Courtesan

"Tell me more about your evening with Robert."

Kelly grinned at me. "You're a perv."

"There's nothing new about that."

She giggled. "And that's one of the many reasons that I'm so madly in love with you."

I gave Kelly's cunt a passionate kiss.

She laughed. "And that's another one of the reasons."

I looked up at her. In a very firm tone I said, "You were telling me about Robert."

Kelly raised her eyebrows. "My my, is my little slave boy suddenly becoming assertive?"

"It seems to be the only way to keep my attention deficit wife on task."

Kelly laughed again. "Timmy you are priceless."

"Robert?"

"okay, okay; Tonya and I had taken Carl and Robert over to the bar to get each of them a cocktail. As soon as they had their drinks we led them to our private rooms. Do you remember that I told you that at both Eagle Lake and Evergreen there are several very small private bedrooms on the first floor that are assigned to us when we're entertaining?"

"Yes."

"Tonya brought Carl to her private room and I brought Robert to mine. When we're entertaining, our gentleman are often very excited at the beginning of the evening. The anticipation of the sex can be a little distracting for them."

I chuckled. "That's not hard to believe."

Kelly ignored my comment. "Our job is to provide these men with a memorable night. Starting the dinner party by taking them to a private room for a nice slow blow job takes a little bit of the edge off of their excitement and allows them to relax and enjoy the entire experience."

I nodded. "You've mentioned before that when you're with a guy you like to start him out with a blow job."

"It does seem to help most men relax."

I laughed. "That might be the understatement of the year."

Kelly smiled at my joke, then she continued. "As soon as we got into our private room I took Robert's sports coat off of him and hung it in the closet. After he kicked off his shoes I had him lie back on the bed with his head propped up on several pillows. I lowered the top of my dress so that he could play with my breasts, kneeled on the bed next to him, unzipped his pants and took out his erect penis."

She looked down at me. "His cock wasn't huge. It was probably only about five inches, but it was nice and thick. I put it in my mouth and sucked him while he relaxed and sipped his Manhattan."

I looked up at my wife and smiled. "I can easily see how that might put him at ease."

Kelly grinned at me.

I closed my eyes and slowly licked my wife's cunt while I visualized the scene that she had just described. In my mind I formed a clear picture of Robert lying back on the bed with his head propped up by several pillows so that he could sip his cocktail and fondle my wife's large breasts while he watched her suck his cock."

Above me Kelly said, "You're imagining what happened, aren't you Timmy."

I looked up at her and nodded.

She smiled. "There's something very sexy about giving a man a blow job while he still fully dressed."

Her comment made my entire body shiver with excitement. I pushed my tongue deep into the folds of Kelly's moist pussy and licked her with ardent intensity.

Kelly giggled. "Oh my!" She closed her eyes, laid her head back on the couch and took a moment to enjoy the sensations of sweet pleasure that I was giving her. After a few seconds she took a deep breath sat back up and continued. "It only took me a few minutes to make Robert cum."

I pulled my face away from Kelly's cunt. I could feel the moisture of her arousal coating my nose, lips and cheeks. I smiled up at her. "That first blow job never takes very long."

Kelly burst out laughing. "Timmy honey, you have become a very experienced cuckold."

"When you tell me stories like this I try to be an attentive listener." I grinned at my wife. "I'll bet you swallowed all of his semen too."

Kelly looked at me with a mischievous smile and said, "You know I did. I always do that."

I gave her pussy a gentle kiss.

She sighed with contentment and then she said, "Robert quickly finished his Manhattan and then we both stood up. After he put his limp cock away and zipped up his pants we rejoined the party."

"Didn't you pull up the top of your dress?"

Kelly shook her head. "No this was a sex party. I knew that Martin and John would want me to leave my breasts exposed."

"Just like the party at our house last night."

"That's right, and when we got back to the parlor Keisha, Tonya and Mandy were also topless."

"What about Lydia?"

Kelly smiled. "All she was wearing were her garter belt, nylon stockings and high heels."

"Wasn't she wearing panties?"

"No, and Timmy listen to this. Yesterday you saw that Mandy, Tonya, Keisha and I are all shaved."

"Yes."

"Lydia isn't. Her pussy is covered with a thick thatch of auburn pubic hair."

My breath caught.

Kelly grinned at me. "You've never seen a woman with pubic hair, have you Timmy."

I shook my head. "Just in pictures on the Internet."

"It was really very sexy, especially with her pussy framed by her black garter belt."

I took a deep breath.

"I thought that would excite you." Kelly smiled. "But it gets even better."

She leaned forward. "Mandy is a talented artist. She uses washable ink to create wonderful temporary tattoos. In an arc below Lydia's garter belt and just above her pubic hair she'd written in very nice script letters, 'Black Cock Only'"

I smiled.

"That's not all. On Lydia's left breast Mandy had drawn the outline of the continent of Africa and colored it in with three stripes, one red, one black and one green."

"That's a big part of the interracial fantasy."

Kelly nodded. "The tattoos branded her as being a black cock slut."

I laughed. "And you accuse me of spending too much time reading porn on the Internet."

My wife shrugged. "What can I say, it's just professional research. Creating erotic fantasies is my job"

I rolled my eyes.

Kelly giggled. "Hey it worked.'

"What do you mean?"

"Lydia was so turned on that the pubic hair around her pussy lips was sopping wet."

I smiled. "She was having fun."

"Timmy, it looked to me like she was having the time of her life."

"Tell me about the rest of the party."

"We all had another cocktail, and then we sat down to a steak dinner."

"You were still topless?"

"Oh yes and Robert constantly had a hand on one of my breasts."

"He was enjoying himself."

Kelly laughed. "He certainly was. Of course the fact that I was playing with his cock all through dinner might have added to his fun."

"While you were eating?"

Kelly shrugged. "Why not? I'd already had his cock in my mouth. It wasn't like I was worried about germs or anything."

I smiled. "Yes, I guess you're right."

"After dinner Tonya, Mandy, Keisha and I took off our dresses."

"So then you were just as naked as Lydia."

"That's right. The men played craps for about an hour. You remember that I told you that there's a casino craps table and two professional dealers at both Evergreen and Eagle Lake."

I nodded. "Yes, I remember. What did you do while the men were playing craps?"

Kelly grinned at me. "We entertained them."

I shook my head. "I wonder how."

"At first we were just playing with them through their trousers; but when it was Antoine's turn to roll the dice he unzipped his pants, took out his cock and made Lydia get down on her knees and suck him."

I chuckled. "I wonder what her college professor husband would have said if he knew his sweet little wife was sucking a black man's cock while he played dice."

Kelly flashed me a devilish smile and said, "I wonder what my husband would have said if he'd seen me unzip Robert's pants, take out his cock and suck him when it was his turn to roll the dice."

I laughed. "I think it would have excited him so much that he would have cum all over his panties."

Kelly patted my head. "I hope that someday you might be allowed to attend one of these parties. I think it would be fun to have you watch while I entertain a gentleman."

I took a deep breath. "Yes, that would be fun."

For a moment Kelly and I smiled at each other, then she said; "After we were finished playing craps I took Robert back to my private room. I undressed him and then he lay on the bed and stroked his erect cock while I danced for him."

"I'll bet he enjoyed that."

"Oh yes, it got him very excited. As soon as I sensed that he was ready I got on the bed, straddled him and slipped his cock into my pussy."

"He didn't want to be on top?"

Kelly shook her head. "No, it's fairly common for guys to want to have me on top. I face them and that gives them a better chance to play with my breasts while they fuck me. It's also an easier position for a man who's a little older and maybe not in quite as good physical condition."

I nodded. "That makes sense. How many times did he fuck you?"

"Just once. I did coax another erection out of him, but he wanted to finish the night with a second blow job." My wife smiled. "For a lot of guys a blow job is a very special treat."

I laughed. "Especially one of yours."

Kelly grinned at me. "Would you like a special treat right now?"

I nodded my head enthusiastically.

She pulled me up on the couch so that I was sitting next to her and then she repositioned herself so that she was kneeling next to me. As Kelly leaned over and started kissing and licking the head of my erection I chuckled and said, "I guess you're done being nasty."

She looked up at me and giggled. "I think that might be a safe assumption, but don't worry pussyboy. I guarantee you that the situation is just temporary. Now be quiet. There's nothing in this world that I enjoy more than sucking your cute little pecker. I don't want to be distracted by any more of your silly jokes."

I laughed.

Kelly started licking and kissing me again. After a moment she took all of my tiny cock into her mouth and began sucking me. I was already aroused by Kelly's story, so it wasn't long before I felt the familiar tingling building in my loins. When I ejaculated my wife kept me in her mouth and continued sucking me. That really is an incredible feeling.

Once I was finished Kelly swallowed my cum and then she sat up and put her arms around my neck. As she hugged me she asked, "Did you enjoy that Babydoll?"

I grinned at her. "It was absolutely fabulous. Can I return the favor?"

Kelly giggled. "I thought you'd never ask."

I slipped off the couch and returned to my position between my wife's legs. As I began licking her Kelly took a deep breath and said, "Timmy honey, will you do that new trick for me. It really is wonderful."

She slid forward and raised herself up giving me access to her beautiful rear. I pushed my tongue into her asshole and licked her for a moment. Once she was nice and wet I stopped licking her, put my middle finger into my mouth and got it wet. Kelly's breath caught as she felt me slip my finger into her tiny hole. I pushed it all the way in to my second knuckle and then I waited for a moment. As soon as I sensed that she was comfortable with its presence I started fucking her and returned to licking her pussy.

Kelly giggled with delight. "Yes Timmy, that's it. That feels so nice. Now suck on my clit. Make me cum!"

I quickly found my wife's engorged clitoris and sucked it into my mouth. At the same time I continued fucking her ass with my finger.

My wife started gyrating her hips and grinding her now sopping cunt into my face while I sucked and licked her clit and simultaneously worked my finger in and out of her asshole.

"Yes Timmy, that's what I want. That's exactly what I want! Do it! Fuck my ass with your finger while you suck my on big clitty!"

Kelly wrapped her legs around my head and held me locked to her with a vise like grip. I licked and sucked her cunt. She grabbed my hair with her fingers. I could feel the tension building in her loins. Suddenly she arched her back and then she screamed. I kept sucking her clit and fucking her ass while she cried with pleasure as her orgasm ravaged her body.

After a moment the torrent of pleasure began to subside. I felt my wife start to relax. I stopped sucking her clit, but I kept my lips pressed against her sex as I gently slipped my finger out of her rear.

Kelly released her leg hold on my head and placed her feet back on the floor. Then she leaned forward and lovingly pulled me up onto the couch so that I was sitting next to her.

I smiled at her, my face glistening with the moisture of her arousal. She smiled back at me and softly kissed my forehead. "Thank you Timmy, that was wonderful."

After that we collapsed into each others arms. For several minutes we cuddled together enjoying the touch of our naked bodies. Finally Kelly leaned over, pressed her lips against mine and kissed me. I kissed her back. It was a passionate kiss, but a different kind of passion. Our desire and lust had been temporarily sated. This was a long slow kiss, but it was soft and gentle and filled with love and tenderness.

After we kissed we quietly held each other for a few more minutes and then Kelly stood up, grasped my hand and pulled me to my feet. She softly kissed my cheek and said, "Come on Timmy, let's go take a nap."

I smiled at my wife. "At this moment I can't think of anything that would make me happier."

By the time we woke up it was nearly six o'clock. We took a quick shower together. After we were dressed I called and ordered a pizza while Kelly combed her hair and put on a little makeup.

On the way to get the pizza we stopped at a video store and rented a movie. It was a romantic comedy. Neither of us was in the mood for anything serious.

We spent the evening cuddled together on our den couch watching the movie while we ate pizza and drank diet soda.

After the movie was over we watched the ten o'clock news and then Kelly led me back to the bedroom. As she unbuttoned my shirt she nuzzled my ear and said, "Timmy I want you to fuck me before we go to sleep tonight. I spent two consecutive nights with Chris and last night Robert's cock wasn't long, but it was thick, so I'll be a little stretched out. I don't care. This was a wonderful evening and I want to end it by making love with you."

I didn't say anything. I didn't need to. I just started unbuttoning Kelly's blouse. As soon as we were both naked we climbed into bed. I went down on Kelly and brought her to a quick orgasm with my tongue. After she regained her composure she sat up and kissed me. As we kissed she rolled me onto my back, straddled my hips and slipped my tiny erection into her very wet cunt.

She place my hands on her naked breasts and smiled at me. "Timmy, this is how Robert fucked me last night. I wanted you to have the same pleasure tonight."

I grinned at my wife and played with her large breasts while she rocked back and forth on my rigid cock. She was a little stretched out from her previous evenings with Chris and Robert, but I didn't care. Her pussy felt warm and wonderful. Just being inside her was exciting enough for me.

Kelly had already given me a blowjob earlier that day, so I was able to last for several minutes. When she sensed that I was about to cum she stopped rocking, clenched my penis as tightly as she could with her pussy and held me firmly inside her while I ejaculated my little trickle of semen into her womb.

As soon as I was finished Kelly leaned forward so that she could kiss me. My tiny softening penis immediately slipped out of her very wet cunt.

She sat up and said, "Oops."

I smiled up at my wife. "I'll bet most men are big enough to stay inside you when you do that."

Kelly giggled. "Yes they are." Suddenly her face filled with alarm. "Babydoll, I'm sorry. I shouldn't have said that. It just slipped out. I wasn't trying to make you feel bad." She closed her eyes and shook her head. "I should have been more careful when I moved."

I gently patted her arm. "There's isn't any reason for you to be sorry. You didn't make me feel bad."

I laughed. "Hell, we both know I have a tiny penis. There isn't any reason to try to pretend otherwise. We also both know that most of the men you play with are bigger than me. It is going to be harder for you to keep me inside you after were done making love."

I shrugged. "I don't think we should worry about it at all. Besides, I love it when you lean forward and press your gorgeous breasts into my chest."

Kelly's face broke into a huge smile. She leaned forward and kissed me again, but this time as she kissed me she deliberately rubbed her chest against mine."

As soon as she was finished kissing me I looked up at Kelly with an impish grin and wiggled my eyebrows. "Now that's exactly what I was talking about."

Kelly giggled, kissed me one more time and said; "Timmy I love you so much." Then she rolled off of me.

As she lay down next to me I put my arm around her. She snuggled up to my side and laid her head on my shoulder. For a long time we cuddled together in silence.

I was just starting to fall asleep when I heard Kelly quietly say, "Timmy?"

"Yes."

"Are you falling in love with Mandy?"

Her question surprised me. I wasn't quite sure how I should answer it. I liked Mandy. I liked Tonya and Keisha too. I could even imagine falling in love all three of them, but I knew that it would never be the same love that I felt for Kelly. I thought for a moment and then I asked, "Are you in love with Chris?"

"That's not..." Kelly stopped. She was silent for several seconds and then she said, "No that is a fair question."

She was silent again. Almost a minute passed. Finally she said, "Yes, in a way I do love Chris. It's not the same love that I feel for you and I would never dream of leaving you for Chris. Timmy you add so much to my life and we have so much in common. I not only love you; you're also my best friend."

Kelly paused to think. After a moment she continued. "Please don't be offended by this. Tonya mentioned it yesterday. When I was growing up everyone kept telling me how beautiful I was. In high school I only dated the hottest guys. They were always tall, ruggedly handsome, muscular athletes. I always imagined that I would end up married to one of those men."

"But instead you ended up with me.'

"Yes, and it was the most wonderful thing that could have ever happened to me. Timmy you make me so happy. You make my life complete."

"But I'm not a tall, ruggedly handsome, muscular athlete."

"No you're not."

Suddenly I understood. I looked at Kelly. "But Chris is.”

She slowly nodded. "Yes he is."

"He's the man you should have married."

Kelly vigorously shook her head. "No, I married the right man and if I ever have to choose between you and Chris I will definitely choose you. I won't have to think twice about it."

She was quiet for a moment and then she said, "Timmy, I'm a blond with a pretty face and big tits. Guys have always treated me differently. Most men can't even talk to me without staring at my chest."

She laughed. "Chris still can't do it."

I grinned at her. "I occasionally take a peek at it too."

Kelly nodded. "I know you do. If you didn't I'd be worried about you; but with you it's different. When I talk to most men I feel like they're talking to my tits. When you and I talk I actually feel like you're talking to me. I noticed it the very first day we met. You remember don't you? It was outside our English class. You stopped to tell me how much you liked my poem."

"Yes, of course I remember. I was so nervous that I almost had a heart attack."

Kelly giggled. "Yes, it took several weeks before you stopped being afraid of me and actually started to believe that I might really like you."

"Well you were way out of my league."

"Timmy honey, you didn't have a league."

We both laughed.

After a moment Kelly said, "At first you may have been afraid of me, but you've always been able to see beyond my blond hair, big tits and pretty face. You listen to me Timmy. You pay attention to the things I say and do. When I'm right you agree with me and when I'm wrong you tell me I'm full of shit. Most men are so busy looking at my tits that they never hear anything I say."

"Chris listens to you."

"Yes, he does; but my boobs are still always on his mind. Timmy, I like Chris. He's a very good man, but he's not even close to being the man you are."

I stared at her in amazement.

Kelly laughed. "You find that hard to believe, don't you."

I nodded.

"Well believe it. Timmy look at how much Keisha, Mandy and Tonya already like you. Consider how quickly you became close friends with Elvira and Kirby. Think about how much you mean to Ellen at the newspaper. Timmy it's very hard not to like you. You're the nicest, most interesting, most trustworthy and reliable man I've ever known. During the first few weeks after we met my friends kept asking me why I was hanging around with you. They couldn't understand what I saw in you. Sometimes I wondered too. You were the complete opposite of the guys I always dated."

Kelly shook her head. "But I quickly realized that I was thinking about you all the time. When I wrote a new poem I couldn't wait to read it to you. Whenever I read a good book I wanted you to read it too." She laughed. "When a guy took me to a movie that I liked, I couldn't wait to get back to my dorm room so that I could tell you about it."

She sighed. "Eventually I'm sure that Chris and I will get bored with each other. He's a nice man. He's certainly bright and he can be very interesting, but our attraction to each other is mostly physical. Timmy I'll never get bored with you. You're the dearest, most fascinating man that I've ever met. In addition to being madly in love with you, you're also my best friend. Timmy honey, I want to spend the rest of my life with you. I want to grow old with you."

Kelly was quiet. After a moment she said, "I suppose that's why I asked you about Mandy. Considering the fact that I have a boyfriend, I guess the question was a little hypocritical. She looked at me. "But Timmy, I love you so much. I would be devastated if I ever lost you."

I leaned over and gently kissed Kelly's forehead. "Don't worry, I expect that I will eventually become very close to all three of your friends. I like Tonya, Keisha and Mandy. They're wonderful women and I enjoy their company, but Kel, you're special. Ever since we first met it seems like we've always been able to understand each other. You were able to see that I was more than a scrawny little wimp and I was able see that you were more than a blond with a pretty face and big tits. That's why the last year was so frustrating for me. For the first time I couldn't understand what was happening with you. I was so relieved when I finally learned the truth."

"Timmy, I'm so sor..."

I touched my finger to Kelly's lips and whispered, "It's okay, we're all done with that. It's over, now we just have to love each other."

"I can do that Timmy. I can do that so easily."

Kelly and I held each other silently. I was just about to fall asleep again when she said, "Timmy, I'm afraid that we won't ever be able to find a suitable house."

I smiled and said, "I've been worrying about that too. This morning I had an idea."

"What was it?"

"I think we should look for a house that has the common rooms we need. We'll want a nice kitchen, a large dining room, a parlor and maybe a nice den or a family room."

"Yes, but what about the bedrooms? We all want big bedrooms with private baths."

"We have to find a house with big lot so that we can build an addition."

Kelly thought for a moment and then she said, "Timmy that's a wonderful idea. We can find a nice old house and add all the bedrooms we need on to it. That way we can all have our rooms exactly the way we want them."

I nodded. "Yes, they could even be small apartments."

"Will we have enough money to do that?"

"An architect can give us a rough idea of what it will probably cost. Martin has offered us a very generous budget. I'm guessing that we can do it."

Kelly kissed me. "Timmy you're the smartest man I know."

"I also might be the sleepiest."

She giggled. "I think that's a hint."

I yawned. "Yes it is."

Kelly laid her arm across my chest and once again snuggled up to my shoulder. "Good night Timmy."

"Good night Kel."

"I love you."

"I love you too."

I closed my eyes. I was again just about to fall asleep when Kelly said, "Timmy."

I opened my eyes. "Yes."

"I'm sorry to keep pestering you, but I forgot to tell you something."

"That's okay, what is it?"

"I have to work tomorrow night. I have to meet a guy at the Calvert Hotel."

I thought back to the night almost two weeks ago when I followed Kelly to the Calvert. I smiled. "Is Roger Baldwin back in town?" That was the name the firm used to lease Kelly's room at the Calvert and the men she met there were always referred to as Roger Baldwin or Mr. Baldwin.

She giggled. "Yes he is, and Melody has to meet him in room 1217." Melody was of course the name my wife generally used when she was working.

"Does Melody promise to tell me all about her date when she gets home?"

"Only if you're a very good boy while I'm gone."

"Maybe I could write a story about Roger and Melody."

"If you do I'll suck your cock while you read it to me."

"And then I'll lick your pussy while you tell me what really happened."

Kelly kissed my chest. "I'm already getting excited."

I laughed. “So am I”

Kelly giggled. "Good night Timmy."

"Good night Kel."

After that we really did go to sleep.

Very nice GH. Although it does seem to be getting a bit lonely here with just us two ! I'm sure I'm not the only one following this. Maybe its the holiday season. Don't get discouraged, these things go in phases. Like electricity.

Thank you for your comments.

Don't worry about me, right now I am even more excited about writing this story than I was when I first envisioned it and wrote the outline. I plan to keep working at it until it is finished.

Thanks for your support.

GH

The next morning I arrived at the Quickstop at 6:00 AM. There were already several cars in the parking lot. This didn't surprise me. It was Monday morning, the get an early start on the work week people were already out and about.

What did surprise me was that one of the cars was a silver gray Mercedes Benz sedan identical to the one Tonya Lewis was driving on Saturday. I smiled as I parked my car. Apparently the dinner date must have gone well.

I got an even bigger surprise when I walked into the store. Tonya was behind the counter trying to help a heavy set man wearing a dark blue trucker's jacket. Another customer, a rather impatient looking middle aged woman, was waiting behind him holding a cup of coffee and a chocolate doughnut. Kirby was nowhere in sight.

When Tonya heard the door open she looked up. As soon as she saw it was me she sighed in relief and said, "Timmy, thank goodness you're here. This man wants to buy two lottery tickets and I don't know how to work the machine."

As I joined her behind the counter I asked, "Do you know how to work the register?"

"Yes, Kirby showed me before he went upstairs to change his clothes. I didn't want him to wear his dress pants while he was working in the store."

I smiled at Tonya's remark, but I didn't have time to comment. We had customers waiting. The Quickstop might have been going out of business, but I was still going to try to make it a good store.

I nodded towards the woman with the coffee and the chocolate doughnut. "Why don't you take care of this lady while I get this gentleman his lottery tickets."

Tonya grinned at me. "Thank you Timmy."

I quickly punched up two lottery tickets. The man was also buying a pack of cigarettes and a cup of coffee. By the time I was done giving him his change Tonya had finished with the woman.

After they'd both left the store Tonya turned to me. There was a huge grin on her face. "Timmy that was really fun. I haven't had a normal job since I was seventeen. I'd like to spend all my free time here. Do you think Kirby might let me do that?"

"My guess is that right now you probably have a better feel for that than I would. How did your dinner date go last night?"

"Timmy it was wonderful. It's so easy to talk to Kirby and he's such a good listener. I feel like he really cares about what I think."

I thought about my conversation with Kelly before we went to sleep and smiled. It was apparent that listening to each other was an important part of a relationship.

"He knows everything Timmy. I told him about starting out as a stripper and then becoming an escort. I explained exactly what I do for JTandR and made it clear that I want to keep on working as a hostess for at least five more years."

"So you told him that you plan to continue having sex with other men?"

"Yes."

"How did he take that?"

"Pretty good I think, I mean he didn't blow his top or get up and walk out or anything like that."

"I gather he spent the night at your apartment."

"Yes he did.'

"Did you have sex with him?"

"Yes Timmy. He's very shy. I had to seduce him."

"That doesn't surprise me at all."

Tonya grinned at me. "Timmy it was wonderful. Kirby's not particularly big, and he's not a very skilled or experienced lover, but he is so sweet and gentle. I am going to have so much fun teaching him about sex."

"Tonya you look really happy right now."

"Timmy I haven't been this happy in years."

"Did he tell you about the store?"

"Yes, we talked for hours. I think we told each other everything we could about ourselves."

Tonya closed her eyes. After a moment she sighed and said, "He did tell me about the store. It's really bothering him."

She looked at me. "And he won't let me help him! Timmy I explained to him that I have money, lots of money. I could easily pay all of his bills and never even notice it."

"What did he say to that?" I was fairly certain that I already knew the answer.

Tonya shook her head in frustration. "He is a stubborn man!"

I nodded. "Yes, I do believe you're right about that."

"He told me that he could never begin a relationship with a woman by taking money from her." She smiled at me. "The funny thing is that while it may frustrate me that he won't let me help him, I have to admit that I also respect him for that. I thought about it while I was falling asleep last night. If the situation was reversed I don't think I could take money from him either."

"Timmy what am I going to do! Losing the store and being in debt is tearing him apart. I have to find a way to help him, but he won't let me give him money."

I patted Tonya's wrist. "I know, I want to help him too and I don't know how to do it either. Maybe we just have to stand by him and give him our friendship while he works his way though this crisis."

"I want to hear every detail about last night's date."

Tonya and I both turned. Elvira had just stepped into the store. As she walked over to the storage closet to hang up her coat she said, "And the first thing I want to know is did he get into your panties?"

Tonya laughed. "Ellie, he not only got into my panties, he took them off of me and brought them home as a souvenir."

Elvira grinned at Tonya. "Good, you can't possibly imagine how happy that makes me feel."

Tonya smiled at her. "It makes me pretty happy too."

"I'm getting coffee. Does anyone else need a cup?"

"Ellie I could sure use one." It was Kirby. He had just come down the stairway that led to his apartment above the store.

Elvira smiled when she saw him. "Hi Cookie, I hear you got lucky last night." She turned to Tonya. "How many times did the big boy get it up?"

Kirby blushed.

Tonya shook her head. "Elvira, stop! You're embarrassing him."

Elvira handed a cup of coffee to Kirby, then she turned to Tonya and smiled. "Don't worry, Cookie knows how much I love him and Timmy is our best friend. Neither of us would care if Kirby couldn't get it up at all."

Tonya laughed. "Well I would care and for the record he got it up three wonderful times."

"Three times! Elvira playfully poked Kirby in his ribs. "Maybe I've been missing out on some red hot fun."

Kirby's face had turned a deep shade of crimson. He was obviously mortified by this discussion of his sexual prowess. I decided to be a good friend and try to change the subject.

"Tonya would you like a cup of coffee?"

She smiled at me. "Yes Timmy, I would love one."

As I moved around the counter Kirby stepped in front of me. He quickly picked up the coffee pot and started pouring a cup. "I'll get it Tonya. Do you want cream or sugar?"

"No black is just fine."

I smiled. Kirby was acting like a lovesick teenager. He was obviously smitten with Tonya . On that beautiful morning he was the only one who was going to pour coffee for this gorgeous woman. That was fine with me, in fact there was nothing that morning that could have made me happier.

Elvira also sensed Kirby's mood. She followed him over to the counter. As he handed the cup of coffee to Tonya she said, "It looks like my big friend had a wonderful time with you last night."

Tonya took a sip of the hot coffee and then she looked at Elvira and smiled. "I can't speak for Kirby, but I know I had a wonderful time with him." Then she turned to Kirby. "Thank you for the coffee Cookie."

Kirby didn't say anything, he just beamed at her.

Realizing that no one was in the least bit interested in getting a cup of coffee for me, I walked over to the coffee pot and poured one for myself.

As I was doing that Elvira said, "Tonya, yesterday I promised Cookie that today I was going to start giving him a regular morning blow job."

Kirby looked at Elvira in alarm. "Ellie, maybe this isn't such a good day to start that, in fact maybe we should rethink the entire idea."

Tonya grinned at Elvira. She was obviously enjoying Kirby's discomfort. "I don't know why. I think it's an absolutely marvelous idea."

Elvira flashed a mischievous smile at Tonya. "I was kind of hoping you might like to help."

Tonya giggled. "I was hoping you might invite me to help."

Kirby's jaw dropped and his face turned a pale shade of gray. "But..."

Elvira hooked her arm under Kirby's arm and started pulling him towards the stairs leading to his apartment. "No buts Cookie, this is going to be good for both your mental and your physical health. Trust us, Tonnie and I know what's best for you."

Tonya walked out from behind the counter and took Kirby's other arm. "She's right you know, this is exactly what you need."

Kirby looked at Tonya like a fawn looks at its mother. "Are you sure this will be all right with you?"

"Yes sweetheart, it's going to be just fine."

Tonya was quiet for a moment. She was obviously thinking. Finally she sighed. "Cookie honey, if were going to be together, it's important that you understand something. Tonight I'm going to be entertaining a middle aged business man at the Calvert Hotel. I've entertained him before, so I'm reasonably certain about what's going to happen. He'll most likely want me to start by giving him a long slow blow job. After we rest for a little while he'll fuck me one time and then if he still has enough energy left I'll finish the evening by giving him another blow job."

Kirby laughed. "He must really like blow jobs."

Tonya smiled at him. "Last night I noticed that you didn't mind them too much either."

Kirby grinned at her.

Tonya patted his arm. "Baby I'm glad that you can laugh about this. I think that's a good sign. Still, I need to be absolutely certain that you understand how I feel about sex."

"All right." Kirby's expression became much more serious. He looked at Tonya attentively.

"Honey for me sex is a purely physical act. In my mind it's not much different than playing tennis or going bowling. It's just something we do for fun. I have to feel that way, otherwise I could never work in my profession. When I Give another man a blow job or let him fuck me it has nothing to do with my feelings for him and even more, it has nothing to do with my feelings for you."

She stopped and looked at Kirby. She was checking to see how he was reacting to what she'd just said.

Kirby nodded. "I think I understand. I don't think I would have three weeks ago, but since then Timmy has told me about his relationship with Kelly. I gather that she has a similar philosophy."

He glanced at me.

I smiled. "Yes she does."

Tonya laughed. "Timmy's wife loves sex even more than I do and until I met her I didn't think that was possible."

For a moment we all chuckled, then Kirby continued. "Ellie has also told me about how she played around with other men the entire time she was married to Max and I know how much she loved him."

Elvira looked at Kirby. "I have the same philosophy as Kelly and Tonnie. Sex is just a way for two people to have fun together. Don't get me wrong, I do understand that it can be more. It can also be a wonderful expression of love."

She smiled. "When my Max used to eat my pussy I could feel the love flowing from him to me. It was wonderful and it meant so much to me. I'll grant that sex is enriched by love or even friendship, but it can still be fun as a purely physical act."

She shrugged. "Actually even watching television and eating dinner are better if you do it with a close friend or someone you love. Everything is better if you do it with a close friend or someone you love. Cuddling on the couch while you watch a good movie is a wonderful expression of love. Being in love makes everything better."

She winked at us. "But that doesn't mean that you shouldn't occasionally enjoy a good movie with a hot guy you just met in a bar."

Tonya giggled. "Ellie I definitely like the way you think." She turned to Kirby. "Let's get back to your original question. Will it be all right with me if Ellie gives you a blow job every morning when she gets to work."

Kirby nodded.

"Your question implies that you and I now have a relationship."

An expression of horror swept across Kirby's face. He started to nervously stammer; "I'm sorry Tonya, I didn't mean to presume..."

She put her arm around his waist and hugged him. "Relax baby, we've only had one date and we have to move slowly, but I feel like you're a very special man. I want to try to build a serious relationship with you. I think your question is a good one. Actually, the fact that you're concerned about my feelings makes you even more attractive to me.

Tonya shrugged. "Considering what I'm going to be doing tonight it would be rather hypocritical if I did object to your getting regular blow jobs from Ellie or for that matter any other woman."

She smiled at him. "Sex with other women won't bother me at all. I think you now understand my feelings about that very well. What I do hope is that you won't cuddle on the couch and watch television with anyone but Ellie or me."

Kirby looked at Tonya with a puzzled expression.

Tonya grinned at him. "Yes Cookie, I understand how much you love her. You don't need to hide it from me." She laughed. 'I don't think you're capable of hiding it from me. Kirby honey, I'm perfectly willing to share you with Ellie for the rest of our lives."

Kirby smiled at Tonya and then he looked at Elvira.

She grinned at him and said; "I like this plan, but get this straight Cookie. The morning blow job is the only sex your going to get from me. The rest of your boinking is going to have to be with Tonnie. Wolfie is still going to be my number one stud." She winked at Kirby. "But don't worry, Wolfie is just my boy toy. Our relationship is purely physical. Hell I don't even like to watch television with him. He talks during the shows."

Tonya grabbed Kirby's arm. "Come on Cookie, enough talk. It's time for us to go upstairs for some very hot sex."

She looked at Elvira. "Ellie I taught him how to eat pussy last night. He's still a rookie, but he definitely has potential. I think we should take turns. You can start sucking his cock while I sit on his face and then we can switch."

Elvira poked Kirby in his side. "Would you like that Cookie? Would you enjoy having Tonnie sit on your face while I suck your sweet cock?"

Kirby's face turned a deep shade of crimson. All he could do was nervously nod.

Tonya laughed. "I'll take that as a big yes." She pulled on Kirby's arm. "Come on big boy, it's play time for the three of us."

As they started walking towards the stairs Tonya said, "Ellie I was just thinking that we really should ask Timmy to give our sweetie some pointers about how to eat pussy. He's the expert. He's even better than Mandy and I always thought Mandy was the best."

Elvira suddenly stopped and turned back to me. "I almost forgot. Timmy did you bring your note."

Tonya looked at Elvira with a puzzled expression. "A note? Why would Timmy have to bring a note?"

"Yesterday I told him that if he brought me a note from Kelly telling me it was all right with her, I'd give him a regular morning blow job too."

Tonya started to giggle. It was obvious that it was taking every ounce of self control that she could muster to keep from laughing.

I nervously stared at the floor. I had been hoping that this issue wouldn't come up.

Suddenly Tonya's expression shifted to one of mock seriousness. "Well dicklet, did you bring your note?"

I looked up. Everyone was staring at me. My submissive masochistic inclinations surfaced. I timidly answered, "No Ms. Lewis, I didn't."

Elvira smiled at Tonya. 'Oh my, I've never seen this side of him before. He really can be very submissive, can't he. He reminds me so much of my Max."

Tonya nodded and then she stared at me. "Why didn't you bring your note dicklet?"

"I forgot."

"You forgot? Does that mean you don't care about getting a blow job from Ms. Higgins and me?"

"No Ms. Lewis, it doesn't mean that at all."

"Well you certainly didn't care enough to remember to get your note."

"I was a little worried about asking Ms. Mason for it."

That was the truth. I was so excited about seeing Kelly yesterday that I forgot about the note until just before we were going to sleep and that was just after Kelly had asked me if I was falling in love with Mandy. I didn't think it was the most opportune time to be asking for a note that would be giving me permission to get blow jobs from another woman."

Tonya looked at me with a serious expression. It was clear that she was no longer playing. "Why would you be worried about that Timmy? You know that Kelly would never object to your playing with either Elvira or me."

I shrugged. "I know, we were both tired last night and Kelly is still feeling both a little blue and a little bit guilty about the events of the past year. She continues to occasionally need some reassurance from me that I still love her."

Tonya walked over, put her arms around my shoulders and hugged me. "Timmy is everything all right."

"Yes Tonnie, everything is very good, it's just going to take both of us a little time to get over the all the things that happened during the last year."

"I wish I would have known about all of it, I could have intervened a long time ago and saved both of you a lot of pain and agony."

"It's okay, we figured it out before it was too late."

"I'm sorry I teased you."

"Don't be, I was having fun."

"I'm going to see Kelly in the office this evening before we go to The Calvert. I'll tell her about the note for Ellie. It'll make her day."

I smiled. "Yes, I expect it will."

Tonya turned to Ellie. "I think that it's time for us to take our sweetie upstairs."

Elvira grabbed Kirby's hand. "Come on Cookie, it's play time and I'm ready to party." She giggled. "Even at my age, my pussy still gets wet."

As Ellie pulled him towards the stairway Kirby looked back at me. "Are you gonna be okay buddy?"

I nodded. "Yes Kirby, I am going to be fine. You should relax and have a good time. Don't worry about anything, I've got the store covered."

He smiled. "Thanks buddy."

As they were about to step into the stairway I suddenly remembered my commitment to Ellen. I had to cover the Crier office so that she could bring her teenaged son to school and get him reinstated after his suspension for fighting.

I called to them. "Hey just a minute."

All three of them stopped and looked at me.

"I promised Ellen that I would be at The Crier office by 10:30 this morning. You have to be back down here by 10:00."

We all glanced at the clock by the beer cooler. It was just after 8:00.

Tonya smiled. "Don't worry Timmy. We'll be back by 9:30. After the workout I gave my stud last night we might kill him if we try to play for more than an hour and a half."

As they disappeared up the stairs I heard Ellie say, "Cookie we're going to have to start working on your conditioning. You now not only have Tonnie and I to deal with, I think Mandy, Kelly and Keisha are also going to want an occasional piece of you."

Kirby didn't respond, but I heard Tonya say; "Don't worry sweetheart, we'll work you up to it gradually."

I smiled. This couldn't be happening to a nicer man.

wonderful........you leave nothing out.....you touch on all the emotions of everyone. writing a good story is not about the sex it is the build up to it and setting the background........you are a master story teller.....

Sallyann

Thank you, those are very kind words. I appreciate them. I'm glad you're enjoying the story. Thanks again for telling me.

GH

It was almost 9:30 when I heard them coming back down the stairs. Kirby walked into the store first. There was an enormous grin on his face.

I smiled when I saw him. "Did you have a good time buddy?"

Kirby shook his head. "You know Timmy, I have to say that if it wasn't for the fact that I'm losing my store, my life would be nearly perfect right now."

I laughed. "Unfortunately that's a pretty big if"

"You won't get an argument out of me about that." Kirby smiled. "But it sure does feel like things are starting to look up. I really can't explain it Timmy, but I have this feeling that everything is going to work out okay."

Behind him Tonya said, "That's because he has good friends and if he'd actually give them an opportunity to let them help him, I think there might be an even better chance that everything will work out all right."

Kirby turned. There was an expression of frustration on his face. "Tonya we went over this last night. There isn't any way I can keep myself respect if I take money from you. I got myself into this jam and I'll get myself out."

Elvira rolled her eyes. "Spoken like a complete moron."

Tonya laughed. "Yes, but he's our moron and he's the most loveable moron I've ever met."

She walked over, put her arms around Kirby's shoulders and hugged him. "Kirby honey I understand why you won't let me give you money. Even though I respect you for making that decision, it still frustrates me. I want so badly to be able to help you and I can't."

Elvira walked over and hugged Kirby from the other side. "I wish you would let us help you financially. Both Tonnie and I have money.” She sighed. “But if we can't, we'll still be here every day to help you with the store.” She stared at him. “And let's be very clear about this big boy. You are not going to pay us! If you can refuse to take our money, we can refuse to take yours."

Tonya nodded. "I plan to be here every morning this store is open." She giggled. "I love working here."

I shrugged. "I'll be here too. Kelly likes to sleep late and this is pretty good early morning entertainment."

Kirby quietly said; "Thank you, you're good friends. I don't know how much longer I'll actually be able to keep this store open, but while it is open I think we're going to have some very enjoyable mornings."

Tonya, Elvira and I all nodded in agreement.

Kirby grinned at us. "After the store finally does close, we're going to have to find some place else to meet."

Elvira looked at all of us. "You can all come to my house. I'll make the coffee, but someone else has to bring the doughnuts."

Tonya shook her head. "If I start having a doughnut every morning I'll weigh three hundred pounds by Christmas. In my business it's very important for a girl to keep her figure."

She gave Kirby a playful squeeze. "My big baby here also needs to start watching his weight. Now that I've found him I don't want to lose him to a heart attack or a stroke."

I glanced at Kirby. There was a huge smile on his face.

We were all quiet for a moment. It wasn't an awkward silence. All four of us were simply enjoying the pleasant sensation of well being that comes when you realize that you've just forged or strengthened a bond of friendship with other people.

Tonya finally broke the silence. "Timmy did you and Kelly have a chance to talk about the house yesterday? Mandy, Kelly, Keisha, Antoine and I all talked about it Saturday night after the party at Eagle Lake ended." She shook her head. "Timmy, I love the idea, but I'm afraid it may not work. A tiny bedroom just won't be enough personal space for any of us."

I smiled at her. "I know, but I had another idea. When I told her last night, Kelly thought it was pretty good."

"What is it?"

"Maybe we could find a smaller house, one with all the communal living space that we want and enough available land so that we could build an addition."

Tonya thought for a moment and then her face lit up. "Timmy, that's a fabulous idea. We could each have our own little apartment."

I nodded. "Yes, it could almost be a dormitory."

"A very luxurious dormitory." Tonya was grinning.

"I'm a little worried that it might be too expensive."

"Timmy money is not an issue. I have lots of money, so does Mandy. I'm also certain that Martin would be very willing to increase our budget. He really wants this to happen."

She giggled. "I can't wait to tell Keisha, Mandy and Antoine. Timmy we have to call Barry and tell him about your idea. I can't wait to start looking at more houses. I'll also tell Martin about the new plan this afternoon. JTandR has a whole property development section. I'm sure he can help us find an architect."

Tonya stopped. She'd suddenly realized that Kirby and Elvira weren't part of the house plans. There was an awkward moment of silence and then she timidly asked, "Has Timmy told you about our plans to buy a house?"

Elvira smiled. "Yes he has, in fact all of you were talking about it when you were here Saturday morning. It sounds like a wonderful idea."

"That's right." Tonya thought for a moment and then she said, "Ellie, everyone likes you. I could talk to Kelly, Keisha, Mandy and Antoine about the idea of you moving in with us."

Elvira put up her hand. "No Tonya, it's all right. I appreciate the consideration, but I'm not yet ready to move out of the house I shared with Max." She smiled. "But I certainly would enjoy being invited to some of your parties. I could bring Wolfie, that way I'd have an old guy as a playmate."

Tonya grinned. "Ellie, from now on you're going to be invited to every party I'm involved in planning."

She turned to Kirby. He was nervously staring at the floor. Very gently she said, "Cookie, maybe sometime in the future, after we get to know each other a little better, you and I might end up sharing one of the apartments at this house."

"I think in the meantime Cookie should move into my house and live with me." Elvira looked at Kirby. "Sweetie, I know you like Tonnie and I can tell that she likes you, but you only met each other two days ago. It's important that you take a little time to get to know each other."

Kirby slowly nodded his head. "As usual Ellie, you're right." He smiled at Tonya. "I think I should move in with Ellie, at least for a while, but I certainly would enjoy being able to spend some of your free evenings with you."

Tonya leaned over an kissed his cheek. "You can have every one of them. In fact, I'm free tomorrow night and I was wondering if you might like to go to a movie."

Kirby looked at her and nervously asked, "You mean like a date?"

Tonya and Elvira both started laughing. Tonya said; "Yes silly, that's exactly what I mean."

"I umm, I haven't been out on many dates."

"Kirby honey, I haven't either. I've been stripping and working as an escort since I was eighteen. That life didn't leave much time for real dates. I went out a lot when I was stripping, but most of those guys just wanted to take me to their apartment so that they could get into my panties."

She laughed. "I want you to understand that you're going to get lucky every time we go out and a lot more times when we don't go out. That should allow us to be able to relax and enjoy each other. Sweetie I'm looking forward to going to concerts, movies, art galleries, baseball games and anything else that might interest either of us."

"Tonnie that sounds wonderful, but I don't know if I have enough money to..."

"Kirby, I know this is going to be hard for you, but honey I'm rich. I've worked my ass off as a hooker for the last twenty years. I never had a pimp and I never did drugs. I saved every penny I earned. Sweetheart, it's finally time for me to enjoy the fruits of all that hard work and you just happen to be the guy I want to enjoy it with. Get used to it buster, you're dating a rich broad and you aren't going to get to pay for anything."

Kirby smiled sheepishly. "That is going to be hard for me, but I'll try."

Tonya gently kissed the big man's forehead. "Kirby, I think that you and I are going to have a wonderful time together."

I glanced at the clock. It was five minutes past ten. "Hey everybody, I have to run. I promised Ellen that I would be at the Crier office by 10:30."

As I grabbed my jacket out of the storage closet Tonya said, "Hey Timmy, when I get to the office today, Martin is going to ask me what kind of a car he should buy for you. What should I tell him?"

I stopped. I knew what I wanted but I was ashamed to admit it.

Kirby looked at us. "What's all this about buying cars?"

Tonya smiled at him. "One of the perks of working for the firm is that they like to reward their productive employees. One of the ways they do that is by purchasing nice cars for us to drive."

Kirby nodded. "Your Mercedes Benz for example."

"Yes, the firm purchased that for me. The partners want to buy a car for Timmy. They feel responsible for some of the pain and anguish that he had to endure during the past year. I think they view buying a nice car for him as one way they can try to compensate him for what happened."

"So he could buy any car?"

"Within reasonable limits. I don't think they'd be willing to buy him a Rolls Royce or a Bentley."

Kirby shook his head. "Shit Timmy, I know what I'd tell them."

I smiled at my friend. "What would you want Kirby?"

"A big Lincoln just like the one's they send over here to pick you up. I would love to drive a great big luxury car like that."

"That car would be too big for me. I'd never feel comfortable driving it."

Kirby laughed. "I know I sure would."

Tonya poked his side. "Well, if you're a good boy Santa might just get you one for Christmas."

Kirby looked at her in alarm.

She laughed. "I told you, you're dating a rich broad. Get used to it."

Tonya turned back to me. "So Timmy, it's decision time. What should I tell Martin?"

"I can have anything I want?"

"Anything within reason. Do you want a Jaguar like Mandy's?"

I shook my head. "No what I'd really like is a little SUV like a Ford Escape or a Jeep Liberty or maybe a Subaru Forester."

"Timmy those aren't very fancy cars."

"I know, I guess I'm just not a very fancy guy."

Tonya smiled. "Timmy honey, if that's what you want, I'll make sure that's what you're going to get. Are you certain?"

"Yes, that's what I want."

"It's probably going to be a very luxurious version."

I grinned at her. "I guess I'll just have to make do."

What a wonderful, wonderful storyline GH. I just enjoy reading each and every new segment, these characters are so much fun. Thank you so much for all your hard work in bringing it to us.

Wonder where Stormy is? Hope everything is OK.

TrF2

Trf2

As always thank you for your words and support.

I'm also wondering about Storm. I hope that everything is all right.

GH

It was 10:25 when I walked into The Crier office. Ellen was sitting behind her desk working on the proofs for the next issue. When she heard me come in she looked up.

As soon as she realized it was me she stood up and walked around her desk. "Timmy thank you so much for coming. It really is important that I get De junior back into school this morning."

She plopped down on her desk and sighed. "Timmy I don't know what I'm going to do. Kathy has a tuition payment due at the University next week and I don't know how I'm going to pay it. She's trying so hard. She's working thirty hours a week at Benny's Pizza Palace, but she still needs help and we haven't heard from her father in more than a year."

She shook her head. "And it doesn't stop. Sarah is going to the homecoming dance Saturday night. Timmy it's a formal dance. I had to buy her a two hundred dollar dress. When did homecoming become a formal dance? Timmy how many formal dances do you need in high school?" She sighed. "I suppose I could have said no, but she has a new boyfriend. It seemed like this dance was really important to her. Sarah is a good kid. She works twenty hours a week at Peterson's Superette, plays volleyball and earns straight A's. It's hard to say no to her.

I sat down on the desk next to Ellen. I didn't say anything, I just picked up her hand and held it. Ellen responded by laying her head on my shoulder. As she leaned against me, I realized that she was crying.

I let her cry. She needed the release. I kept holding her hand.

After a moment she sat up, rubbed her eyes and sniffled. "Timmy do you want to know the really awful part?"

I looked at her.

She took a deep breath and then she said, "Last week I had to cancel our health insurance. I have two girls of child bearing age. It was costing me $1150.00 a month. I can't afford it."

Ellen closed her eyes. "Timmy, my children don't have health insurance. What's going to happen if one of them gets really sick? What's going to happen if Kathy or Sarah gets pregnant? They're good girls, but they're young. Kathy's twenty-one and Sarah just turned eighteen. You know what it's like. The temptation can be so hard to resist."

She was silent for a moment and then she said, "Dewayne was a drunk and he cheated on me all the time, but he was good with the kids. They miss him. Especially De junior. He's so angry right now. He doesn't understand why his dad left him. I don't either." She smiled at me. "That damn stripper he was so hot for dumped him the minute they got to Vegas."

"When was the last time you heard from him?"

"Not since the stripper's pimp beat him up and made him get out of Vegas. That was over a year ago. I'm sure he's still in LA. I assume that he's managed to hook up with some cute little chippy. He always does."

Ellen looked at me. "Timmy, what am I going to do?" Her voice got quiet. "I'm losing the paper. It's the economy. The small businesses in the area are struggling. They have to cut back. They can't afford to buy ads in The Crier anymore. Small business advertising is our life blood. Those revenues are now less than half of what they were a year ago."

"This probably won't help very much, but you don't have to worry about paying me for a while."

"Timmy I can't ask you to work for nothing!"

I smiled at her. "You don't have to ask, I'm volunteering. Kelly is back at her job and she's earning a good salary. It's more than enough to support us."

Ellen laughed. "Timmy, have you become a kept man?"

For a very brief moment I wondered what Ellen would think if told her that I was actually Kelly's slave. The thought sent a little tingle of excitement rippling through my loins. I took a deep breath and quickly collected my wits. This was not the appropriate time to reveal a personal secret like that.

Instead I smiled and said; "No, I'm not a kept man. Kelly understands how much I enjoy working at this paper and she also knows how rough your life has been since Dewayne left you. She's willing to try to help you in any way she can, and forgoing my salary is very easy for us right now."

Ellen patted my hand. "Thank you Timmy, you're a good friend."

We sat together silently for a minute and then she stood up. "I guess I'd better be getting to school. De junior is going to meet me there. Our appointment with the assistant principal is at 11:00."

Ellen put on her jacket. After she picked up her purse she turned to me. "Timmy, thank you so much for coming in this morning. I really do appreciate it."

I nodded. "I'm happy I could help."

She smiled. "And thank you for listening to me. I guess I needed to cry on your shoulder for a few minutes."

"Ellen, you can use my shoulder anytime you need it."

She grinned at me and said; Timmy you're a wonderful, thanks for being my friend. Then she turned and hurried out the door.

As soon as she was gone I walked over to my desk. I had some advertising copy to edit. As I sat down I chuckled. I now had two jobs and I wasn't getting paid at either of them.

It was just after noon when Ellen returned. As she walked into the office I looked at her and said, "How did everything go?"

She shrugged and in a quiet voice said; "Fine, there weren't any problems. De is back in school."

Ellen's response was automatic, almost robot like. It was apparent that her mind was preoccupied with something else.

She set down her purse and hung up her jacket. Then she walked over to her desk, sat down and silently stared at the wall.

"Ellen, what's wrong? Did something happen at school?"

She shook her head. "No everything at school was fine."

"It's obvious that something happened."

Ellen looked at me for a moment and then she sighed. "I'm sorry Timmy, that was rude of me. I didn't mean to ignore you. I'm just so surprised and a little puzzled."

"Why? What happened?"

"When I was driving back here from the high school I got a call on my cell phone. It was from a man named Allan Barkley. He told me that he represents a group that's interested in buying The Crier. He wanted to set up a meeting with me. Timmy why would anyone want to buy a dying neighborhood shopping flyer? It doesn't make any sense."

"Are you going to meet with him?"

"Of course, if they really do want to buy the paper and their willing to pay enough so that I can settle my debts it would be a wonderful stroke of good luck."

“Do you really want to sell the paper?”

“No, but I think I'm going to lose it anyway. If someone buys it at least I might be able to get out of debt.”

"When are you going to meet with him?"

"Three o'clock this afternoon. He's coming here."

"Will you call me after the meeting is over and let me know what happened?"

Ellen smiled. "Yes, of course I will."

I quickly finished editing the last of the advertising copy. Ellen had been correct, there wasn't very much of it. As soon as I was done I said goodbye to her and left to go home. I was curious to see this man who was interested in buying The Crier, but I was even more interested in getting home to see Kelly before she had to leave to go into her office. She'd spent Saturday night at the party at Eagle Lake, but this was going to be the first time since we got back together that she would be spending the evening entertaining a businessman at The Calvert Hotel.

As I drove home I remembered that cold lonely evening two weeks earlier when I followed my wife to The Calvert. That night I had been certain that she was going to leave me for another man.

Could be a coincidence couldn't it, but can I guess the identity of mystery man at the hotel. Could the man who usually creates an every expanding web actually be tying up a loose end in a story ? Surely not.

Another nice interlude GH. Sometimes you don't need sex.

GH,

Just catching up on your story and loving every moment of it!

Thanks for your time and effort!!

GH, I've been away for a while; just spent two hours getting caught up with Timmy & the gang. Absolutely great work! Thanks for keeping us all entertained. I'm already anticipating the next contribution!

Wow, what a treasure trove of great reading to return to! Got up to 8/23, through Timmy and Kelly's enjoyment of each other and had to...ahem...take a break. Thanks for all of your great writing and hard work GH, I've seriously missed reading you. It's good to be back.

The scene with Ellie, Kirby, and Timmy, while mostly non-sexual, was wonderful. As we've said before, the kind of people we'd like to know.
Thanks again!

Finally caught up again. Just wonderful reading GH. Sex, no sex, I still enjoy your writing. I'm really glad to see that you're enjoying it as well. You have so many little side diversions going on here, each one makes it so much more interesting. As I said before, I really like all of these charcters and the way they interact. Timmy's choice of cars is so typical of his character, but honestly, I was hoping for a Ferrarri for him.

Thanks for working so hard to bring us this story.

It's nice to have you back.

Sorry it took so long to get this next segment posted. We had a very busy Labor Day weekend

GH

When I pulled my car into our garage I was happy to see that Kelly's Mercedes was still there. I didn't think that she would have left already, but I knew that she was supposed to meet with Tonya later that afternoon so I wasn't certain.

When I walked into the kitchen I didn't immediately see my wife so I called out; "Kelly, I'm home."

"I'm back here."

I followed the response. It had been faint and came from the direction of our bedroom. When I got into the bedroom I saw that the bathroom door was open.

"I'm in here Timmy."

I stepped into the bathroom. Kelly was seated on the edge of the bathtub. She was naked. I stopped for a moment and stared at her. My wife was a beautiful woman. Seeing her naked body always made my pulse race.

She was shaving her pussy. She looked up at me and smiled. "Hi Timmy."

I answered her. "Hi Kelly." And then like a fool, I stated the obvious. "You're shaving your pussy."

Kelly giggled. "That's very observant of you." She was making fun of me.

I shook my head. "I'm sorry, that was a stupid thing to say."

She smiled. "It's okay, you don't have anything to be sorry about. I shouldn't have teased you. I forget that it's been a long time since you watched me get ready for a date. Ever since I started working as a hostess I've made it a point to always shave my pussy before I entertain a man. When he touches me there I like to be nice and smooth for him."

"I didn't see you shave Saturday afternoon before you went to the party at Eagle Lake."

"I did it at Eagle Lake. I have my own bedroom and private bathroom there. Remember, when I left here I was wearing jeans and a tee shirt." She laughed. "It's a good thing too. The dress I wore to the party would have gotten me arrested if I'd tried t wear it in public."

I chuckled.

She went back to shaving. While she worked she casually said, "I used to have to do this in the bathroom in my office at JTandR. It's nice to be able to do it at home. It allows me to spend more time with you."

"I like having you here." I grinned at her. "It's also fun to watch you shave."

Kelly glanced at me. She flashed a casual smile while she continued shaving. Suddenly she stopped what she was doing and looked up at me. She'd just realized that watching her shave was getting me aroused.

She stared at me for a moment and then in a very firm voice Kelly said, "Don't get any ideas Buster. This body is strictly off limits to you until after I get home from my date tonight."

I sighed with disappointment. I was hoping that I'd at least have a chance to lick her freshly shaved pussy before she left.

Kelly saw the disappointment in my eyes. She thought for a second and then she gently said, "Timmy in the last week you've heard Martin Jackson, Tonya, Mandy, Chris and Antoine all tell you how good I am at my job."

I nodded.

"One of the reasons for that is my ability to completely focus my attention on the man I'm with at the moment. You witnessed that Friday morning when I was sucking Martin's cock. You misunderstood what you saw and assumed that I must have feelings for him. Now I think you realize that I don't. I hope you understand that you're the only man I'll ever love."

I smiled at her.

"What is true Timmy, is that while you're the only man I'll ever love, I do have a passion for sex. Everything about it excites me. The men I'm with sense this passion and I think it's one of the reasons that they find sex with me to be so exciting."

I laughed. "It may also have something to do with the fact that you're absolutely gorgeous."

"Thank you Babydoll. That's one of the nine million reasons I'm madly in love with you. You know how to make a girl feel good about herself." She smiled at me for a moment and then she shook her head and said, "No, beauty may be an initial attraction, but there are lots of gorgeous women who are rotten in bed."

I shrugged. "I wouldn't know. I have very limited experience in that area."

Kelly giggled. "And you'd better keep it that way cuckboy. I'm an insanely jealous woman."

For a moment we both chuckled about the irony in that statement, then my wife's voice took a serious tone again. "Timmy there isn't any question that most men love playing with my big breasts and I've worked hard to become a skilled lover." She winked at me. "I really do give an excellent blow job."

I nodded. "That's what I've heard."

Kelly rolled her eyes. "Now who's doing the teasing."

I grinned at her and wiggled my eyebrows.

That made her laugh. "Timmy being with you is so much fun."

"I have a pretty good time with you too."

We smiled at each other and then Kelly said, "I'd like both of us to try to be serious for a moment. It's really important to me that you understand what I'm attempting to explain to you."

"All right, I'm sorry, go ahead."

My wife took a moment to regain her train of thought and then she said, "Timmy when men sense my excitement it fuels there own excitement. Everyone wants an eager lover. Nobody wants a sex partner who's faking her enthusiasm or even worse, just going through the motions. When I'm with a guy, I'm not faking it. I don't have to fake anything. My excitement is genuine. It's not because I'm attracted to the man I'm entertaining." She smiled. "Although I often am. I really do find most men to be incredibly tantalizing."

I smiled at her. I wanted her to know that I was trying to understand what she was telling me.

Kelly smiled back and then she continued. "When I'm with a man I'm focused and absorbed in what I'm doing because I'm excited about it. Babydoll sex excites me. Everything about sex excites me."

Kelly grinned at me. "Timmy even the anticipation of sex excites me. Before you came in here I was day dreaming about my date tonight. I don't know the man I'm going to be meeting. This will be the first time I've ever entertained him. I have been told a little bit about him. They always give me a short report on my associates interests and general professional background. It makes it easier to make conversation."

I nodded.

"He's an older man and very successful." She looked at me. "Wealthy, powerful men turn me on. There's something about their attitude and manner that I find incredibly stimulating. "

Kelly finished shaving her pussy. She stood up and turned on the shower. Without being asked I stood up, picked up a wash cloth and rubbed some soap on it.

My wife noticed what I was doing and shook her head. "If you're going to bathe me, you really should be naked."

I didn't argue, I didn't question her assertion at all. I just set the washcloth down and quickly removed my clothing. As soon as I was undressed I picked up the washcloth and again started bathing Kelly.

She closed her eyes. As I washed her she quietly said, "Timmy the anticipation of a new man is always unbelievably exciting for me. I try to imagine what he's going to look like. How his body will feel when I touch him. How it will feel when he touches me."

"I love to wonder about his cock." Kelly smiled. "Timmy I love cocks. I always have. They're really quite amazing devices. When they're resting they look so small and benign. Then when you rouse them they grow into these huge malevolent looking monsters."

I chuckled. Kelly's poetic nature was coming out. She loved metaphors.

"Before I meet a new man I always wonder about his cock. Will it be long and thick? Will he be circumcised? How will it taste when I put it in my mouth and suck it? What will it feel like when he pushes it into my pussy and starts fucking me?"

Kelly took a quick breath. "Timmy I love to fuck, especially when the man's on top." She sighed. "I can't begin to describe the thrill I experience when I feel a man climb on top of me and press his body against mine. Men are so powerful when they're on top. They're in total control."

Kelly looked at me to gauge how I was reacting to what she was telling me.

I stared at my wife. I'd always known how much Kelly loved sex, but this was the first time she'd ever tried to explain her passion to me.

Kelly sensed my interest, she continued. "Timmy I relish that magnificent moment when I feel the head of a new lover's penis entering me for the very first time."

My wife bit her lower lip and took a quick breath. She was obviously aroused. "I like a man who moves slowly when he takes me. I want to savor all of the wonderful sensations that I feel as he pushes his cock deeper and deeper into my body."

Kelly paused to take another breath. After a moment She continued. "Once he's all the way inside me, even if his penis is small, I like it when my lover stops for a second so that we can both enjoy the sweet pleasure of the union we just created."

I was washing Kelly's tummy. I'd already finished her back and her breasts. The entire time I'd been bathing my wife I'd been listening to what she was telling me and her explanation was gradually getting me increasingly aroused. As my excitement grew my submissive masochistic desires also burgeoned.

Kelly sensed my changing mood. She smiled. It was a satisfied smile, a smile that reflected her recognition of my eager acquiescence to her will. In a voice laden with lust she whispered, "Wash my pussy dicklet. I want to be clean and fresh when I go to my lover."

Now she was taunting me. It was apparent that my wife's dominant sadistic desires had also been awakened. Her choice of words, the obvious excitement in her voice and her use of my slave name all served to fan the flames of my arousal. My hands shook as I held the washcloth under the spray of warm water. Once it was wet I excitedly rubbed the cloth with the bar of soap. As soon as it was coated with a generous froth of suds I started washing Kelly.

I took my time and worked meticulously. The knowledge that I was doing this for another man's pleasure made me even more excited. As my excitement grew I let a finger slip between Kelly's labia. The cleft of her pussy was wet and slippery. I understood that it was partly due to the soap and warm water, but I knew that wasn't the only reason. My wife was just as aroused as I was.

I found Kelly's engorged clit. As I began to gently massage it I felt her hand tap my shoulder. I looked up at her.

She waved a finger at me in rebuke. "No Timmy, I already told you; this evening my pussy belongs to another man. After he's finished with me I'll come home to you and we can play for the rest of the night; but until that time my body is off limits to you."

I took a deep breath. Kelly's firm rejection of my advance excited me even more.

My wife noted my reaction and quietly said. "Timmy, it's much better this way. The anticipation and desire for sex is nearly as much fun as the act itself."

She leaned over and gently raised my chin with her fingertips so that she was looking into my eyes. "I also have to admit that knowing that I'm leaving you at home frustrated and longing for pleasure while I go to another man so that he can freely enjoy my body makes me feel deliciously wicked." She smiled. "And you know how much I love being wicked."

Kelly continued to stare into my eyes. My entire being was tingling with excitement. I gathered my courage and answered in my most obedient tone of voice. "Ms. Mason, I am your slave. I fully understand that the needs of your lovers are paramount to my own paltry desires and I only hope that when you return home you will take pity on me and allow me some scant pleasure."

Kelly's face broke into a smile and then she started giggling. She pulled me up and wrapped her arms around my shoulders. As she hugged me she said; "Timmy in addition to being a wonderful friend and husband, you are also the most creative playmate that I have ever known. Babydoll, when I get home there is going to be nothing scant about the pleasure I'm going to give to you."

She paused for a moment and then she said, "But I would like you to promise me one thing."

"What is it?"

"Promise me that you won't masturbate while I'm gone." There was a wicked gleam in my wife's eyes. "It will excite me to know that while I'm partying with my date, you're obediently waiting for me at home chaste and absolutely faithful."

A little thrill rippled through me as I looked into Kelly's eyes and slowly nodded. "Yes Ms. Mason, I promise."

Kelly grinned and kissed me on the lips. "Timmy honey we're going to have so much fun when I get home tonight. You're still planning to write a story aren't you?"

"Yes I am."

"Good, I'm looking forward to sucking your cock while you read it to me."

I laughed. "With a promise like that I might right an entire book."

Kelly poked me in the ribs. "Come on lover boy, finish washing my legs and feet. I have to get out of the shower and get moving. I promised Tonya that I'd meet her in her office at 4:30."

I glanced at the clock on the shelf in the corner. It was almost 3:30. Kelly had plenty of time, but she couldn't afford to dawdle. I quickly washed her legs and feet. As soon as I was done she stepped out of the shower and I dried her off with a large bath towel.

Once she was dry Kelly went into our bedroom.

I took a quick shower, dried myself and followed her into the bedroom. My wife was sitting at her makeup table brushing her long blond hair. I quickly put on clean clothes.

As soon as she saw that I was dressed Kelly said, "Dicklet, get me a pair of panties and a bra. Nothing fancy, the dress and lingerie that I'll be wearing for my date tonight are in my office. I'll change when I get there."

As I was getting Kelly's underwear I asked, "Ms. Mason would you like me to make you something to eat before you go?"

She shook her head. "No thank you dicklet, I'm having dinner at the Goldenrod Supper club tonight. On the evenings we're entertaining at the Calvert Hotel Tonya, Mandy, Keisha and I almost always have dinner together at the Goldenrod."

Kelly was applying her lipstick. Suddenly she stopped and turned so that she was facing me. "Babydoll, on most of these evenings we would love to have you join us, but tonight you can't. Tonight Martin is going to be dining with us. It's going to be a business meeting. Tonya told me that they're planning some major changes in the hostess section. Martin is going to tell us about them tonight."

"Do you know what kind of changes they're going to make?"

"I don't, but I assume that they are going to be adding more people. Over the last year our schedules have been getting busier and busier."

As soon as Kelly was finished applying her lipstick she stood up and started getting dressed. She put on a pair of jeans, a white blouse and a pair of high heeled sandals. Once she was ready she checked her appearance in her full length mirror and then she turned to me. "Timmy honey I have to go."

I walked out to the garage with her. I opened the door to Kelly's Mercedes and held it for her.

She smiled at me. "I'll miss you tonight."

"I'll miss you too."

She kissed me on the lips and then she got into her car. I walked out into the front yard and watched as my wife backed her big sedan down the driveway and out into the street.

She waved to me as she put the car into gear and drove away. I waved back as I watched the big Mercedes accelerate down the street.

Watching your wife leave to spend the evening with another man is one of those bittersweet moments that make a masochistic cuckold's life both indescribably exciting and excruciatingly painful.

Sometimes, words fail me, so I'll just say Wonderful and thanks.

GH

Let me echo what Peakmb Said. Here, Here!! Thanks!!!

Meijer

That was so much fun! I've loved this story from the start, and having the pleasure of reading multiple segments at once like that was a true treat. Of course, it was at the cost of not getting to enjoy it for a few weeks, so everything has its price, I guess. Timmy, Kelly, Tonya, Kirby and the rest of the gang have made bold strides, amazing

I am just so much enjoying the smooth flow and the fascinating storyline, the great friendships and the awakenings to new experiences. Like all great fiction literature, it is a wonderful escape from reality to a more interesting (and in this case, perfect) place.
Thanks GH, for all of your time and effort. It is enormously appreciated.

storm

P.S.
Thanks guys, for wondering awhile back where I went. Good to know I was missed, helps to have the old ego stroked occasionally! It was mostly just no access issues due to being in the backcountry, and to relocating several times until I found a place and got settled. I actually, at one point, had someone offer to let me live in their storage shed and use the bathroom and showers at a nearby laundromat! Thank goodness it never came to that, although I've done worse back when I was younger and didn't care about such things. Good to be back!

storm..... Welcome back!


GH:

As always..... it just keeps getting better and better.

Peak, Meijer, Storm and cuckold4one

Thank you for the comments. I appreciate them.

I'm sorry for the delay on these next segments. I have actually been doing alot of writing, but I felt like this section should be posted as a whole.

I have been writing the segments in reverse order. When you see all of them you might understand. When I finished these next two segments I realized that they could be posted independently. I hope to have the rest tomorrow or Friday.

After Kelly's Mercedes disappeared around the corner I went back into the house. When I walked into the kitchen I glanced at the clock on the wall. It was five minutes to four, too early to make dinner.

I decided to use the time to catch up on some household chores. The events of the past two weeks had disrupted my daily routine so the house wasn't as orderly as I like it to be.

I started by giving the kitchen a thorough cleaning. I'd just finished washing the linoleum floor when the telephone rang. I assumed that it was Ellen calling to tell me about the meeting with the man who was interested in buying The Crier.

I picked up the telephone. "Hello?"

"Hi Timmy, it's Mandy."

"Hi Mandy, aren't you supposed to be meeting with Tonya, Kelly, Keisha and Antoine right now?"

"We just finished. All of us are still in Tonya's office. We'll be leaving to have dinner at the Goldenrod in about ten minutes. Timmy everyone says hi."

"Tell them hi for me."

"Timmy all of us love your idea about buying a smaller house and building an addition. We're going to tell Martin about it at dinner. I'm sure that he'll agree that it's an excellent plan."

"I think it's the only way we can get exactly what we want."

"That's what we think too." Mandy paused for a moment and then she said, "Timmy I called to ask you for a favor."

"Sure, what is it?"

"Do you remember that when I was telling you about the problems between my mom and dad I mentioned that I thought it might be helpful if he could talk to a man who didn't mind that his wife slept with other men?"

"Yes, I remember."

"Timmy could I bring my dad over to your house for lunch tomorrow? Kelly's right here. She suggested that we get together at your house rather than a restaurant."

"Mandy, I have to work in the morning."

"I know, but Tonya and Kelly said that you're done at 10:30. We could have lunch at noon or even 12:30. It doesn't have to be anything fancy, soup and sandwiches would be just fine. I'll help you with the preparations and cleanup. Please Timmy, he really needs to talk to you. The only men he's ever talked to about this are those macho assholes at his office and you can just imagine what kind of advice they've given him."

"Mandy, I'm only twenty-four. Do you think he'd even bother to listen to anything I have to say?"

"Yes Timmy, I think he will listen to you. He knows you're a friend of mine and that I value your opinion. He also really wants to get back together with my mom. I'm absolutely certain that the idea of being a cuckold husband excites him and I think he's just as submissive as you or me. I've been trying to encourage him, but he needs another man to tell him that this lifestyle is okay."

"All right Mandy, I'll do it; but you have to promise me that both you and Kelly to be there."

"Don't worry, we'll both be there. Timmy if you give me a shopping list I'll go to the grocery store for you while you're at work."

"Thank you Mandy, but I don't think that will be necessary. If we have lunch at noon I'll have plenty of time to stop at the store on my way home. I would appreciate it if you could help me prepare the food."

"Timmy I'd love to do that. We'll get my dad to help too. Both of us want to learn how to cook."

"Would you like to learn how to make Quiche Lorraine?"

"Quiche Lorraine! Timmy that would be wonderful. Will you have enough time to do that?"

"We might have to wait until 1:00 to eat, but if you and your dad help me we can certainly do it. We could make a spinach salad to go with it."

"Just a minute Timmy."

There was a pause. I could hear talking in the background.

After a moment Mandy said; "Timmy, Kelly just told everyone that your quiche is fabulous. Now Tonya, Keisha and Antoine want to come over too."

"Will that upset your dad?"

"I don't think it will. He wants to meet my friends and if he realizes that all of us approve of this lifestyle it might actually help."

"All right, go ahead and invite everyone. Once I start making quiches it's just as easy to make three as it is to make one."

"Timmy it's time for us to leave for dinner. I wish I could invite you to join us, but tonight it's a business dinner. Martin, John and Wendell are going to be there."

"I know, Kelly told me all about it. Don't worry, I understand."

"Timmy thank you for agreeing to talk to my dad tomorrow."

"Hey it's all right. I think it's going to be fun. I'm already looking forward to it."

"So am I. Goodbye Timmy, I'll see you tomorrow."

"Goodbye Mandy."

After I hung up the telephone I took a minute to think about what I had to do to get the house ready to entertain a group for lunch the next day, then I went to work.

I'd just finished vacuuming the dining room when the telephone rang again.

This time it was Ellen.

"Hello Timmy."

"Hi Ellen, how did your meeting go?"

"Timmy, I'm not sure. I met with Alan Barkley and two other men for over two hours. They never made an offer. I'm still don't even know if they're actually interested in buying The Southwest Crier. Mostly they seemed to be gathering information. They asked to look at the financial records."

"Did you let them see them?"

"Yes I did. I couldn't think of any reason that I shouldn't. I'm going to lose the paper anyway. I'll cooperate with anybody who might be willing to do anything that could help me reduce my debts."

"That does make sense Ellen. Did anything else happen?"

"Yes, they asked me how much money I'd want for The Crier if they did decide that they'd like to buy it."

"What did you tell them?"

"I told them that all they'd have to do is assume my debts. Timmy right now just being able to walk away from The Crier debt free would be an unbelievable blessing. It would allow me to try to find a regular job. I could actually get medical insurance for my kids again."

"What did they say to that?"

"They told me that they'd get back to me in a couple of days."

"I'll keep my fingers crossed for you."

Ellen laughed. "Thanks Timmy, you're a good friend."

"Are you still going to try to get out the next issue of the paper?"

"I have to, people have paid for advertising space."

"When would you like me to come in to help you?"

"Could you help me with the final editing Thursday afternoon."

"I'll be there around 11:00 and I'll stay until we're finished."

"Timmy I have to go. I promised Sarah that I'd pick her up after volleyball practice." She paused for a moment and then she said, "Timmy thank you so much for everything you've done, you really are a wonderful friend."

"You're welcome Ellen. I'm just glad that I can do something to help you. Call me if you hear anything more about the sale of The Crier."

"I will Timmy, bye."

"Bye Ellen."

After I hung up the telephone I picked up the vacuum cleaner and carried it into the living room. As I vacuumed the carpet I thought about Kelly and me, Elvira, Mandy and her parents, Kirby and his store and Ellen and her kids.

Elvira was wasting away and on the verge of dying from grief when Kirby intervened and saved her life. Kelly and I were separated and on the brink of divorce when Martin Jackson, Tonya, Mandy, Wendell Tyler and others interceded and helped us resolve our differences.

Tomorrow I was going to meet with Mandy's father, a man I'd never even met and try to help him reconcile with his wife. I was very nervous about doing it, but Mandy was my friend. If I could help her I had to do it.

As I continued vacuuming I wished that I could think of some way to help Kirby and Ellen. They were both wonderful people and good friends. They deserved a break; but no matter how hard I tried I couldn't think of anything that I could do that would help them solve their problems.

GH:

Another heart warming segment. I think this is the first time you left their age slip out. I was thinking that our group of sluts were a little older.

Keep up the fine work..... it's always nice to read your postings.
