Chained To Desire

Chapter 1

Vern had met Ellen Lanning at the bar, but now they sat in a dimly lit booth in a comer of the large cafe. They sat very close, giggling as they sipped their third margarita and listened to the guitarist some twenty yards away. Vern found it hard to believe that this lovely, very square, young schoolteacher from Los Angeles had come to San Juan, Puerto Rico on her summer vacation with the idea of at last losing her virginity.

A practical business man, Vern did not believe in twenty-eight-year-old virgins. But that's what she'd confided to him, and somehow he believed her. His hand roamed freely up and down her leg beneath the table. He nibbled at her ear. "But why me?" he asked again, excited. He had never fucked a virgin before.

She sighed, pressing her breast against his shoulder. "I told you," she said. "It has to be someone, huh? And you just seem like-well, Mr. Right."

"Are you sure I'm Mr. Right?" he asked, boldly guiding her hand under the table to his swollen, aching hard-on that pressed so hard against his fly he thought it might break.

She groaned, caressing the length of his erect stalk, then cupped his balls with her eager hand. "Ohhh, yesss," she intoned. Then, a trifle embarrassed, she withdrew her hand and glanced nervously about the room to see if anyone had seen her groping. "Please, I-I've told you an awful lot. More than I ever told any man. But it's true…I need you…can't we go to your hotel now?" Her breath came fast, her large breasts rising and falling, the nipples erect beneath the sheer, white blouse.

"Uh-in a minute," Vern said, glancing down at his erection. "I have this slight problem, you see."

Her full lips parted in a trembling smile as she tried to look casual. "Oh, yes," she squeaked. "I see. It's marvelous, Vern. You will forgive me, Vern? I'm shaking all over. I-I don't know why. I mean, I've seen the best porno movies. It isn't as if I-"

She broke off, hugging herself and rocking forward and backward, visibly trembling all over. "Damn it!" she whispered. "You know what this is all about, don't you? I'm afraid it isn't going to happen, Vern. I-I'm terrified you're going to change your mind. I'm terrified youll see some other female you want to sleep with. I need you, Vern. I never thought I'd say that to any man, but it's true. I've waited so long and it's so important. Oh, forgive me." She laid her forehead against his arm and stared down at his hard-on hungrily, obviously embarrassed by her confession. "You can't possibly understand-not possibly."

"You want to bet?" Vern said, patting her head paternally. "Look, men know all about the way you feel. We've been where you are right now a hundred times, a thousand times. Don't worry, Ellen. I won't run off. No chance. Well make it together and it will be good for you. I promise."

He kissed the top of her head then, inhaling the fragrance of the shiny, fight-brown tresses and trying to think his hard-on away so they could leave for his hotel. And then, just two booths to their right, Vern saw a semi-elderly couple engaged in sex play. He couldn't believe his eyes! While the waiter discreetly looked the other way, the woman was sucking off her husband in perfect time to the guitar music! Her blonde-gray head bobbed up and down, up and down, appearing and disappearing beneath the table. Panting, mouth open, the man seemed heavy-lidded, drunk, as his wife gobbled his meat greedily.

"The Americanos are out making terrific reputations for themselves as usual," Vern said. "Look, dear."

Ellen glanced over at the public sex scene, blinked her large, brown eyes in amazement and swallowed. "I don't believe it!" she whispered. "Can't they wait?"

"Guess not," Vern said. "Come on. Let's get out of here while this pole of mine is at least partly soft."

It was a typically humid Caribbean night. The moon was full and the calm surf of Morro Bay showed silver as it splashed flat on the pure, white sand. Vern hailed a publico, and ten minutes later the driver pulled up in front of the Caribe Hilton. The casino was jammed with affluent turistas. Hand in hand, Vern and Ellen entered the elevator, got off at the fifth floor, and then they were alone in Vern's room. He opened the drapes, allowing a good view of the moonlit sea.

Ellen stood staring out and Vern got behind her, encircled her with his arms, cupped her breasts and pressed his rising manhood against her delectable buttocks. She wagged her ass, massaging his prick. Vern licked at her neck and ear, flicked her erect nipple with his thumbs. "God, do I ever want to fuck you," he said.

To his surprise, her hand immediately dropped and began fondling his bone-hard cock. "I want you to do everything to me," she said. "And I want to do everything to you. You-you'll have to forgive me, but I've waited a-a lifetime for this!"

Both hands on his pulsing prong, she slithered to her knees before him then and began kissing his hard-on beneath his trousers. He stared down at her, letting her have her way, letting her mew and rub her cheeks adoringly against his tingling cock and balls.

"Can I trust you?" she asked. "Can I trust you to make it good?"

"You can trust me," he stammered. "Don't worry. You'll come, sugar. I promised, didn't I?" He decided it was time for some male direction. "Take it out, Ellen," he said evenly. "Take my prick out of my pants and do whatever you want. Do what you have to do. It's all right, Ellen. I understand. Take my prick out."

"Yes, yesss," she cried. "Oh, God yesss…"

Her mouth went slack and her eyes grew desperate as she unzipped his fly. And then his expanded cock, tall and thicker and dribbling more than he could ever remember, flopped free for her adoring inspection. She grasped it hard, began showering it with adoring, hungry kisses, cradled it between her chin and heaving chest, babbled incoherently something about maleness. Staring down, Vern could make out only a few of her frenzied phrases. "… big stick…beautifully hard…fuck stick…come in me…lick cock…"

She went on and on that way, in a kind of loving, holy, female chant. It was a beautiful thing to witness, and Vern felt his prick expand as it had never expanded before. It was difficult to believe this young woman was a virgin. Well, he would soon find out, and even if she weren't cherry, what the hell difference did it make? Still the idea of fucking, of initiating a virgin, excited him beyond his wildest expectations.

He reached down and began unbuttoning the back of her blouse while her kisses grew wet against his flesh stalk. He wanted his prick against her sensitive nipples. "You're doing fine," he gasped. "Let's get those tits out. I want 'em against my balls. I wanna feel 'em while you lick my cock. All right?"

"Yes. Ohh, yesss," she chanted, shuddering. "Tell me what to do. I-I'll do anything-everything!"

Her blouse was off now. Vern released her bra clasp and her big tits hung free and milk-white in the moonlight. He palmed the breasts, rolling the dark, erect nipples between his thumbs and forefingers as he pumped slightly with his hips, spearing his hard-on against her neck, cheeks, lips. She rolled her head as if the pleasure she was experiencing was too intense to bear. He then fucked, with steady thrusts, each erect nipple. Without coaxing, she spread the aperture at the end of his cock and inserted one nipple and then the other inside his cock slit.

"You're an imaginative little virgin," he managed.

"I've had lots of time f-for f-fantasies," she murmured.

"Now take it in your mouth," he commanded gently. "Take my hard-on all the way inside your mouth and nurse on it." Suddenly, he held her head, stopping her hungry lunge. "No, first lick the head…lick it clean."

She obeyed, lapping hungrily and appreciatively and swallowing from time to time, until he instructed her to stop. He noticed then that her hand had dropped to her vagina. Yes, she had spread her knees on the floor slightly, put her hand up under her dress and had begun manually stimulating her cunt while licking his prick. He wished there was some way to rub her love nub while she sucked his rod, but that was not possible because he wanted her down there in front of him on her knees. That would come later. Yes, he would tongue her cunt.

He had never before felt the urge to dominate a female, to play "master," but for some inexplicable reason Ellen brought out some new and dormant need. "Don't make yourself come," he ordered. "Leave that to me!"

"Yes," she answered, her facial muscles twitching.

He raised her chin and stared into her pleading eyes. "Now I want you to suck my rod," he said. "I'm going to fuck your mouth nice and slow. You're going to be my cocksucker before we fuck, all right?"

"I told you before I want to do anything, everything," she said. "You can come that way if you want," she said. "I-I want you to. Go ahead and come in my mouth if you want to, hmm?"

"We'll see," Vern said. "There's plenty of time for everything. Right now just go ahead and suck it for a while. We'll see."

Vern ran his fingers along her scalp, holding her head firmly, and began easing his bulbous cockhead between her willing, swollen lips. She took to cock-sucking beautifully, as though she had been practicing all her life on knockwurst. He feasted his eyes on her hollowed cheeks as she dined mewingly, taking more and more of his flesh wedge into her mouth. like an eager horse, he let her have a little at a time, feeding it to her until half of his wanger was inside the gulping mouth, nearing the back of her throat, brushing the sides of the saliva-wet cavern. And then it was in as far as it would go, jabbing at the back of her throat while she grunted for more and kneaded his scrotum as if to coax forth the sperm in readiness there. Twice she took his prick from her mouth and drew his testicles slowly, gently, lovingly, inside her mouth, too.

Finally, when the tempo on his stalk became too frantic, and the sight of his prick worrying the inner folds of her mouth too stimulating for safety, he forced himself to withdraw completely and raised her to her feet. "Not in your mouth," he gasped. "Not yet!"

She protested briefly, begging him to come in her mouth, but she quieted when he spread her legs wide and slid his prick between her legs, so that it protruded beyond her ass and she could ride it and apply prick pressure whenever she pleased. Her skirt and panties were still on and Vern savored the feel of the silken, wet panties between his swollen flesh spear and her cunt and rectum.

He let her ride him that way, making a pleasure rail of his erect meat as he rubbed and sucked her tits. Finally, abruptly, he denied her his shaft, hastily stripped her naked, placed her left leg up on the chair arm, palmed her dripping labia and continued to suck her tits.

Her ecstatic groans rose incredibly, delicious to his ears, and gradually he traced the outline of her hole until his middle finger exerted pressure. She threw her head back, bucked involuntarily, then grabbed his wrist. He had not been able to tell if she was a virgin, and it occurred to him that he would not know for sure even if she was. He had never fucked a virgin before, so how would he know?

"Please, Vern!" she said. "I told you-this is my first time. I'm not scared exactly, but will you go easy?"

"Of course," he said. "Trust me. I won't hurt you. HI just play with your clit for a while and then-"

The thought of the tight, virgin cunt filled his mouth with saliva. Suddenly he dropped to his knees and began gorging himself on the tight, young snatch. Gulping, he licked her fiercely from tailbone to clit while her nails dug into his scalp, his back.

"Don't stop! Don't stop!" she pleaded through clenched teeth. "Don't ever stop! Gawd, don't stop! Ohhhhh, kiss it… Make love to it!"

He was concentrating solely on her clitoris now, wagging his head from side to side, his tongue tantalizing her nerve center. Then, slowly, he eased his middle finger into her tight channel as he licked the expanded love nub harder, harder. The eager, dripping twat clenched his finger like a rubber band. He felt no barrier, no virgin membrane. Yes, she could be a virgin. It was un-likely that a twenty-eight-year-old virgin would retain such a membrane. There was horseback riding, the possibility of an experimental finger, all the things he'd heard…

What the hell was he thinking of, he asked himself. What the hell difference did it make anyway? Still, he found himself asking in the middle of finger-fucking this delectable female the telltale question. "Has anyone done this to y-you before? Ever…done…it…to yourself?"

It was a stupid question. He was surprised she answered it. "Yes…a long time ago…just playing around with a sorority sister…didn't mean anything…wanted a man, but I-I was afraid. I wanted a prick, Vern. Your prick, Vern. Give me your prick…now!"

The thought of his prick up inside Ellen's tight cunt was driving him mad. He had never felt such fierce need to imbed his prick into a cunt before. At the same time, though, he wanted to make this first fuck for Ellen an experience she would treasure for a lifetime. Control yourself, Vern, he told himself. Just a bit more foreplay on the bed, and then you can give her the fucking to end all fucks. No, the fucking to begin all fucks! Stay in control, boy…stay in command.

For the first time in his life, he carried a woman. He carried Ellen to the bed, hastily stripped her naked, undressed himself, then lay down on the bed beside her. They lay on their sides, facing each other. Vern's pole still stood straight, rock-hard, throbbing, and instantly Ellen's soft hands grasped it. He let her jack on his rod while he nursed on her heaving tits. His right hand teased her clitoris while his left hand roamed over her back and tensed buttocks. Over and over again, she murmured groaning tributes to his beautiful prick and his skill as a lover.

She lunged with her mouth for his cock suddenly and he let her munch on it for a full minute before he pulled her back up, facing him again. He rubbed her clit harder now as he continued nursing lovingly and thoroughly at her breasts. The nipples were enormous now and he took his time, making a meal of them, twirling his tongue and drawing each one alternately deep into his mouth.

Suddenly she grew very tense and began trembling violently. He knew that signal and immediately ceased fingering her clit "Almost came, huh?"

"Oh, yesss," she said breathlessly. Then, "It's heaven almost coming, but not quite. It makes the coming so much more intense when you go to the brink a few times first."

"True," Vern said. "But how does a virgin know that?"

She gave his balls an affectionate squeeze. "I may be a virgin, but that doesn't mean nobody ever touched me there before. Also, I-I have a right hand, you know."

Vern had to smile. For some reason, the thought of females masturbating had always intrigued him. He reached down and manipulated his rod so that the head entered her hot-slick channel just a bit. Then he moved his prick so that it pressed against her love nub.

"Umm," he said. "I love the preliminary sampling. Yes, you're quite right, Ellen. Fucking is a lot better when you fool around for a long time first." He wiped his prong lingeringly along the length of her vagina. "Men love that pussy heat," he said. "Men will do anything for that bee-uht-eefull heat."

"I understand," Ellen said. "With me it's the boobies. Play with my breasts long enough and I'll follow you anywhere."

"I'll make a mental note of that," he "said.

Vern was surprised at the logic of their conversation. Their voices were excited and quivering, but still they spoke rationally. And then Ellen gave the base of his prick a hard, lustful squeeze.

"W-Why don't you put it in now?" she stammered. She groped his testicles now, too, as she palmed his pulsing meat. "G-Go ahead and put it in, please?"

"No, I don't think so," Vern said. "Let's touch each other for a while longer. Trust me. I know what I'm doing. I love touching every hill and valley of your body this way. I love what you're doing to my cock, too. Does it feel good for you?" He wanted to hear her lust-filled husky voice say it was good.

"Better than anything. Yesss…ummm."

They went on that way, conducting the preliminaries, talking delicious nonsense until, finally, Vern could restrain himself no longer. He began a kissing descent, licking her rib cage, her navel, her silken pubic mound. And then his tongue was lapping at her nerve center, the fragrance of her vagina filling his nostrils. She lay on her back now, legs spread wide, and she thrust up at him gently as he feasted on the little flesh gathering, her love bud. Her voice became an urgent chant as he tongued her clit rhythmically, then wagged his tongue back and forth, kissed it, nursed on it, pampered it while his right hand continued manipulating her erect nipples above. With his other hand he palmed her pubic mound to guide her hip thrusts at his mouth.

He could hear her moaning despite her smooth inner thighs pressing against his cheeks and ears. Hungrily, he licked the fresh, tight cunt while her moaning became ecstatic. And then she began trembling uncontrollably and clutching at his scalp with her nails. Then, gasping and shuddering, she shoved his mouth from her hole and said she didn't want to come that way.

"I-I want to come with your prick," she said. "Your lovely male prick. It has to be with a prick this time…the first time in my life with a-a cock!"

"I understand," Vern said. "Okay then, let's fuck, baby. Let me up there inside you."

To his amazement, she said she wanted to "taste" him for a moment first. He complied, rolling over onto his back, but she had something else in mind-apparently a fantasy she'd entertained for a long time. Instead of going down on him directly, she moved so that her back pressed against the padded headboard, asked him to straddle her with his knees and fuck her mouth.

He obeyed, and it was beautiful watching the innocent mouth ingest his prick almost to the hilt. Bracing himself with his hands against the wall above the headboard, he stared down and savored the slow, saliva-slick entry and exit of his bursting member between the full lips. As he fucked her mouth this way, he massaged her tits and, reaching behind him, fingered her clit with one hand. "Erghmmm…Arghmmm," she grunted as she sucked.

She began jiggling his balls very rapidly with one hand as she sucked, and when she began stimulating his rectal area with the edge of her palm he knew he had to pull out. He had almost come! Gasping, he gave himself a ten-second breather while fingering her cunt, and then he moved between her legs, holding his dribbling shaft in his right hand. With his left hand, he made a pedestal of her cunt and began easing his prickhead into the tight, gushing channel.

Bleary-eyed with lust, she reached down and grabbed his prong to hasten the insertion. She was very snug, though, and winced with pain. Vern waited a moment, then resumed feeding his hard-on into her. Deeper, deeper, he probed, but it was very tight-going.

"Fuck me! Oh, give it to me! Vern, hurry up and fuck me!" Ellen cried.

There was both pain and pleasure in her voice as Vern eased his shaft in deeper, finding incredible relief within the tight, virgin cunt. If she weren't a virgin, she was the tightest non-virgin in existence! The clenching, slick walls of her vagina seemed to clutch every pore of his prick. His eyeballs seemed to press against the top of his head. Ellen's twat was scalding and mercury-slick.

"Ohhh, Jesus!" she groaned through clenched teeth. "Fuck me, fuck me…fucking…oh, fucking is beautiful!"

She worked her ass in a steady, grinding motion to feel every inch of the bone-hard prong. "Purr-fect! It's purr-fect!" she cried. "Fuck, fuck, fuck…"

Vern worked on her skillfully and gently for a long time, reveling in the thought that his was the first male organ to pierce this lovely, needy female. But then, inevitably, he increased the tempo, began slamming down harder into the tight, flowing cunt. He heard his name being repeated over and over again in staccato breath gasps. He held her pumping ass in one hand, teasing her rectum with his middle finger, as he drove steadily and mightily into the depths of the velvet-textured vagina.

His palm was filled with her lubricant, her head tossed from side to side, and her ecstatic squeals filled the room. And then she was shrieking in his ear. "Vern, now! God, now! I'm com-ming nowwww! Stick me…stick meeee…

Vern turned on his come-button then, felt the tingling begin deep down in his groin, work upward through his shaft until he could feel his balls pumping out their contents into the tight, spasming vagina.

They lay loosely clasped and shuddering then for a long time as they recovered from their simultaneous climaxes. Finally, Vern rolled off and over onto his back. Satiated, triumphant, he stared up at the ceiling. Ellen snuggled up to him and whispered, "Now I know what it is," she purred. "Total and absolute relief. Thank you. I'm a woman at last." She kissed him gratefully on the cheek.

"I'm glad you live in Los Angeles," Vern said. "Because I live there too." He shushed her with his hand before she could speak. "Yes, I live in Beverly Hills and I have a feeling we'll be seeing a lot of each other."

And that was the night he had deflowered the virgin in San Juan, Puerto Rico, almost two years ago, and now the virgin was no longer a virgin. She was a bit overweight, flabby and, in fact, at times burden-some…

Chapter 2

Once again, Vera Shipley had enjoyed a most productive and profitable day at Shipley Research Incorporated. He stretched, yawning, rose from his desk, gazed out his office window at the crisp October afternoon and impetuously decided to leave the office at four instead of five. Yes, he would drive a few buckets of golf balls before his usual mind-blowing bed session with Ellen Lanning at her condominium on Wilshire Boulevard.

He stepped into his private John, washed his hands and combed his thick black hair. Vern liked to look at himself in the mirror. At thirty-five, he was slim, handsome, in excellent physical condition and president of his own thriving market research firm here in Beverly Hills. Why shouldn't I leave the office early, he asked himself. I've earned the right. Hell, yes. "Make no mistake about it-I am the president of Shipley Research Incorporated!" he whispered. Vern then savored the idea that he could drive as many buckets of balls as he pleased and arrive whenever he felt like arriving at Ellen's. He had bought her the luxurious condominium last month, she adored him and hungered for his body, and so she would forgive his lateness just as she tolerated his sarcasm, verbal abuse, nagging, criticism, whatever.

Vern winked at himself in the mirror, then stepped into the office adjacent to his. Stan Kettering, his associate, was scowling as he studied the latest computer reports on Wyatt Enterprises, a new client of the firm's. Stan was married, white-haired, almost fifty, and always worked late.

"See ya later, Stan," Vern said. "I'm gonna hit a few at the range before going on over to Ellen's."

Stan looked up, squinting his small, dark, tired-looking eyes behind his bifocals. "Uh-sure," he said. "Gotta few things I want to discuss with you, but they can wait. Give my best to Ellen. See you in the morning. Hit 'em straight, Chief."

Stan always called Vern "Chief." Vern pretended to dislike being called Chief, but he secretly loved it. He exited the spacious reception area without saying goodnight to secretary Vera Klett, then loafed down the hall and pushed the elevator button. He whistled idly as he waited, thinking about hitting the golf balls and about balling Ellen tonight.

Yes, Ellen was a lusty angel all right, he thought, even if she was a trifle too chubby and not much use to him socially with his business associates. Well, he would take care of that little matter tomorrow. Just last week, one of his golf partners at Montague Country Club had informed him about a successful new escort service here in Los Angeles called DREAM-DATE INC., a female escort service, and he had an appointment for the following afternoon to select a female "showpiece"-a rental girl he could display at parties and business affairs.

Vern grinned, scratching his scrotum. Soon he would have the best of all possible worlds: Ellen's earthy, incomparable screwing, plus a beautiful temptress from Dream Date Inc. who was skilled in all the social graces for wining and dining his business clients. What a great idea for a business, Vern thought. He could hardly wait for his appointment tomorrow. Hell, maybe he would even offer his firm's services to Dream-Date-for free! The possibilities were fascinating to ponder.

The elevator doors slid open, Vern entered and got out on the ground floor. Crossing the parking lot, he breathed deeply of the surprisingly smog-free air, got in his shiny black Lincoln Continental and drove to the driving range.

When he'd finished driving three buckets of balls, he had two martinis at the Beverly Wilshire Hotel bar, then drove to Ellen's. It was almost seven when he let himself in with his own key. Ellen kissed him at the door. She was wearing an apron and preparing a stew, she said. He loved her domesticity. He patted her plumpish derriere, sent her on back to the kitchen and sat down to watch the news on TV and read the evening paper at the same time. Whenever possible, Vern did two things at once: he read in the John, sometimes shaved in the shower, and he always read the paper while watching the news. He liked to think this heightened activity was the "key to his success."

The dinner was excellent, although Vern complained that the vegetables were undercooked. Before Ellen served the dessert-vanilla ice cream with creme de menthe-Vern insisted that she take her clothes off and sit naked at the table. She complied willingly, as always, and Vern made her get up from the table occasionally as they ate, and stroll the room for his inspection.

Her body turned him on as no other female's ever had, and this fact never ceased to amaze him. By most standards, Ellen was too plump and even slightly graceless lately, but there was some indefinable something to her walk, the way she smiled understandingly at him, the purr of her voice, the passivity of her stance and manner. He feasted his eyes on her buttocks, the incredibly smooth texture of her skin, the only slightly sagging breasts with their delicious-looking, large, dark nipples. And always she obeyed him…

Yes, her effect upon him was immediate and unmistakable. Even now his erection strained against his fly beneath the table and he could hardly wait for their lovemaking.

'You like?" she inquired, smiling, her lovely full eyebrows raised as she cupped her breasts with her delicate hands.

"Yes, I like," Vern breathed. "Come here and kiss it before you sit down. You know I like everything you do, love."

She treaded softly on the thick carpet, knelt beside his chair, unzipped his fly, let his throbbing erection flop free, and planted hungry kisses all over his bulbous dribbling cockhead.

"More?" she asked, cupping his balls. "Want to come?"

"No, that's enough for now," he replied a bit gruffly. "Let's have our dessert now." Vern's heart was founding so hard against his rib cage he was embarrassed. Somehow, he didn't like letting Ellen know how much she really got to him.

"Please?" she asked.

"No, I said that's enough for now," Vern said, his voice very authoritative now.

Actually, they both knew these little rituals were "put-ons," but they both enjoyed them and so they indulged themselves. Occasionally, he also played "slave," reversing the roles.

When they had finished dessert, Vern returned to the couch and Ellen cleared the table. When the dishes were in the dishwasher, she came and sat down in the big chair next to Vern. As was their habit, they both read then. Ellen kept her legs apart and held her book low so that Vern could cease his reading and gaze at her vagina and breasts whenever he pleased.

Ellen was reading the latest fiction best seller and Vern was reading Newsweek magazine. Every ten minutes or so he would kneel before her, lick her nipples, tongue her pussy briefly, and then return to his reading.-likewise, Ellen would put her book aside periodically, remove her reading glasses and bury her face in his lap, showering his organ and balls with hungry kisses for perhaps a minute before returning to her reading.

Since Vern spent only two or three nights a week sleeping with Ellen, they were able to maintain this almost honeymoon pace of sexual activity whenever they were together. The truth was, Vern didn't wish to spend too many nights with Ellen each week because he feared the magic of their relationship might somehow vanish. It was just too delectable a thing, and he did not wish to tamper with something he had never before shared with a female. Ellen, of course, disagreed; she would have him believe this sort of sexual bliss would continue forever, and she wanted him all the time-all to herself. Married.

It was nearly 9:00 when Vern put his magazine aside firmly, and with determination, began kissing Ellen's full lips, biting her neck, tantalizing her erect nipples, fondling her wet, swollen, and inviting vagina. Ellen put her head back on the chair top, sighing and running her fingers through his hair. She knew Vern wanted to make her come.

This had also become a ritual between them. Vern would make Ellen come at least an hour before they retired to the bedroom, and then she would suck his prick to completion, too. In this way, they were able to enjoy one oral, preliminary orgasm each before their final, all-out, thundering orgasms in the bedroom before going to sleep. Two orgasms each…par for the course…a ritual.

Vern's prick was bone-hard now and stabbing at the front of the chair as he nursed on Ellen's big tits, ran his hands all over her delectable body, kept telling her that she was the only woman he wanted, needed, craved, adored. She breathed in rapid-fire bursts, tossing her head slowly from side to side as he drew each nipple gently but firmly deep into his mouth and swirled his tongue about their mushroom texture.

"Suck them," Ellen murmured. "Oh, suck them and play with my pussy, darling. Yes…oh, yes…gobble them!"

Before he made his final descent to Ellen's cunt, Vern stood and stabbed at the big, heaving tits with his engorged shaft. He placed his throbbing meat in the valley of her breasts and squeezed them over his prick and pumped, simulating fucking.

"Oh, yes," Ellen rasped, her voice harsh with lust at this point, "fuck my boobs, do everything and anything you want. Vern…Oh, Vern!"

Vern then gave her just a little foretaste of his rod. He placed one hand on the back of her neck-just the way she liked it-and let her lick his prick as he watched. As she lapped, he reached behind himself and lightly fingered her clit to spur her on. When he was certain she was truly ready, he then made a slow, almost torturous, licking descent to her waiting, molten pussy. Usually, at this point, it was all he could handle to keep Ellen from insisting on sixty-nining. Tonight was no exception. He managed to keep her head up on the chair top, though, and at last reached her silken-textured pubic mound. Her smooth inner thighs wagged from side to side, alternately hitting the padded arms of the chair and his ears as he nuzzled, inhaling deeply, letting his tongue dart and flick at her love nub while he kept on rippling his fingers across her erect nipples above. "Ohhhhh," Ellen sighed.

Her hips thrust at his face and she pleaded, moaning, for him to gobble her, to eat her up, not to stop, never to stop, to lick her pussy and make it feel better than "anything…than anything!"

Vern took each of her cunt lips deep into his mouth, just as he had dined on her nipples, and massaged them with his lips as he practically ingested them. Then, before she went mad with need, he concentrated his efforts solely on her clitoris.

"Ahhhh!" she wailed, shivering as he set up a steady cadence, moving his head from side to side, up and down, all around and all over the expanded clit From time to time, he brought one hand down from her breasts and lightly let his finger rim her puckered anus-just for a moment-and then he would stroke her pubic mound vigorously as he sucked before returning the hand again to her eager breast.

He went on that way, working lovingly and thoroughly, until Ellen arched her back and dug her fingernails into his scalp. "Now! Now! It's coming!" she cried, and then she shivered and shuddered to completion, her orgasm a marvelous thing to behold as he gulped greedily, swallowing her juices before she became too sensitive for further stimulation.

He let her spasm out the aftermath of her orgasm, hugging her close and rubbing her back until she had returned to reality, and then he returned to his place on the couch and read for a few minutes until she was ready to mouth him.

It was perhaps ten minutes later that she knelt on the floor before him and began the preliminaries for the sucking of his cock. Just as she had done, he put his magazine aside and let his head rest on the back of the sofa as her fluttering fingers ran up and down his thighs, teased his nipples, moved closer and closer to his aching shaft that stood full and ready and gushing. She kissed his feet, his ankles, his knees and, finally, his balls.

He gazed down at her lust-crazed face at this point. She was not too much the actress, he knew. She enjoyed mouthing him as much as he enjoyed mouthing her. They had known each other for almost two years, and there was no fooling each other. In a way, true, their oral lovemaking was a "service," but there was excitation-much excitation-in the "servicing."

Her tongue tip rimmed his swollen cockhead now and she was kneading his flesh sack gently, reverently, adoringly. She took a bit more of his rod then, and he tugged at the back of her neck, pulling her so that she took the entire purplish-brown head between her full lips. Her lips caressed, nursed, tickled, teased, sucked. It was beautiful to watch her loving expertise. And then his cock was in her mouth as far as it would go. He studied the in-thrust and out-pull, the worrying of the inner folds of her lips as she worked, mewing, sighing, whining-knowing that this pleased him.

Finally, he clutched her cheeks with both handsthe signal that he was about to fire his scalding load. Her mewing rose and the bobbing tempo of her head became a frenzied accelerando. From the tips of his toes he felt his orgasm begin, surge, then explode as his spend crashed upward through his hard-on into Ellen's waiting throat His hands were in her hair as he spasmed…

She, too, hugged him until he had calmed down, and then they both made trips to the bathroom to cleanse themselves before returning to their reading. Vern didn't bother to put his suit pants back on. He just sat there, his shirt collar open, his tie uncinched, his pants draped neatly over the arm of the sofa.

"Honey," Ellen said after a while, "why don't you just move in and stay with me? Not marriage now, but just move in permanently." Her hand lay persuasively on his arm. "Huh? Won't you?"

They had discussed this perhaps a hundred times before. "Soon maybe," Vern said. "Well see. You know you mean more to me than anything, but not yet, okay? Let's not get into that tonight." He thought of Dream-Date Inc. and wished he could discuss it with Ellen. They were very close, and Vern discussed practically everything with her. He did not like deceiving her. It made him feel bad. Still, of course, he could not discuss Dream-Date with her. Absolutely not. No way.

"Maybe soon," he repeated. "There are special reasons why it isn't practical right now."

They both knew his remark said absolutely nothing, that it was just another excuse for delay.

"Is everything going all right at the office?" Ellen asked.

"Well, it is and it isn't," Vern said. "Tell me about it?"

Vern stretched, looked at his watch and yawned. "Do you want to go to bed now, honey?" Ellen asked.

He shook his head. "No, not yet," he replied. There was a long pause, and then Vern said, "I suppose what I was saying," he began, "is-is that there's an awful lot on my mind right now. Besides several new clients, which could represent an awful lot of money, we're still racking our brains over Wyatt Enterprises."

"Wyatt Enterprises," Ellen repeated. "That's the appliance manufacturer, isn't it? What are you working on for them?"

"We're evaluating their competitors' advertising, their whole merchandising approach," Vern said. "We think we know the best route for them to take, but we have quite a bit more research and conferring with them yet. We have to be thorough. We don't want to be wrong. I mean, when you're bucking G.E. and Westinghouse you better know what you're doing."

"I see," Ellen said, nodding. "What else is cooking?" She grimaced. "Uh-pardon the pun."

Vern patted her knee, smiling indulgently. "Well, there's Reardon Systems International and O. A. R."

"Yes, I know about Reardon-they make computers-but what's O.A.R.?"

"Well, despite what you might deduce from its name, OAR isn't the name of a shipping firm. O.A.R. stands for Overseas Air Routes. It's a brand new airline-or will be a brand new airline six months from now. They want lots of advice and figures on their competitors and comparative data from us before they go into operation. It could be the biggest thing we've handled thus far. I mean, big. Literally, I could retire a rich man from O.A.R. alone if all goes well."

There was another silence, and Vern knew exactly what Ellen was thinking. She was wondering what these matters-important as they were businesswisehad to do with their living together. She was a very intelligent woman, and she was right. He was stalling and they both knew it. Still, it was his excuse this time-the only one he could think of at the momentand he knew she would accept it.

"But how was your day, dear?" Vern asked, changing the subject.

Ellen was a fourth-grade schoolteacher, a very good and conscientious one. "Oh, all right. I started teaching one of the classes for the 'gifted kids' yesterday. I think it's going to be very rewarding."

Vern reached out and patted her cheek. He loved Ellen; he really did. Especially, he loved the way she did not hold a grudge. Already her voice had become pleasant; she had made her pitch for their living together on a full-time basis, failed, and already she had put the matter out of her mind. She was a once in a lifetime woman all right, he thought. "Let's go to bed, honey," he said.

She sighed, and Vern wondered if, at last, he might not have pushed her too far. "Yes, darling," she said.

"Did I tire my sweetie out too much on orgasm number one?" he grinned, winking.

"No sir," she said with enthusiasm, her features softening into love, patience. "You know I always love the cuddly part." She rippled her fingernails along his inner thigh. "Orgasm number two has always been the climax of our evening together, dear."

They both stood up. Vern was excited, anticipating their session in bed. The oral lovemaking was good, but he loved the humping-the down-to-earth, hon-est-to-God screwing even more. Well, really, it was hard to say. He liked them both.

Vern showered hastily, brushed his teeth, then lay on the king-size bed waiting while Ellen showered.

At last, she entered the dimly-lit room and walked softly toward the bed. Before she could lie down, he scooted over to the edge of the bed and, sitting, kept her standing while he palmed her smooth buttocks and hungrily devoured her breasts. She never tired of having her breasts sucked. Once he had sucked on her nipples for over an hour and she could have taken more.

So he nursed for a long time before he leaned back, pulling her onto him so that he could rub his hard-on against her love nub while he continued ministering to her nipples. After several minutes of this, they lay on their sides, his prickhead still jabbing at her clit as he tugged at her tensing ass.

"Do-do you w-want to f-fuck now?" she asked.

"In a minute," he muttered, gasping. "No rush, sugar." He knew she loved very lengthy preliminaries. He was enjoying bringing her to the peak of desire, too, so he decided to linger before actually imbedding his swollen meat into the depths of her.

He did all her favorite things. He bit the back of her neck and nibbled along her jugular vein, he fingered her navel and teased her rectum. No part of her quivering body went unattended. Her ear lobes, armpits, all of her, received tantalizing attention.

Finally, he knew she was ready-completely ready. A man would have to be both blind and deaf not to knowl She writhed, pleading with him to "put it in

… all the way in…I want to feel you inside me…

He placed a pillow beneath her buttocks, making a platform of the cunt he was about to spear with his pulsing rod, then placed himself with his elbows against her rib cage and, bending down so he could nurse on her tits as he fucked, he began easing his prick into the slick, wet-hot pie of her seething cunt. Actually, the insertion did not require much easing. Quick as a cock entry could be, his organ slid in up to the hilt, striking to the core of her with one slick stroke. It was no difficult or occult happening, because after all it had been going on for centuries-and then they were fucking.

Words through clenched teeth…a direction this way or that for more or less pressure here or there…a steady, grinding rhythm…just fucking…good fucking…fucking as good as any fucking could be-at least-better than any fucking he had ever known, anyway.

He did not know how long it lasted. He had never cared about time, nor had she. The minutes didn't matter, no. Just the feelings all along the way and at the end as they climaxed together.

Vern guessed he was just as wet as when he had exited from his shower. He was sopping wet with perspiration and so was she. They lay together, clasped, for a long time, with him still on top, inside her, and then they were apart and Ellen was asleep.

Usually, he fell instantly asleep, too, but tonight he lay there for a long time staring up at the ceiling, wondering why he was visiting Dream-Date tomorrow to seek a female "showpiece" for business reasons. In a way, it was insane. Ellen was all the woman he would ever want. Still, he was going there and he was going to select some shallow, mannequin-like woman for reasons he did not entirely understand. Or maybe he did.

For whatever reason he was visiting Dream-Date, he sincerely hoped it wouldn't adversely affect his relationship with Ellen. But deep inside of him, he knew it would. It had to.

Ellen was snoring softly now. He kissed her cheek, turned off the low-watt light, gave her mouse-brown hair a final loving pat and turned onto his side to go to sleep.

Chapter 3

The offices of Dream-Date Incorporated were located on the west end of the Sunset Strip, a ten minute drive from Vern's own office. A relatively new firm, Dream-Date occupied only two suites on the tenth floor of the high-rise building. Vern arrived promptly at 2:00 pm and sat reading a magazine in the luxurious, hyper-modem reception room. After about ten minutes, the middle-aged, conservative-looking receptionist said, "Mr. Gregory will see you now, sir." Then she led him down the short hallway to an open office door and stood gesturing at an enormous desk, behind which sat a handsome, distinguished-looking, well-dressed man of about forty.

"Mr. Vernon Shipley," the receptionist said with much pomp, "our president, Mr. Lance Gregory." Lance Gregory stood, and they shook hands. Vern noted that Gregory's smile was forced, and his gray-green eyes were without animation.

"Please call me Lance," Lance Gregory said, his voice a radio announcer purr. "Our relationship should be as relaxed as possible."

"Fine," Vern said, smiling. "I'm Vern."

Lance Gregory sat down, and Vern sat in the leather chair directly in front of the huge desk. Lance Gregory leaned back in his chair and crossed his hands behind his neck. "Soooo," he intoned, "just how might we be of service to you, Vern?"

Vern told him of his desire for a "showpiece" in connection with his business social affairs. He told Lance Gregory he wanted a beautiful female who could not only further his career by her very presence at social functions, but that he wanted a woman who knew the right things to say and not to say-a woman who could make everything from "small talk" with clients' wives, when necessary, to deeper discussions when it seemed appropriate. He was embarrassed at first, but Gregory's nodding reassured him as he spoke, and he felt certain he had explained his needs fully by the time he finished.

"I guess I'm the original chauvinist," Vern said, finally, "but that's the sort of woman I'm looking for. Is such a woman available?"

Lance Gregory raised his steel-gray eyebrows, grinning almost evilly. "Chauvinist?" he said. "Vern, we're all chauvinists. Yes, you've come to the right place. What you are seeking is precisely what Dream-Date is all about. Your requirements, however, will require our very top lady." Lance's sapphire pinkie ring and lacquered nails twinkled. He paused, and Vern decided to get the essentials out of the way immediately.

"How much?" Vern asked.

"Our fees, of course, vary from job to job, Vern. Tell you what. Why don't I let you interview the lady I have in mind for you?" He winked, but still his eyes remained expressionless. "After our preliminary discussion-brief as it was on the phone-I took the liberty of arranging for Miss Maria Reese to be present today."

Vern was impressed with the efficiency of Dream-Date. He smelled an exorbitant fee in the wind, however. Still, he had proceeded this far…

"Let me introduce Miss Reese to you, Vern. See if you think she'll fill your needs. Discuss anything you wish with her. I don't think you'll be disappointed."

"Very well," Vern said.

Smiling his non-smile, Lance Gregory pressed a button on the panel on his desk. Pretty slick, Vern thought, and almost immediately one of the most striking females he had ever seen entered the room. Maria Reese literally took his breath away. Her make-up, attire, everything, were conservative, but she oozed class and sex-appeal. She was green-eyed, with shiny raven-black hair, and as she stood there, holding her hand out after Gregory's introduction, Vern found himself kissing her hand. Instinctively, he had done her bidding! There was no trace of "the street" in her melodious, well-modulated voice, and none of the phony "sorority house drawl" either. Her smile was sincere, revealing perfect white teeth, and she wore a lightweight, white knit-suit with blue trim. She held white gloves, too.

When Lance Gregory diplomatically left the office, Maria sat on the denim-and-leather sofa, crossing her legs and revealing an expanse of inner thigh that took Vern's breath away. He feasted his eyes on her ample bosom, the curve of her hips for perhaps too long before he cleared his throat and said, "Well, uh, you seem to be pretty much what I had in mind, Miss Reese. Do you mind if-"

"Please call me Maria," Maria Reese said.

"All right, Maria," Vern said. "Do you mind if we just discuss assorted subjects at random? I have a special reason for this."

"Not at all," Maria said. "Fire away, sir."

The girl was truly amazing. First, Vern led her through discussions of music, literature, painting. Then he queried her on her political knowledge and views. She was incredible! Not only did she know far more than he on these topics, but she remained feminine, diplomatic and inoffensive while, at the same time, avoiding fence-straddling.

Finally, blushing, he said, "You seem to be just what I had in mind, Maria. You see, I need someone who will bolster my image, appeal to both my male clients and their watchful wives. Yes, I think you're fine in every respect."

"In every respect?" she inquired, smiling. "How do you know? Won't you please come and sit here beside me for a moment, Mr. Shipley?"

He obeyed, and the instant he took his place beside her, she put her arm up on the back of the sofa and blew into his ear. "Now that we've established that I'm a lady-an intelligent and well-informed lady-I feel it pertinent to inform you that Dream-Date takes into account all of a client's needs." She laughed. "Oh, don't worry, Vern. I promise not to rape you or your male clients. I merely want you to know that I am aware that you may require a variety of services."

Her hand was on his knee. Vern swallowed.

"You see, I am trained to know how, when, and where to use my various abilities. With you, or with your male clients. Discreetly."

Vern felt his prick rising. He began to squirm in response to Maria's roving hand. Good God! thought. Where has Dream-Date been all my life? "I understand," he said. "Yes, that might be necessary in some Instances."

"You're probably wondering why an operation of the high calibre of Dream Date is leveling with you this way," she said directly.

"As a matter-of-fact, you read my mind," Vern said. "Yes."

"You've been checked out very thoroughly, Vernon Shipley. You run a most successful and profitable business. You need Dream-Date. No, you are not a man to play games with. You are an extremely intelligent, capable and aggressive man. Most important, you are not the police. Therefore, I am at liberty to level with you. I am completely at your disposal, and you may trust me absolutely."

Maria Reese rose then, crossed the room and straightened an oil painting on the wood-paneled wall. Then she returned, sat down, and asked him if he would care to engage her services.

"Definitely," he said. "That is, unless the fee is out of the question."

"The fee will be high," she said. "You may count on that. But then you have much to gain." Once again, her hand was on his leg. "I am not a prostitute, Vern," she said. "At least not an ordinary one. I mean, you have much to gain businesswise and-and well, there are certain fringe benefits, too." Her hand actually fondled his prick now. "Do you understand?"

"How could I not understand?" Vern said, reaching out, fondling her breast and kissing her full, moist, and beckoning lips.

Vern's heart sounded like a bass drum to his own ears. "I-I wish there was some way of-"

She shushed his lips with her index finger. "Say no more, Vern. This is extraordinary, but under the circumstances I feel you are entitled to a sampling of the-the entire package. Wine-tasting establishments are flourishing these days. I see no reason why there cannot be a little client-tasting." She stared sensually into his eyes. "What will it be, Vern?" Her hand groped more firmly at his bone-hard erection now.

Vern glanced nervously at the door.

"You needn't worry about our being disturbed. I am given complete latitude in these matters, Vern. Mr. Gregory or anyone, for that matter, will not disturb Maria Reese's interview with a potential client This is a very high-level interview. I can assure you of that. Furthermore, whether you believe me or not, I insist on informing you that I've never engaged in this sort of conduct with a client before today."

"Please, that isn't n-necessary," Vern said, nearly insane from her stimulation of his prick.

She shrugged, rolling her eyes. "Very well," she purred. "Believe whatever you like. I'm telling you the truth, though."

"All right," Vern gasped. "I-I believe you."

Maria's very smooth and loving hand then unzipped his fly and removed his prick. Her slim fingers were cool against the heat of his throbbing meat.

'What would you like to do, Vern? Anything? Free of charge and without obligation? Just tell me what you want. A man of your character and position is entitled to one sampling." She squeezed his rigid organ in her hand. "You're a very virile man, so what will it be?"

Vern was trembling all over. This incredibly beautiful female beside him had him wanting to do everything! He was literally mad with desire. He managed to stammer: "You mentioned wine-tasting-w-well, I want to t-taste y-you. Yes, I want to-to lick between your legs."

Vern was surprised at his own choice of words. His request had just come tumbling out

"Very well," Maria said, breathing a bit harder herself, Vern noticed. "How do you want me? Shall I strip my clothes off? Do you want to undress me? Or perhaps you'd just like me to stand with one leg up on the arm of the sofa, so you can kneel down and just-well, just lap my pussy in that position."

Vern swallowed, his trembling actually violent now. "You know everything, don't you?" he said. "You knew what I wanted to do to you before I even thought of it myself. You know everything, everything."

Already Vern was sliding off the sofa to his knees. Maria took his face tenderly in her hands and placed her left leg up on the sofa arm. "Well, I-I don't know everything, but I do know a lot. I know what I represent in many men's minds, and I did guess that you might like what you're about to do. I like it too, Vern…I love it…go ahead and lick…yes, lick…I think you'll find it's the tastiest pussy you've ever eaten…go ahead, Vern…now!"

Vern unbuttoned Maria's skirt, made her take her leg down while he removed skirt, panties, garter belt, then stared in awe at the curved perfection of her lower torso. He was tempted to tell her to bare her breasts, but he restrained himself. He didn't want to be too pushy. He didn't want to do anything that might possibly "put her off," even though he suspected she would permit anything, just as she had promised. Still, he didn't want to be a pig. No. Already he held her firm, rounded ass in his hands as he inhaled the fragrance of her pubic mound. Her high heels were still on, and for some reason, he loved the idea of "eating" her while she was still dressed.

Yes, this was a first all right-in many ways. First, he had never touched such a beautiful woman; second, he had never licked a woman's vagina while she stood, partially dressed. He lifted her right leg beneath the knee now so that it once again rested up on the sofa arm. And then he began tonguing-tasting-gulping gently at her crotch from her clitoris to her tailbone.

Her hands on his cheeks tightened and she sighed, moaned, whimpered. "Yes, Vern. Oh, you know just how to-to gobble a girl. Oh, God! Eat my cunt, Vern! Eat it! You love it, don't you? And it feels heavenly!"

The taste of Maria's vagina was like no crotch he had ever gobbled. Was it his imagination, he wondered, or did it actually have a sweet flavor? And gamy, too. like venison. Angel-vension-slick-gushing-sweet! Groaning, he devoured her large clitoris as she continued to spur him on with verbal directions and those cool, soft hands on his cheeks. "Lick it, Vern! Lap it good, Vern! Suck!"

After several minutes of this, Vern could not stand the limitation of the position. He spread her out on the sofa, shoved her knees up against her breasts and gorged himself on the juicy cunt with increased maniacal frenzy.Her voice rose shrilly and her nails dug into his ears, neck, scalp as her pleasure mounted. If it was an act, he didn't care!

She was screaming now, totally unaware that she was in an office with a secretary, just down the hall, and a boss nearby, too. Finally, she insisted on reversing herself on the couch and lying on her side. Instinctively, he knew what she wanted. He lay on the couch on his side also, and the sixty-nining began. She made hungry, gulping, desperate nursing sounds as she sucked his pulsing shaft.

And then again as if by ESP, Vern ceased his munching on her cunt and tugged her ass to the edge of the sofa. It was time for the fucking. What had begun as wine-tasting-client-tasting-was now a Roman feast, an orgy, a fuck-fest!

As he slid his throbbing member into the surprisingly snug vagina, he felt his eyeballs press against the top of his head from the intense heat of this woman. He let his rod loiter within the gushing inferno, savoring its heat and texture for a moment, and then he made fists of his hands and placed them beneath Maria's ass.

"Yes, fuck me, Vern!" she cried. "You're doing it all just right. I-I couldn't ask for more. Ohhhh, yesss, give me that big, hard prick! Fuck mel"

Her head was waving from side to side as she pleaded for him to stick her, drive his gristle hunk into the depths of her twat. Vern's pants were about his ankles, his feet on the floor. He was supporting himself with both hands on the cushions of the sofa, his feet (shoes still on) on the floor and, of course, his pelvis bone pressed tightly to Maria's.

His leverage was excellent, and he put it to good use. He began gently, then pumped almost savagely in response to her command to "come down hard!"

He had never fucked a woman who wanted him to "come down hard." She kept begging him to come down "harder, harder, harder," and he complied, driving his hard-on furiously, piston-like, into the depths of her. She wanted no gentleness; she wanted to be battered by his pelvis, rammed until "I can feel my bone crack! Oh, please-harder…give me all you've got!"

To his amazement, Vern liked fucking hard this way. He had always considered himself a gentle lover, and so it had taken a minute to adjust, but now he was reveling in the force of his hip thrusts. He drove savagely, while Maria muttered four-letter words through clenched teeth in his ear and pummeled his humping buttocks with her heels. Finally, she announced screamingly that she was coming. He held back until he was certain she had reached the heights, then sped up his cock jabs until he orgasmed, too, just seconds after Maria's climax.

Panting, Vern dropped his knees to the floor, his hard-on slipping from the hot sheath of Maria's pussy. He wanted to let his member linger within her contracting hole, but he was exhausted from the all-out fucking and had to rest. He lay his cheek on her spasming stomach and breathed deeply, trying to regain his breath.

Finally, when they were both breathing more normally, Maria kissed him affectionately, said their lovemaking had been "heavenly" and went into Lance Gregory's private washroom. When she returned, Vern used the restroom, too.

They both dressed then and sat, satiated and smiling, there on the sofa. "We were in quite a rush," Maria said. "This sofa folds into a bed, you know. We could have pulled the thing out for greater comfort."

"Who was thinking of comfort?" Vern asked, grinning and patting her cheek. He frowned. "I thought you said you didn't usually make love to Dream-Date's new prospects?"

"I never did before," she said, "but I do know this sofa folds into a bed. Mr. Gregory informed all the Dream-Date girls of this fact. He gives the girls much latitude in handling their prospects, but thus far I simply haven't used the sofa for this sort of thing. Actually, I haven't had to."

Vern scanned her incredibly voluptuous body. The hills and valleys of flesh were perfection. "Yes, I can well imagine," he said. "But I don't understand…why me?"

She shrugged. "Who knows? Can you explain why it is some women turn you on more than others? Probably not. Well, neither can I. You see, I like intelligent men-sensitive men-men who have accomplished something and are successful. Not only do you qualify in this respect, but you're handsome, sexy, and you have other attributes I require." She reached out and gave his organ, limp now inside his pants, a squeeze. "You gotta pretty neat one there, Mr. Vernon Shipley."

"Thank you, ma'am. You're nicely equipped also, but then of course you know that. Guys have probably been worshipping you since-since puberty." She stared into his eyes boldly. "That's true," she said.

Vern suddenly sat erect, forcing himself to be serious, business-like. "I'll level with you, Maria," Vern said. "You're even more than I'd hoped for. As far as I'm concerned it's a sale. Til be needing you beginning this coming Friday night. Are you availableF'

"I rather suspect I'll make myself available," she said. "I am working with two other clients right now-nothing physical you understand-but I can wrap up my contracts with them by Friday. Shall I call Mr. Gregory and let him finalize the arrangements?"

"Yes," Vern said, nodding. "But I'll want you exclusively for myself. That's just the way I am. I-I wish there wasn't this business of the pimp to spoil an otherwise perfect arrangement."

Vern knew he was being unreasonable. The "pimp" remark had been unnecessary, to say the least, but he had not been able to suppress the word. To his surprise, Maria's expression hardened.

"Mr. Lance Gregory is not a pimp, Vern. Our relationship is going to be excellent-we both know that-but please make no more references to him in that manner, all right? I mean, he is my employer and the president of Dream-Date."

"Sorry," Vern said. "It just slipped out. Yes, go ahead and tell him to come in."

Maria went to Lance Gregory's desk and pushed the same button Lance had pushed when summoning Maria earlier. As they waited for Lance's entrance, Vern went over to the oil painting on the wall that Maria had straightened just before their lovemaking. It was a huge painting of a Spanish nobleman, a portrait. The man was dressed in a maroon-velvet coat with lace ruffles at the sleeve. Scrutinizing it closely, Vern saw that one of the eyes seemed different from the other.

Maria was staring at the door, waiting for Lance Gregory's entrance, so he ran his finger over the right eye of the portrait. It was a peep hole! He was certain of it! So Lance Gregory was a Peeping Tom, he thought. It angered him that his session with lovely Maria had been observed-probably by Gregory. He hoped this wasn't so, but the evidence seemed pretty overwhelming. Well, once he began seeing Maria alone there would be no more of that, he thought. Most important, he didn't like the idea that Maria had possibly been a part of the scheme. Well, she is his employee, he rationalized.

Lance Gregory knocked lightly on the door, then waited a moment and entered.

'Well, have you completed your interview?" he asked Vern.

"Yes," Vern replied. "I think Miss Reese will do very nicely."

"Good," Lance said. "Would you mind stepping out, dear, while Mr. Shipley and I discuss the arrangements?"

"Not at all," Maria said, blowing a kiss at Vern that went unseen by Lance Gregory. The scent of her cologne lingered after her exit.

Lance Gregory sat behind his desk and listened while Vern told him when and where and how often he would be requiring the services of Maria Reese. When he had finished, Gregory told him a $2500 deposit would be required and that her nightly fee would be $200. There would be a clause in the contract, too, that would permit Dream-Date to bill Vern for "extraordinary services."

"That much, eh?" Vern said. Actually, he had prepared himself for just about that amount. "And the $2500," he said. "Is it refundable, or what?"

"Most definitely," Gregory said. "Once Maria's services have been completed, the total depositless outstanding fees, of course-is totally refundable," he paused. "I cannot provide you with references unfortunately, Vern, because you understand that our relationship is entirely confidential. like a lawyer or a doctor, we do not reveal information to anyone, under any circumstances regarding our clients-in our case, not even their names." He chuckled, but again there was no animation to either the sound or the facial movement. "You understand that many of our clients are very important people in this city-most of them married."

"Yes, I understand," Vern said, taking his checkbook from his coat pocket. He did not like Lance Gregory, but he sure as hell liked Maria Reese.

"Twenty-five hundred," he said, beginning to write. "And how shall I make it out? To Dream-Date Incorporated?"

"No, to Lance Gregory will be fine," Gregory said.

"Yes, or course," Vern said, making no effort to hide his displeasure at making the check a personal one.

Lance Gregory pushed the button on his desk and told his secretary to draw up the necessary contract between Vernon Shipley and Dream-Date. Vern glanced at his watch. "I really must be returning to my office," he said. "Will the contract take long?"

Gregory stood up. "You run along then, Vern. We'll mail the contract to you. No problem. Just call us and tell us when and where you'll want Maria. She's yours exclusively-for as long as you'll require her services."

As Vern left the offices of Dream-Date Incorporated, he wondered how Lance Gregory knew he wanted Maria on an "exclusive" basis. He had not mentioned a desire to engage her "exclusively," except when he and Maria had been alone.

So Lance Gregory had been spying-listening and watching him and Maria Reese make love in the office. What did it mean? Was Lance Gregory merely a Peeping Tom, or did he have other reasons for eavesdropping on Dream-Date's clients? Blackmail, for instance. Well, at least I'm not married, Vern thought. He couldn't attack me on that level.

Vern retrieved his Continental from the subterranean garage and headed back for his office in Beverly Hills.

Chapter 4

Lance was still sitting behind his desk, his brow furrowed in intense concentration, when Maria Reese entered and half sat, half reclined on the long sofa against the wall. Lance did not look at her, but sat with his palms together and stared scowling at the ceiling.

"Well, what do you think?" Maria asked, her free leg swinging suggestively. "Think he'll sign?" 'Think he'll sign?" Lance repeated, chuckling. "After that screwing you gave him any man with the means would sign. Yes, he signed. What I'm concerned about is the two of you becoming too lovey-dovey. Also, I'm trying to determine just where the man is vulnerable. It's difficult, you see, blackmailing a man who leads a fairly moral fife. Particularly when he isn't married. I mean, he doesn't have anything to lose community-property wise if he's single, does he? I'd say we'll have to attack him on the business level, but I'm not sure just how to go about it." Lance Gregory sighed and ran his hands through his dark, long, "styled" hair. "Well, I'll think of something as we go along."

"Yes, I'm sure you will," Maria said. "You-you're really determined to stick Vern Shipley, too?" Lance shook his head, raised his eyebrows in amazement. "My darling, the idea is to stick them all. That's where the real money comes from. You don't think this firm could survive on just the fees we make legitimately, do you? Hell, after I pay all you high-class whores the profit is nearly all eaten up!"

Maria pursed her lips. "Tsk tsk," she said, making kissing sounds. "Poor baby." Maria stood then and paced the spacious office. "What did you mean by your lovey-dovey' remark," she said finally.

"Just what I said," Lance said. "My God! You certainly put your all into fucking and sucking him."

"He sucked me, too," Maria said, sarcastically correcting her boss.

"Yes, he certainly did," Lance agreed unhappily. "Disgusting. Absolutely disgusting."

"That's what you get when you insist on spying on people making love," Maria said. "It's supposed to be a rather personal affair."

"Oh, listen to Miss Fancy Ass," Lance said. "Before I taught you how to be a lady-how to read practically-you were making the orgy scene for money. Now you give me that 'sex should be a personal affair' crap. Don't make me laugh."

Maria whirled, then calmed herself down. "You have helped me tremendously, Lance, and I'll always be indebted to you for that. I'm only saying that when you spy on people making love, you deserve whatever you get."

Lance put up both hands in front of his chest. "All right," he said. "All right. Let's not fight about it. I was a bit jealous, and I admit it. I'm sorry."

Maria smiled her Kim Novak smile. "Did you nearly get your eye put out when he went over and touched the painting? I didn't believe it when he started poking at that picture. He's pretty perceptive.

You have to admit that. I mean, to locate the only peephole in the place takes a good instinct for such things."

Lance nodded. "Yeah, he scared the shit out of me there for a second. Perceptive? Not particularly. He was just lucky. I don't think he really knew there was a hole in the eye of that painting."

Maria shrugged. "Well, he signed," she said. "That's the main thing. Are you trying to tell me you don't want me to make love to Vernon Shipley or something?"

"No, I didn't say that," Lance said. "I simply meant I didn't want you to get involved. It-it's bad business policy."

Again Maria smiled her special smile, this time with a hint of humor washing over her lovely features. "Why would you think we'd get involved?"

"Hah, just take my word for it," Lance said. "There are special vibes between you two. I could feel it the instant you met. Admit it. It's true, isn't it?"

Maria's face remained expressionless now. "Oh, I don't know," she said noncommittally.

"Come here," Lance Gregory said, swiveling his chair to the side. "I said to come here!"

Frowning, Maria obediently walked slowly to the spot at which Lance Gregory was pointing. She stood behind his desk, staring down at him then.

"Get down on your knees," Lance commanded.

"Lance, please. I-I'm awfully tired right now and-"

"Goddamit, get down on your knees, slut! I made you what you are and don't you ever forget it!"

Dutifully, Maria knelt and let Lance take her cheeks in his hands. He jerked her neck so that she was staring up into those steely, gray eyes. "Listen and listen good, sugar," Lance said. "You're mine to do with as I please-anytime I please. You're going to give daddy a nice little blow job, and you're going to put your heart and soul in it-just the way you did for that Vernon Shipley ass hole."

Lance unzipped his fly, reached inside his pants and withdrew his flaccid penis. He waved it back and forth then, carefully watching Maria's expression. Maria swallowed. Her cheeks were tired from nursing on Vern Shipley's prick. She felt spent sexually. She would give anything not to meet her boss's demands, but he did seem determined. He had such an enormous prick and sometimes he took forever, it seemed, to come.

"M-My lips are awfully tired, Lance," she whined. "Couldn't we do this tomorrow?" She ran her hand up the insides of his legs. "I mean, you know I like to do that to you, dear, but I am terribly, terribly tired."

"Bullshit!" Lance spat. "You'll suck my dick same as always. For as long as I like and exactly the way I say. Understand?" He gave her hair a tug. She winced, mewing, "All right, dear. I just thought you might prefer it tomorrow when I could give you my very best."

"You'll give me your best right now!" Lance snarled. "Now start kissing it, baby. Nice and slow so daddy can watch it grow and then shove it way back in that beautiful throat of yours!"

Strangely, as always, Maria found herself being excited sexually by her boss's haughty, inconsiderate manner. She loved to suck a hard prick-she truly did-and Lance did love having his rod sucked. That appealed to her, too. That and the fact that he kept referring to himself as "daddy."

"All right," she said, kissing his balls. "You-you know I will, dear. I always have, haven't I? You know I love to-to give you what you like."

Her mouth was nibbling at his foreskin now and the huge flesh instrument was beginning to stir. Soon, she knew, it would reach its incredible full length and then she would take the hard-on back far into her throat. She would not be able to help herself. Already all thought of fatigue had left her and there was only the sight of the beautiful male organ lengthening, widening, growing, bulging, responding to her noisy kisses and gentle manipulation.

Lance's hand was against the back of her head now, and his other hand was palming her breasts. "Wag it back and forth, baby," he said. "Let me watch you play with a real man's prick. You like it, don't you? Shit, of course you do. Hell, you go absolutely out of your gourd when you get a big dong in your mitts."

Lance sat there, slouched, his legs apart. He raised her momentarily, dropped his pants, pulling them hastily off over his shoes, and then he took off his shorts.

"There it is, sugar," he said. "Now start kissing and licking everywhere…everywhere…everywhere…"

The huge member was nearly fully erect now under Maria's expert manipulation. She let her kisses wander very low-to the cheeks of his ass-and then she even slid her fingers up under his shirt to stimulate his nipples as she continued cooing, kissing, tonguing very lightly. She let her tongue dart all up and down the pulsing length of the huge cock, stopping only now and then to admire the monster she had created.

Lance knew she had gone "bananas" over his cock now-just the way she always did. He loved the idea that he had found this diamond-in-the-rough nearly a year ago and trained her to his special needs. Happily, proudly, he now stared in fascination as gorgeous Maria dined at his crotch. He ran his fingers through her raven-black hair now as she brought his erection to its full glory. It stood tall and eager and he loved the way she adored it; in fact, seemed to be worshipping at the thing as though it were some kind of god. Yes, she was really getting into the spirit of the act now.

"Good girl," he muttered gutturally. "Oh, yeah. That's it…yes, suck daddy's prick good. You love to suck your daddy's cock, don't you?"

Maria had grown bleary-eyed with lust as she performed this mission for which she had been so carefully tutored. "Yesssss," she replied, her eyelids fluttering. "Ohhh, yesss, daddy, you know I adore sucking you."

She was rimming just below the huge dribbling head of the hard-on with her tongue tip now. Lance lowered her head to its base and told her to bite gently at the stalk of the thing for a while. She obeyed, of course, just as he knew she would.

"Tell about how much you like to suck your daddy's prick?" he commanded. "Go on and tell me all about it."

Maria swallowed, ingesting the semen and lubricant which had run to the stalk of the giant hard-on. "I love to kiss it," she intoned. "I love to-to eat it all up…every delicious inch of your great big cock," she said. "I-I love to suck you while you watch me and tell me what to do and how to do it. Oh, Lance! This drives me crazy! You know just the sight of your great big dong makes my stomach turn flip-flops!"

Lance gave her hair a pull. "Cut the gab and suck, baby! You can't mouth the dick and talk, too. Talk a little, but don't neglect the meat."

Maria apologized then and took the head of Lance's prick into her mouth. She loved the smooth texture of a prick against the roof of her mouth; she loved to run her tongue about its immensity while she drew gently on the top of the cock knob; she loved to feel the big hunk of gristle filling her mouth and stabbing even at the back of her throat. She loved it all; every bit of sucking a dick she loved. Reluctantly, she admitted she was born to suck.

She took the prick out of her mouth for a second and gazed up at the face of her master. "I-I want to make you happy," she moaned, loving her role of slave. "Anything, Lance. I'll do anything. You know I'll do anything at this point for you. All you have to do is ask."

Lance grabbed the base of his erection with his fist and shoved it hard and fast at the rear of Maria's throat. She gagged, and this made him happy. He withdrew his prick a bit, then rammed it to the back of Maria's throat again. Each time he did this, Maria gagged, but she did not try to pull away.

"That makes daddy happy," he said viciously. "Not always, of course, but at this instant that is what gives daddy pleasure. Choke on it, sugar. Yeah, go ahead and choke on the great big dick. You love it so much, so gag and choke, you prissy little bitch!"

Lance gave Maria several more mighty hip thrusts, each time driving his engorged meat as far to the rear of her throat as it would go. He knew she liked this action, despite her retching. The truth was, Maria loved everything he did to her with his prick. Anything and everything. Hard-ons-his in particular-made her absolutely psychotic. He'd given up trying to analyze the why of this truth. It simply was so, and that was good enough for him. "Yeah, baby. Go. Do your thing," he said.

He ceased his spearing to the back of her throat altogether now and watched as she frantically removed her top, then her bra so she could cradle his rigid shaft in her boobs, massage his hard-on against her big nipples as she went on stabbing at the head of it with her amazingly long tongue. Yes, they were quite a pair all right-him with his long prick and Maria with that incredibly lengthy tongue. "Lap it, sugar," he muttered, leering, eyes narrowed.

He watched her shudder and spasm as she stared at the sight of his hard-on against her erect nipples. She took each nipple and offered it to the slit in the end of his dick, opening the tiny aperture with her forefinger and thumb so that she could alternately insert each nipple into his cockhead. Her eyes were a frantic, wild thing to behold. There was madness in them at times like these. He loved the madness in her eyes, for they drove him to the brink of madness, too. Most of all, he liked to think that the sucking of Vern Shipley's prick had been only a charade while the sucking of his prick was the real thing. He decided to test this.

"That other ass-hole meant nothing, right?" he asked.

Maria's eyes were riveted to the bone-hard prong against her tits. "Right," she said. "Nothing. He meant nothing."

"It's my rod you really yearn to lick, isn't it?"

"Yes, yes, only yours. I-I love to nurse on your big prick only. Only yours, Lance. Oh, Lance, make me do something awful! I'll do anything for you!"

"I know that, sugar. Daddy knows that all too well.

I'm gonna fuck you in the rear end soon, but right now just keep on sucking."

"Make me do it, Lance!" Maria cried. "Force me to suck your great big dick!"

Lance complied. He gruffly took Maria's lovely hair in his hands and pulled hard so that, once again, his prick was imbedded in her mouth as far as it would go. Then he slowly raised his hips from his desk chair, driving his prick steadily in and out of the mewing mouth, in and out, in and out, savoring the saliva-slick hard-on that was his own badge of manhood as it probed and struck far and deep.

Maria was gurgling-saliva or semen dripping from the corners of her mouth, he wasn't sure which-as he fucked her beautiful mouth.

"Get the balls!" he commanded suddenly, and forced her head lower.

She willingly took each of his furry globes, slowly and appreciatively, deep into her mouth, and drew gently on them, twirling her tongue tantalizingly, bathing and cleansing the huge testicles between her tongue and the roof of her mouth. Lance leaned far back in the chair, his hands still in her hair, and let his eyeballs roll as he savored the wet warmth against his balls.

"Oh, yeah, baby," he sighed. "Nurse on 'em good."

After several minutes of this ball-sucking, Lance sat up fairly erect in his chair, removed his scrotum from her starving mouth and, once again, inserted his hard-on between Maria's lips. He then took the shiny strands of Maria's shiny, black hair and encircled his engorged shaft with them.

"Okay, Maria," he muttered. "Now chew very gently with your teeth. But gently. Chew too hard, hurt your daddy, and daddy is gonna be very angry."

Maria sucked, knowing Lance stared lustfully down at her mouthing efforts, admired the expertise of her full lips, loved the lapping sounds she made. She wondered if he would want to come in her mouth. About half the time he liked to ejaculate and feel the muscles in her throat as she swallowed his spend. The rest of the time, though, he did not come into her mouth but instead fucked her pussy or her ass. He had said something about screwing her in the rear, and she hoped he would. Vern Shipley had already given her mouth and pussy a workout. She let his big hard-on slide steadily in and out of her mouth as she nibbled ever so lightly with her teeth.

She had been sucking and nibbling this way for perhaps five minutes, when Lance suddenly withdrew his cock, told her to strip all her clothing off and stand spread-eagle with her back to him at the sofa. So he is going to fuck me in the ass, she thought. Good. His decision to have her anally pleased her for two reasons. Not only was her rear the only aperture that had, so far today, gone unpenetrated, but getting it in her rear door made her feel more as if she were being "used," and sometimes she liked to feel that she was being used. Yes, it seemed to heighten the slave/master relationship (or whatever it was) that existed between her and Lance.

Willingly, Maria hastily stood, stripped off all her clothing, then went over to the sofa and leaned forward, supporting herself with both hands up on the top of the sofa. Her legs were spread far apart, her perfectly rounded ass beckoning and even quivering slightly as Lance approached.

She felt his rough hands fondling the globes of her buttocks, then reaching around and crudely tweaking her erect? nipples. As he groped at her breasts, she felt his stiff rod begin poking at her ass. Her rectum seemed to go limp then in anticipation. Yes, whenever she knew she was about to take in the immensity of Lance's erect penis, her anal cavity seemed to prepare itself.

She wanted his cock up there now-wanted it badly-wanted it more than anything. "Give it to me, Lance," she found herself pleading. "Oh, stick it in and-and fill me up."

One of the things she liked best about getting screwed in her bottom by Lance was the fact that he always brought her to orgasm by massaging her clit as he pumped his flesh wedge into her. Some of the most intense orgasms she had ever experienced had come from Lance in this manner. For some inexplicable reason, the clit massage combined with the anal fucking drove her nearly mad with tingling sensations that rippled throughout her entire body.

His big cockhead was pressing at the small, puckered hole now, forcing an entry ever so slowly as he began rubbing her love nub in front with his middle finger.

"like it, baby?" he asked, grunting, breathless.

"You-you know I do," she stammered, reaching back and parting her buttocks with her hand. "Yes, just rub my pussy top that way while you ease thatthat big prick inside me. Ohhhh, yesss…

"Didn't think you wanted anymore sex today, did you?" Lance asked. "Well, you were wrong, huh? Now you're loving it, right? Just remember that, sugar. Whenever you think you don't need me, just remember what daddy can do. Understand?" He reached up and pulled her hair as he bit her neck hard. "Well?"

"Ouch…oh, yes," she replied. "I-I'll never forget, Lance. Nooo…never!"

Lance's huge prick was filling her rear end now, nearly bursting her rectum, it seemed, but it hurt good. She loved the way it intruded, ramming, spearing, digging way up into the very innards of her. God, she wondered, wasn't it in yet? It felt like it was. But he was still shoving, trying to insert the remainder of his hot prober, his immense battering ram. And then, finally, she felt his pelvis against the cheeks of her buttocks. It was all the way in at last! One of his hands rambled from one of her hanging breasts to the other while his other hand continued that heavenly clit massage-the clit massage that felt better than anything…than anything…

"Ohhhh, Jesussss!" she cried through clenched teeth. She let go of her ass now and clasped the base of his rod hard in her hand. "Drive it in me!" she commanded. "Fuck my ass hard, Lance! Oh, fuck it good, baby!"

"Tell me you're going out of your head, sugar! I want to hear you say it," Lance said, driving his rod in a steady tempo now into the depths of her.

"Y-You're killing me, but it-it feels soooo gooood," Maria responded. "My knees are wobbly…heaven…it's heaven. I love you to cram it in me! Oh, yessss…you're driving me out of my head."

Now Lance began ass-fucking her with a fury. Maria had to hold on hard to the sofa top to keep from being knocked against the wall. Lance's hip thrusts were slamming against her buttocks furiously, viciously. As he drove savagely that way, Lance also rotated his hips so that he could make contact with everything she owned internally, it seemed.

"Agh…ouu…ahh…ergh," he grunted as he speared her in a frenzy.

He held her buttocks with his hands now, for leverage, and clutched and gouged them viciously to suit his needs.

"I-I-I'm nearly there," Maria whimpered. "Ohhh, Goddd! I'm almost comming, Lance. Don't stop, honey. Oh, don't stop! Never stop!"

And then, sadistically, Lance stopped. "Just cool off for a second, sugar," he said. "Daddy doesn't feel like blowing his wad just now. No sir, sugar. Daddy wants to make this last."

Maria began shuddering all over. "Please?" she begged. "Please give it to me and make me tingle all over, Lance? Oh, Pul-eeeze!"

Lance still lightly teased her clit, but he had entirely ceased his hip thrusts. "In a moment," he said, almost laughing. "All in good time."

She backed into his prick, shoving and trying to simulate the stabs that had stopped. "Ohhhhh," she wailed, her eyelids fluttering. "You bastard! Don't do this to me! You know I need it! Give me what I need!"

He laughed very loud now, mocking, enjoying her shuddering and pleas for fulfillment. He held her ass firmly with his right hand so that she could not ride his pole.

"You're just like a junkie, sugar," he said. "Right? You gotta have this big cock like a junkie needs his fix, don't you?"

"Yessss," Maria admitted, hating her boss at that moment for making her admit her craving need. "Damn you! Fuck me! Fuck me! Fuck my ass or-or I'll never let you do-"

Once again, Lance grabbed her hair and gave a hard pull. Her head was pulled so far back now that she stared up at the ceiling, her boss's hot breath in her ear. It was incredible the way this man could bring her from sexual indifference to babbling, insane need.

"I got you plugged good, sugar. I got a handful of your hair, and my cock's up your ass as far as it will go, and goddam it you'll do whatever I please. Do you understand?" He gave her hair a very hard tug now and she grimaced with pain. "Well, do you understand?"

"Yes," she managed to chirp, her face contorted in pain. "Please don't hurt me, Lance."

"I asked you a question," he grunted. "Do you understand?"

"Yes, I-I understand," she said. Tears began running down her cheeks now. This was the part that Lance liked best of all. He loved to make her cry-hear her whimpering as he drove his enormous prong very hard into her ass. Oddly, she had learned to like this sadomasochistic ritual, too.

"Good," Lance said. "Now get ready for the finish."

He released his hold on her hair momentarily then and shoved her forward angrily, so that her forehead was against the fabric of the sofa. She knew she would remain in that position, staring down at the cushions, until he had climaxed. That was his modus operandi-to hold her in that position, her hair in his hand, as he rubbed her clit and pumped his prick as hard as possible into her ass until they both came. He would hurt her a great deal, but the pleasure would become incredible after a while. She knew that for sure, which is why she endured the painful preliminaries. Yes, it would all be worth it in the end. In a way, she hated herself for letting this egomaniac use her in this fashion, but-but she could not help herself. He had conditioned her to orgasming mightily in this manner. He was a devil who took her to the sexual heights, a fiend who used her body for his own pleasure and, somehow-she knew not how-provided her with indescribable sexual satisfaction.

Behind her now, Lance Gregory had become a madman. His hips ground and drove and slammed at her buttocks like a jackhammer. Obscenities flowed coarsely from his lips and his finger against her clit rubbed harder, harder.

Once again, she felt her orgasm approaching. From a long way off, she felt almost mystical waves begin to form and then ripple through her body. From the tips of her toes to her scalp the tingling sensations fluttered, cascaded, crashed crazily. She held onto the sofa hard to remain on her feet. But it was no use. She fell forward, nearly unconscious from the pleasure she was experiencing.

Lance did not miss a stroke. He held her firmly against him and continued fucking her even though she had collapsed.

"Ahhhhhhh!" she screamed, spasming. "Ohhhh, gawd! Fuck meeeeee!"

"Gonna blast you now, sugar!" Lance gasped. "II'm coming, too. Hold on, baby…Daddy's going off now…ahhh…ahhh…ahhhh…there! Take that, and that, and that…"

And then the full force of her orgasm struck. Her very spine seemed to collapse as the pleasure current wracked her body. She bucked involuntarily, seeing colors, all colors of the rainbow. There were golds, and greens, and lavenders, and purples-all of them blending as the tears streamed down her face from the pleasure-pain. "Agghhhh!" she babbled, drooling against the cushions.

She was barely aware of the last strokes Lance delivered as he raced to his own orgasm. And then she felt his full weight upon her and the agonizing rasp of his breathing against her back. She reached back, somehow, and gently cradled his balls, and then they both lay there for what seemed a long time.

Finally, Lance withdrew his semi-limp organ from her rectum. A minute later, he stood at the door fully dressed. "Just remember who does you best," he said smiling arrogantly. "Next time you're with that goddam Vern Shipley just remember who's the man and who's just a client."

Lance Gregory left then. He liked to do that. like a matador, he liked to leave his victim-drained, satiated, spasming-in a heap as a tribute to his masculinity.

Chapter 5

James Wyatt, sixty, president of Wyatt Enterprises, bad just left the offices of Shipley Research Incorporated. Vern Shipley sprang up from behind his desk and let out a victorious whoop. He extended both hands in front of him, cupping them for his partner's inspection. Stan Kettering was grinning, too.

"We got Wyatt right in the palms of our hands, Stan!" Vern said triumphantly. "You did a beautiful analysis of their competitors' advertising, Stan. Just beautiful. Hell, Westinghouse and GE are gonna eat their hearts out once Wyatt's new ad campaign gets underway." Stan Kettering had assembled Wyatt's competitors' magazine ads, and old man Wyatt had selected-with the assistance of the computer reports Stan had employed-an advertising approach which combined the best of both competing companies. It had been a conservative approach, since old man Wyatt was a conservative merchandiser, and so there hadn't really been any "innovation" involved. But that's the way the old man had wanted it, so that's what they had given him. And he had responded beautifully.

The account seemed secure now; Wyatt would be writing a check next week for the balance of the original contract, and Wyatt's appliances would be appearing-the products, that is-on national TV and in national magazines within a month.

"The question remains, however," Stan said, frowning. He didn't finish his sentence.

"What question remains?" Vern inquired.

"I mean, the question remains whether the ad approach is truly the best approach. Sure, Mr. Wyatt has approved it, but will it really sell stoves, refrigerators, all the smaller appliances?"

"Who gives a shit?" Vern said.

"I do," Stan said, "and so should you. We have to think of the long-range view. Personally, I think he should advertise in a radically different way from his competitors. What if Wyatt doesn't get the results he wants?"

"We'll worry about that later," Vern said, annoyed.

"Also, while we're on the subject," Stan said, "are you sure it's absolutely necessary to use this-this broad from Dream-Date with clients? I don't like it. Ethically, I think it stinks."

Vern dismissed his partner's objection with a wave of his hand. "Leave the social side of the business to me, Stan, will you? A good-looking chick never hurt anything and you know it. Christ, whether it's a massage parlor, a church social, a car, a plane, a tank, whatever-good-looking, sexy broads can't do anything but help you. Yeah, just leave the lighter side of the biz to me. You're the scholar. I concede that. But I'm the promoter, okay?"

Stan shook his head. He didn't answer.

Vern went over and stared out the window. He glanced at his wristwatch. Four-forty-five. Fifteen minutes from now, lovely Maria Reese was scheduled to show up for his dinner and cocktail affair at Montague Country Club tonight. Old man Wyatt and his wife would be there-along with Randolph Reardon, president of Reardon Systems Inc. and his wife, and Lloyd Hendricks, president of the new airline, Overseas Air Routes, and his wife. Vern was very glad it had gone so well with old man Wyatt. If Wyatt had been unhappy, he would have had to cancel the social engagement. Yes, he could not have risked letting a discontented client rub elbows with two new prospective clients.

Vern rubbed his hands together, pleased. But as it was, old man Wyatt would function as a kind of testimonial to the prowess of Shipley Research. Yes, Wyatt would praise Vern's firm and, hopefully, his praise would motivate Reardon and Hendricks to reach decisions favorable to Shipley Research. Most important, Vern would have lovely Maria Reese to display and help in winning over Reardon and Hendricks.

"Maria Reese," Vern whispered softly, smiling. Ever since his session, with Maria at Dream-Date's offices he had been waiting anxiously for a reunion with Maria. Now, at last, Friday had rolled around and Maria would be here in a few minutes. Vern had mentioned nothing to Stan about his hanky-panky with Maria, of course. As far as Stan was concerned Maria was merely a "date."

"I've got a lot of work to do," Stan said. He took a deep, impatient breath. "Must I stay and meet her? I mean, I'm sure she's beautiful-beyond comprehension-but why do I have to meet her?"

Vern was about to tell Stan to forget it, to go ahead and crawl into his office, when secretary Vera Klett announced that Maria Reese had arrived.

"Send her in," Vern said crisply into the intercom.

He winked at Stan. "She's here," Vern said. "You'll be glad you didn't miss her."

Maria appeared in the open doorway then and stood, posing, for Vern's inspection. She wore a full-length white gown-shoulderless and shimmering. Vern didn't know whether her jewelry was real or not, but the overall effect was stunning, unbelievable.

"Ready and available, sir, to do your bidding," she said, grinning.

Vern felt a tingling sensation in his groin. "You're early, Maria," he said, "and I'm delighted. Maria Reese, this is my partner, Mr. Stan Kettering."

Stan was impressed, despite himself. "How do you do, Miss Reese?" She offered her hand, and Stan instinctively-just as Vern had done-kissed it. "W-welL I-I must get back to my office," Stan stammered. "Have a nice time, you two."

When Stan had clumsily left Vern's office, Vern closed the door and held Maria in his arms. "I've waited for this moment with-well, with baited breath."

She smiled her special smile, revealing those flawless, white teeth. "And baited other things, too, I suspect," she cooed.

"You can read minds?" Vern inquired coolly, swallowing.

"Not at all," Maria replied, staring boldly at his crotch. "I read crotches!"

Vern stared down at his fly. Yes, his organ had stirred and stood semi-erect. He chuckled. "I don't think I ever got a hard-on that fast, or didn't realize I even had a hard-on!" he said. "You are amazing. Or perhaps you're accustomed to this kind of reaction to your arrivals?"

Maria smiled modestly. "Well, sometimes," she admitted. "Yes, men do respond that way to me quite often. But I assure you I'll hold back the charm on your married clients tonight. The wives, I mean."

"Good idea," Vern said. "Turn on the charm, but-uh-be discreet."

"That's what I'm trained to do," she said.

Vern told her he had taken the liberty of arranging a snack and cocktails at the French restaurant just down the street. "With these people you never know when you're going to eat," he explained. "You see, they like to guzzle their cocktails and we might not get around to eating until nine or ten."

Maria shrugged and her breasts jiggled beneath the shimmering white material. "Whatever you say, my dear. I'm yours for tonight." She eyed the couch. "Then you won't be needing my other services 'til later?"

Vern reached out and patted her cheek-very carefully so as not to disturb her make-up. "I'm tempted," he admitted, "but-but would you really risk getting disheveled? You look impeccable. I wouldn't want to muss you up, dear."

Her eyes were riveted to his. "That's up to you. I'm very flexible," she said. "I can be anything you want."

Vern ran his eyes over the delectable figure before him, then frantically grabbed her hand and started for the door. "Jesus, don't tempt me that way! Quick! Let's get out of here and have a drink before I tear that gorgeous gown off and ravage you!"

Over cocktails and hors d oeuvres Vern explained the importance of this dinner party at Montague Country Club. He informed Maria what was at stake and suggested ways for her to proceed.

When he had finished, she summed up his advice briefly. "What you're saying, it seems to me, is that you want Overseas Air Routes and Reardon Systems International very badly."

"Yes, I suppose that's the crux of what I've said," Vern said. "Yes. Most definitely."

She patted his cheek and batted her long lashes. "Very well then," she said. "Why don't you just leave the tactics to me?"

Vern reached out and patted her cheek. "Yes, you're right, my dear. Of course, I will." He shook his head. "You know, I constantly advise my clients to leave their problems to me-tell them I'm the specialist, but for some reason I don't seem to follow my own advice. In this case, you're the specialist, so I will indeed leave the influencing of my clients to some extent in your capable hands."

Maria kissed Vern on the cheek. "Good," she purred. "I assure you that's the best course."

Vern picked up the check. "Shall we go?"

Vern left his car for the parking attendant in front of the wide stairway that led to the main dining room of the Montague Country Club. He and Maria bypassed the main door and, instead, strolled along the outdoor walk past the pro gouf shop, the men's locker entrance, the card room and men's bar. To the left, the well-manicured beauty of one of Southern California's finest golf courses lay in breath-taking splendor. Tall firs lined the first fairway and the flags on the greens fluttered in a gentle breeze.

"Oh, Vern!" Maria sighed. "I'd give anything to belong to a club like this. It's-it's gorgeous. Are you a very good golfer?"

Vern shrugged. "Fair. Mostly, I use the place for contacts. I really don't play as much as I should. Someday-when my ship comes in-I hope to have plenty of time for golf and-and possibly someone like you."

"like me?" She frowned.

"All right then," he corrected. "You. It was just a figure of speech. Yes, I'd like to spend all my time golfing and being with you. You, Maria Reese, exclusively and specifically."

This seemed to please Maria, for she took Vern's hand in her own and gave it a squeeze. "You won't be sorry for saying that, Vern," she said, smiling. "I mean, you may just be stringing me along, but I love to hear you say that"

"It is just a bit early for commitments, isn't it?" he said.

"Yes, I suppose so." Her breast rubbed his arm.

They stood staring out at the rolling greenery of the Montague golf course for a moment, then entered through the side door of the main dining room.

It was Sunday and a huge buffet table ran the length of the far wall. The long narrow table was heaped with food-four kinds of meat and assorted delicacies. Vern led Maria past the buffet table into a smaller room, where he sighted his guests seated about the enormous fireplace.

"There they are," he said under his breath as they approached Randolph Reardon and his wife, Elyse, the president of O.A.R., Lloyd Hendricks and his wife, Sheila, and old man Wyatt and his wife, Alta. "Remember, this is for all the marbles. If all goes well with these clients, particularly Hendricks, I could be golfing or spending all my time with-with someone like you."-

The assembled group rose, both the men and women, as Vern and Maria approached. That the wives would rise surprised Vern. Good God, he thought, the husbands must truly regard him highly if their wives stood, too! Hell, the host had even arrived late!

After the introductions were made, the group consumed several rounds of cocktails. Vern was delighted that everyone seemed to respond so well to Maria, who managed to converse with all three men in such a way that nobody could possibly feel slighted. Her action was indeed miraculous. She won them over by conversing knowledgeably on the state of business in general, the economic outlook for the country, the world! She had obviously been reading all the news magazines and digesting pertinent facts.

Most amazing was the way she handled the wives. As she cast her sexual spell over the husbands, she somehow managed to retain the interest and trust of the ladies.

As the group moved into the dining room to begin their dinner, both Lloyd Hendricks and Randolph Reardon managed to express their approval of Maria to Vern. Vern thanked them, implying that lovely Maria was the woman of his life, possibly even his fianc'e. Alta Wyatt remained a bit aloof, keeping her husband at a safe distance from the bewitching Maria. Still, Vern could tell that Maria had not aroused jealousy in Mrs. Wyatt.

There was dinner dancing-played by an elderly-looking quartet that specialized in the bouncy hotel-type music of a bygone decade-and Maria managed to dance with all the males in the group. Between dances she conversed beautifully with the wives while Vern touched on business from time to time with his prospective clients and old man Wyatt. Then, over brandy and coffee, Wyatt stood and toasted his host and hostess. He alluded, too, to the fact that his alliance with Vern's firm promised to be the most exciting and profitable blending of talents since the inception of his firm.

Vern swallowed. Wyatt's endorsement of Vern's firm could not have been more favorable, nor could Wyatt's timing have been better. Both Reardon and Hendricks were impressed, Vern could tell.

It was perhaps fifteen minutes later that Vern noticed that Randolph Reardon and Maria had strolled from the dance floor. Glancing through the long window, he saw the two of them chatting outside and viewing the golf course. Boldly, he called attention to the fact so that all would realize everything was on the up and up.

"Ah, so my fianc'e is trying to make points with my prospective client," he said, laughing.

Everyone in the group laughed, and Mrs. Reardon said: "You'd better tell that lovely woman of yours to watch out for that dirty-old lecher-husband of mine."

Vern was relieved. Obviously, the wives were not going to worry. They assumed that Maria would commit no indiscretion, since she was Vern's fianc'e. Things were working out beautifully; they couldn't possibly be going better.

Fortunately, everyone in the group (with the possible exception of Mrs. Wyatt) drank rather heavily, and so there were many rounds of after-dinner drinks. Laughter abounded. Spirits were high.

Maria and Randolph Reardon had been outside for quite some time when Vern excused himself and went looking discreetly for his date and his prospective client. Outside, he proceeded along the wide walkway, searching. It-had grown quite dark, despite the row of overhead amber lights.

Vern could not sight Randolph and Maria anywhere. He quickened his step and reached the pro shop, and then rounded the corner. Still there was no one in view. Squinting, frowning, he stood staring out at the golf course, puzzled. Where could they have gone, he thought. Certainly not in the men's bar or men's locker room. He wanted Maria to be persuasive, but it seemed she had gone too far. A short walk was one thing, but a twenty-minute disappearance was something else again! Where in hell had Maria taken Randolph Reardon?

And then, maybe twenty yards in the distance, behind a group of closely grouped trees, Vern sighted what he was certain was a bit of white material. Maria's gown? Good God! She wouldn't dare be so brazen. He stepped onto the damp grass and quietly approached the spot.

Very quietly, he reached the trees and stood behind the largest. To his amazement, in full view (but fortunately not in view of the guests inside the dining room) were Maria and Reardon. Maria sat on the grass, her gown hiked up about her waist and her back against one of the tree trunks. Her legs were spread wide and, between her smooth legs, was Reardon's bobbing head.

"Oh, Jesus!" Maria was uttering through clenched teeth. "Oh, nobody-but nobody-has ever made m-me feel like t-this. Ohhhhh, Randy! Your tongue is-is driving me out of my m-mind!"

Vern could actually hear the slurping sounds of saliva and Randolph Reardon's grunts as he gorged himself on Maria's tasty, young cunt. Maria held his head lightly in her palms, guiding him and shoving her pelvis at his gulping mouth in grinding and steady movements. He had to laugh at her calling him "Randy."

Vern was tempted to stop them before one of his guests discovered what he had discovered. But of course he could not. His position was agonizing. He had to stop them, but he could not stop them! He would have to let their session run its course and pray they were not discovered.

Suddenly Maria forced Randolph to cease his gobbling at her pussy. She raised his head, planted a huge kiss on his cunt-wet face and told him she wanted to finish him with her mouth.

"I-I don't want to come," she stammered. "It's so delicious feeling, and-and I'm tempted, but n-not here. We'll have to meet sometime when we have more time. B-but let me f-finish you, darling!"

Good girl, Vern thought. In a way, he wished Maria hadn't moved so quickly and taken such a risk, but if she got him alone, Vern reasoned, she would be in a better position to influence his decision regarding the alliance of his company with Shipley Research more effectively. She had told him to leave the tactics to her, so he would do so.

And, Jesus, was she ever getting tactical!

"Oh, Randy, you're so hard and-and long. I-I can hardly wait to get that big, beautiful thing in my mouth! I-I've never done anything so openly before. Oh, my…you've got me saying things I've never dared utter before, too," she lied.

"Randy" was obviously eating up everything Maria said. He actually believed her! He then rested his own back against the tree trunk and, staring down with his mouth open, watched Maria begin showering the bulbous, dribbling head of his immense hard-on with noisy kisses.

"Oh, those big balls!" Maria gasped. "They're so furry and beautiful." She began massaging Randolph's testicles and letting her tongue-tip flick against and around Randolph's pulsing flesh stalk.

Randolph let out a long moan and stared enraptured as beautiful Maria began giving him the blow job of a lifetime. "You're so beautiful to be doing this," he sighed.

"Beautiful women are human, too," Maria replied, ceasing her laving efforts long enough to remove a hair from her chin. "Especially when a man has an organ as beautiful and manly as yours!"

"Oh, yeah," Randolph groaned. "Do it, baby. Suck my rod."

Maria's head began bobbing faster-frantically, crazily, as she mewed and squealed to coax forth Randolph's load.

"It's coming, baby," Randolph said. 'It's gonna come. I-I better pull it out of-of your mouth."

Maria answered by attacking his prick with even greater fervor.

'You mean, you'll l-let me come in your mouth? You'll let me shoot off in your m-mouth. Ohhhh, Jesus!" His head rolled.

"Ummm-hmmm," Maria replied, repeating her answer over and over again as she nursed and gobbled on the engorged shaft that slid in and out of her beautiful lips.

Randolph's grunts and panting became hysterical then. He clutched at Maria's raven-black hair and drove into her craving oral cavity with a fury. "A beautiful woman like you," he said. "A beautiful woman like you g-gonna-gonna swallow my load. H-Here it comes…here it comes!"

Maria let no drop of Randolph's load escape her mouth. He screamed in subdued bursts, spasming and shuddering as Maria's throat constricted-gulping, drinking, gobbling, gurgling with joy. For just an instant, Vern felt the beginning of jealousy, but then he told himself Maria was doing this for him.

When it was over, Vern discreetly retreated to the walk and hovered in the shadows until the two of them returned to the walkway. He appeared then suddenly, glad that they both had somehow managed to make themselves look presentable.

"Ah, so there you two are," he said, feigning surprise. "Out enjoying the air, eh?"

"Uh, yes," Randolph Reardon said, embarrassed. "Did anyone miss us?"

"Oh, no," Vern said reassuringly, winking slyly at Maria, who winked back at him. "We were all joking about you two inside, but everyone trusts my fianc'e with you."

"Good, good," Randolph said, forcing a smile, obviously relieved. "Yes, Miss Reese and myself were simply out enjoying the night air. A beautiful evening, isn't it?"

"Yes, it certainly is," Vern said innocently, and then he hurried on ahead so that Maria could make whatever pitch she had in mind in privacy.

Vern waited inside the door until Maria and Randolph arrived, and then the three of them returned to the group table. "I caught these two outside all by themselves," he said, laughing. "For a minute I was worried, but they were only admiring the golf course."

Everyone laughed good-naturedly, and Vern was astounded that such a group of naive and unsuspecting men could head up such large and important companies. Captains of Industry, he thought. God, what is this country coming to?

And that's the way it went for the rest of the evening. One by one, Maria managed to disappear with each of the males at the party, and each time everybody in the group made a joke of the "innocent strolls" to admire the golf course. After the strolls, there were very satisfied-looking looks on the faces of the men. Vern could not understand why the men were not jealous of each other. But they were not, so Vern was not going to worry about it. Hell, the wives even kidded Vern about his fianc'e's playing around-"flirting," they said.

If they only knew the half of it!

Afterwards, he drove Maria back to her car parked near his office, and Maria told him she had arranged to meet all three of the men secretly-unbeknownst to their wives, of course.

"You're amazing," Vern said. "I mean, I expected favorable results, but this is incredible!"

I told you to leave the 'tactics' to me," she said, running her fingers through his hair. "Are you pleased? Have you any doubts that I can influence those gentlemen to decide things in your favor?"

"Yes, I'm pleased, though somewhat jealous. And, no, I don't doubt that you can influence any man to do anything."

"Good," Maria said. "Now let's go somewhere where I can do what I've been doing all evening-only for real. Besides, I like to come once in a while myself, you know."

"Yes, I can well imagine," Vern said. "How about my office?"

"Fine," Maria said, stroking Vern's leg as he braked the car to a halt in his private parking slot behind Shipley Research.

Chapter 6

Vern and Maria had been reclining naked on the huge couch that folded into a bed in Vern's office for fifteen minutes. Vern smoked hard, staring up at the ceiling, thinking he had never known what "all-out" sex was until meeting Maria. He had sucked and been sucked, and he had fucked Maria both vaginally and anally. Christ, he thought, my prick is raw!

"Had enough?" Maria inquired. She lay with her head on Vern's shoulder. He nodded, grinning as he sighed. "Yes," he admitted, "I'm sorry to admit it, but I couldn't get it up again if my life depended on it. Whew!" He massaged Maria's neck. "So you think you'll be able to help me out with Reardon and Hendricks."

"Of course, darling." She broke off, pursing her lips and staring thoughtfully down at his flaccid organ. "Vern, there's something I have to discuss with you. I don't like to bring up an unpleasant subject at a time like this, but I really must."

"Unpleasant?" Vern asked. "All right, shoot."

"It's about my boss, Lance. You see, he's rather fond of me and it's quite-likely that he could become jealous."

"So what?" Vern said. "Lots of men get jealous, especially over a female the-likes of you."

She ran her fingers through his hair. It's not as simple as that, Vern. Lance Gregory is a very ambitious man-an unscrupulous man. If he had any idea about the way I'm beginning to feel about you, he could be dangerous."

Vern just chuckled. "I can handle myself," he said. "Don't worry about it. I don't want you troubling your pretty little head with problems like that at a time like this. You're too important to me and my clients right now. I want you to concentrate on Reardon and Hendricks exclusively."

"You don't understand, Vern. I mean, the man is truly dangerous. You see, Dream-Date isn't all it's cracked up to be. I don't want to seem a disloyal employee, and I don't want to alarm you, but-"

"Look," Vern said, interrupting, "Dream-Date gave me you, and that's really all that matters. I don't want to hear any more about the ogre, Lance Gregory."

"Very well," Maria said, giving up, "but I wish you would watch yourself. Please remember just one thing, will you? There's a man-a very large and ugly man by the name of Roscoe Snyder. If you should ever come in contact with him, please promise me you will mn like hell."

Again, Vern chuckled. "Why on earth would this man bother me?"

"That's all I can reveal right now," Maria said. "I can only say that Roscoe is used by Lance for certain-well, collections and other business problems."

"Very well, dear," Vern said. "I'll remember the name. Thanks for your concern." He paused, staring at the incredible beauty and shapeliness of the female who lay naked beside him. "Collections…hmmm…yes, I'll remember that. Although I don't plan on becoming a collection problem' for Dream-Date."

Maria said nothing. "I-I guess I should be leaving," she purred finally. "When will I see you again?"

"I'll let you know," Vern said, palming her breast. "I assure you it won't be very long from now-even if I have to invent an unofficial reason."

"I'm looking forward to it," Maria said. "Ummmmm, am I ever!"

Maria got up then and started dressing. Vern did, too. When they were both dressed, Vern led her to her car and stood watching as she drove away. Then he got in his own car and drove to Ellen's place.

As he pulled into the subterranean garage, he wondered why he had decided to spend the night with Ellen. Hell, he certainly didn't need any more female companionship. But for some inexplicable reason he had headed for Ellen instinctively. It was odd; he did not understand his action at all.

When the elevator reached Ellen's floor, he walked slowly down the hallway, toying with the idea of going to his own apartment tonight. To hell with it, he decided, and opened Ellen's door with his key. The place was dark, of course. He entered the bedroom and saw Ellen sleeping soundly. She stirred, sensing his presence. He wished she had remained asleep.

"Hello, darling," she said groggily. "Why so late? I didn't think you were coming. I called you several times and got no answer. I must have called your place ten times. I was worried."

"Just a little business dinner with some clients," he replied, undressing. "Nothing important."

He knew she was watching him as he hung up his suit, tie and shirt in the closet. "Did your clients bring their wives?" Ellen asked.

"Uh-yes, but it would have bored you," he lied. "I didn't want to expose you to a lot of idle chit-chat."

"I-I would have loved going with you, Vern. You know I care about going out and-and helping you with your clients."

Vern didn't know what to say. "Well, maybe next time," he said, and got into bed beside her.

Immediately, Ellen curled up dutifully beside him, her hand fondling his aching prick. "I'm awfully beat," he said. "Let's just go to sleep, huh?"

But she was insistent and, incredibly, his raw prick stood up hard and firm! God, he thought. No. What I don't need tonight is more sex. Poor Ellen. He couldn't put her off very well. She would surely suspect he'd been tomcatting. Perhaps if he ate her cunt she would be pacified without making any demands on him. It amazed him that his shaft had responded to her touch! What was her attraction, he asked himself. Pure habit, probably. Yes, that had to be the reason. Ellen had somehow woven some strange spell that his unconscious responded to. She had been so loyal, so loving…

Without really wanting to, Vern began palming and kissing Ellen's breasts preparatory to munching on her clit. She arched her back, groaning and shivering with anticipation. Vern felt exhausted, but he forced himself to manipulate her with what he hoped seemed enthusiasm. She seemed to believe his ardor all right.

Finally, Vern began his kissing descent over her quivering stomach toward her snatch.

"Vern…oh, Vern!" she cried. "When are you going to learn that we're so right for each other? Oh, Vern!"

It was then that Vern realized the problem he had created in embarking on his relationship with Maria and Ellen at the same time. His prick now stood hard, true, but his thoughts were of Maria-beautiful, curvaceous, stunning Maria Reese. As his tongue began its work on Ellen's cunt, he imagined that it was Maria's twat he lapped and laved, that it was Maria's voice spurring him on. In this way-and only in this way-was he able to make love to the plump and dowdy Ellen.

The cunt that gushed as he dined at its urgent flesh suddenly became Maria's; the cunt that he so lovingly nibbled, tongued, lapped was that of the incredibly beautiful Maria. The voice that sighed and pleaded and panted gratitude was Maria's, too. Yes, Vern had somehow managed to convince himself that it was Maria Reese who lay flat on her back, spasming, trembling, crying out so loud Vern thought surely the other tenants in the building would hear her plaintive wailing.

Ellen's clawing fingers were in his hair, pulling his gobbling mouth urgently, frantically into her seething snatch. "Vernon…oh, my Vernon," she cried, and her voice sounded like someone in a mental institution. "Never stop…never stop…ohhhh, eat my cunt… eat it all up."

Just before she almost came, Ellen made him stop and lie with his head on her shoulder. She loved to make love in this manner; pausing now and then to rest, pausing to stretch out their lovemaking sessions and make them last for hours. But tonight he could not endure it. He could not have endured it with Maria, and he certainly could not endure it with Ellen. Still, he continued his imagining that Ellen was Maria, and he was able to keep from telling Ellen forcefully to go to sleep, to forget it, for God's sake!

"Rub my clit slowly now, honey," Ellen purred. "Just he beside me and suck my titties for a while and rub my clit, huh? Yes, the way you do it and make mama happier than anything."

Reluctantly, Vern complied. He scooted down a bit, took her left breast in his hand and began sucking on the nipple while he fingered her cunt top. Her nipples were very large, and the nipples were fully erect. It was all he could do to keep from uttering Maria Reese's name. He nursed steadily, massaging the expanded clit and listened to the voice he kept telling himself was that of Maria.

After perhaps five minutes of this, again Ellen made him stop and rest. Usually at this point, Ellen liked to munch on his tool before letting him once again resume his stimulation of her, but tonight Vern told her he wanted her "to go off."

"No, you go ahead, darling," he gasped, wincing as he forced her hand from his raw pecker. "I want you to come first, darling. Come now, won't you?"

"But don't I get to suck my sugar's nice, big prick? Oh, Vern! Don't deny me that! Please."

With all the self-hypnosis he could muster, Vern lay back and let Ellen suck his prick briefly. "Easy, honey," he kept saying. "I-I must have some kind of rash or something. I-I'm a little sore down there." He imagined very hard again that Ellen was Maria.

Finally, he persuaded Ellen to let him resume the sucking of her huge extended nipples while he fingered her cunt. "Better come this way tonight, honey," he said. He knew that fucking was totally out of the question. His prick was like raw hamburger. "Yes, go ahead. I insist you come! Now!"

At last, Ellen took him at his word. "All right, darling," she panted. "If-if you insist."

And then she was thrusting her hips upward in a frenzy to meet his middle finger that worked horizontally-back and forth, back and forth-as his mouth moved back and forth from her left nipple to her right nipple. "Come, baby, come," Vern pleaded softly.

Ellen's head tossed wildly as she raised her buttocks up high from the mattress. She squealed, she ranted, she muttered four-letter words and commanded him to press harder or lighter, depending upon the needs of her dripping wet snatch. "Finger-fuck me!"

She was near her climax now. Her breath-whines became breath-bursts that sounded like muffled, staccato shots from an automatic weapon. "It's coming," she said through clenched teeth. "Gonna come…don't stop…just that way…don't stop…it's gonna come…coming now…oh-oh-oh-oh-oh…coming…coming…nowwwwwwww! Ahhhhhh! Ohhhhhhh!"

Suddenly, as always, she collapsed then, her chest heaving as her orgasm struck. She began sobbing, then reached down and pulled his hand from her pussy. Immediately, she buried her face between his neck and shoulder and lay gasping out the aftermath of her intense climax while he rubbed her back to ease her return to this earth.

He was amazed that he had been able to imagine-most of the time-that Ellen was Maria. But there was no need for the masquerade any longer. Now he let himself know-realize-that it was Ellen he'd brought to a climax. He was exhausted and, yes, disappointed. Thank God she had come, he thought, for he knew he could not have continued her clit massage much longer. His right arm ached from the steady, rhythmic up and downstrokes that had brought Ellen to the heights. Now he only wanted to sleep…blessed, blessed sleep. Maria had totally drained him earlier and now he only wanted to sleep. He thought of Maria now as drowsiness overwhelmed him.

His eyelids closed and he felt himself drifting off to beautiful sleep with his head on Ellen's shoulder. Unfortunately, Ellen had other plans. Devoted mistress that she was, she could not conceive of letting her man go to sleep without being fulfilled sexually. Her insistent kisses-showering his eyelids-and her massaging of his raw cock jarred him back to consciousness.

"No!" Vern said sharply. "I've got to get some sleep! No! Leave me alone, Ellen! Let me sleep, goddamit!"

Even the sharp tone of his voice could not dissuade her. "But I have to make my man tingle all over," she cooed. "I have to make my big and wonderful man 'go off' so he can have a truly relaxing night's sleep. You don't know it, honey, but if you go to sleep without your orgasm, your subconscious won't let you sleep deeply. Your rest will be troubled and you'll feel deprived in the morning," she insisted.

"Bullshit!" Vern shrieked. "Leave me alone, you bitch! You got your jollies, didn't you? Now let me sleep!"

Ellen had gone absolutely out of her head, it seemed. Even though she had reached her orgasm and should be drifting off to blissful sleep, she was insisting on touching Vern's very raw shaft. Her head was under the covers now, diving for his organ, hell-bent on sucking his flaccid tool. "Ummm, ummm, ummm," she chanted.

Vern gave her head an upward tug, but she exhibited amazing strength and held onto his hips, still straining to place her lips on his prick. Vern tugged still harder, but to no avail.

Now she had reached his prick and began cradling his testicles with her hand. Vern had prevented her successfully from reaching his prick with her gulping mouth, but she had rested her chin and, entrenched there for the moment, began licking his abdomen hungrily. "Ummm, baby," she cooed from beneath the covers. "I know what my baby needs. I know what he-likes. You can't fool mama, Vernie. Mama knows you're playing some kind of game with her. Mama knows her Vernie wants his prickie-pooh sucked off."

And then, with one mighty lunge, Ellen managed to reach his prick and clamp her lips about it. Vern saw stars-stars of rage. He ripped the covers upward, grabbed Ellen's hair and flung her to the floor. "Goddamit, how many times do I have to say, NO!"

She looked pathetic there, sitting on the floor with tears streaming down her face, her hair a mess, her face puffy. She sobbed, shaking her head as Vern quickly began to dress.

Then, fully dressed, standing at the front door, Vern just stared at Ellen crying before he jerked open the door. "I'm staying at the office tonight!" he yelled and exited, slamming the door after him.

Vern awakened the following morning with a cramp in his neck from sleeping on the fold-down couch in his office. The couch was fine for screwing, but it didn't compare with the big king-size bed with the therapeutic mattress at Ellen's. He wished he had decided to drive a bit further to his own apartment and spend the night in his own bed. He stretched and sat up. Finally, he stood.

He staggered then to his private John, shaved with his electric shaver, showered, and was sitting behind his desk at 9:00 when Stan Kettering arrived.

"Well, what brings the boss to work so early?" Stan asked pleasantly.

"I spent the night here," Vern replied, "and don't bother to ask me why. I'd rather not discuss the details."

Stan eyed him briefly, frowning, then said: "Say, that Maria girl is something else, isn't she?"

"Of course," Vern said. "You don't really think I'd hire some ugly slut to assist me with Reardon, Hendricks, Wyatt and the rest, do you?"

Stan shook his gray head. "Wow, would I love to sink my meat in that doll."

Vern had to laugh. "My, my," he said, grinning. "Listen to the happily married man voicing adulterous desires."

"I was only joshing," Stan said. "But she really is something." He stared over at the unmade bed. "I trust you enjoyed her company."

"Never mind," Vern said. "Uh-would you ask Vera to make up my bed as soon as possible?"

"All right," Stan said, obviously annoyed. "Or shall J make it up?"

Vern removed his glasses and pinched the bridge of his nose. "Sorry, Stan," he said, "but I had a most disturbing night. Not with Maria-I mean, after Maria."

"Oh?" Stan seemed to consider questioning Vein further, but changed his mind. "How did the dinner party at Montague go?"

"Fine, fine, really excellent. Maria was a smash hit and old man Wyatt put in an excellent word for us with Reardon and Hendricks."

Stan nodded, pleased. "Good, glad to hear it. Do you want to discuss anything with me? If not, I have some more work to do on both the Reardon and Hendricks presentations."

"No, I want to think about Sheldon Electronics this morning. I want to call them in Dallas and wrap up the account once and for all. We're through with them, of course, but I do want to make one final, follow-up call. You go ahead, Stan. Give Hendricks and Reardon your best effort, and-and I'm sorry for my mood."

"Forget it, Chief," Stan said, pleased by his boss's apology.

Stan left and just then his phone rang. It was Maria.

"Well," Vern said, beaming. "To what do I owe this pleasant surprise? Does Dream-Date bill me for all these phone calls?"

She laughed her beautiful, warm laugh. "No, sir. This is purely social. Well, it does regard your clients, but there will be no charge."

"What's up?" Vern said.

"I just talked to Randolph Reardon, and guess what."

"What?"

"He wants to take me to lunch today. Is that all right?"

"Sure. You're supposed to be my fianc'e, remember? Hell, you ought to be able to score some mighty fine points, especially since he'll feel guilty fooling around with my bride-to-be. But don't make him feel too guilty. I mean, keep him on my side, no matter what else you do."

"That's why I'm calling. He definitely wants to do something. It seems he and Hendricks had a little private conversation last night. Would you believe that those two upstanding, high-powered businessmen want to fool around?"

"Of course," Vern said. "After your sessions with them last night out on the golf course I should think they would. What do they want?"

"Well, I played a little trump card. I told Reardon that I might be busy with Hendricks, but that I'd get back to him. He said-you won't believe this-that we should make it a threesome, or even a foursome."

"Jesus, people are funny, aren't they?" Vern said. "So they want to have some kind of orgy, huh?"

"I don't know about Hendricks, but Reardon does. What do you think if I set up a little foursome? I could get my roommate-Judy Thor, another Dream-Date girl-for one of them and we could have a foursome."

"That sort of leaves me holding my pecker out in the cold," Vern said.

Maria laughed. "Well, not really, dear. Remember it would be strictly for business reasons, strictly to advance the cause of Shipley Research. No, you won't be out in the cold and you know it. I'll take care of you whenever you say, Vern. Do you think I should set up something? Tell me. I do think I might be able to use such a situation to good advantage for you."

"All right," Vern said. "Use your own judgment. After last night, I'll never question anything you do."

"Good, then I'll try to set something up. Judy Thor is available."

"Fine," Vern said, "but keep me apprised of the dates and results, and please don't get hung-up on any of those old fools."

"Don't worry. Bye-bye. I'll probably call you later to report."

Vern hung up then. He wondered what Maria's roommate and Dream-Date employee, Judy Thor, was like. In a way, he was envious of his prospective clients. If an orgy took place, he would like to be a part of it instead of simply getting "reports" from Maria. Yes, he decided, he would have to discuss this possibility with Maria. The trouble was, how could he possibly manage it when both Hendricks and Reardon thought Maria was his fianc'e?

Vern took a long, solitary, leisurely lunch. He wondered just how much extra Dream-Date would charge him for Maria's extra efforts with Hendricks and Reardon. He hoped that Lance Gregory arid Maria weren't trying to fleece him. Such things had happened before-to plenty of men. He believed Maria, trusted her motives, but he would have to keep his eyes open. Then, too, there was that warning business regarding Roscoe Snyder. What did it all mean? He did not know. He would simply have to wait and see. Actually, money was not the issue right now. If he could satisfy both Hendricks and Reardon, his money problems would be over forever. Yes, if he could sign both O.A.R. and Reardon Systems International, he didn't care if Dream-Date charged him $10,000!

For some reason, Vern's thoughts turned to Ellen as he ate his dessert. He had been cruel to her last night, to be sure. The poor girl had no idea his prick was raw from his session with Maria. She had been only trying to make him happy, and he had behaved unforgivably. Impulsively, he paid his check and left the restaurant.

In his office once again, he dialed Ellen's number at the school. It was after lunch and she would be teaching, of course, but he had to make an apology. The office girl said she would summon Ellen Lanning from the classroom, and in a few minutes Ellen's voice answered, "Hello?"

"It's me, dear," Vern said. "I think it would be awkward to send a dozen roses to the school, so in lieu of that will you please accept an apology from the world's nastiest bastard?"

"Yes," Ellen whimpered. "But you-you were absolutely heartless. I've never seen you so-"

"I know," Vern interrupted, "but I want to make it up to you." Vern did not understand his own feelings at that moment. He truly-for the first time in his life-felt that he was in love with two women at the same time. "Can I see you tonight, Ellen? Please? I want to take you out to dinner. You see, sweet, I've had an awful lot on my mind lately-those two big accounts I told you about, I mean. You have no idea the kind of worrying I do. Please forgive me and have dinner with me?"

"All right, darling," Ellen said, completely won over. "And-and we can do all our favorite things afterwards?" She giggled.

"Yes, of course. You know your brand of loving is addictive. How could I ever get along without you?" Vern actually felt his prick stirring within his pants. He could not believe Ellen could wield such power over him-plump and plain Ellen. Although he shared something very special with Maria, he apparently still craved Ellen, too.

"Do you want me to meet you, or what?"

"If you don't mind, yes," Vern said. "I'll make a reservation at the Mediterranean on La Cienega for six-thirty."

"Fine, darling," Ellen said. "Oh, you've made my day! My students even noticed that I was distraught, but now they'll see the difference." She made kissing sounds. "See you there at six-thirty. If you're late, I'll be in the bar."

The rest of the afternoon passed quickly. Vern made his call to Dallas regarding Sheldon Electronics. They were completely happy with the results they were getting. They had successfully revamped their advertising approach and made the personnel changes Stan Kettering had recommended. The president was delighted and even told Vern he had several friends-heads of companies-who might soon be contacting Vern's firm for consultation services.

It was nearly 5:00 when Maria once again called to inform Vern that her lunch with Randolph Reardon had yielded some very interesting results.

"I'm having dinner with him tonight," Maria said. "And I convinced Hendricks that he should join us and meet my beautiful girlfriend, Judy Thor."

Vem felt mixed feelings. "So will it be just four people fucking, with me picking up Dream-Date's tab, or will it help Shipley Research? I mean, just what is going on specifically? Would you mind letting me in on your plan, or do you have a plan?"

"Vern! Do I detect a hint of jealousy? Darling, these men actually believe I'm cheating on you because I find them irresistible. Don't you get the significance of that? Heck, I could even threaten to blackmail them if they don't do whatever you want them to do. I could subtly imply I'll tell their wives on theml This is the best possible thing that could happen!"

Vern nearly dropped the phone. "Yes, I see what you mean. Wow! But go easy on the-the blackmail part, huh? I mean, I may be aggressive, but thus far I've never been ruthless. Blackmail? I don't like the idea, but-but do whatever you think best. As I told you before, I trust your judgment. Do whatever you think is necessary and let me know what happened tomorrow…first thing in the morning."

"I will," Maria said, and then, just as Ellen had done, Maria made kissing sounds before hanging up.

Vern could not believe how well things were going. He was so excited that Reardon and Hendricks agreements with his firm might be finalized very soon that he decided to take the rest of the day off and drive golf balls.

He left the office, walking with a jaunty gait, drove to the driving range and hit three buckets of balls, hitting them straighter and farther than he could remember. Afterward, he called the office for messages. There were none, so he drove on home and lay down to take a nap before meeting Ellen for dinner. He didn't want to be exhausted with Ellen tonight…not again. He even applied salve to his prick before going to sleep. Surprisingly, his prick felt much better.

It was almost 6:00 when the raucous buzz of his alarm clock sounded. He hastily showered, dressed and drove off for the Mediterranean. He was five minutes late by his wristwatch, but he found Ellen waiting in a booth in the bar area. He kissed her lovingly as he sat down beside her. For some reason, he did not feel that Ellen was a liability when he was in public-alone with her. It was only with other people-friends and groups of friends-that he felt she did not come up to his high standards, as Maria Reese did.

"So how was your day, darling?" he asked as they sipped their martinis after their initial greetings.

"After your telephone call it was marvelous," Ellen purred, smiling and gazing adoringly into his eves. Very discreetly, her fingers slid up the inside of his leg and gave his cock a squeeze. "But it's my night I care about now. I'm with my darling, and soon we'll be home where we can do all those yummy things to each others' bodies."

"Don't give me a hard-on here, love," Vern warned. He surveyed the room, but nobody seemed to be watching them.

"No, I wouldn't want to do that" she said. "Some horny lady is-likely to see my lover's yummy, big prick and want it and I'd be awfully jealous."

Vern loved it when she talked that way. It was pure vanity, he knew, but he ate it all up, even though he knew Ellen was putting him on a bit "Please, dear," he said. "Try to control yourself."

And then, quite suddenly, Vern wanted to hide beneath the table. Directly across the room, Hendricks, Reardon, Maria Reese, and a stunning blonde Vern assumed was Judy Thor, sat down. Good God! he thought. Of all the restaurants in Los Angeles to select, he had picked the same one Maria and his clients had come to! And he could say nothing-absolutely nothing-to Ellen about it.

"Uh-l-let's go on into the dining room area now," he stammered, hoping he could make his escape before Maria's group sighted him. Jesus, if they see me with another woman, it will compound matters hopelessly! he thought. Bad enough that Maria is presumably cheating on me, but U will be apparent that I'm cheating on her! All her leverage loould be lost if they see me. They could decide to hell with such an amoral man, despite the fact that they were being a bit amoral themselves. That's the way people are…hypocrites.

And then his nightmare became a reality. Randolph Reardon spotted Vern and nudged the others. Everyone in the group turned and stared at him and Ellen. Vern had to think fast. Right or wrong, he had to act. He stood up then, grabbed Ellen's hand, changed his mind and released her.

"Stay here," Vern said. "Be right back." He strode smiling over to the table and said: "Well, what a pleasant surprise! Maria told me she was meeting with you gentlemen for dinner, but I had no idea you'd show up at the same restaurant! I-I'm with the-the Assistant Director of the Los Angeles School District. We-uh-we're discussing the efficiency of their cafeteria systems, their enrollment procedures, a whole host of problems. Strictly business, and very dull business, I must confess. "Hello, darling," Vern said to Maria, his back to Ellen. "You gentlemen must admit that my bride-to-be is quite an asset to me."

Reardon and Hendricks coughed, embarrassed. "Yes, certainly," Hendricks muttered. Reardon blinked very rapidly, obviously flustered, too. "Umm-hmm, Miss Reese is indeed an excellent hostess." He paused, trying to think of something to say.

"We'd love to join you," Vern said, "but I must get my client home early. We've been discussing school business all afternoon, you know. Good, night. See you tomorrow, darling."

With that, Vern turned his back to the group, went quickly to Ellen and whispered. "We're leaving, dear. Right now. Don't say a word and let's go."

"But the reservation," she protested.

"Goddamit, don't question me now. Please!" Vern smiled at the group across the room as he and Ellen departed.

Outside, waiting for the attendant to bring their cars, Ellen said: "Don't you think I deserve some explanation? I mean, really…a beautiful evening spoiled by a-a sudden-who were those people, anyway?"

Again, Vern had to think fast. He wanted to say: You'll just have to trust me. Don't ask any questions. But he could not get away with such tactics after last night, he knew.

"They're several important clients of mine-in fact, it was Hendricks and Reardon. And they aren't with their own wives! You see why I had to get out of there? Hell, they could have been so embarrassed they would never want to see me again. I had to let them know I would keep their secret and get the hell out fast to spare them embarrassment. Don't you see?"

Ellen looked suddenly relieved. "Oh, yes. I do see," she said. "I-I hope everything's still all right."

"I think so," Vern said. "But just barely. Tomorrow I'll have to call them and discreetly reassure them I'll never breathe a word to a soul."

Their cars arrived and Vern suggested they dine at Lawry's, which Ellen thought would be just "dreamy." By the time they reached the restaurant, the nervous fluttering in Vern's stomach had finally subsided. It had been a close call, but he had prevailed. In fact, he was proud of himself. In emergencies, he still had what it took to think fast and think right. He felt almost cocky, in fact, during their dinner and, afterwards, he decided to celebrate with three brandies. The president of Shipley Research was a winner!

When Vern and Ellen arrived at Ellen's condominium, Vern jokingly insisted on carrying Ellen over the threshold. They were both feeling slightly tipsy from their drinks, and they quickly stripped off their clothing and sprawled on the bed. After the usual foreplay, Vern told Ellen to get up on all fours. He lay on his back beneath her then, like some garage mechanic peering into the underside of an automobile, and tongued and flip-flopped her hanging tits. As he did this, he massaged her eager cunt with his instep.

Bleary-eyed with lust, Ellen trembled, telling him over and over again how grateful she was to have him back after their "problems" of the previous night. Vern forced her to suck his prick almost sadistically, jabbing his gristle hunk as far back into her throat as it would go. She gagged, but she seemed grateful for his need, his attention.

Finally, Vern had her squat over his face while he gave her pussy the fiercest gobbling she had ever known. He actually bit her cunt lips, trying to make her raw-just as he had been the previous night. And she loved it!

Then it was time to fuck. Vern commanded her to remain in her "doggie" position while he fetched vaseline from the bathroom. When he returned, he greased her rectum thoroughly and prepared her for ass-fucking. Her buttocks fairly glistened with lubricant in the dim fight.

"Now get down on your knees on the floor," he ordered. "Put your elbows up on the mattress."

She obeyed, breathing hard, loving his commands and his domineering, male manner. Vern knew she liked to be ordered about at such times, so he laid it on thick, being gruff, almost cruel. When she was in position, he got down behind her, his own knees on the thick carpet, and began poking at her tight, puckered anal cavity.

As he prepared her rear hole for penetration, he roughly groped at her nipples and bit the back of her neck hard.

"Ohhhhh," she groaned, "that big cockhead probing at my ass is heaven, Vern. Hurry up and stick it all the way up inside me, but-but you'll have to be just a little gentle. D-don't hurt mama, please?"

For some reason, Vern suddenly bit so hard into her neck that Ellen squealed loudly in pain. He had never sought to inflict pain before-at least not like this-but tonight he wanted to hurt. Was it because he had seen-actually seen-Maria with men who would be touching her body? He did not know, but he began forcing a premature entry into Ellen's ass hole. She shrieked with pain, begging him to "go easy," but he rammed his pulsing shaft in hard, driving it home with a fury. "Argh, Ahhh, Oouu," he heard himself saying over Ellen's pleas for mercy. "Take that…and that…and that!"

But he guessed that Ellen was enjoying this game just as much as he was. She could break away from him anytime she chose, of course, so he knew that he wasn't truly hurting her or damaging her. He loved the tightness of her ass, and he suspected she was clenching her muscles to make herself even tighter. Her anus had never seemed so firm, so unsullied, so virginal in its rigidity. Ellen was not a masochist, but she loved to give of herself totally.

"Ohhhh, Gawd!" she wailed now, drawing the words out, and sounding as if his savage thrusts were bringing her indescribable pleasure. "Fuck my ass, honey. Yes, shove it up all the way! Give me all of it…give me all of that great, big, beau-teeefulll puh-rick!"

Vern released his hold on her hips and, with one hand, clenched her big, hanging tits while he began massaging her clitoris. As always, his contact with her love nub brought forth instant squeals of joy, or despair, he couldn't tell which.

Suddenly Vern decided to try something he'd never done before. He decided to turn her over on her back, in the same position they assumed when he fucked her cunt, only this time he planned to fuck her anus. The position would certainly produce pressure-very intense pressure-in different areas.

He rolled her over and she babbled something about letting him do anything he pleased whenever he wanted to do it. "Use me! Use me!" she screamed. "Hurt me, love me, anything!"

Her legs were draped over his shoulders now. She lay flat on her back and he was fucking her ass in that position! He was correct in assuming the pressure against his prick would be intense. She was so tight he could barely get his prick lodged in her in that position. But it was in-all the way in-and plunging, driving, thrusting mercilessly as she wailed and shuddered.

Staring down, Vern watched his entry and exit into the very tight aperture. When he felt himself ready to shoot his load, he began rubbing Ellen's clit frantically. And then Ellen neared the heights, too. "It's one of-of the b-best c-comes I-I ever haddddddP she yelled. "Now, Veml Now! Now! Ohhhhh, Nowwwwww, Babbeeeee!"

Vern felt his scalding sperm swirling up the length of his throbbing shaft, and they both finished together. Usually, he finished just slightly ahead of Ellen, but tonight they went off simultaneously.

Vern collapsed in a heap on top of Ellen, and they both lay there murmuring and fighting for breath. Finally, without even leaving the bedroom to wash, Vern rolled over, exhausted, and they both fell into a deep and satisfying slumber.

Chapter 1

Maria Reese and Judy Thor stood primping before the mirror in the ladies' room of the Mediterranean Restaurant.

"God, kid," said Judy, "aren't we ever going to get out of here? Randy Reardon is the 'feel up' artist of the century. I'm getting embarrassed. I've had enough to drink. Let's go, huh? Let's just tell them goodbye and get the hell out of here." Maria put her lipstick back in her slim purse and nodded, staring appraisingly at her roommate, Judy, who was blonde, petite and big-bosomed. "I know it's dragging on a bit," she said. "But this means an awful lot to Vern. Won't you just finish out the evening with me?"

Judy grinned, despite her exhaustion. "You do have a thing about this Vern Shipley," she said. "I just hope Lance doesn't find out about it." She sighed. "Well, okay. It's not "that I mind screwing the guy-I just wish we'd get it on and stop playing feelsies here in the restaurant! I feel like some kind of cheap whore, you know?"

"I understand, hon," Maria said. "Just give me a few more minutes. I'll get us all out of here, and we'll get their rocks off and call;t a night. Let's do a little under-the-table work ourselves."

Judy stifled a yawn. "Okay…but let's do it! I wanna get some sleep."

The girls left the ladies' room and returned to the dining room, where Randolph Reardon and Lloyd Hendricks were drinking after-dinner brandies. They were both slightly intoxicated and didn't bother to stand as the girls arrived and sat down. Immediately, Maria and Judy assumed their lady-like poses and began their Dream-Date sophisticated brand of conversation. As they did so, they both began stimulating the men with under-the-table caresses. '

"Shall we leave, Lloyd?" Maria whispered in Lloyd Hendricks' ear. "Isn't there somewhere nice and private where the four of us can take all our clothes off and-and have a party?"

Lloyd Hendricks immediately whispered in Randolph Reardon's ear, then said, "I gotta make a telephone call. Be right back, gang."

Both Hendricks' and Reardon's voices were slurred from too many drinks. "Don't be long, sugar," Maria said as Hendricks left.

In a few minutes, Hendricks returned and announced to the group that they were all departing-that he had made a reservation for adjoining rooms at a nearby plush motel. "It's a play-pen," he said, giggling. "A play-pen where four people can sprawl out and have a ball. Want to call your wife, Randy?" he asked. "I called mine."

"Nah," Reardon said. "I got my wife trained. No problem. Let's go and get it on…Yeah!"

Judy cast a relieved glance at Maria, and the four of them left the restaurant, the men staggering slightly.

The room in the multistory motel on Sunset Boulevard was elegant-an enormous suite with two king-size beds. The instant they stepped inside, Hendricks stripped off his clothes and told the group to do the same. Maria and Judy quickly undressed and stood naked and waiting for their orders.

Hendricks began fondling both girls' breasts and waving his large, limp organ back and forth. "Come on, Randy," he said. "Whatsa matter, man? Git out of those clothes. These li'l fillies are hot to trot. Can't you see?"

Randolph Reardon had stripped down to his shorts but seemed reluctant to undress any further. "I-I don't know, Lloyd," he said. "I mean, can we really trust these girls?"

"You're too rich for your own good, boy," Hendricks chided. "Hell, this here's Shipley's fianc'e! How safe can it be?"

"Yeah, I guess you're right," Reardon said. "Still-"

"Oh, bullshit!" snapped Hendricks, and pulled down Reardon's shorts.

The entire group stood hushed, staring at Reardon's genitals. Maria glanced at Judy, then back at Reardon's crotch. It was all she could do to keep from shaking her head and uttering something encouraging-for Randolph Reardon possessed one of the tiniest peckers she had ever seen! He was uncircumcised and his shriveled-looking little wanger was mounted on what appeared to be testicles the size of small acorns! Yes, his prick resembled a peanut, still in the shell, atop two acorns.

Oddly, Maria found herself extremely aroused! Quite possibly she had experienced every possible sexual experience with a male, but she had never sucked or fucked a man with such a teensy prick. She felt her throat constricting and literally hungered to place the tiny organ in her mouth and nurse it to completion.

Boldly, she left Hendricks' side, strode across the room and palmed Reardon's little cock. "Ummm, this is going to be interesting," she cooed. "Yummy, yummy." She knew her move was psychologically sound; she did not want Randy to be self-conscious. She knew if she made him feel male, virile, desirable, he would be hers forever, which of course meant she could manipulate him to Shipley Research's advantage for Vern.

She did not overdo her encouragement, for she knew that false encouragement could be just as damaging to his ego as teasing or criticism. She merely let him know that she desired him. She hoped Hendricks would not be offended. She had appeared to be Hendricks' date, so she hoped her pitch at Reardon wouldn't upset Hendricks. To her delight, two things happened. First, Hendricks didn't mind at all. Very drunk-acting, he simply ignored her fondling of Reardon and played lustfully with Judy. Second, Randolph Reardon seemed immediately relieved and attained a stiff erection-all 3 inches of him.

The sight of his pulsing little prick sent shivers up and down Maria's spine. Glancing back at Judy and Hendricks to be sure they were engrossed, she quickly dropped to her knees and began showering the dwarf cock with wet and noisy kisses. Its twirp-like rigidity fascinated her. In fact, it reminded her of the time-she had been twelve-that she had mouthed a young boy's prick in the back row of a movie theater. Best of all, she could get every bit of the man's genitalia into her mouth! She gargled now, taking Reardon's prick and balls totally into her mouth and giving his crotch an all-engulfing mouth-massage.

Reardon began shuddering all over and reached down and fumbled with her erect nipples as Maria sucked. "You're so beautiful," he muttered. "Maria, you really like my prick? It is slightly less t-than average in s-size, but you don't mind, do you?"

"Hmm-umm," Maria grunted, swirling her tongue fiercely about his little flesh sack and stout little whanger. "I w-love it…simply adore it…Umrnrnrnrn."

Out of the corner of her eye, Maria was pleased to see that Hendricks was not angry at their changing partners. Yes, he seemed perfectly content to suck Judy's titties and finger her cunt. His gaze suddenly fastened on Maria and Reardon then, and he bellowed, "Judy and I will take the mattresses off both beds and toss 'em on the floor. Then well all lie down and fuck and suck and-and do anything we want!"

Hendricks and Judy then placed both mattresses in the center of the room and both couples fell in writhing, moaning heaps-groping, licking, digging at one another savagely. As Maria continued to nurse on Reardon's tiny, rock-hard prick, she watched Hendricks gulping greedily between Judy's legs. Judy bad gotten into the spirit of the session and was sliding her crotch in a grinding motion all over the cunt-sucking Hendricks' face. "Eat…Yeah," she said.

When Maria felt Hendricks' hand groping at her ass, she reached back and parted the cleft of her bottom to permit him to insert his middle finger in her bung. Hendricks surprised her. She'd had no idea he possessed such a sexual appetite. She wished she had a camera, so that she could take a picture of this seemingly proper businessman gorging himself on Judy's snatch and fingering her ass at the same time. Well, maybe next time, she thought. I would like to suck this miniature cock again…beautiful…delicious…refreshing…

Now Reardon wanted to lie side by side, so that he could suck Maria at the same time she sucked him. She complied, and Reardon began gorging himself on her dripping juices, tonguing her from her clit to her tailbone. He was ravenous-obviously delighted that he had found a woman (other than his stuffy wife) who accepted and reveled in dining on his undersized organ.

Judy was also surprising Maria. Judy had always displayed a healthy sex drive, but Maria had never seen her so turned onl As Hendricks continued munching on her box, she reached over and forced her hand into Maria's mouth so that she could rub Reardon's tiny balls. Maria found herself getting hysterical. Not only was she sucking the tiniest prick she had ever seen on an adult male, but now Judy's eager fingers were within her mouth! Excited to a frenzy, Maria began biting on Judy's fingers. This was a sexual first; she had given up hope of ever finding something truly new in the sex act, but now she was experiencing it!

She and Judy continued stimulating Reardon in this manner for several minutes before Tudy withdrew her hand to give Hendricks her full attention. Now both couples were sixty-nining. The sounds of slurping saliva and grunts and moans of ecstasy filled the room. Maria began to see colors. She had passed into a trance-like state that begged for more and more strange fulfillment.

And then Hendricks suddenly insisted that the girls sixty-nine! Reardon withdrew his prick from Maria's mouth and agreed.

"Yeah," he gasped, his eyes blazing, insane with lust. "I-I wanna watch the girls do it to each other, too. I wanna watch you two girls suck each others' pussies. Do it now!"

Both men now stood up on their knees, anxiously waiting for the girls to begin carrying out their orders.

"But we're roommates," Judy protested. "We're not lesbians. We-we've never done anything like that before!" She looked imploringly at Maria, begging for some assistance in dissuading the men from their request.

At that instant, Maria feared for her sanity. Of course, she had indulged in "girl-to-girl," but it had always been phony-strictly for show. Now, suddenly, as she stared at Judy's heaving tits, her perfectly rounded ass, the cunt-lubricant mingled with saliva that glistened on her legs, abdomen, breasts, everywhere, she wanted to suck her roommate, fondle and lick those erect nipples, bring her to a tumultuous orgasm.

But if-if they insist," Maria grunted, "we-we could put on a little display for-for their sakes."

Judy was staring back at Maria uncomprehendingly, as if she could not believe the words her roommate was uttering. "No, I-I couldn't Please, Maria…no…I don't want to do it."

The mood became like that of a mob then. Both Hendricks and Reardon grabbed the girls, threw Judy on her back and spread her legs apart. Judy fought momentarily, then finally relaxed. Maria pretended to resist when Hendricks shoved her head between Judy's legs, but she was grateful…yes, grateful. Her already hammering heart beat still harder against her rib cage as her eyes feasted on the pink vaginal lips, the sopping-wet pubic hair that guarded them. Never before had she longed to suck a female's genitalia, but now the beautiful cunt of Judy beckoned and she realized she had wanted to make love to her roommate for a long time…for a very long time.

Maria inhaled deeply, loving the scent of desire and aroused feminine need that wafted from Judy's seething crotch and filled her dilating nostrils. But she knew a few things these men didn't know. Yes, she knew a great deal, and she was not about to "turn Judy off." Yes, she wanted this to be an experience that both of them would remember for the rest of their lives. She knew enough to prepare Judy properly before assaulting her vagina…

"All right, boys," Maria said, feigning reluctance, resignation. "If you absolutely insist, I-I'll do it, but you must let me do this my way. Stand back and give us room. Don't just hover over us like mad, lust-crazed dogs."

Hendricks and Reardon, their pricks standing upright and dribbling, moved back several paces and leered, waiting.

Maria then crawled upward from Judy's cunt, palmed the lovely breasts and whispered in her roommate's ear. "Honey, I know we didn't plan on this,x but-but what can we do? They're out of their minds and we have to do what they say. Just relax and I'll go through the motions. Sure it's a scam, but let's pretend we're enjoying it."

"Ohhh, I d-don't know," Judy stammered, "but okay, Maria…okay."

Maria then sat astride Judy, like a jockey, and began kissing her full lips as she worked gently and steadily on Judy's eager tits. She palmed the nipples, twisted them lovingly, rolled them between her fingertips, all the while licking her roommate's ear, her jugular vein.

Maria was thrilled when Judy began arching her back. Judy could not fool her. She knew Judy was intensely aroused and responding to her knowing caresses, despite herself.

"Ohhhhh, Maria!" Judy wailed, as if performing for the two males, but Maria knew different. Expertly, Maria began lightly palming Judy's pubic mound, indirectly stimulating her roommate's clitoris as she now let her mouth settle onto one of the beautiful titties.

Maria swirled her tongue about the nipple while her lower hand now ran flutteringly about Judy's inner thighs, teasing the cheeks of her ass, lightly tantalizing Judy's rectum, vaginal lips, clit.

"Ohhhh, Marlaaaaa," Judy wailed again, and Maria knew she had touched the core of this beautiful, comparatively innocent girl-innocent because she had never known the delights that one woman could deliver to another. But she was learning now. She was spasming all over, uncontrollably writhing as she stared at Maria's mouth, expertly nursing on her titties.

When Maria dared to lift Judy's legs high and press them against her shoulders, so she could see the full beauty of the young vagina, Maria was totally compliant, yielding, willing-passive beyond belief. Maria continued stimulating the swollen breasts now as she tongued, moving downward over Judy's rib cage, licking her abdomen, navel and, at last, settling her tongue onto the expanded nub of flesh at the top of Judy's snatch.

Involuntarily, Judy seized both of Maria's ears in her fists and drew her roommate deeper and harder into the craving depths of her.

"Easy, my love," Maria cooed. "There's plenty of time…the men want a nice show…it is all for show, isn't it? I mean, there's really nothing to this lovemaking of ours, is there?" Maria chuckled almost evilly, knowing Judy was out of her mind with desire.

Judy relaxed her grip and began running her fingers through Maria's long, raven-black, shiny hair. "Yesssss, it's all for show," she agreed. "J-Just for show…Ohhhhhh!"

"What do you mean, for show?" Hendricks asked, annoyed.

Maria gazed up at him, still hovering over Judy's eager vagina. She put her fingers at her lips, making a shooshing gesture. Both men stood with bulging eyes as they slowly worked their fists up and down their hard pricks. Poor Reardon held his tiny prick between his thumb and forefinger the way one might hold a very short cigarette that had burned low.

"It's just a figure of speech," Maria said to Hendricks. "I don't want to alarm young Judy. You see, she isn't used to this kind of thing."

"You mean you are?" Reardon asked, ceasing his short masturbatory strokes. He seemed disappointed at the thought that Maria might have had extensive lesbian experience.

"No, no," Maria corrected. "We're both new at this," she lied, and she made the shooshing gesture again. "Just be quiet and watch, will you please? And I might add-learn, Yes," she added, unable to control her superior smirk. "Watch and learn the very best way to make love to a female.

This comment seemed to silence them. They returned to their masturbation and studied Maria now without further interruption.

Maria now began showering Judy's gushing vagina with gentle kisses, running her nibbling lips up and down the length of her delicious, beautiful channel.

Still, as she worked methodically, she kept up her steady upper massage of Judy's heaving tits.

By now, Judy had become a helpless blob of desire. She whimpered, she cried out, she groaned, moaned, pleaded, thanked. The men watched, entranced at the skillful display of one woman making love to another.

Then, testing because she knew that all women were not exactly a-like in their preferences, Maria probed with her fingers until she discovered that Judy appreciated both internal stimulation of her vagina and rectum while a tongue lapped at her clitoris. Very tenderly, Maria inserted her middle finger in the young girl's rectum and her forefinger in the clenching, mercury-slick vagina-all the while licking, lapping, letting her tongue tip apply steady and relentless stimulation to her upper nerve center.

The preparation was over; Judy was in the throes of insane desire. Her hips began a rhythmic thrust to meet the fingers that penetrated her and the tongue that lapped at the core of her sensitivity. She bit the fingers of her own hand to muffle her hysterical outcries.

"Coming, baby?" Maria queried lovingly. "Are you? Huh? Coming soon, baby, huh? Hmmm?"

"Ahhhhhhhh," Judy replied, her hand still muffling her response. She removed her hand then. "No, not yet, but don't stop! Oh, Jesus! Maria, don't stop. DON'T STOP! JESUS!"

Hendricks and Reardon increased the tempo of their hand movements on their erect pricks. Maria was now fucking Judy hard, almost sadistically. She jabbed both fingers violently into Judy, penetrating the tight ass-hole and vagina at the same time while her tongue pressed very hard against the insanely sensitized clit. "You love it. don't you?" Maria asked, surprised at her own aggressiveness, almost terrified at the pleasure she was experiencing in delivering pleasure to this female who twisted in agonizing ecstasy beneath her.

"Tell me you love what I'm doing?" Maria fairly shrieked then, her own words foreign to her ears as they poured forth. "Tell me, Judy…Tell me!"

"I-I love it…I love it more than anything!" she managed to reply sobbingly. "I-I'm gonna come any second! Give it to me, Maria. How do you know? Ohhhhh, you know just where and when to touch everything I-I own…Jess-usss!"

And then an inspiration came to Maria. Judy was about to experience one of the most intense orgasms of her life, Maria knew. Perhaps to relieve her guilt, she should add a dash of maleness to the lovemaking. Yes, that would be wise, she thought.

"Randy! Lloyd! Both of you! Come here!" Maria cried, rising briefly from Judy's cunt, her chin covered with her roommate's lubricant.

They both ceased their masturbation and obeyed.

"Lloyd, you shove your prick in her mouth and come as soon as you can! Come fast, do you hear?"

"Sure," he said, kneeling and shoving his hard-on between the frantic Judy's lips. Judy virtually ingested Lloyd's big hard-on.

"Good," Maria said. "And you, Randy, I want you to suck on her tits while I make her come with my tongue and fingers. Keep jacking on that little prick of yours if you want, but the main thing is to suck hard on her nipples and make this one big climax, all right? Understand?"

Randolph Reardon looked hurt. "What do you mean-that 'little prick' of mine," he said. "It-it's not so little. Jesus, I know it isn't a really-"

"All right then, never mind defending yourself. Just do as I say!" Maria could not help thinking at that moment that apparently Reardon had not been in a situation lately where he could compare the size of his organ with other men's. Hell, he doesn't even realize his prick's dinky, she thought. Talk about self-deception!"

"It's not little!" Reardon protested. "Say it isn't little!"

"Very well, dear," Maria said. 'It isn't little. Anyway, what does it matter? You know I love to suck it, right? Now suck Judy's tits. Damn it, she's almost there!"

Randolph Reardon knelt and began gobbling at Judy's boobs while Judy gorged herself on Lloyd Hendricks' big wanger.

"I'm coming," Hendricks cried. "Can't hold back…gonna go off now!"

"Go ahead and shoot your wad!" Maria yelled. "Go ahead. It's probably just what she needs to put her over the edge."

Maria then returned her mouth to Judy's clit. She eyed Hendricks up above, "however, and was delighted to see his gushing, creamy-white spend overflowing from Judy's mouth. Yes, Judy was orgasming now. Her body began to buck as she swallowed as much of Hendricks' load as she could accommodate.

"I'm coming, too!" Randy yelled, like the little bear in the Three Bears crying, 'And my porridge is all gone, too!"

"Squirt your come on Judy's tits," Maria commanded, and then she mouthed Judy to a crashing, thunderous climax.

All of them relaxed then, gasping, spent and satiated-all except Maria who quickly masturbated herself to completion. It had been one of the most thrilling experiences of her life. She curled up beside Judy then and lay panting in her roommate's ear.

Chapter 8

"Mr. Roscoe Snyder to see you," came the secretary's voice over the intercom.

Lance Gregory reached across his desk, flicked the switch on the small speaker and said, "Send him in." In a moment Roscoe Snyder's huge frame appeared in the doorway. He paused, uncertain, then coughed politely-like a bear growling.

"Come in, Roscoe," Lance snapped. "Sit down. I have something special for you this time."

The huge man settled into the easy chair opposite Gregory's desk. He nervously ran one of his paws over his face, waiting. "Uh-somepum different, huh?" he growled.

"Yes," Lance replied. "There's a man I want you to beat the shit out of." Gregory smiled, awaiting Roscoe's response.

Roscoe grinned, baring his yellow teeth, and began nodding his jowly head. He looked like a chimpanzee about to be fed.

Lance watched his collection man for a moment, then held up his hands to cut off the enthusiastic, primitive demonstration of loyalty and desire to do bodily harm to his fellow man.

"Well, perhaps I don't really want you to beat the shit out of him. Mostly, I want you to scare him. I don't want a lawsuit on my hands, but you can rough him up as much as you want as long as you don't hospitalize him." Gregory grimaced, realizing he probably wasn't communicating with the "goon" who sat before him. He knew it was unwise to give Roscoe complicated instructions. Now he had given him, seemingly, contradictory instructions for dealing with Vern Shipley and he had the unfortunate task of clarifying his instructions. It was, unfortunately, a bit like explaining ethics or morality to a male hound about to mount a female in heat.

"Roscoe I want you to hit Vern Shipley in the stomach area a lot, but I-I don't want you to break any bones. Uh-when you leave him, make sure he can still walk, okay?"

Roscoe nodded, frowning. His lips moved, and finally he spoke. "Who's Vern Shipley?"

"I'll give you his address and describe him to you in detail. I don't want any mistakes like that time you beat up the wrong guy, all right?"

"Sure," Roscoe said, smarting from the implied criticism. I'll get the right guy this time. Don't you worry, boss. When? Where? Yeah, when do you want me to nail the rotten bastard?"

Roscoe always got enthused about his assignments. "I'll leave the where to you, Roscoe, although I suppose you should get him either outside his girlfriend's place or in the parking lot behind his office. He sometimes works late. I mean, I want you to get him in the dark, understand?"

Roscoe nodded. Gregory hoped Roscoe knew why dark was important, although it was dangerous to assume anything with Roscoe. Hell, Vern thought, if Roscoe weren't so loyal and willing to work for small money, I'd get somebody who had a brain.

"Why the dark?" Roscoe asked.

Gregory ran his well manicured fingers over his face and shook his head. Roscoe was unbelievable-literally (no, virtually) an ape posing as a human being. "I want you to take him in the dark because then you're less-likely to be seen. Understand?"

"Oh," Roscoe said, nodding, scrunching up his snout. "Yeah, you don't want anybody to see me and you don't want this Vern Shipley to see me either." He smiled, pleased with his reasoning powers.

"Precisely, Roscoe," Gregory said, then added, "Good boy!"

"Why-uh-why you want him roughed up, boss?"

"That's my business, Roscoe," Gregory said firmly. "This isn't a collection problem, however. I shall have the victim informed by phone why he was beaten-"

Gregory broke off then, thinking. No, he decided, perhaps it would be best to let Roscoe utter some primal grunt that would give Vern Shipley a clue. Yes, the fear aspect just might be heightened if animal "Roscoe" were to blurt out something. The only danger, of course, would be that Roscoe might utter too much. Could he be trusted? If carefully instructed, with much repetition, Gregory decided the oaf could deliver perhaps one line. No more…just one line.

"On second thought," Gregory said, "I would like you to say to Mister Shipley a little something. Let's see…"

"How about 'fuck you, lousy bastard,'" Roscoe volunteered. Grinning, he nooded, pleased with himself.

"No, no, Roscoe," Gregory said. "We want something informative."

"Informative?" Roscoe asked, confused.

"Yes, information," Gregory said. "I want you to tell him why you're beating him up. But don't knock him unconscious and tell him when he can't hear you, understand?"

"Yes, understand," Roscoe said. "Talk to him while he's awake."

"That's the idea, boy," Gregory said. "You're getting this just fine. Let's see. Tell him to lay off Maria Reese. Say it just like that. Say 'lay off Maria Reese or this is just a taste of what's going to happen.' Repeat that back to me, Roscoe."

Roscoe did, and he got the message just fine.

"Good," Gregory said, "and say nothing more. Just that."

"Okay, boss," Roscoe said, clenching and unclenching his furry fists. "Gotcha, right…"

"I think it best if you nail him tomorrow night. Wait behind his office and get him there if it's dark. Otherwise, follow him to either his girlfriend's place or his own place." Gregory handed Roscoe a slip of paper with the necessary addresses typed on it, and Roscoe put the paper in his pocket.

Then, Gregory handed Roscoe a photo of Vern Shipley-a photo that had been taken by the disguised camera in Dream-Date's reception room on the day Vern Shipley had first visited Gregory.

"That's your man," Gregory said. "Don't make any mistakes. Just tell him what we said and get the hell away."

Roscoe Snyder examined the photo carefully, nodding and snarling at it. He seemed to do everything but sniff the photo for a scent of Vern Shipley.

Gregory could not help laughing, nor could he prevent the comment that now came from his lips. "Good boy," he said. "Now go…go get him…Beat him up tomorrow night…when it's dark!"

Nodding, Roscoe rose and trotted for the door.

There he stopped. "Money?" he said. "When do I get the money?"

"As soon as you've completed your assignment," Gregory said. "When you've beaten him up in the dark without getting caught, I will pay you-same as always, okay?"

"Okay," Roscoe said. "Yeah, same as always." He turned to leave.

"Wait a minute!" Gregory called. "Who is it you don't know? Who is it you never even heard of?"

Roscoe grinned. He knew the answer to the question and he proudly said, "You…I never heard of you…or Dream-Date."

"Good boy, Roscoe. So long," Gregory said. "Do a nice job and I'll introduce you to a nice girl."

Roscoe nodded, beaming, and left.

Gregory sat contemplating this idea of introducing Roscoe to a female. He had made the promise as a joke, but it occurred to him now that sicing Roscoe on Maria Reese might be an interesting situation. He sat up straight then, shaking his head. But no, he thought, Maria is just freaky enough to enjoy a baboon like Roscoe!

Still it would be fun to watch the two of them going at it-or better yet-it would be fun to watch Roscoe raping Judy Thor! After all, Judy Thor had been just as disobedient and conniving in this Vern Shipley business as had Maria. Yes, it would be interesting to give these possibilities some thought.

Gregory dismissed the thought for the moment, however, and let his mind wander over these past few weeks. Vernon Shipley…Maria's increased involvement with the man despite the fact that he, Lance Gregory, president of Dream-Date Incorporated had broken the contract with Shipley…

Just two weeks had passed since he had slapped Maria around for working "fee-free" deals with Shipley. What the hell was wrong with Maria, anyway? He had educated her, paid her good money, made what seemed to be a lady out of her. And now she was repaying him by cheating Dream-Date out of its rightful fee. Did she really believe a man of Vernon Shipley's caliber would marry her? Did she really believe Vern could not see through the facade after a few weeks and detect a girl of low upbringing-a girl of the streets? Scowling, Gregory pondered this. Perhaps Maria had fooled him, or perhaps she had not fooled him, but he did not care. She certainly was one helluva lay.

And then Lance Gregory felt a gnawing sensation in the pit of his stomach. "Goddamit!" he cursed aloud. He had allowed Maria Reese to get to him. He had permitted one of Dream-Date's girls to do to him what he had sworn would never happen! Yes, he felt certain he was in love with Maria-trite, syrupy, saccharine 'love."

Angrily, Lance Gregory slammed his fist down on the desk top. It infuriated him that the girl he would award his love to could cheat on him, could secretly meet with a client and assist him without charging him the customary fee. For weeks now, Maria and Judy Thor had been servicing Ralph Reardon and Randolph Hendricks and even that old man, Wyatt-of Wyatt Enterprises. He had slapped Maria around, secured her promise to break off with Vernon Shipley, and still she chose to rendezvous with him. Christ, could Shipley be a better lay than he was?

This thought frightened Lance Gregory. It seemed incomprehensible to him that the girl he had tutored so carefully in sex acts designed to appeal to her innermost nature could enjoy sex more with another man. Well, he decided, he would wait and see what effect Roscoe's little visit to Vern Shipley would yield before he took more drastic punitive action.

But he would not wait much longer while Maria continued allowing her body to be Vern Shipley's-for free! No, if Roscoe Synder's beating did not put an end to their affair, Maria Reese would meet with an abrupt and permanent end. Permanent and painful…

It was late in the afternoon when Lance Gregory's secretary informed him that Judy Thor had come in. "She's gone back to the waiting room," the secretary informed her boss.

The waiting room was a lavishly furnished suite with a sauna bath, Jacuzzi, stereo, color TV, everything. It was the place where the girls relaxed while waiting for interviews or new assignments. Lance Gregory entered the waiting room and found Judy Thor lying on the slant board, relaxing.

"Hi, Lance," she said, "Anything up? I just came from my luncheon date with Max Brawith. Went fine. I dazzled his clients."

"Good," Gregory said. "Say, kid, I'd like you to take a little drive with me, okay?"

Judy got off the slant board and looked at her boss quizzically. "Sure," she replied, looking surprised. "To what do I owe the special treatment?"

"Oh, you'll find out," Gregory said. "Come on, dear."

Outside, the two of them got into Gregory's Rolls Royce, drove down Wilshire, and then they swung off and started up Benedict Canyon.

"You live on Benedict Canyon, don't you?" Judy asked.

"Ummm-hmmm," Gregory said, not taking his eyes from the road as they rounded the mountainous curves.

"Are we going by your place?" Judy asked.

"Yes, I want to stop off there for a moment," he said noncommittally. "You don't mind, do you?"

Judy forced a laugh. "No, not at all. I've never seen your place from the inside." She giggled. "One of the other girls and I drove by once, though," she admitted. "I can hardly wait to see it. I hear it's really something-almost like the Playboy mansion."

Gregory laughed. "Well, that's a bit of an exaggeration," he said. "But it is nice. You'll see."

A huge metal gate flanked by two tall flagstone edifices guarded the entrance to the driveway of Lance Gregory's Canyon home. Gregory hit a switch on the dashboard and the metal gates parted. The car rounded several curves then came to a halt in front of what resembled, to Judy Thor, an English castle.

"Wow!" she said, then whistled. Suddenly she cringed. "But I-I don't understand," she said. "Maria's never been here. W-Why me?"

Gregory smiled mysteriously, then opened the door for her. "Come on, my love," he said. "I'll take you for a tour."

Inside, the house resembled homes Judy had seen only in the Home Section of the Sunday newspaper. There was everything luxurious imaginable-two enormous fireplaces in the living room, a huge bar, expensive oil paintings on the walls, chandeliers and exquisite sculpture-statues everywhere.

"All this from Dream-Date?" Judy asked.

"That and other enterprises," Gregory said, smiling his enigmatic smile. "Drink?"

"yes, I'd love one. Scotch, please."

Gregory fixed the drinks and then, ice cubes tinkling in their glasses, they continued their tour of the house. Finally, Gregory led her downstairs into a basement. When he closed the door behind her, Judy froze, terrified. "God, what is this?" Her voice echoed in the huge concrete room. "It's not a-a torture chamber, is it?" She forced a laugh.

"Of course not," Gregory replied. "But many of my friends do get their 'kicks' here when I throw my parties."

"Funny," Judy said. "It looks sort of like a-a torture chamber.

"That's just decor," he said, surveying the manacles on the walls-a few medieval pieces left over from the Spanish Inquisition. "It's never been used before."

They passed then into another, smaller room that was comfortable-looking. There were couches, chairs, pads on the floor. But there were what appeared to be wrist clamps alongside the pads. Judy began back-stepping. "I-I want to leave, Lance. I don't like this."

And then Lance Gregory's voice grew ominous. "That's true," he said. "You might not like it at all. We'll see. Judy, I've brought you here for justice."

"Justice?"

"Ummm-hmmm. I've brought you here to impress upon you the fact that you must never, never again be disloyal to your employer."

"I-I don't understand," Judy stammered.

"Don't you? Then why have you and Maria continued to work for Vernon Shipley-screwing those prospective clients of his-after I asked you to stop."

"We did stop, Lance. Honest," Judy said.

Lance slapped her hard with the back of his hand. "Liar! All right, bitch. Now we're going to give you a slight treatment that should cause you to break off with this fee-free after hours activity."

"Please Lance… No! Judy screamed then, but it was to no avail. Lance Gregory quickly tore nor clothing from her and tossed her down on one of the thin pads. He clamped her hands in the restraints.

"Usually, my guests can take their pleasure leisurely here with one another-sexually-but today that pretty little body of yours is going to get a workout you'll not soon forget."

"Lance, noooooo," Judy wailed. "Please, I'll never fool around again. Let me go, Lance. This is insane!"

Now Lance Gregory had her wrists and ankles locked firmly into the manacles. He let her twist frantically while he fetched from a drawer the longest, penis-like vibrator she had ever seen. And then as he drew closer, Judy saw that he held several vibrators and a jar of what appeared to be thick lubricant. Yes, she saw that it was vaseline, or something like vaseline.

"You may never be the same again after this," Gregory said sadistically as he began applying the lubricant to her rectum and vagina. "Try to relax, my dear. Who knows? You may even love this. Yes, you'd be surprised how many women do."

Judy let out a long scream.

"It will do no good," Lance said. "I assure you nobody can hear you. As a matter-of-fact, I rather like the screams. It enhances the pleasure. First I'm going to sit on top of your chest and make you suck my cock. Perhaps if you do a good job I shall spare you a little of the other-"

"Please, Lance…No. Oh please..

"Will you suck my prick as you've never sucked a prick before then?"

"Yessss," Judy said. "Yes, anything!"

"You're goddam right you will, swindling bitch! You'll munch on my hard-on while I shove it half way down your throat."

Lance Gregory was astride her rib cage now, holding his dribbling, pulsing hard-on. He poked at her breasts for a moment, and Judy began to wonder just what she had been so frightened about. After all, this wasn't anything new to her. So what if she sucked his prick? It was big, sure, but she had sucked even bigger ones.

But then, as he slipped it between her lips, she knew this was going to be different. He was shoving it in to the hilt! She began gagging, and still he crammed harder, harder, mercilessly making her retch from the vicious probes of his bulbous cockhead. She could not cry out. She could barely breathe as the prick jabbed fiercely-actually beginning to slide down her constricting throat!

"I'm doing one of the worst things imaginable to you, my dear," Gregory muttered. "I'm giving you the aversion treatment. Yes, when I get through with you-you may never wish to suck a prick again. And that will be your downfall! No man will want you then!"

Gregory laughed crazily then, tossing his head back and roaring up at the ceiling as he stuffed his prick into the tight, constricting throat farther, farther.

Now, just when she feared she would choke to death, Judy felt the longest of the vibrators penetrating her vagina. The buzzing instrument entered easily at first, but then it continued upward, upward, until it began to inflict pain. Terrible pain…pain Judy had never experienced before. But she could not cry out. Her mouth was filled with the enormous hard-on that pressed and drove savagely into her throat.

Next, the smaller prick-shaped vibrator slid into her rectum, and it also pressed upward until she felt intense pain. She wanted to scream, but she could not!

"You will never cheat Dream-Date again, right?" Gregory suddenly asked. "Nod if you agree!"

Judy nodded.

"And you will never meet with clients without reporting those meetings to me, correct? Nod if you agree!"

Despite the intense pain that surged through her throat, her vagina, her rectum, Judy Thor managed to nod.

"Good," Gregory said, easing up on his penetration of all her apertures then. He withdrew the vibrators halfway so that they still buzzed within her lower orifices but no longer inflicted pain. In fact, now, in contrast, they seemed to be delivering pleasure, which amazed Judy. Had he planned this all along? she wondered. God, could pain, followed by a reduction of that pain, be followed by what seemed to be pleasure? Good God, yes!

Judy began pumping slowly with her hips, savoring the feeling of the buzzing instruments within her ass-hole and cunt. Lance Gregory had eased up on his thrusts into her throat with his prick now, too, and she found herself nursing hungrily on his tool. She did not know whether she was doing this to please him, so that he would release her, or whether she genuinely enjoyed it. The responses of her body, along with her normal thought processes, had been so distorted she was behaving in a manner that frightened her. But she did seem to be enjoying the ass-fucking and cunt-fucking at the same time with the vibrators. Yes, enjoying it…enjoying it very much.

Just then Lance Gregory withdrew his immense organ from her mouth and asked, "like it now, girl? How do you like it?"

To her amazement, Judy found herself saying, chanting really, "I love it…love it. Ohhhhh, don't stop, Lance. Spear me, fuck me…and please come in my mouth!"

Again, Judy Thor was not certain whether her response was one of fear. All she knew was that she was enjoying this tremendously-every bit of it. Had some primitive hope for survival caused her to enjoy this mistreatment of her body, so that Lance Gregory would spare her? She did not know.

"Swallow my come now, Judy!" Lance Gregory commanded.

"Yes, Lance," Judy heard herself sighing. "Ohhhh, yessss."

And then Lance drove his engorged shaft steadily between her lips until he climaxed so that she could greedily gulp down his creamy load. Judy drank deeply, affectionately, loving the tangy flavor of her captor's evil sperm-flow.

As he drove her back to Dream-Date Incorporated, Lance explained that he had given her a "mild treatment." To avoid what he described as the most horrible treatment a female could imagine, he suggested she refrain from further contact with Vern Shipley and his clients.

Her head on his shoulder as he drove the curving road, Judy swore she would remain loyal to her employer forever.

Chapter 9

Roscoe Snyder stood peering through the tall hedge that separated the alley from the parking lot. It was dark and, finally, the light in Vernon Shipley's office went out. Roscoe emitted a little snort of satisfaction. His vigil had been long and he had grown impatient for his target to get within arm's length. In a moment, Vern Shipley would approach his car, and then Roscoe would strike, following Lance Gregory's instructions-leaving his victim battered but alive, writhing in pain but conscious on the asphalt surface of the parking lot.

Roscoe waited-doing a little dance with his feet, and impatiently grinding his fist in his coarse palm. "Argh…Erghmm," he growled. Finally, two men appeared, exiting from the rear door of the tall building. One of the men was Vern Shipley. Roscoe began thumping his fist hard in his palm, eager to complete his mission. Who was the other man? Roscoe did not know. He hoped the two men did not both come to Vern Shipley's car. He would not know what to do if that happened. No, he had not been instructed to attack two men. He hoped Vern Shipley came to the car alone. "Errr…Arrghh," Roscoe growled.

"Goodnight Stan," Vern called, and the two men parted, each heading in a different direction. "I'm gonna run over to Ellen's now. Haven't seen her in a while. I'd better give her a break."

"Glad to hear that, Vern," Stan said. "Give her my best. She may not be a showpiece, like that Maria, but she's a mighty fine woman."

The man called Stan waved to Vernon Shipley, and then Shipley came closer, closer to his car. Roscoe blinked rapidly, still doing his little prizefighter-like dance, and glanced anxiously at the man called Stan. "Urrr…Erghmmm," Roscoe purred.

Fortunately, Stan's car was much closer to the building exit than Vern's. Stan drove away before Vernon Shipley reached his car. This made Roscoe glad. Yes, it made things simple and he understood simple things. Now he could 'take' his adversary without interference from anyone. Yes, the parking lot was deserted, except for Vernon Shipley and Roscoe Snyder.

Now Vernon reached into his pocket, withdrew his keys and inserted the key into the door lock. Quickly, Roscoe parted the hedge, stepped through and walked briskly and quickly to Vernon Shipley. Vern did not see his assailant. At the instant Roscoe grabbed him, he tried to turn his head but Roscoe clamped his forearm hard about his prey's windpipe, and Vernon Shipley could not even steal a glance at the mountain of muscle that now held him.

Roscoe decided to deliver his message now-before he forgot it or got so excited he said either too much or too little. "Uh-stay away from Maria, or this is just a taste of what's gonna happen to you, buddy," Roscoe muttered.

Vern tried to free himself, but Roscoe just held on harder. Roscoe decided to weaken his victim with steady choking before going to work on him. He pressed his forearm very hard against Vern's throat until he felt Vern's knees beginning to give way. Then, reveling in the gurgling sounds his captive made, Roscoe began the work he loved.

Suddenly he released Vern, but before Vern could turn or even drop to one knee and regain his breath, Roscoe brought his huge forearm down hard against Vern's back, just below the neck. There was a whooshing exhale of air, a muffled groan, and Vern fell face first onto the asphalt.

Roscoe circled his victim, emitting chimpanzee sounds, bobbing his head up and down, and then he reached down and picked Vern up by the lapels of his suit coat.

"Muthah-fuckah," Roscoe growled. "Bastard…Son of a bitch!"

Roscoe hurled Vern hard against his car, then drove a vicious blow to Vern's solar plexus. Vern emitted a pained grunt and Roscoe smiled. He liked this playing "punching bag" with a human being. He loved to beat up "bad" people when he got paid for it. It was new to him, though, this holding back. He was used to striking with all his might.

"Rotten prick!" Roscoe muttered and drove his left fist into Vern's stomach. Roscoe backed up then, shuffled his feet nimbly and dabbed at his nose with his thumbs. "I'm just toyin' with ya, muthah fuckah," he said. "I could take ya easy, but the boss said to take it easy."

Suddenly a memory from long ago entered Roscoe's muddled brain. He heard the crowd cheering, saw the faces at ringside snarling and calling for blood. "Yeah, I could take ya easy, buddy, but the boss said to keep ya on your feet 'til the tenth round."

Roscoe suddenly forgot that Lance Gregory had instructed him to strike only Vern's body. Dancing, he landed two light left jabs to Vern Shipley's face. Vern rolled with the punches, futilely trying to ward off the light blows. A harder one landed on his left cheek, practically spinning him around. He started to sag, but Roscoe caught him under the arms.

Now, momentarily, Roscoe had returned to reality, the present. "You fall and I'll stomp you to death, prick," he said. "Stand up and take it like a man, bastard. You stay on your feet or you'll be sorry, hear?"

Vern nodded, valiantly holding onto the side of his car with his forearms, gripping helplessly at the smooth metal with his fingers.

Roscoe landed two more light jabs, then drove a punishing right fist, with his full weight behind it, into Vern's rib cage. Vern sagged, seeing stars. Roscoe slapped him, warning him again that if he did not stay on his feet he would be "stomped."

Vern widened his stance and held his arms against his ribs to protect himself against the hard blows to his midsection. He lowered his head at the same time and placed his fists at his cheeks. It did no good. Roscoe would drive a hard blow to his waist, dropping Vern's guard, and then he would jab at Vern's cheeks, eyes, chin, forehead. Vern felt blood Welding from several wounds on his face.

Vern did not know how much longer he would be able to hang on. He feared he would lose consciousness and be "stomped," so he concentrated with everything he could muster to remain on his feet while this giant babbled insanely and alternately sent blows to his face and body. After a while, he realized that for some reason his assailant struck his face much more lightly than his body. But this was small consolation and no help, for even the facial blows were drawing blood and snapping his head back. Still, he felt if he could protect his stomach area he might be able to hold on and avoid getting "stomped."

But how would it end? Vern thought, blood clogging his throat. Would this madman suddenly stop and walk away? Or would he finally permit him to come to merciful rest on the asphalt? He did not know, and this not knowing was even more painful, in a way, than was this beating he was taking.

"Almost the tenth round baby," Roscoe grunted, dancing, firing lefts and rights, first high, then low-toying with his soft and helpless opponent. "Hey, baby, you're outta shape. You're nothin' but a pussycat. Shit, I could drop you anytime I want, but the boss says to keep you on your feet 'til the tenth."

Roscoe actually heard his seconds calling from his corner now. The sights and sounds of the arena he had known so well were all there as he played cat-and-mouse with this pushover opponent.

Roscoe stopped dancing for a moment. Vern's mouth was moving, but no sound was coming out. Roscoe leaned forward to hear whatever plea for mercy his enemy was uttering.

"Please…please," the voice managed to whisper. "I-I won't s-see Maria again."

"Damn right you won't, bastard," Roscoe spat, and slapped his opponent hard. Once again he had returned briefly to the now.

Vern Shipley gestured for Roscoe to come closer. His lips were moving, but Roscoe could not hear. Roscoe leaned close, grinning evilly, loving the helplessness of his victim. "What, bastard, what?"

And then, suddenly, with all the energy left to him, Vern brought up his knee to Roscoe's crotch. Even as his kneecap landed Vern knew he had missed the mark. Unfortunately, the blow landed to the right of the giant's testicles-caught him on the upper leg.

Roscoe growled loudly, more angered by the blow than hurt. "So you had to play cute, eh? You had to play games with Roscoe, didn't you? Well, muthah-fuckah, now the tenth round is here. Big Roscoe's gonna deck you!"

The rain of body blows came hard and fast now. Vern felt himself blacking out. He wondered if his ribs were cracked. He couldn't tell. For some insane reason, he found himself thinking that he couldn't make love to Maria if his ribs were cracked. That seemed to be his main concern as his head snapped from side to side from the big fists and his intestines cramped with each blow.

And then he didn't feel anything…he didn't care if he fell or not…he knew he was slipping into, unconsciousness, but he didn't care…couldn't care…couldn't help it if he got stomped or not…

Roscoe stared down at his fallen opponent. There was no bell ending the tenth round and for a moment this confused him. In a moment, he returned quietly to the present. He glanced furtively about, but nobody was in sight. He nudged the unconscious figure on the asphalt with the toe of his shoe, but there was no response. He hoped he hadn't gone too far. Kneeling, he placed his hairy ear against Vern Shipley's chest. He smiled. There was a heartbeat.

Vern Shipley's keys were still in the door. Roscoe opened the door, then lifted Vern up and tossed him in the front seat. He put the keys in the ignition, closed the door and left.

He felt good-triumphant-as he drove slowly down

Wilshire Boulevard. But something was missing. There was no immediate reward-nobody to congratulate him or pat him on the back. He remembered Vern's telling the man called Stan that he was going to "Ellen's house." He remembered that one of the names on the slip of paper Lance Gregory had given him read "Ellen Lanning." His instructions had been to attack Vernon Shipley either at his office or, near Ellen Lanning's place.

Grinning, he knew not quite why, Roscoe pulled into a service station and went to the nearby telephone booth. Information gave him Ellen Lanning's number. He dialed the number, it rang twice, and a female voice said, "Hello?"

"H-Hi," Roscoe said. "Your friend, Vernon Shipley? Well, he won't be able to make it tonight," Roscoe said, giggling.

"Who is this?" the woman said. "Why won't Vern be here?"

"He had a little accident," Roscoe said, barely able to speak he laughed so hard. "Uh-maybe he will make it, though. Later, I mean. He told me to tell you he'll be late. Maria, will you please be quiet!" Roscoe called, raising his face slightly from the telephone mouthpiece. "Shut up, Maria!"

Roscoe reminded himself of clever people on television and in the movies at this moment. He was really being funny, really clever. He had never imagined he could be so clever as to play such a funny trick on anybody.

"Who is this?" the woman called Ellen said firmly. "I demand to know. Who is this-this Maria? What's happened to Vernon?"

Doubling up with laughter, Roscoe hung up and staggered to his car. He sat behind the wheel giggling for several minutes before his very slow-working brain dictated his next course of action. Go and see the woman, his brain said. See the woman of the man you just beat up. You were the winner…more man than him. At least go and spy on her.

Roscoe nodded, guffawing as he pulled his car out of the service station. Ten minutes later, he found the big, expensive-looking condominium building on Wilshire Boulevard. He went inside and found Ellen Lanning's name on one of the mail boxes. Then he went to her floor on the elevator, got out and walked down the hall.

Standing before her door, he started to knock, then changed his mind. There was a fire escape door just a few doors away. He went to the fire escape door, opened it and stepped out onto a kind of terrace. Directly next to him was the terrace to Ellen Lanning's apartment. The drapes were partly open. Leaning over the waist-high wall, he found he could look directly into Ellen Lanning's living room. Suddenly his heart caught in his throat as he sighted Ellen, naked and staring into the huge mirror above the dining room table. She cupped her breasts, gazing seductively into her reflection. Then, apparently upset or angry, she went to her telephone and called someone named Marg.

To Marg, Ellen revealed that she was very upset because Vern was going to be late. She told Marg that some idiot had telephoned her to say Vern would be late. "And after I planned this evening so carefully," she said, exasperated. "Vern hasn't seen me since I lost weight, and I wanted this to be a honeymoon sort of night together for us."

Ellen listened for a while, then said: "Yes, I suppose you're right. I-I'll just have to wait until he arrives-no matter when that isl What choice do I have?"

Angry, sighing, Ellen hung up the phone then. She resumed the admiring of her naked body in the mirror, fondling her large breasts, running her hand flut-teringly over her tummy,, buttocks, inner thighs.

Roscoe began to breathe very hard, and his prick rose and pressed hard against the wall. This Ellen was a little chubby, despite the fact she'd lost weight, but she looked very good to Roscoe. You destroyed her man, his brain said. She's your woman, Roscoe. You're the champ and she's your woman.

Roscoe began massaging his aching hard-on with his hand as he stared at the naked Ellen cavorting before the mirror.

"How do you like your sweetheart?" Ellen said to herself. "Vernon, I lost weight just for you, darling. Now you'll love fucking your sweetheart more than ever!"

"Fuck Vernon!" Roscoe snarled. "I beat him…I beat him!"

Roscoe was just about to go back inside and down the hall to Ellen's apartment when there came a knock at Ellen's door. Roscoe cursed the intruder, whoever it was. He had decided to boldly knock on Ellen's door himself, and now someone had cheated him of this woman. "Muthah fuckah," Roscoe muttered quietly, his eyes narrowed as he waited to see who the intruder might be. It could not be Vern Shipley, he told himself. Or could it? No, after the beating he'd given Vern, the man couldn't possibly have driven to Ellen's so soon.

Ellen went quickly to the door, still naked! Obviously, she had expected Vernon Shipley, for she flung the door open wide and cried, "Darling!"

She shrank then, covering her bare breasts with her arms and closing the door to just an open crack. Then, reluctantly, after a brief conversation, she let the party in and ran quickly to her robe.

The visitor was Maria Reese! Roscoe's hard-on instantly dwindled away to nothing. What was Maria Reese doing here? he wondered. As far as he knew, Maria and Ellen had never met!

This turned out to be true, for Maria Reese then introduced herself as Vern Shipley's girlfriend. In her robe now, Ellen Lanning answered, "That's odd. You see, I'm Vern's girlfriend."

Maria merely laughed, making herself comfortable on the couch, and the two women began verbally gouging at each other. Roscoe frowned, trying to understand their conversation. It was almost as if the two women were speaking in a foreign language he did not understand. They were smiling at each other, but they seemed to be arguing, and yet they weren't arguing…it was all very confusing to Roscoe. Sarcasm? He wasn't sure.

And then a strange thing happened. Suddenly Ellen burst into tears and cried, "I-I knew there had to be another woman, but-but I didn't think you'd be so beautiful!"

Ellen's robe parted, revealing her bountiful, bare breasts. Roscoe swallowed, feasting his eyes on Ellen's beauties, and then to his amazement, Maria rose and went over and sat down beside Ellen. "Now, now," Maria said. "I'm not all that beautiful, dear. Vern is a man, after all. We must remember that And you know how men are. They-they seem to need more than one woman. You're a very attractive woman, Ellen. I thought so that first night I saw you at the Mediterranean Restaurant remember?"

Ellen nodded. "Yes, that's right. I do remember. I thought I'd seen you somewhere before."

Ellen continued whimpering, the tears flowing down her cheeks. Roscoe was surprised to see Maria begin massaging Ellen's back and actually kissing her cheekl They conversed very softly as Maria continued caressing Ellen, and suddenly Maria had her hand on Ellen's bare breasts.

"You're very lovely, dear," Maria was saying. "I can't imagine why Vern would ever go looking for another female if he already had you. Ummm, you're very smooth, my dear. Yes, and you have lovely nipples."

Ellen was gasping now as she permitted herself to be laid out on the couch. Maria stretched out beside her, quickly baring her own breasts, and then the two women were rubbing their breasts together and kissing.

Roscoe could not believe his eyes. What would his boss say if he knew his girlfriend was queer? Roscoe had once seen a movie in which two women made love, but he thought girls only did that to please certain freaky men. He did not believe women really did that sort of thing. But they were doing it all right Once again, Roscoe found his prick standing out straight-throbbing, pulsing, fully aroused. He felt repulsed, shocked, but for some reason the two girls' playing with each other's tits and kissing each other had him wanting to burst into the room, announce he was their savior, and fuck both of them.

"Ohhhhh," Ellen was sighing loudly now, "Maria, Maria, Maria…you seem to know just where to touch! You-you're so beautiful, too. I never thought I would touch any woman much less such a-a perfect example of femininity. Your breasts are-are simply purr-fect!"

"Yes, dear," Maria replied, "they are! Go ahead and play with them. You see, there's a little bit of-of lesbian in all of us, isn't there? Don't fight it, dear. Give vent to all your natural feelings. You may do whatever you want with my body. Satisfy your innermost desires, my love."

"We've had the same man, Maria," Ellen sighed, nuzzling her gulping mouth at Maria's perfect boobs. "Now we have each other!"

"Go ahead and nurse on them," Maria said. "You know you want to, so why fight it. Go ahead, hon."

While Ellen drew each of Maria's huge nipples alternately into her mouth and sucked hard, Maria briskly massaged Ellen's extended nipples and began fingering her silken nest. Suddenly, Ellen spread her legs wide to give Maria's lower hand total access. "Finger my cunt!" she begged. "Oh, yessss…finger fuck me…you're so beautiful, Maria! I feel I want to do everything to your body. I never felt this way with a woman before."

"Perfectly natural, dear," Maria said. "Keep sucking on my titties while I work my finger inside that juicy puss. Ummm, nice, eh?"

"Yesssssss," Ellen replied. "It's as good as anything I-I ever experienced." And then she broke off and resumed gobbling on Maria's tits.

Slowly, reluctantly, Ellen then let her hand run up Maria's shapely leg to her cunt. "I have to finger you, too!" she cried.

Maria cut her off, returning her mouth to her heaving bosom. "Just keep sucking!" Maria commanded firmly. "Of course, you'll finger my pussy. Why not? The idea is to take each other to paradise."

Now Maria's finger was working very rapidly against Ellen's clitoris, and Ellen was lifting her buttocks high off the cushions of the couch, thrusting fiercely to increase the friction between her dripping pussy and Maria's skilled fingers. Ellen's hand began working harder against Maria's pussy, too, and both women groaned and sighed ecstatically.

Roscoe could restrain himself no longer. He reached for the top of his zipper, opened his fly and let his dribbling erection flop free. Slowly, he began masturbating as he feasted his eyes on the strangest sex scene he had ever witnessed. And then, what had first disappointed him, fascinated him immensely. Ellen suddenly hurled Maria from the couch onto the floor. "Lesbian bitch!" Ellen screamed. She jumped up and began pacing the floor, her hair in her hands, nostrils flared, looking more guilty than angry. "Oh, God, what were we doing? It's Vern I want…I want Vern, not you!"

"Bullshit!" Maria spat. "You love what we were doing. Come on, don't ruin this chance of a lifetime to find out what les love is really like, baby!"

Maria advanced on Ellen, but Ellen shoved her away. "No, no-I kept thinking of Vern, kept wanting to fondle his beautiful prick. You can't fuck me, Maria. Only a man can do that. True, you have beautiful breasts-a beautiful body-but you don't have a prick! I need a man with a prick to make me happy. No amount of skillful manipulation can replace the strong hip thrusts of a male-Vern's hip thrusts. Now get out!"

Ellen held her face in her hands, sobbing, while Maria laughed mockingly, "Oh, brother," Maria drawled. "Now I've heard everything. Dear, all you have is a case of sorority house guilt. Don't worry, the urge will return. You've had a taste of woman's love and you'll never be able to forget it. My name's in the book. Yes, perhaps when you haven't had any sex for a while-because Vern will be fucking me-you'll change your tune." Maria turned to leave then. She paused at the door, straightening her clothing. "And don't bother to tell Vern about this. He'll never believe you, and I'll simply deny the entire scene."

Roscoe suddenly knew what he would do the instant Maria had departed. He would rape Ellen! Yes, she had been aroused to a fever pitch by that pervert, Maria. And she had screamed her need for a man. Well, Vern was lying half-unconscious in the front seat of his car. He, Roscoe, had been the victor, and so he would fuck Ellen. She would be his prize. Roscoe's prick pulsed in his hand as he waited for Maria to leave. Fuck Ellen, he thought. Gonna stick my winners prick right between-her legs.

"Get out!" Ellen screamed. "You-you pervert! Get out! Get out this minute!"

Maria simply smirked and slowly closed the door behind her.

Roscoe waited until he was certain Maria had left the hallway, and then he slipped his prick back inside his pants and stuffed it up under his belt so it wouldn't show. He knocked lightly on Ellen's door. No answer. Roscoe scowled and thought: She probably thinks it's Maria coming back to eat her box. He knocked again, and then he rang the doorbell.

At last the door opened a crack. Instantly, giving Ellen no time to recognize him or slam the door shut, Roscoe gave a mighty shoulder shove and forced the door open. Ellen fell backward onto the floor, screaming.

Roscoe clamped his hand over her mouth and let his full weight press upon her. It had all happened so fast he was certain she had not observed his face. Now he held her naked body in his hands, and he buried his snout in the valley of her tits and gulped greedily while he pried her legs apart with his knee.

"You said you wanted a man," Roscoe muttered. "I heard you. Well, I'm a man, and I'm gonna give you that big prick you were talking about. Now stop fighting me and let's fuck."

Roscoe could not understand why a woman would reject a woman, then, excited sexually, turn down a man with a hard-on.

"Stop it, you-you stupid animal!" Ellen cried, raking his face with her fingernails. "You'll go to prison for this. Stop it! Get out!"

Roscoe lay between her spread legs now, and he began forcing his prick into Ellen's juicy cunt. Why was she fighting him? He could not understand it. "Better relax, sugar," he panted. "I'm gonna stick this thing inside that hot cunt of yours. I been watchin' you and that Maria and I never been so hot before. You want my stiff pecker, so relax and enjoy it. Fuck, yeah…fuck…fuck."

Suddenly Roscoe felt Ellen cease struggling. She lay limp, overpowered, and she permitted him to spread her legs still farther apart. "You win," she said, sobbing but resigned. "You're right. I can't fight you, but would you please make it fast? I assure you I shan't enjoy this."

"Oh, yeah?" Roscoe said. "We'll see. You said you wanted a man's prick-well, here it is!"

As he drove his engorged rod into the depths of this woman pinned to the carpet, Roscoe tugged at her ass hard. She emitted a sharp cry of pain, but after steady coaxing with his hand on her smooth ass, she fell into a steady rhythm.

"You stupid animal," she said, but then, as he speared her and bent his head down to lap at her erect nipples as he screwed, her voice changed. She still said, "Animal…Animal," but the words became a song, a breathy chant that coaxed and teased and pleaded for more and harder thrusts. Finally, Ellen was raising her ass high off the floor and crying, "Fuck me, you goddam animal! Ohhhh, fuck me with that animal prick of yours!"

Roscoe gave her everything he had, slamming their pelvises hard together, gouging at her ass that was wet with cunt-lubricant.

"Fuck me, you goddam rapist animal!" Ellen cried again and again.

Roscoe wasn't sure he liked being called a rapist animal, but there was no time for anger now. No, the pussy he now fucked felt too hot and too good. "Anhh…argh…ough…anng," Ellen was grunting as she rose her ass high to take all of his flesh spear she could get. Her nails dug hard into his back, but Roscoe didn't care. He liked the feeling. It meant he was driving this pussy crazy…fucking this cunt better than any man ever had probably…

Roscoe saw victory as he fucked. He saw crowds cheering him just as they had during his prizefighting days. He was a man again, the victor, the triumphant fucking-male-king-champion he had always wanted to be.

"Fuck me, you goddam rapist animal," Ellen was still grunting through clenched teeth.

And then Roscoe decided to give her more. What he had been doing wasn't enough, no. This woman wanted more. He decided to fuck her in the ass. He had never done that before, but he wanted to maybe fuck her in a way Vernon Shipley hadn't fucked her. He withdrew his big shaft, flopped her over on her stomach and began stuffing his organ in her rectum. He expected her to cry out, to protest, but instead she simply said: "Wonderful! How could you know I wanted it this way? Yes, yes! Fuck my ass-hole, you rapist madman! Fuck me just the way Vern does! But you have to rub my clit at the same time. Here, I'll slide up on my hands and knees so you can reach my love nub nice and easy. Ohhh, yesss, right there…just like that…Ummmmm…"

Suddenly Roscoe no longer felt like the triumphant animal. This woman was telling him exactly how to make love to her-telling him to make love to her the way Vernon Shipley made love to her! Although he was furious, he nevertheless continued to rub Ellen's clitoris as he slammed his hard-on as hard as he could into her rectum.

Try as he might, he could not hurt her. She loved every mighty thrust of his weapon. He removed his finger from her clit and held her hips in both his hands, then slammed his prick at her from all directions. Still she sighed and wailed about how good it felt! She didn't even complain about his stopping the stimulation of her clit. What kind of woman was this Ellen?

"I'm coming!" Ellen cried. "I'm having my special rear-door kind of come. Ohhhhh, it's sooo beau-teeefulll! Don't stop! Fuck harder…harder!"

Roscoe wanted to stop at that moment. He wanted to deprive her of the orgasm she threatened to have. But he could not, for he was coming now himself. Tingles ran up and down his spine, his muscles were spasming, twitching. He stared down at his prick entering and exiting the round, slightly chubby ass, and then his load went flying. He hoped, in a way, that he had cheated this Ellen out of her orgasm. But just as he came, Ellen screamed and began rolling her head crazily round and round.

She had come, damn her. He had fucked her, but it had been Vern Shipley she had wanted all along. He let his full weight he on her until he had regained his breath. Then he bit her hard on the shoulder, slapped her and stood up to leave.

"Don't look at me, bitch," he said. "Don't you dare look back at me or try to call for help while I'm leaving. I-I'll kill you if you do. I'll kill you and that mo-thah-fuckah, Vernon Shipley."

Roscoe Snyder pulled his pants up, straightened himself up and quickly departed.

Chapter 10

Grimacing, Vern Shipley leaned back in his desk chair. The elastic belt that supported his cracked ribs pinched hard beneath his shirt. He adjusted the belt, then stared glumly out his office window. Fortunately, the pain was bearable with the pain pills his doctor had given him. He thought of Maria Reese and a painful sadness engulfed him. Yes, Maria's absence was striking him in both the gut and the pocketbook!

Two weeks had passed since Roscoe Snyder had attacked him in the same parking lot at which he now stared. Since then, both his personal life and his business life had gone steadily to hell. Maria Reese would not see him. Lance Gregory had forbidden both Maria and Judy to communicate with him, and they had obeyed. Vern had not been able to contact Lance Gregory either since his goon, Roscoe, had administered the beating. Lance had been out of town. Vern sighed, more depressed than he could ever remember. How in hell was he supposed to explain Maria's continued absence to Wyatt, Hendricks, Reardon? This weekend, at the Montague Country Club, Reardon and Hendricks had promised to sign their contracts with Shipley Research, providing Maria were there! Damn it, everything seemed to be backfiring. They had insisted on Maria's presence. Vern did not know what he would do. He would have to think of something.

He ran his hand over his face. Well, at least that ape, Roscoe Snyder, was in the hospital after Lars Brunsgaard's little 'visit,' Vern thought And tonight, if all went as planned, he and Lars would nail Lance Gregory as he came home from the airport. Lars had learned the time of Gregory's arrival from his ineffectual secretary. Yes, tonight Lance Gregory would pay-just as Roscoe Snyder had paid…

Vern felt a slight twinge of remorse at the thought of Roscoe's beating. The truth was, he had never thought himself capable of indulging in such "brutal" tactics. But Maria had altered his entire personality in some way. It was as if she had freed the animal within him-sexually and otherwise. Yes, he had actually ordered the beating of Roscoe and, tonight, he hoped to personally even the score with Lance Gregory. He and Lars would 'take' the sonofabitchl

Still, deep inside, Vern knew that beating people up or having them beaten up would never erase the terrible emptiness he felt since Maria had stopped seeing him. How could he have ever let her get under his skin (his foreskin?) this way? Hell, he hadn't even thought of Ellen these past few weeks.

Impetuously, Vern picked up the phone and dialed Dream-Date. Lance's secretary answered and, disguising his voice, he asked for Maria Reese.

"I'm sorry, but she isn't in today," the secretary said. "May I take a message? Miss Reese called in to say she wasn't feeling well."

"No message," Vern said, and hung up. It wasn't yet 11:00. Maria liked to sleep in. Vern hoped he could catch Maria at home. He dialed her home number, it rang three times, and Maria answered. "Hullo?" she said groggily.

"Hi, honey," Vern said. "It's me. Don't hang up. II have to talk to you…not only about Hendricks and Reardon, but about me. Baby, I'm going crazy. You've got to see me."

"I told you, Vern," Maria said firmly. "It's all over between us. I-I made my decision. I'm Lance Gregory's woman. I did feel something for you-I wasn't lying ever-but there's something special between Lance and myself. That's it. Now please don't ever bother me again. Lance is just liable to have you killed! Please, Vern. Use your head."

"That's not very-likely," Vern said angrily. "It might just be the other way around." Vern forced a laugh. "Who's he gonna get to nail me? Certainly not Roscoe. Huh-uh."

"If you're the one responsible for Roscoe being in the hospital, you'd better leave town, Vern. Lance will tear you into little pieces. You-you didn't do that to him, did you?"

"What if I did? Would you care if I did get torn up?"

There was a long silence. "I'm going to hang up, Vern. I-I don't want to talk to you anymore. I have to meet-Lance's plane this evening and I refuse to get all upset. There's going to be a cocktail party at his place and everything and-and I refuse to let you get me all worked up."

"I can't believe you still don't want me," Vern said, groping his crotch. "Honey, guess what I'm holding right now? It's getting nice and hard for you, baby? Want some, hmmm? Come on, you know we had something going you can't ever replace." Vern was surprised at his boldness here in the office. "Wanna fuck, huh sugar? Remember what it used to be like?"

Maria let out a groan. "Please, Vern," she said, breathlessly. "I-I'm still in bed, and-and this isn't fair of you. Don't do this to me and-and to yourself."

"But you do remember, don't you? Go ahead, hon. Put your hand down there and let's-let's get off together. Go ahead, hon. Listen, my hard-on is out and I'm masturbating. Do it to yourself while I jack off."

"You-you bastard," Maria gasped. "I-I want to hang-up, b-but I can't. Are-are you really doing it?"

Vern put the phone down at his crotch and beat his meat harder. "Yeah, listen…

He put his ear to the phone again. "Ohhhhh," Maria groaned. "I-I don't want to, but I can't help it…I'm fingering my pussy."

Vern kept talking to her as he steadily masturbated and listened to her muffled gasps.

"Tell me when you're almost there," Maria said. "You have to t-tell me…tell me when y-you're ready to go off."

"Does your cunt feel all juicy, sugar?" Vern asked.

"Ummmm…Oh, yessss!"

"Good," Vern said suddenly, "when you're ready for the real thing, give me a call! Meanwhile, fuck yourself!"

Vern slammed the phone in its cradle, quickly brought himself to orgasm in his handkerchief, then stared up at the ceiling and grinned. He'd had the last laugh. Maria still hungered for his body-that's all he wanted to know. When she wanted him she knew where to find him. In the meantime, she would have to satisfy herself with second best-with Lance Gregory. He laughed so hard his ribs hurt. Beautiful Maria wanted him, but she was stuck with Lance

Gregory. That was beautiful, especially since he and Lars would take care of Lance tonight so that he wouldn't be able to satisfy any female!

Vern's prick had dwindled down to normal. He zipped up his fly, threw the handkerchief in the waste-basket and put his head back. In a moment, he was snoring loudly, peacefully, contentedly.

"Chief…wake up, Chief!"

Vern blinked and sat up straight in the chair. It was his partner, Stan Kettering, and Stan was jiggling him. "Okay, okay," Vern said. "I'm awake, I'm awake…" Vern shook his head. "Jeeus, can't a man even nap in his own office?"

"Ellen's on the phone, Chief. She says it's important. Just pick up the phone. She's already on the line."

Vern picked up the receiver. "Yeah," he said gruff-

"Hi, honey. I-I haven't bothered you because I know you've had a lot on your mind, but-but today I couldn't resist calling you. Please come to dinner tonight? I'm fixing something special."

"I'm sorry, Ellen. I don't think so. I-I have a previous engagement."

"Oh." Ellen sounded as if she might cry. "All right," she said. "But can we get together soon? You'll be surprised, hon. I've-I've lost almost fifteen pounds!"

"That's wonderful," Vern said without enthusiasm. "I'll be in touch, but tonight's out of the question. So long." He hung up.

Stan shook his head. "Don't you think you're being a little foolish under the circumstances? Why don't you face the truth, Vern? Maria was nice but it's over. Ellen's always been right for you. She always has been. Who are you going to take to that social affair at Montague. Not me. How about Ellen?"

Vern shook his head. "I just might have to, but I don't want to think about it right now." Vern stared up at his partner, and for' an instant he thought that he might cry. He knew then that he'd been kidding himself about getting even with Maria. "I can't get Maria out of my head, Stan," he said evenly. "I mean, being with Ellen would be just too much of a bringdown. Christ, Maria is a stunning, captivating, gorgeous angel who can handle herself like a princess at social affairs. She's got Reardon and Hendricks right by the gonads. By comparison, Ellen is a-a dumpy, plump scrubwoman, for Christ's sake!"

Stan eyed his boss thoughtfully for a moment. "You're exaggerating and you know it," he said. "True, Maria is one of the most beautiful females I ever laid eyes on, but Ellen has more important qualities. She's warm, she's giving and, hell, she's lost weight, hasn't she?"

Vern nodded. There was something he could not even tell his partner, who was perhaps his closest friend. The truth was, even at the peak of his affair with Maria, he had known that his sexual compatibility with plain-looking Ellen was far better than with stunning Maria. There was a puzzle all right. Why? And, more important, why could he not admit this to Stan? He did not know. If only Ellen were more stylish, more of a showpiece, he would have the best of all worlds…then he would have perfection in bed along with perfection in the other aspects of his life. Well, he could not begin to explain his feelings to Stan, or did not want to at any rate. Besides, he had exhausted himself long ago in trying to resolve the problem in his mind. That was why he had engaged

Dream-Date's top girl, Maria Reese. But what had that yielded? Now everything had backfired. Maria was gone, he was having trouble with his clients, and there remained only Ellen-loyal, devoted Ellen. Worst of all, Vern knew that his beating of Roscoe Snyder, and the proposed beating of Lance Gregory tonight, represented an all-time low in his life. Had he degenerated into some gangster, some hoodlum of the streets? Apparently he had…

"Why. don't you give her a break?" Stan asked. "Take Ellen to the affair at Montague, Vern."

"Yeah, I guess I will," Vern said, resigned now. "I guess I'll give her a call tomorrow. I don't have much choice. I certainly can't rely on finding some beautiful, new stranger. Okay, yeah."

Stan seemed overwhelmed with joy. "You really like Ellen, don't you?" Vern asked. "Why?"

"Because I'm your friend, Vern, and I happen to know she's best for you-in every way. You see, I happen to like you, too, Chief, so naturally I want only the best for you."

"Cut it out before you make me cry," Vern said. He reached up and patted his partner's shoulder. "You're just a long-time married man, buddy, and you want everyone else in your same rut."

"Maybe," Stan said, grinning, and left the room.

In his own office, Stan Kettering closed the door behind him and dialed the school where Ellen Lanning taught. There was a long pause while someone fetched her from the classroom, and then she finally answered the phone.

"Listen, Ellen," Stan said, "I'm sorry to bother you this way, but this is super-important. Vern is going to ask you to a very important social affair this Friday night. You'll go, won't your"

"Yes, of course!" Ellen said happily.

"Good, but I want to see you here at Vern's office tonight. I have an idea that is going to help you two out tremendously, honey. You know how I feel about you two…will you come?"

"Sure," Ellen said. "What time?"

"Make it at five-thirty. Vern will be gone then. Don't let me down, huh?"

"I won't Five-thirty sharp. Bye-bye."

Stan placed the phone down and stared over at the folders on Lloyd Hendricks, Randolph Reardon, old man Wyatt. There was a mountain of personal data on these men, and their wives, too. In the hands of an intelligent woman, the information could prove to be a very valuable weapon, he thought. Yes, indeed…

Ellen Lanning arrived five minutes early. At 5:25, by Stan's wristwatch, he let her in and they sat down in his office. Stan was thunderstruck at her appearance. Not only had she lost fifteen pounds, but she wore a clinging knit dress and she had changed her hairstyle and makeup! He had always found her lovely, because of her inner beauty, but this exterior change was incredible to behold.

"My God!" Stan said, feasting his eyes hungrily on Ellen. "You're gorgeous!"

"Yes, I have made a few changes in my appearance," Ellen said, running her tongue over her lips. "Do you think Vernon will be pleased?"

"I'll sayl Who wouldn't?" Stan had to control himself. He tried valiantly to keep his eyes from her large, firm up-thrust breasts, her bare knees. "Uh-I asked you here to discuss finalizing your relationship with Vern."

"Finalizing?"

"Yes, I think you'll agree that you two have dillydallied long enough. I think you two should be together permanently, don't you?"

"Why yes," Ellen said, frowning. "What do you have in mind?"

"This." Stan opened the folder on his desk. "I told you that Vern is going to ask you to a social affair. Well, you should know something about the people there, Ellen. I have everything from the people's birth signs to their innermost secrets right here. As you know, Vern has always wanted a woman who could help him with the business. It's a hang-up of his, right?"

Ellen nodded, pursing her full lips. "Correct," she said.

Stan's heart beat faster. "Well, this information will enable you to hit them right where they five!"

Stan then explained, straightforwardly, the situation. He spared nothing, not even the details of Vern's relationship with Maria Reese. When he had finished his briefing, he said, "Well, my dear, do you feel up to it? Can you meet the challenge? Hell, you're lovely, Ellen-truly beautiful. With this information, I should think you'd be unstoppable-that is, if you think Vern is worth all the effort?"

She smiled, stood up, walked over and planted a huge lass on Stan's mouth. "You're a darling man, Stan Kettering. I've always liked you, and now you've given me this-this perfect way of convincing Vern I'm really worthy of him."

"You've always been worthy of him, dear, we've both known that, but this is a way you can convince that stubborn bastard of the truth."

Ellen ran her hands over, her hips. "Yes, that stubborn bastard is worth it," she said. "I don't know why, but he is. He must be. Looking the way I do wasn't easy to achieve, you know," Ellen said. "Dieting, exercise, beauty consultation…"

To Stan's amazement, Ellen then ran her fingers through his hair. "You know, if it weren't for Vern, I could go for you, Stan," she said. "I mean that. You're a prince of a man. I don't know how I can ever repay you for this, Stan. I'll memorize those dossiers, you can be sure. No, I don't think I can ever repay you-"

She broke then, leaned down and gave Stan a long, lingering kiss. Stan was breathing very hard now. "M-Maybe I do know how to repay you. Would you think I was terrible if we-if we…"

Stan felt his loyalty and will power fading. The scent of this woman's cologne filled his nostrils, her smooth hands Were on his face, her full lips were nibbling now at his ear. It had been so long since he had really been with a woman. Barbara had been in the wheelchair for over five years-five years of torture. Still, he could not bring himself to cheat on his wife, despite her infirmity, and he could not make love to his boss's woman. It was unthinkable…unthinkable…but…

"Stan," Ellen was cooing, "I-I know how difficult it must have been for you these past years-Barbara the way she is, I mean. Please let me give myself to you-just this once? Nobody need ever know. It would be just a very personal thing between two friends-a secret. Please, won't you let me do this?

Just once? Please? Oh, Stan, you're such an attractive man-so good and strong and loyal."

Stan was about to rise and flee from the room, but just then Ellen cried, "Stan! Forgive me for this, but I-I must show my appreciation, and-and in a way-it's a special kind of love."

She was all over him then, her mouth gulping at his face hungrily, her hands against his chest, running over his legs, clamping his cheek against her heaving breasts.

"It's been so long," he sighed. "So long…"

"I know, my dear," Ellen said encouragingly. "It's all right. Relax, darling. We'll have each other just this once and then you will be with Barbara again and I-I will be with Vernon."

"Yes!" Stan said. "Yes! I've admired you for a long time, Ellen. I wanted you before you changed your looks!"

Ellen raised her dress now, studying his hungry gaze as she did so. "Do anything you want, Stan," she breathed. "I love Vern, but tonight-right now-I'm yours. Make love to me, Stan! Kiss me, fuck me, do everything to me!"

Stan buried his face in her panty-covered pussy for a moment, gasping. Then he stood up, the last of his restraint gone now, and pressed his hard-on into Ellen's abdomen. "I need you, Ellen. I need you." His hands groped the firm breasts, squeezed hard.

"I know, love. I understand," Ellen gasped. "I-I'm not as innocent as I seem, Stan. I love everything…I love to do everything there is to dol Fuck mel Suck me! Let me fuck and suck you, Stan!"

Stan felt his knees beginning to weaken. "Let's go to the fold-down couch," he said. "I've got to have you-naked and lying down."

Stan led her to Vern's office, pulled the couch down and then slowly undressed Ellen. As he did so, he kissed her body desperately-kissed and licked and stroked with his trembling fingers every inch of her willing body. She undressed him then, kissing his chest, his shoulders, then dropping to her knees and showering his thundering erection with wet and greedy kisses. She nuzzled at his scrotum with her nose, then took his prick far back into her throat and gobbled lingeringly.

Stan could not believe this was the same lady-like Ellen he had known. This schoolteacher was as skilled a seductress as any female he had ever known. He stared down at her mouth working so expertly at his organ in awe.

Ellen withdrew his dribbling shaft from her hot mouth, held it against her cheek, then her breasts. She was staring at it insanely, as if it were a god. "I love your big prick, Stan. Do anything you want to me. Do you want to come in my mouth? Anything you want, Stan. You can come in my cunt, or my ass, or my mouth. Then you can wait and come again…anything you want, Stan. Anything… "

Her finger was teasing his rectum now. He widened his stance, took her face in his hands and steadily fucked her mouth for several minutes. His own voice sounded strange to his ears. He kept muttering, "Paradise…It's paradise…Oh, suck, Ellen…Suck, baby!"

And then he could not stand the passive role any longer. He flung Ellen's twitching body onto the makeshift bed and began gorging himself on her tits as he palmed and fingered her vagina. From time to time he would cease gobbling at the erect nipples to lap Ellen's cunt-lubricant from his fingers.

"Yes, suck my cunt!" Ellen cried out. "But put your mouth on it…don't just lick the taste from your fingers. Put your mouth between my legs and gobble me-while I gobble you! Please!"

Stan quickly reversed himself on the bed and, clutching Ellen's quivering ass, began licking her juicy slit with a frenzy. The tight, dripping cunt was delicious. It had been so long since he'd truly gorged himself on a pussy that he grew delirious, nearly passing out Cunt…Ellen's beautiful, juicy cunt, he thought

As he gulped Ellen from her clit to the lower edge of her gushing hole, working his face in a steady, rhythmic, circular motion, Ellen ingested his swollen hard-on, emitting slurping sounds as she mewed and fondled his balls. Stan could not believe that this was the same restrained, poised, dignified female he had known. She was a goddess of a woman, a goddess…How could Vern not have seen that she possessed everything a man could want?

"Fuck me now, Stan!" Ellen was calling. "Fuck me! Fuck me! I'm horny, too, Stan! Ohhhh, stick your pole inside me and make me come. You can stick it in either hole-wherever you want! Either way I'll come…I've never been hotter than this, Stan. Fuck me now!"

Stan obeyed. Wiping cunt juice from his face with the back of his hand, he got into fucking position. Ellen put one of the pillows beneath her ass and Stan began wiping the head of his pulsing rod up and down the length of the beautiful cunt that begged to be fucked.

"Ohhh, yesssss, Stan. You know just how to get a woman ready!" Ellen cried. "Stick it in, baby. Feed your prick to mama!"

Ellen's flood of obscenities seemed so out of character, but somehow the flood of four-letter words excited Stan all the more. His shaft was halfway imbedded in Ellen's tight, clenching cunt now, and Stan stared down, reveling in the sight of his meat penetrating this beautiful woman he had so long admired.

"Feel good?" Ellen asked, cupping his balls in her hand. "Tell me how it feels to you?"

"Oven-hot," Stan said, wondering how many different ways he could attempt to tell her how it felt. He gave up. "Slick, hot, wet…Ohhh, Ellen!" he yelled, and fell forward upon her and began pumping with all his might.

Ellen locked her ankles behind his knees and drove her pelvis savagely at him. "Give it to me, Stan…Give all of it to me. Fuck me…stick that wonderful hot cock as far in as it will go! Fuck me. Ohhh, Jesus! It's wonderful…wonderful. Yes, hold my ass hard. Just that way. Drive it in…use me!"

They fucked for what must have been ten minutes, rolling, thrusting, writhing. Stan had to pause several times to keep from coming. Finally, Ellen announced that she was about to come. "Now! Now!" Screaming, she pleaded for him to come, too. "Shoot it in me! Come!"

Stan raced for the finish, climaxing just a few seconds after Ellen. Afterward, they lay spent and panting in each others' arms. They agreed that it had been one of the finest fucks either of them had ever experienced, but that nothing would ever be said to Stan's wife or to Vern.

Later, at the door, they kissed goodnight and Stan was impressed with Ellen's lady-like manner. It was as though she had never heard of the words she had uttered while in the throes of passion. In very crisp diction, she said, "Goodnight, Stanley dear. I don't know what to say." She kissed him on the nose. "You may rest assured I shall put these dossiers on Vern's clients to the very best of use."

Then she winked lasciviously and departed, as if she were an Avon Lady who had completed a routine call

The moon was full over Benedict Canyon. Vern was growing impatient. He glanced at his watch and frowned. He and Lars Brunsgaard stood in the shadows behind a large oak tree, which was just to the right of the entrance of Lance Gregory's house.

"Where in the hell is he?" Vern said to Lars. "He should have been here half an hour ago. It shouldn't take this long to get here from the airport."

Big Lars shrugged. He coulda stopped for a drink, or he mighta had a flat tire or something."

"Yes, and he might already be here. His guests are here."

"No chance," Lars said. "The guests might be here, but him and Maria ain't. No way."

Vern hoped Lars was right. He was growing tired of standing in the damp ivy and waiting for Lance Gregory to arrive so they could give him the same beating Roscoe Snyder had given him.

In the moonlight, Lars resembled a modern-day Viking. He was almost as large as Roscoe Snyder, but he was blond, blue-eyed and slimmer than Roscoe.

A car rounded the bend, swung into the driveway and paused. Squinting, Vern observed that only one person sat in the car-the driver. It was a woman…it was Maria Reese…all by herself! Could it be a trick? Vern wondered. Could Lance Gregory be lying down in the seat? Not-likely, he told himself. There wouldn't be any good reason for that. No, they wouldn't suspect anything this close to home, Vern told himself.

Lars moved forward, like an impatient guard dog, but Vern held him back with his hand on his chest "No, wait," Vern said. "Look!"

Another car was rounding the bend. Maria drove through the entrance, the gate closed, and the second car came to a halt to await the second opening of the gate. Vern was glad that the two cars were widely spaced. Otherwise the second car might have slipped through right behind Maria.

The second car came to a halt now before the gate. It was Lance Gregory. Apparently, Lance had left a car at the airport, and so he and Maria had returned in separate cars. Vern was glad for that. He didn't want an hysterical woman screaming while he and Lars worked Lance over. Gregory's window was down. Good!

"Now!" Vern snapped. "Let's go."

Lars strode quickly to Gregory's car. Gregory barely got a glimpse of Lars before Lars grabbed him hard about the neck, clamping him between his forearm and bicep to cut off any possible cry for help. Lars held Gregory that way while he reached down and turned off the ignition and lights with his free hand.

"Get him out of the car!" Vern commanded. "Drag him over here. Quick."

Lars dragged Gregory as if he were a sack of dirty laundry. Gregory's heels bounced on the asphalt driveway, then whooshed over the ivy to where Vern stood, fifteen yards from the car.

"All right, hold him up-hands behind his back-while I get him," Vern said.

Gregory looked terrified. Vern didn't care if he knew who was beating him up or not.

"Yeah, it's me," Vern said. "Remember me? Well, I'm not going to rough you up as bad as Roscoe did me, but I do owe you something, buster."

For just an instant, Vern hesitated, wondering how he could possibly have sunk so low as to attack a fellow human being this way. But then he remembered Roscoe's fists hammering at his body and face, and he knew he could finish what he had so carefully planned.

Vern threw a right and then a left-not too hard-one blow at Gregory's left cheek and the other at his right cheek. Gregory grunted painfully, even squealed a bit with each hit, and Vern was surprised to learn that he rather enjoyed striking Gregory, even if he was helpless.

Next, Vern drove two hard rights to Gregory's midsection. His fists sunk in deep.

"You're out of shape, Lance," Vern said. "That makes it nice though. It's easier on my hands."

"Please," Gregory managed to utter. "I-I'm sorry. I'll make it up to you. "D-Don't hit me again…please."

"Please? Now that's odd. I don't think your goon, Roscoe, would have spared me if I'd said please. No sir. In a way, you should be grateful to Roscoe though, Lance. You see, he hurt my ribs, so I can't really swing as hard as I'd like. But there are places to hit that don't require a lot of force, aren't there?"

Vern then drove a fairly light blow into Gregory's groin. Gregory screamed, and Lars clamped his big ham-like hand over the handsome face.

Now Vern was really in the swing of it. Gregory became a symbol of every frustration Vern had suffered in his life. He slammed rights and lefts mercilessly to Gregory's face, stomach, groin.

"How do you like it, huh? You like to give orders for other people to get worked over, don't you? Well, how do you like this, and this, and that, and that…"

Gregory grunted dramatically with each punishing blow. Vern knew he was not cracking ribs. Except for the one blow to Gregory's groin, Vern was certain he was hitting about half as hard as Roscoe Synder had hit him in the parking lot that night.

Finally, Vern backed away, delivered two last blows to the body and let his arms hang at rest. "You'll forgive me, Mister Gregory, but, like you, I am out of shape. In fact, I'm exhausted. Just be glad I didn't let my man here work you over. So long. Just rest where you are. We'll call your friends and tell them to come and fetch you. Come on, Lars. Let's go"

Lars let Gregory collapse in a moaning heap in the damp ivy. There was the sound of music coming from the house. Apparently the party had begun without its host

As Vern and Lars got into Vern's car, Vern heard Maria's voice calling. "Darling? What are you doing, Lance? Lance?"

Vern pulled out from the curb. He hoped Maria would be the one to find the bleeding Lance Gregory. Yes, that would be perfect, he thought

"Well go somewhere and have a victory drink, Lars," Vern said, driving fast toward Sunset Boulevard. "Yes, we'll have a drink and then I'll pay you what I owe you."

"Umm," Lars grunted, nodding.

Chapter 11

It pleased Vern that Lance Gregory was a practical Machiavellian businessman. Vern smiled victoriously now as Maria Reese played the role of a humble mediator over the telephone. Just two days had passed since Vern and Lars Brunsgaard had assaulted Lance Gregory outside his Benedict Canyon home.

"… so Lance asked me to relay this message to you, Vern. He promises that he and Roscoe will not retaliate if you and Lars agree to call it quits, too."

"Very wise of him," Vern said crisply, "particularly with that ape Roscoe laid up in the hospital. Very well then," Vera said. "Agreed…no more violence."

There was a long silence, and then Mafia, whimpering, said, "Oh, Vern, how could you?"

Vern visualized Maria's pouting mouth, the tears streaming down her cheeks, her heaving bosom, and it gave him pleasure. Gone were the days when Maria's breasts were for sucking and that full-lipped mouth nursed at his cock. No, now she was Lance Gregory's woman, by her own decision, and he felt nothing but contempt for her. At last, he had freed himself from her spell.

"How could I?" he repeated. "It was easy, my dear. When you love a woman, and she kicks you in the teeth, many things become possible. You and your now bashed-up lover-boy taught me a lot about the realities of life. Enjoy each other…you deserve each other. So long, bitch!"

Vern hung up then. He glanced at his wristwatch. It was nearly 5:00, and Ellen should be home from school by now. He still felt somewhat reluctant to invite her to accompany him to Montague Country Club for the affair with Reardon, Hendricks and Wyatt, but he had to invite someone. What the hell? he thought. Stan says she's lost weight. If I can just convince her to keep her mouth shut maybe everything will work out all right. He dialed.

Ellen answered, and Vern adopted an almost business-like manner. "Hello my dear," he said. Tm calling to ask if you'd care to accompany me to a busi-nessy sort of social function tomorrow night."

"Well," Ellen said, surprisingly independent-sounding, "I suppose so…yes. To what do I attribute His Excellency's invitation? Did your girlfriend go completely lesbian?"

"Lesbian? What are you talking about?"

"Vern, I had the pleasure of receiving a visit from Maria Reese-here-at my apartment. I assure you she's quite butch. If she isn't, then she's the most effective switch-hitter I've ever met!"

"I don't believe you," Vern said, stunned. "Maria Reese a dyke? Impossible."

"Lots of women put on great shows for certain men friends, and still swing with females on the side, dear. But no matter…I'll tell you all about it sometime and let you judge for yourself… Now, let's see, you want me to accompany you tomorrow night. Very well. Shall I meet you there, or do you wish to call for me?"

"I'll pick you up about seven-thirty, and coach you on the way to the club."

"Coach me?" Ellen laughed. "Yes, you just do that. All right then, seven-thirty. Please be on time."

And she hung up on him! Vern scowled at the phone, puzzled. Ellen seemed awfully cocky for a woman he had neglected. Who in hell did she think she was, anyway? He paced his office for a minute, then wandered over into Stan Kettering's office.

"Well, you'll be pleased to know I'm taking Ellen to that Montague shindig. Shell probably blow the whole thing for us, but I'm just gonna have to take that chance!"

Stan removed his glasses and, grinning, stared at his boss. "You know, Chief, you just might be in for a surprise."

"What kind of surprise?" Vern said, chuckling. "Ellen is about as surprising as gray skies in wintertime."

"You're sure about that, eh?" Stan said, and resumed reading his computer report.

"Sometimes I think the whole world is going crazy," Vern said. "I'm going to drive golf balls. Goodnight."

The following night, as Vern and Ellen walked along the wide sidewalk that led to the reception-bar area of the Montague Country Club, Vern gestured emphatically, reminding Ellen that she should say "as little as possible and just listen."

"Yes, dear," Ellen said. "I know how to handle myself. Don't worry about a thing."

Just before they entered, Vern stopped and took another long look at Ellen. "Jesus, I-I still don't know what to say, Ellen. I mean, you look ravishing.

It's not just the weight loss-it's everything! You're like a completely different person!"

"Good," Ellen said, kissing him on the cheek, "then trust me to do the right thing tonight-no matter what happens you must trust me-and please stop being so nervous."

Vern nodded, straightening his tie. "It's just that this night means so much to me, and I'm afraid about their reaction to you. You see, Maria became quite a favorite of theirs. As I told you, there was sex between them and her-everything! I-I just don't know how you'll stack up against her."

"Will you please stop jabbering like a nervous idiot?" Ellen said. "Yes, you told me about the relationship between Maria and the men. I understand the problem completely. Now will you please just relax and give me credit for some intelligence?"

"Okay," Vern said, "sorry. I do seem sort of shook up, don't I? But Jesus! Who wouldn't be? I mean, the way you look-and me not knowing what's going to happen when you walk in…I mean-"

Ellen shooshed his nervous babbling with a well-placed index finger at his lips. "Shhh, easy," she said. "Calm down and let's go inside."

Vern pushed open the door, composed himself as best he could, and the two of them strode across the room to the big fireplace opposite the bar. It was the same fireplace where Vern had first introduced Maria Reese to Reardon, Hendricks, Wyatt, and their wives. His stomach muscles tightened as he made the introductions.

Fortunately, nobody made reference to the fact that Maria Reese was absent. Good, Vern thought, the less said the better. But then, before he could even order a drink for himself and Ellen, Ellen boldly said, "I imagine you are all wondering where the beautiful and captivating Maria Reese is this evening?" she asked.

Vern wanted to crawl into the fireplace and hide. What in God's name was Ellen doing?

"As a matter-of-fact," Sheila Hendricks, meeting the challenge directly, said, "that's exactly what I was thinking. Vern? Have you and Miss Reese had a falling out?"

"Uh, well-uh," Vern stammered, "it's a long, long story." Before he could gather his thoughts, Ellen interrupted. She moved to the center of the seated group and did a little pirouette. Her hair glistened in the soft, amber light and the brief exposure of her legs and upper thighs, as the dress fanned, obviously appealed to the men.

"Yes, it's a very long story," Ellen said gayly. "It's as long and old a story as the story of mankind itself. You see, the best woman won! I know you were all very fond of Maria Reese-she's beautiful, intelligent, and definitely an asset to a man of Vernon Shipley's calibre and interests-but I hope you'll like me, too. I assure you that a man of Vernon's ability and taste and business acumen would not have selected me over the-likes of Maria Reese if there were not a very good reason. Don't you agree?"

"Ellen, please!" Vern said, moving toward her.

"No, let her be!" Sheila Hendricks said, obviously intrigued and amused. "This is very interesting, Vern. I want to hear about the new weapons the modern girls are using nowadays."

"Yes indeed," said Elyse Reardon, 'let the pretty little thing continue." Elyse Reardon jabbed her husband, Randolph, in the ribs, and he said, "Yes, let her go on, Vern."

"All right," Vern said, swallowing. He waved at the waiter to order martinis for Ellen and himself. "Go on, dear."

"Well," Ellen began, "first I want to tell you that I've known Vernon Shipley much longer than Maria Reese has. I think that alone qualifies me somewhat to be his new fianc'e. But most important, I used my husband-to-be's own methods of research to get my man! I carefully researched my opponent, Miss Reese, and attacked her scientifically."

"Scientifically?" Mrs. Wyatt inquired skeptically. "I bet your approach extended beyond the realm of pure science." She laughed knowingly. "Do tell us the truth."

"I must admit," said Ellen confidently, "that my approach did include a certain amount of physical persuasion."

Everyone laughed heartily, and Vern found himself laughing, too. Ellen's performance, thus far, was astounding, brilliant.

"And that's not all I researched," Ellen said. She quickly strolled by the men and whispered in the ears of Sheila Hendricks, Elyse Reardon and Alta Wyatt The women looked astounded. Then, each in turn became suddenly patronizing. They looked as if they were embarrassed.

"Please, dear," Vern said, glancing nervously at the husbands. "We mustn't keep any secrets from the men folk…heh-heh."

"This is all just good fun, isn't it girls?" Ellen said.

The women nodded vigorously, completely won over, it seemed to Vern.

"Now," Ellen said, "I understand that the reason Vern's ex-fianc'e was so popular was because she genuinely got to know each of you. All I request is the same opportunity. Isn't that fair?"

Everybody agreed that this was fair, particularly the women.

Tine," Ellen said, beaming, "then let's just all go ahead and have a splendid evening. I'll be chatting with each of you individually, and that way well get to know each other."

The waiter brought another round of drinks then, along with Vern's and Ellen's martinis, and Vern began conversing with the men while Ellen huddled with the ladies. Vern kept a close watch on Ellen as he socialized with the men, and he was pleased to see the men's wives laughing uproariously at Ellen's light conversation.

"Certainly a bold gal-that Ellen," Randolph Reardon said, eyeing his wife suspiciously. "But beautiful…yes, I can see why you might prefer her to Maria. Ellen seems to have a bit more depth. Odd, but she even looks vaguely familiar."

Vern remembered the night he had pawned Ellen off to the men as a District School Supervisor in the Mediterranean Restaurant. He almost laughed. No chance of any of the men's recognizing Ellen; she had changed her physical appearance completely!

"A stunning female," Lloyd Hendricks said, adding his approval. "We miss Maria, of course, but I-I'm sure this Ellen will make you a fine wife, Vern."

Vern chatted with the men for perhaps ten minutes, and then Ellen once again made an announcement. "I wish to be extended the same rights as my ex-competitor," she said. "I understand Miss Reese was allowed the privilege of strolling individually with Misters Wyatt, Hendricks and Reardon." She laughed brightly. "Come now! I want to get to know each of you-individually."

The women laughed, obviously feeling their drinks, approving Ellen's boldness. Vern cringed, wondering how Ellen knew what Maria had done. Reardon glanced nervously at Hendricks, and they both shrugged. Then Ellen was leading Lloyd Hendricks away toward the door for an outdoor stroll.

"That girl is amazing!" Sheila Hendricks bellowed. "Simply unbelievable!"

"Yes, she's researched us all right," said Elyse Reardon. She even knows about those private strolls! Incredible! I imagine she'll be planting some pro-Ver-non Shipley ideas in my husband's head soon."

Yes, and I have the feeling they'll be planting something in her, too, Vern thought. He realized then that he felt intense jealousy. Ellen had changed her physical appearance miraculously, and she was behaving miraculously. He was impressed, even touched, by the lengths Ellen was going to in order to win his clients' approval. But he did not want her fucking and sucking them! Still, he knew precisely what Ellen would be doing, and he dreaded the thought. Yes, one by one-he was certain of it-Ellen would be bringing each of the men to orgasm, and this hurt him deeply. But he could not stop her. How had she learned about Maria's sexual contacts with these men? He doubted that Maria had told her. Then how? And what had she said to the wives that had completely disarmed them? It was all very puzzling.

Vern finished his drink, trying to seem casual, and then he excused himself. Both Reardon and Wyatt tried to keep him in their presence, apparently trying to spare him the sight of what he was sure to discover outside, but he told them he was merely going to the men's room and not to worry. Then, discreetly, he exited through the dining room and proceeded quietly along the wide walk. He whistled softly, searching the grounds.

What drove him to view what he did not wish to see? He could not control himself. He had to know…

Finally, near a cluster of eucalyptus trees, not far from where he had seen Maria Reese on the night of her mass seduction, he sighted what had to be Ellen's white dress. The white material appeared to be in motion! Yes, Ellen was doing exactly what he had suspected. Still, he wanted to see…he had to be sure…

Unable to control himself, he walked on tiptoe to the trees until he could see and hear perfectly. Hendricks sat on the ground, his back against a tree trunk, while Ellen sat astride him, facing him, riding his prick like a jockey.

"Feel good? Huh?" she asked, grinding her lower torso in a steady circular motion.

Hendricks had pulled her dress top down so that her breasts were bare and he was nursing noisily on them as he fucked. He stopped sucking the erect nipples long enough to mutter a reply.

"Ohhh, Jesus, does it ever feel good!" he said. That cunt…it's so hot and tight, baby. Yeah…fuck, baby…work that tight box all over my hard-on!"

Ellen leaned back, palming her stomach. "I-I love the way you fuck, Lloyd. You know just where to stab and just how hard. You make a girl feel wonderful. Ummm, fuck me, Lloyd! Give me that hard dick!"

"W-Why are you doing this?" Hendricks manage to query as he drove his prick up into Ellen's churning torso. "It-It's beautiful, b-but why?" he asked. "Oh-agh-anh-Oou," he grunted as he fucked.

"You know why, baby," Ellen said, biting his ear as she spoke. "I-I love Vern. You fuck nice, baby, but I love Vern…I want him…I want you to sign those con-tracts to-night…Ah-ou-oh-eee!"

"May-be…I would have any-way!" Hendricks replied, not missing a stroke.

"But may-be you wouldn't," Ellen answered. "I wanted to be sure!"

"O.K." Hendricks grunted. "I didn't need this, but O.K."

Vern was stunned at Ellen's performance. He had never thought her capable of such wanton promiscuity. He wanted to run over and lift her off Hendricks, tell her this wasn't necessary. But, of course, he could not. It occurred to him that perhaps having to watch Ellen degrade herself this way for him was his punishment for taking advantage of Ellen for so long.

"Go ahead and come," Ellen said, and then she began muttering four-letter words and reaching behind her to fondle Hendricks' balls as she slammed her cunt at his tool. "Come…shoot your wad, baby!"

"Comin' now, baby!" Hendricks rasped. "Here it blows…Ahhhhh!"

Ellen let out a long groan then, but Vern knew she was faking her orgasm. He knew the true sound of her voice when coming too well. Yes, he thought, she was obviously saving herself for the other men. The thought almost nauseated him. He backed away, then m;ule his way back to the dining room entrance and returned to his guests.

"Where have you been, Vern?" Alta Wyatt asked loudly.

To Vern's embarrassment, everyone turned to face him. "I was just checking on my fianc'e," he said, forcing a smile. "It seems every time I bring a date, my male clients run off with her." He smiled good-naturedly-at least, he hoped it was good-naturedlyand said, "I just saw the two of them laughing and chatting out there by the ninth green. Why it's almost enough to make a man jealous!"

The women laughed, and in a moment Vern ordered everyone another drink. He had no choice but to keep them happy and drinking while Ellen-dutiful girl that she was-fucked and/or sucked each of their husbands one at a time! Vern hoped she would manage to copulate with them before everybody got too hungry. Getting up from the dinner table to fuck wouldn't do at all.

A few minutes passed and Ellen entered with Lloyd Hendricks. She held his arm as if she were a virginal high school girl with her date on prom night! Hendricks smiled broadly, looking very relaxed, satiated beyond belief. Vern hoped Hendricks' wife would not recognize his sexually-relieved appearance.

Ellen wasted no time! She immediately insisted that "Randy" Reardon stroll with her and look at the same full moon she and Lloyd Hendricks had admired. "That is if Mrs. Reardon doesn't mind."

Elyse Reardon said, "Oh, no! You run along, dear. This Ellen is determined to assist Vera in his career and I wouldn't dream of standing in her way!"

Vern could not understand this incredible cooperation on the part of the wives, and once again he wondered just what it had been that Ellen had whispered in their ears. He watched Ellen disappear through the side door with Reardon, once again sipped his drink for a few minutes, and then excused himself to peek at Ellen and her second sexual dalliance of the evening.

This time he found Ellen lying on her back near the golf driving range. A hedge blocked people's view from the dining room, and so the couple felt safe and secure. Again, Vern stood behind a tree, this time a large fir, and watched the action unobserved. Reardon had spread his jacket out on the grass to protect Ellen's dress from stains. Now his head was bobbing up and down between Ellen's legs as he sucked on her pussy. As he licked, he reached up with both hands and rubbed Ellen's heaving tits.

Even from ten yards away, Vern could hear Reardon's tongue lapping away at Ellen's crotch. "Bee-uuut-eeefulll!" Ellen wailed, thrusting her pelvis rhythmically at Reardon's gulping mouth. "Ummmmm…suck my cunt…Ohhhhh, yesssss! And-and keep on rubbing my titties, toooooooo!"

Reardon's fingers tweaked steadily at Ellen's erect nipples as his face worked in a circular motion over her thrusting cunt. Ellen's legs were as far apart as she could spread them, Vern judged, and she softly pummeled Reardon's back as he gobbled with a frenzy.

"Oh, God! You're sticking your tongue everywhere!" Ellen cried. "Oh, Jesus…Yesl Yes! There, too!"

Reardon withdrew one of his hands from Ellen's breasts and raised her buttocks higher and dropped his head at the same time. He was lapping Ellen from her clit to her tailbone, and Ellen was tossing her head from side to side and crying out in a way that was reminiscent of hers and Vern's lovemaking. This hurt Vern. He had felt that their love-making was personal, special, but now Ellen was performing just as she had performed with him! He wanted to rush over and pull Reardon off Ellen, bash his brains in, but he had to restrain himself. There was too much at stake and, besides, there was still the possibility that Ellen was not enjoying her sexual activity tonight at ail-that she was performing strictly for him.

Vern wished she weren't so good an actress, though, if this were true. Her squeals of delight, her ecstatic writhing as Reardon tongued her, were driving Vern insane.

And then came the worst! Reardon suddenly stopped munching Ellen's pussy and stood up on his knees between her spread legs. His face glistened in the moonlight. Saliva and cunt juice dribbled down his chin. "I-I wanna fuck you now, Ellen," he gasped. "But look!" He pointed at his little hard-on and shrugged. "Do you mind? It-It's awfully small, or-or maybe you don't think it is small?"

Reardon's voice had a pathetic ring to it. Why was he being so apologetic? Vern leaned forward, scowling and trying to see Reardon's pecker. He couldn't see it; the man's shirt front seemed to be covering his hard-on. But surely, Vern thought, his dick would jut out just a bit!

And then Vern spotted Reardon's prick. Small? It had to be the tiniest male organ Vern had ever laid eyes on.

"No, no," Ellen said reassuringly. "I don't think it's that small. Why don't you just go ahead and-and sort of stick it in?"

Reardon could not see Ellen's facial expression, but Vern could. Ellen had her hand covering her mouth, and she was trying valiantly to suppress a giggle.

Jesus, Vern thought, no wonder he-likes to eat girls…he sure as hell couldn't fuck them very convincingly. Vern, too, began to laugh-not so much at Reardon's tiny organ, but at his apologetic attitude toward it.

"What do you mean, sort of stick it in?" Reardon asked, his voice whining. "Why don't you just say stick it in, and leave the sort of out? You think my prick's small, don't you? You're making fun of me!"

"Oh, no!" Ellen said. "But you seemed concerned about it, so I-I just decided to agree with you. Oh, no, Randy, I-I think your hard-on is very manly and-and simply beautiful. Ummm, is it ever! Hurry up now and stuff that nice male wanger in my hole! Hurry, or I'll die!"

Reardon did not move. "You're putting me on," he said. "I know you're putting me on. Well, I want to tell you something!" he yelled, waving his finger menacingly at Ellen. "Lots of women think my prick is terrific. My wife, for instance. Yeah, and Maria Reese loved my prick, too!"

Vern rubbed his hands together. His palms were perspiring. This was crucial, and he hoped that Ellen realized she was on very dangerous ground. Christ, if Reardon truly believed that Ellen was insulting his manhood, he could refuse to sign the final contract with Shipley Incorporated. Yes, men had backed out of business deals for less important reasons. Vern hoped that Ellen understood Reardon considered his very manhood at stake!

"Of course, lots of other women have admired your prick, Randy. Ummm, who wouldn't? I think it's a neat one. Honest, I do! Here, let me kiss it for you, please?"

Vern felt anger mingling with admiration for the way Ellen was handling the situation. He felt anger because Ellen had been forced to lie and humble herself in order to save Reardon's precious ego. Ellen had Reardon on his back now, and she began nibbling at the small hard-on. Her tongue rimmed the tiny head and her fingers tickled the light fuzz on the teensy testicles.

Reardon moaned and ran his fingers through Ellen's hair. "Tell me you love my prick," he commanded. "Tell me you think it's a big prick and how much you love to suck my great big hard-on."

"I-I don't know the reason," Ellen said, "but your prick is one of the most exciting organs I've ever seen or-or sucked."

Reardon gave her hair a pull and Vern wanted to retaliate, but he forced himself to remain behind the tree. "Say it's big!"

"Ohhh, yesss, Randy! It's a magnificent prick. I love to suck your monster prick. Ummm, what a giant hard-on. Why it will barely fit in my mouth! Arghmm…Ergm…Grghm…"

"That's better," Reardon said, relaxing and beginning steady hip thrusts-very short ones-at Ellen's nursing mouth. "Yeah…"

Vern shook his head in disgust. For the moment at least, he managed to suppress his jealousy. What amazed him was the incredible line of reasoning this first-rate businessman was employing. He seemed to be deceiving himself intentionally. Yes, he knew his prick was undersized, but instead of accepting this fact and making the best of it, he insisted on being told an untruth. Such a man would be capable of surrounding himself with "Yes-men" who could destroy his own corporation. The whole thing sickened, Vern, but there was nothing he could do.

"Take my balls and my prick into your mouth at the same time-the way Maria did it!" Reardon commanded.

There was a good one, Vern thought. Reardon had just insisted on being told his prick was incredibly enormous, and now he was ordering Ellen to suck his balls and cock simultaneously!

Ellen of course obeyed. Vern watched her cradle the tiny scrotum with her hand, then dip her head and, with one slurping motion, make the cock and balls disappear in her gobbling mouth. Then, wet and glistening, the miniature genitalia would reappear in the moonlight, only to disappear again in Ellen's hungry maw.

"Ohhhhhh, h-heavenly," Reardon moaned, palming Ellen's hanging tits as she labored.

Of course it was heavenly, Vern thought. Who wouldn't think it was heavenly having his cock and balls sucked off at the same time? Well, go ahead and enjoy it, Vern thought angrily. You can't do many normal things with that dinky prick and balls, so you might as well enjoy whatever kinky pleasures remain open to you.

"Now climb onboard and let's fuck," Reardon ordered. "With you on top!"

"First, are you going to sign the contract with Vern?" Ellen asked.

"What is this?" Reardon snapped. "At a time like this, you want to discuss business?"

"I just want to be sure-before I fuck you like you've never been fucked before, lover man. Are you going to sign?"

Reardon was trembling all over. "Yes! Yes!" he screamed. "This has nothing to do with that Now let's fuck! Mount the giant prick before it-it goes away!"

Ellen straddled Reardon, her legs very wide apart in order to get low enough so that her pussy came in contact with the tiny penis. She took the little hard-on between her thumb and forefinger and began rubbing it briskly back and forth against her clit. "Ohhh, that big cockhead of yours is-is driving me crazy!" she intoned. "Randy, don't ever let anybody tell you, you're not hung! Oh, wow!"

Vern could not help laughing. It was one of the most ridiculous sights he had ever seen-Ellen trying to pretend the tiny penis was enormous, trying to keep hold of it, in fact! God, how would she ever manage to achieve any sort of penetration without completely blowing Reardon's sick image of himself as a super-stud?"

"Can you take it all?" Reardon inquired. "I mean, I don't want to hurt you, hon."

Reardon's voice was very deep. Vern began laughing so hard he had to sit down on the grass before he fell down. Hurt her? My God!

"I'll manage it, hon. If you just go easy, ni somehow accommodate you, Randy," Ellen said in a little-girl, breathy voice. "Just ease it in nice and slow…There…There…That's it… ouch! There…now it's in at last…Ummmmmmm!"

Reardon's little hip-thrusts were absurd, and for the first time Vern felt no jealousy whatsoever. Yes, Ellen was carrying out this charade for him, and he loved her as he had never loved her before.

"Take that," Reardon growled. "And that…and that…and that!"

"Easy, baby! Ouch! Ohhhh, but it's soooo good!"

Ellen said. "I didn't know big men could be so gentle."

Vern had viewed all he could stand. He decided to return to his guests and await the return of Ellen and Super-stud. He backed away, ducked in the side entrance and managed to order himself another martini before anyone saw him.

"There's our elusive host," said Elyse Reardon. "Where on earth have you been?"

Vern studied her briefly, wondering if she had to endure ridiculous game-playing in bed with "Randy" Reardon. "I just went looking for my fianc'e and your husband," Vern said. "I assure you they are conversing in a most civilized manner."

"Oh, silly," Elyse Reardon said. "I never, never worry about Randy fooling around."

"Yes, I can well imagine," Vern said.

"Just what do you mean?" Elyse asked.

"Oh, nothing," Vern said. "I meant, with a lovely wife such as you, what man would want to fool around?"

"Yes, yes, that's true," Elyse Reardon said, beaming.

Ellen and Reardon returned a few minutes later. Surprisingly, their clothing was not rumpled; they were completely presentable. Ellen hastily went to old man Wyatt.

"Come now, sir," Ellen said. "You're the only one of the charming gentlemen here I haven't had the pleasure of strolling with."

Wyatt, his eyes twinkling, extended his arm, but Alta Wyatt stepped in. "I'm sorry to be a wet blanket," she said. "But I'm afraid we've all had plenty to drink. Can't we eat? I mean, there's an important announcement to be made regarding certain contracts, right Vernon?"

"Yes, indeed. Do you mind, Mr. Wyatt?" Vern asked.

"No, I guess not," the white-haired gentleman said, smiling. "I'll take a rain check, Ellen."

"Yes indeed, sir," Ellen said, and the entire group went into the large dining room.

They dined on rare roast beef from the buffet, followed by Cherries Jubilee, and then there was cognac and coffee. Finally, it was old man Wyatt who tapped on his water glass with his spoon. He huddled briefly, conferring with Hendricks and Reardon in whispers, then stood up and cleared his throat.

"We're all aware tonight," he began, "that this occasion involves more than just socializing. This is a unique event, in that two new friends of mine had decided to make their decisions regarding possible alliances with Shipley Research Incorporated."

Old man Wyatt paused, surveying the group and smiling particularly at Ellen. "At the risk of bringing up an unpleasant subject, I must say that we had all hoped Miss Maria Reese would be here tonight, for Miss Reese has been a part of our socializing these past weeks."

Old man Wyatt scratched his balls, caught himself and coughed. "However, in the last analysis, Mr. Hendricks and Mr. Reardon, I'm sure, have reached their decisions independent of socializing. Yes, I'm sure their decisions are based solely on the merits of Shipley Research-that is, the job Shipley can do for their companies."

"While it is true that these gentlemen have confided in me that another research corporation has been actively soliciting their business-", Alta Wyatt poked her husband. "Get on with it, dear. We don't have all night!"

Everyone laughed except Vern. This was the first he had heard of another research firm.

"In short," Wyatt said hurriedly, "I believe Mr. Shipley's competitor has lost out, but that is up to Mr. Hendricks and Mr. Reardon to decide. Mr. Hendricks? Will you be the first to let Mr. Shipley know of your decision?"

Lloyd Hendricks started to stand, but his wife held him in place, frantically whispering in his ear.-likewise Reardon's wife, Elyse, was whispering instructions, like a second in a prizefighter's comer.

Finally, Lloyd Hendricks stood, cleared his throat and said, "I must admit that Maria Reese's absence came as a shock to all of us tonight-a severe shock. However, I wish to voice both my wife's and my own approval of the delightful Miss Ellen Lanning. My company is signing the final contract with you, Vern."

Hendricks quickly sat down then, and there was applause, particularly from the wives. Whoever said, 'It's who you know,' is right! Vern thought. It was spooky to think of how much influence Maria had wielded over these people. Thank God for Ellen!

"I would like to join in the decision of Mr. Hendricks of Overseas Air Hontes," Randolph (little prick) Reardon said firmly, glancing at his wife for approval. "Yes, Reardon Electronics is convinced that Shipley Research is the firm for the job of researcher and business consultant."

Vern then made the appropriate thank you speech. He felt far more relieved than any of them knew. When finally he sat down, he was trembling with excitement. With a flair, he kissed Ellen, and all present applauded.

Fifteen minutes later, the three couples were shaking hands with both Vern and Ellen preparatory to leaving. The goodbyes were lengthy, and Vern noticed that the women seemed to be treating Ellen as though she were a queen. This puzzled him, and when they were all alone, driving to Ellen's apartment, he asked: "Just, what the hell kind of spell did you cast over those biddies, anyway?"

Ellen then told him about Stan Kettering-that Stan had provided her with the file on everyone who had been present tonight

"Your partner is a very thorough man, Vern," she said. "When he researches a prospective client he even engages a private detective. Did you know that all three women there tonight have boyfriends they are currently seeing on the sly?"

Vern shook his head. "You mean-"

"Precisely," Ellen said. "I simply whispered the names of their boyfriends in their ears and told them to 'cooperate or else!'"

"Ellen, you are ruthless," Vern said. "Absolutely ruthless."

"I know but it seemed the only way to get those accounts for you-and-and get you for me."

"Ruthless and beautiful," Vern said. "I'll never know how to thank you." Vern kissed her cheek. "But you really didn't have to-to screw Hendricks and Reardon then, did you?"

Ellen ran her hand along the inside of Vern's leg, rippling her fingernails. She shrugged. "One never can be sure," she said. "I had to play it safe." She frowned. "How do you know I screwed them?"

"Because I was watching."

"Then you know I didn't really enjoy myself. I mean, Reardon didn't exactly make me climax, dear."

"True," Vern said. "We'll take care of that little matter at your place." Impulsively, Vern pulled the car to a screeching halt at the side of the road. "Damn it, Ellen," he said. "How would you like to be a full partner-my partner?"

"I thought you'd never ask." She was crying now. "Yes, Vern. Oh, yes! But-but don't you think you ought to make Stan Kettering a full partner in the business, too?"

"You're right," Vern said. "After tonight, he deserves it. Yes."
