Author's Note: A new development comes in here with Infinity and one of our main characters. I hope you enjoy that -- and I hope you enjoy Katie coming out of her shell even more. She's going to be a featured player.

I barely had time to relish my afternoon tryst with Nikki Powers because my girlfriends dropped a bombshell on me when I got home from the St. Regis that Friday afternoon. Kat and Rita had just come out of the shower, and Jess asked me to sit down at the bar. She poured out a bottle of white wine for the four of us. I knew something was up, but I let it play out.
"There's a new request for the football party on Sunday," Jess said after we had all clinked glasses in toast.
"What's that?" I inquired, curious. I noticed Kat and Rita exchanging a furtive glance.
"Megan," Jess began, referring to the wife of Scottie, the star running back, "wants Kat and Rita there. For her."
"I remember her," I said, recalling the intense lesbian romp I had watched between the former cheerleader and Rita just a few weeks before.
"It's different this time," Kat said.
I glanced at her, and I noticed Rita had a guilty look on her face. For a fleeting moment, I wondered if Scottie was going to be there, too.
"Megan wants Kat and Rita provided for her," Jess added. "By the agency."
"You'll get paid," I said as my brain caught up and processed Jess's words.
Kat smiled at me, and my eyes rested on Rita.
"I mean, it's barely being a whore," Rita said playfully. "We've already hooked up for free. And it's only girl-on-girl."
"I love it," I said. "That's going to be so incredibly fucking hot."
"There's just one thing, daddy," Kat said.
"What's that?" I asked.
"You've got to sit this one out," Jess said.
I was bummed. I wanted to have a ringside seat to the action again.
"But don't worry," Rita said quickly. "Jess has already figured out a special reward for you."
"I have," Jess said. "Katie is going to keep you company. And you can watch the video, of course."
"Katie?" I said. "The players are going to miss her."
"They'll live," Jess said. "She said she's happy to do it."
"Well, it sounds like we have quite the weekend upcoming," I said. I raised my glass again. "To you, Rita. Now I'm living in a house full of whores.."
We laughed and drank. It appeared that Infinity's push into female companionship was off to a fast start.

Sunday came fast. I could tell by Kat's demeanor how excited she was to be taking an appointment again. She was even happier to do it with Rita. Both of them had become increasingly infatuated with lesbian sex, and it excited me to see the girls come together like this. It was also satisfying to see Kat and Rita seemingly content without other men. That had always been an issue with Kat, and her maturation as we approached trying for a baby again gave me an inner peace I hadn't anticipated.
The other half of my brain focused on Katie. She wasn't one to give up a football party. She was popular at them and in her element among the horny athletes. Her words echoed in my memory: "I'll do anything you tell me to." She wanted something from me, and I wasn't entirely sure what it was. Her growing infatuation with me, if that's what it was, didn't go unnoticed. And I increasingly felt the same way about her. Being with Katie felt like playing with fire, and I was game for the risk. I liked the thought of doing something dangerous.
I sat daydreaming on the couch, drinking a glass of Krug multi-vintage Champagne, trying to think of something fun and new to demonstrate my appreciation for Katie. But the girls interrupted my reverie as they came out of the bedroom with the staccato click-clack of heels against the wood floor. My head swung around, and my eyes were greeted with the most stunning display.
Kat flung her hair behind her shoulder and smiled at me, her gold hoop earrings dangling and dancing. She wore a red cocktail dress with a dramatic bow around the waist. Rita stood next to her, a hand purposefully and dramatically on a thrust-out hip. She wore an identical dress in green.
"Merry Christmas," I said.
Kat laughed. "I knew you'd get it!" she squealed. "We're Megan's present!"
I stood up and walked toward them.
"You're exquisite," I said. I meant it. "I'm not going to miss a minute of this."
"You might," Jess said as she put on a finishing touch of lip gloss. "Katie can be pretty distracting."
"Who?" I said jokingly.
Jess smiled at me, her eyes taking on a steel blue color thanks to her navy blue cocktail dress. She wore the heavy diamond sunflower earrings I'd bought her recently to celebrate the imminent purchase of the Vegas Hooker House.
"You look exquisite," I said to all of them, but I kissed Jess on the cheek.
"My stomach is full of butterflies," Rita said.
"You'll be great," I said, stepping in front of her. "You always are. You always have been."
She looked at me gratefully. My whore. My third whore.
"We'll make you so proud, daddy," Kat said, pushing her body close against my side. She was needy and clingy in a way I adored.
"You do every day, Kitty Kat," I said.
"You love your whores," Kat said.
"Every minute," I said. "Now get going. Your ride is here."
I walked them to the door. A stretch limo waited in the driveway. The driver got out as the girls congregated on the front porch. They were a vision. For a moment, I felt lonely. I gave them each kisses on the cheek and escorted them to the car. There was a surprising tension in the air. It wasn't just Rita's inaugural step into Infinity. It was Jess's anxiety over whether this new thrust for her business would work. Kat and Jess stepped into the car. I briefly saw the flash of a coke bullet as Kat pulled it out of her purse. Rita lingered for a moment.
"John," she said.
I grabbed her hand and pulled her to me. Our noses nearly touched. She gazed into my eyes, and I wasn't sure I had ever seen her look more beautiful.
"You're going to be brilliant," I said.
"Is it bad that I'm going to get paid?" she said, vulnerable.
"You'd do it for free," I said, then corrected myself. "You have done this for free. If you've done it for free, what's wrong with getting paid?"
"She's really hot," Rita said.
"I know," I said. "I confess. I'm a little jealous."
"You know there never, ever could be another man," she said.
"I know," I said quickly.
"And this is just about pure physical attraction and excitement," she said.
"Rita," I said, "I know. I probably knew before you did. You should go have fun."
She smiled at me, and I grinned back at her.
"I know I'm going to have fun," I added playfully.
"You're going to watch me, aren't you?" she asked.
"I wouldn't miss it," I said.
She made a move for the car, but I pulled her back by her hand with a quick jerk.
"I love you," I whispered in her ear.
"I love you more than you'll ever know," she said.
Our fingers lingered briefly until she strode to the limo and got in without looking back. I stood on the porch until the taillights disappeared, then went inside. I picked up my glass of Champagne and finished the final sip. Before refilling it, I checked my phone.
"Katie has invited you to follow her Uber ride," read the notification on my lock screen. I clicked on it. She was only ten minutes away. It startled me at how quickly I went from the melancholy of seeing my girlfriends depart to the surge of anticipation that shot through me at Katie's impending arrival. I'd given a lot of thought about how to handle the evening. On the bar sat a silver tray where I had pre-cut two dozen lines of cocaine. Katie was as insatiable for coke as Jess in her prime.
The other thing I knew about Katie, which had been a bit more difficult to figure out, was that she loved luxury. She had grown up in a well-off family but retained a fiercely independent streak that kept her from relying on her parents' willingness to support her. She remained close with her family, especially her younger brother and sister, but took pride in being a nurse and the challenge it presented. It let her indulge in off-hours without feeling guilty.
Armed with that knowledge, I had shipped in fifty grams of Petrossian Special Reserve Ossetra caviar and prepared blinis and the other traditional accompaniments. The glass of Krug I drank earlier came from a magnum of 1996 that I procured for the occasion. I was going to pull out all the stops. If Katie would do anything I told her to, then I was going to cover all the bases to ensure it.
I eagerly watched the Uber updates on my phone. When Katie was two minutes away, I poured two glasses of Champagne and put the caviar spread on the bar next to the cocaine. I waited at the door, looking for the car in the driveway. When I saw it, I grabbed a glass for Katie and stood on the front porch. I saw her electric smile as the car turned around the circle at the top of the drive, and she waved enthusiastically from the back seat. She said something to the driver, slung a purse strap over her shoulder, and opened the door.
She paused for a second after she closed the car door, took a deep breath, smoothed out the fabric of her t-shirt dress, and marched toward me in stack sandals.
"For you," I said, extending the glass of Champagne.
"Always a gentleman, John," Katie said, her eyes sparkling. The t-shirt dress barely fit over her tits.
"Thanks for keeping me company tonight," I said, holding the front door open for her. "I know how much you love the football parties."
