"What's that supposed to mean?" Cindy asked.
"She has too many hang-ups," I said, "especially where I'm concerned. Sure it's flattering that she wanted me again. Last summer, and even tonight, it was a game. She only paid me the first time because I made a smartass remark about being a pro. I thought that would be the end of it."
She took me to a vacant table in a corner, and we sat down. "Listen, there are a lot of these guys that I detest. I fuck them because it's my job. I try to find something likable about them to make it easier to have them inside me. Some of them are good lovers even if they are jerks. With others I think about the money. That's what I did on vacation. Next summer there won't be any hooker's holiday."
"If I had known, there wouldn't have been one this year."
"You didn't know because I didn't want you to know I'm a whore. I'm still wondering if I should have told you now that I'm dragging you into it. It's too late now, of course, but I'm still afraid you'll leave me."
"If I was going to leave you because you're a whore, I would already be gone. Tell me. What do I have to do?"
"First you have to decide if you really want to be a whore. I'm not going to pretty up the job by calling it gigolo or anything euphemistic. When you have sex for money, you're a whore. Period."
"Do any of the other guys do it?"
"No. They don't like being watched. Even if they can't see the audience, just knowing the people are there keeps them soft."
"Bob and Carl didn't seem to have a problem in that department last weekend."
"I did them in the office where it was nice and private. Carl wants an answer tonight. Do you want to think about it some more?"
I put my hands on the table and looked at them for a minute. "I've always believed a marriage was a partnership of equals. It's not fair you should be the only whore in the house."
Cindy put her arms around my neck and kissed me excitedly. "I hoped you'd feel that way. Okay, we have to get you tested. I already have an appointment for my monthly test Monday afternoon. You can come with me. Believe it or not, several of the women customers have been asking about you. We may never do another show together again after your test results come back."
"Do these women know the rules for the customers?"
"Three of them have already brought in their tests. Others are waiting for you to sign on. Remember, whoever pays, you screw. It doesn't matter if they're young, old, fat, skinny, ugly, beautiful. If you get paid, they get laid, and they cum and cum and cum."
"Yes, Dear."
"You eat their pussies; you lick and/or fuck their butts; however they want it, you do it."
"Yes, Dear."
"If they want to hogtie you, you oink."
