I left Houston, with the promise that a draft would be deposited in our account and was given a small but heavy box for Melanie. I was told that she would know when it could be opened. I also promised Winnie, that should she ever need another session, as she put it, I would be there to help.
She was one of those sound and good people that you come in contact with, every so often. She reminded me a lot of the man who set me up in business.
I also came away from Houston, with an idea, one that would probably be put to good use. Winnie had difficulty arching her back which may have lessened her sensations, not by much, but I am a believer in every little bit helps. We needed to find one of those hospital beds that raises and lowers in different spots and modify it. From what Melanie told me, this woman was involved in more high-society social clubs and knew more women than any four jet-setters. I could only believe that most of these women were around Winnies age. As a result, I could see where the modified bed would make a difference.
While I was waiting in the airport, I couldn't help but think of the first woman I met here in Houston. I felt I owed her a debt of gratitude that I would have gladly paid. I sent out a silent prayer that her son was well and that she no longer had to suffer at the hands of others, while looking for a little mercy and kindness.
I called Melanie and thanked her.
"Why," she asked.
"Because of the gift that you asked Winnie to give me. It was the thought of you that gave me the release I needed."
"I only wish I could have been there for you John. I hate this being apart even for just two days. I feel like part of me is missing."
"I know. It's the same with me."
"John, Carol and I talked." There was a long pause.
"Oh." I said, "You honestly don't expect me to be surprised do you?"
She chuckled, "No I guess not, but this effects all of us, including Mark."
"So, you two have finally decided to cut Mark in on the business. It's about time."
"John, I hate it when you do this to me. Here I am, all worried and you act like all this was your idea."
"Oh my lovely one with the short memory. That night with the twins, when Carol took Mark away, I told you what Carol secretly wanted and, just for the record, I was the one who brought them together."
"I know," she said. "Carol told me about your meddling and how you basically tricked them into having sex."
"Well, aren't you happy for Carol?"
"Of course I am."
"Well. Aren't you going to grovel at my feet and beg for forgiveness at ever doubting my work."
"Oh yes my darling." Her voice dripping with honey. "Just as soon as you bring home a pig with wings."
"Over did it, huh."
"As usual," she replied.
"We're boarding now. See you in a few hours."
"I'll be there to pick you up."
----------
We met, hugged and kissed like a seen from a movie. Then Melanie grabbed my hand saying. "Come on I want to get you home and screw your lights out."
"Can I play with you on the way?" I asked in a teasing voice.
"That wouldn't be safe. I loose way to much control when I climax. We'd have a major accident and I'm looking to have more than one good orgasm before I die."
"Good point, but I'm willing to pay for any speeding tickets."
The moment that she closed the door to the apartment, I dropped my suitcase, pulled her close and kissed her deeply. Our tongues intertwining as my hands played over her back and I could feel her breasts against my chest.
My desire for her was so high that I felt I wanted to devour her, to taste her, to force my tongue up inside her. I pulled away from our kiss and slid my body down hers. As my knees hit the floor, I hiked her tight skirt up and pulled her panties down to her ankles. A quick few seconds later my tongue was working its way between the folds of her labia, searching out her tiny clit.
I wanted to make her come there, in the entry-hall, but her desperate cries of, "Oh God John. My legs can't support me like this and I want to come. Please take me to our bed. Then I need you to put your tongue back in me and make me come."
I carried her to our bedroom, her panties falling to the floor along the way. I positioned her so that she was sitting on the edge of the bed. When I grabbed her ankles and raised her legs, she fell back and her skirt rose up as I spread them wide. The view of her beautiful pussy, with its now stimulated and puffy lips made me buried my tongue deep into her in and effort to taste what I had been longing for.
We spent that evening and most of the night, exploring and savoring each others bodies as if it was our first time together.
----------
The next morning we had a meeting. The four of us discussed where we were and where we needed to be.
Melanie spoke, "As far as the investors, we have Nikkie and Winnie on board for the Palm Springs venture and the twins for next years Palm Beach deal.
"I'm beginning to look at it more seriously. There are some great opportunities out there. But for now, we need two more investors for here.
"Sybil Tishman and her Barracuda Lawyer will be in town this weekend and IS will be here Tuesday. Nikkie said she wanted to be here when IS arrived. If we can't lock both of these women up, there is still the Russian Mafia Princess and Velma Price. Her husband controls the gold, literally, they do the majority of North Americas gold refining in Canada, but she controls him.
"So, that said, we should be in good shape and on schedule as I have just made the half-down required payment on the place. It is now official. We have it; minus the final payment that is. I have an agreement with the seller, we can begin work on the place any time we want.
"I turned in my notice to my broker and he tearfully wished me luck. So I'm now free to go at this full time, except for three more closings that I have to attend.
"Now, a quick word about the squeaky, nasally, voiced Sybil Tishman and her Lawyer the infamies Ms. Daphne Daws. Sybil is trying to get out from under the thumb of her controlling lawyer. She asked that no matter what happens at our meeting, we go along and say nothing. She said, if we do as she asks she will insure that we get our investment money.
"Personally I don't like being a pawn in someone else's game and I told her so, but she begged me and said that I'd understand after. I know what you're thinking Carol, that she has lost a few screws, but I'm asking you all to go along on this with me. It's just a feeling I have, but I've got to tell you, I am biased against this Daphne Daws."
I spoke, "Unless Carol has a different take on this, I say what do we have to lose but time."
Carol spoke, "I am not a big fan of the well traveled Tishman girl, but I'll back Melanie and I see more potential for good than bad."
