It was a world in which two things converged; lust and love. Lust was the game we played here, and love was the illusion of smoke and mirrors. It was a world of crimson and grey; grey coming to our world of crimson in order to fantasize that they lived the crimson day in and day out. The smoke and mirrors was our job in the game of lust. We created the passion that bellowed within their loins, and rattled up through their heart. We were the Ladies of the Bordello.
The city was that of peace and faith. Our corner of the town, though, held an edge of darkness that those of the light came to tempt once in awhile. Their wives would never admit it, but we were the women who taught their men the ways of the flesh that caused their cries into the night. That was the only reason we remained in business in this quiet town.
The Bordello taught a woman a lot about men. Those who wore any sort of jewelry tended to have an aire of an actor, one with skill in flirtation, but rarely lived up to the bragging they did downstairs upstairs. And a man in a suit with manners, and a charming smile, who bought you your drink, and entertained you in a gentleman-like manner, was often quite a cat in bed. The quiet ones were often just as quiet in bed, and the obnoxious ones proved to follow their tone in bed as well. One other thing this place taught a woman was how to fake her climax with the best of them. This was a good talent to have when your husband just cannot learn the right techniques.
Yes, some of the Ladies were married, including myself. My husband had a thirst for watching me fuck another man, he liked to watch from a secret place off the balcony, or place a video recorder in my private room for his pleasures later. Sometimes I despised him for his hunger, other times it was quite enjoyable. The times I hated it were generally with the worse kind of man he could find. He liked to watch me scream, to cry out for a brutal man to stop. He never came to my rescue. Some husband, I know. But I had no choice but to remain his own.
