She was killed in a car wreck. That's when he became involved in the hospital work. His donations are in her honor. He still wears her ring.
He said, "The fact is, Sweetheart, I had different plans for you tonight. I don't want to spend this night in an empty bed."
I said, "Look around you. This isn't that sleazy swinger club. There are twenty pretty girls within rock throwing distance. I always have to watch them flirt with you everywhere we go. Pick one, or two for that matter. We have both spread ourselves around lately but you haven't had a new girl in a while. I will give you a pass for a free hunt." I paused and said, "I'll buy you a hooker. I could probably get a discount since I am about to join their ranks." I giggled.
He asked, "How long have you been plotting this?"
I thought, "I have to tell him the truth." I said, "Since before Jerry and I finished our dance." That was technically the truth. It was a couple days before we finished the dance. I knew it was a lie. "I thought, "I'll make it right later." Then I thought, "It's a lie. I couldn't make it right later." I amended my statement. I said, "I've been thinking about him since the day after we got here. I met him in the elevator while you were at that meeting."
I let it rest a minute while I caught my breath. Luke was quiet. His silence said, "Tell me more."
I said, "I let him pick me up and show me around the casino. I didn't know who he was but I knew he was special. I was impressed with him, but I didn't think anything would come of it, so I didn't mention him to you. I decided I wanted him sometime later." I paused and said, "We're a long way from home. This is a good place to do this and Jerry is the perfect candidate. We know he is a good man and he isn't a cop." I giggled and said, "We need some adventure on this trip. This is our last night unless we extend."
Luke asked, "Have you already made a deal with him?"
I could truthfully answer this one. I replied, "No. I haven't promised him anything. We have flirted some and I let him feel me up when we danced. I've let him kiss me." I thought, "Damn girl you don't need to tell everything you know." Then I thought, "Yes you do. This is Luke." I said, "I told him I would try to find a way to spend some time with him later."
Luke asked, "How much are you going to try to get for my sweet wife's body?"
I smiled and answered, "If five hundred is the going price, I think I can get three times that." I repeated my thought, "Fifteen hundred."
Luke chuckled and asked, "Why do you think you can get that much?"
I replied, "He told you that I'm the prettiest girl in the city." I giggled and whispered in his ear, "Genuinely wet pussy is worth more than the K-Y jelly the rest of these bitches are peddling." I finally got the laugh out of Luke that I needed. I knew he was going to give me a pass.
He said, "Okay go for it. I know that Jerry is a good man. At least, I know him by reputation. He has a very good reputation. You won't be in any danger." He paused and then said, "Now listen to me. I won't have you settle for a penny less, and I want half the money. That's a better deal than most pimps would give you." Then he asked, "What part do I play in this?" We laughed together. Our adventure had begun.
I said, "Let's go play blackjack for a few minutes. When you are ready to go on your hunt, we will leave together. I will wait for twenty minutes and come back. I will find him and tell him that you went to play poker all night. Then I will proposition him and tell him how much it's going to cost him. The hooker aspect of this is my fantasy. The idea that I am cheating is his. If I can't make a deal, I'll go back to our room. You can call to see if I'm there if you want." I paused and said, "Don't take anyone to our room. I might need to go there anytime."
He said, "As fate would have it, I met a woman at the presentation. I know how to call her. I might not have to go on a hunt if she is available tonight. She was hot to trot the other day."
We sat down at the blackjack table. Luke said, "I'll be ready to go in half an hour."
I agreed to that and watched for jerry. He made his appearance ten minutes later and took a seat three tables across from us. We could see each other, but I doubted that Luke would notice him."
Luke said, "Jerry won't be hard to find. He just sat down three tables that way." He motioned with a nod of his head.
That's another reason that I am always truthful with Luke. I know inside I'm not likely to get anything over on him. He can read my mind and he always knows what is going on around him. He calls it, situational-awareness.
A half hour passed. We picked up Luke's chips and left. I mouthed to Jerry to wait for me. He acknowledged that he understood. I promised Luke that I would be back in our room by eleven the next morning. He said that he would be there in time to check out.
Twenty minutes after that, I walked up to Jerry and kissed his cheek. I sat down beside him. He looked at me and smiled. He pushed a stack of ten one-hundred dollar chips to the line. While the cards were dealt, he asked, "How much time do we have?"
I replied, "I have to be clean, sparkly and in my room by eleven tomorrow morning. It would be better if I were there a bit earlier." I said, "I need to stop by my room on the way to yours. I have to pick up the things I will need. You can't go with me."
He suggested that I leave now and meet him in his room in fifteen minutes. He gave me his room number. It was three floors above ours.
I said, "We could do that, but we haven't made a deal yet."
He laughed and said, "I was sure we had."
I smiled and giggled. I said, "We haven't discussed the financial arrangements at all."
He laughed a bit louder this time and then he whispered, "You are a hooker, then?"
I reached up and touched the tip of his nose with my finger. I said, "No, silly man. I am a housewife from North Texas, as advertised." I continued, "If you decide to pay my price to get me to spend the night with you in your room, then I will have become a hooker. I've never done this before, but it has always been my fantasy to whore myself out to one special man for one night." I paused and then said, "It will also be the best money you ever spent." I giggled.
He was laughing continuously now. He asked, "What is your price, if I may ask?"
