Mikes older cousin phoned on Thursday night.
"Hi Jenny. I know it's short notice, but Chris is down in London until Sunday, and I was wondering if he could stay with you guys?"
Chris was Linda's son. He had just turned twenty, and was coming down to have a few nights out with friends after finishing the university year.
"Sure no problem Linda. Mikes away for the week, and I'm out on Friday for a 'business thing', but if he doesn't mind been alone in the house when I'm out no problem. I'll give him the spare key and he can come and go as he pleases."
The 'business thing' was something I had no intention trying to explain to Linda. It started two weeks earlier, just after new years. We had ended up playing a game called 'Saint or Sinner', with Mary and Anthony. Good, but rather square friends. The game itself was a Christmas present and total crap, with a 'working battery operated lie detector', which as it happens, didn't! Most of the questions were along the lines of:
'Have you ever fallen asleep at work, or ever used someone else's toothbrush etc? '
But occasionally a question came up that made the evening worthwhile. 'Have you ever shaved a part of your body other than the norm?'
'God yes. Every week.'
Everyone knew what I meant. 'A Bikini line?' asked Mary
' Umm, more than that.'
'A Brazilian?' She seemed truly surprised.
' No, no. Much more than that!' I smiled. Mary and Anthony looked at me in astonishment, though Anthony had something else there. Real interest.
The game continued with the usual crap, until, 'have you ever woken your partner in the middle of the night for sex?'
'I've lost count of the amount of blowjobs I've given at 3 in the morning.' Mary looked slightly disgusted and admitted she didn't like giving head. It was my turn to look surprised. 'So. Get Anthony to pay you.'
'What?'
'Sure. Mike pays me. Cash in hand before the deed. That way I get to buy myself some nice lingerie with the proceeds.'
Mary's jaw was almost on the ground, but Anthony was happy to pursue the line. 'How much do you pay Mike?'
'Depends really on what kind it is. Anything between £15 and £50.'
I could see Anthony wanted to find out more about the pricing, and what the differences could be, but Mary was looking a bit uncomfortable so I grabbed a card and moved the game along. There were a few more interesting questions, but the game was rubbish and we packed it in and headed home.
To my surprise about a week later Anthony arrived the house. Apparently he had an important business evening, and with Mary on a seminar, no one to go with. Would I be able to go with him? 'I'll pay you for your time,' he sort of blurted out.
I raised my eyebrows. I would have been happy to go along as a favour. 'Pay me?'
'Well yes, I thought.....'
'Sort of like an escort', I smiled
'Um well, no that's not what I.....'
'That's okay. As an escort is fine by me. The question is what do I charge?'
'I don't really know. I've never paid anyone before.'
'Really? Well it all depends on what exactly you expect of me.'
His discomfort at my ambiguousness was becoming acute. ' Uum, well I'm supposed to entertaining two businessmen at their hotel. It would be great if you could pretend to be Mary. They are from Europe and it's unlikely that I'll ever see them after the evening. So it would make things easier if you could act like Mary.'
I raised my eyebrows again. 'Act like Mary?'
'Well no, I mean pretend to be my wife.'
'Oh, so not act like Mary. Act like me, but married to you!' 'Err...Yes.'
I was really starting to enjoy teasing him, and making him feel uncomfortable, but knew that he was still excited about the way the conversation was going. 'Fair enough. How much like me, would you like me?'
'What do you mean?'
'Well do you want the demure attentive wife, like say Mary, or would it help with your business if I was a little less demure.'
'Well...I...erm...less demure would probably help a bit.'
'Only a bit?'
'Well probably a lot.'
'Okay so less than demure, and dressed to suit, yes?'
'Sorry' He really could be slow top catch on some times.
'Dressed sexy Anthony!'
'Umm, yes, that would be nice.
'So how long will it be?'
He looked confused. 'What?'
'How long will the evening be?'
He flushed red. ' Oh. Sorry. About 4-5 hours.' I placed my hand to my mouth and taped my finger to my lips. 'Okay. £250.'
'£250. Wow that's a lot!'
'It may sound a lot, but an escort will be more, and won't be nearly as discreet or accommodating Anthony. Of course I could go as Mary, and it would be half that.'
I could see what I was saying dawn on his face. He now knew that £250 was going to get him more than an escort. It would get him a business deal.
'Okay it's a deal. I'll pick you up at 6.30pm.'
'Make it 6pm. You can come in for a drink, and we can discuss some details for the evening. Oh, and don't forget, I take cash in hand Anthony.'
He smiled, remembering our evening the week before. 'Cash it is.'
I leant over and kissed him on the cheek, as I ushered him out the front door. ' I'll be worth it. Promise. I also don't think there's any need to tell Mary that your paying me.'
He flushed again and stumbled out of the door. I closed the door and grinned. I can be such a bitch sometimes.
The Wednesday of Chris' arrival came around in a flash. Mike had left for the week, the day before, so it was going to be just the two of us in the house. I hadn't seen him in 2 years. The last time was a Christmas weekend at their house, where I had teased him mercilessly for the two days we were there. We'd slept in his room, with him sent off to the lounge, on the sleeper couch. At 28 I was a real older woman in his eyes. He always seemed to find a reason to come into his room to 'fetch something'. It usually coincided with my return from the shower, or just when he knew I was getting changed to go to dinner.
I played along while he looked for 'the something', sitting on the bed in my towel drying my hair knowing full well he was trying to look up the skirt in the mirror. I made sure I'd bend over to get some sexy underwear out my case, struggling to locate it as the towel rode higher and higher up my thighs, or I'd let the front slip down as I dried my hair. Calmly pulling it up after it fell to allow him time to see my tits. He saw pretty much all of me those two days. I'd make a point of picking up one of his girly mags, asking what he thought of this ones tits or that ones legs. He was too shy to say much, so I gave him my opinion.
'I love her tits, she's got awesome nipples', and so on.
He must have had a constant hard on those 2 days. I did fantasize about letting him sit on the bed and jerk off, as I dried myself and got dressed in front of him, but the danger of mom and dad was ever present.
As I say that was two years ago, and a bet he was really hot about the idea of staying with me, especially with no Mike about. I got home and he was waiting in the front garden. He hadn't changed much still gingerly, and shy. 'Hi Chris.'
