RANCH HANDS - part one
Dean turned slightly, as his rising penis was blocking the view of Keira's anxious face. Her apprehension showed, perhaps not just because she was the newest girl in Brandy's Ranch, but also because of things she had said to him not too long ago.
"Ironic, isn't it?" he mused as he readied a condom on the nightstand. "She's wondering if I'm angry and I'm wondering if I'm up for her after this week." It had been quite a week. He slid into bed and Keira opened her mouth to speak. Dean touched his finger to his lips in a shushing motion, smiled, and stretched out. His strong right arm drew her down, and instead of issuing apologies or explanations, her lips took in his filling manhood.

SATURDAY: The flight
The plane was in the air and the seatbelt light was off. Dean switched on his laptop. Normally, as a retired agent for a small and underfunded U.S. government intelligence unit, he would not have done this in the tight confines of airline coach seats, but perhaps he had grown careless. Anyway, when he thought about it later, the rare appearance of an empty center seat made his viewing seem more secure. And - at first - it was just text on his screen. The young woman in the aisle seat was listening, eyes closed, to the headset music.
It was a letter from me that he was reviewing, a request and an explanation. You will remember Brandy Adams from the case titled "Sound Experience". She had achieved one of her objectives, opening "Brandy's Ranch" in a Nevada county where well-regulated prostitution was a constitutional right, almost as important to the locals as the Second Amendment. But she was trying to raise the standards - and as a businesswoman, the income - of the industry by introducing new concepts. Brandy's Ranch bordered on a lake, had a work-out gym, and a cook who turned out great meals. And, it had the feature that led to the invitation to Dean.
Each of the girls' rooms in what were called "pleasure pods" had a computer linked to Brandynet. Of course, for those who needed inspiration, there were a variety of pornographic resources in the Favorites list, but what Dean was to launch was the customer satisfaction survey. Brandy's idea was to use SurveySimian to rate the customers' experiences and their potential interest in returning, trying new services, etc.
================================================================================
A few weeks before Dean had headed west, Chloe Demeter and I had joined Brandy and Rick, her new right-hand man, for a few days. Chloe, prize-winning photographer, had been assigned by a leading website to document this new-mode brothel. In the late afternoon and evening, Rick and I had to stay clear of the customers, but in the morning I enjoyed joining him on his maintenance rounds. Even compact florescent light bulbs need replacing eventually, especially with so many on all night.
"Brandy needs someone knowledgeable to test the SurveySimian system," he remarked one morning as I helped him shore up a broken bed leg. "You'd be good at that."
"I don't think I would be the right man. I never told you, but I'm sort of ambivalent about prostitution."
Rick had a quizzical look.
"I mean, I wouldn't knock a man or woman for it, but it never appealed to me."
"I see. We run into that here in Nevada, too. The sheriff stops by some mornings for coffee with Brandy and me, but on First Responders Night he's home with his wife while most of his off-duty deputies are down here taking advantage of the half-price special. [Brandy foregoes the house share of the charges, but her girls receive their normal 50%.] Did I tell you that the paramedics are the fastest?"
"No, you didn't..." and our conversation drifted away to other topics, including Rick's progress in dealing with his PTSD.
Rick and I watched from the porch of Brandy's ranch house on the hill above the rest of her property as the SUV's and limos from Reno cruised into the dusty parking lot. Some of the men edged cautiously toward the lounge chairs at the lakeside, others walked confidently as though they had been there before. Brandy welcomed them, chatted with returning customers, answered nervous questions from the new comers. Then, she waved toward the girls' rooms and they came out in bath robes. When I first saw this, I was puzzled, but one by one, they slipped out of the robes, revealing their well-exercised figures in a variety of bathing suits. One was topless - "that's Caitie, she's something of an exhibitionist" commented Rick. I remembered that Chloe had mentioned her as one of the girls who was willing to be photographed for the more erotic photos in the website series.
