Earning Money ( 0 )


“ I need money"she was saying,"I have to find $ 2800 for a European tour."

I looked at my babe"A what turn ?"

"In May Betsy, Alice and Talia are going to Europe for three month. They want me to go too but I do n't induce enough money, I need $ 2800 and I need it in nine workweek. Do you have some I can borrow ?"

"Hey, in case you have n't noticed, I go to college, I do n't have a fucking supernumerary quarter much less a few hundred lying around. I 'm broke."

"I ca n't ask mom, she 's always busted too. What the hell can I do Sam ? I really want to go with them."

I sat across the cafe table from my vernal sis and studied her face as she mulled over her lunch. Keri is 20 and just graduated from a community college. To lionize she and her three lifelong friends wanted to expend some fourth dimension touring Europe. My sister is a sandbag untried peach with farsighted thick auburn hair, Pomaderris apetala optic that often shaded to green and a body to continue a few million male fantasies alive. At 5'10 she was the tallest of the four friends, in hound she was almost as tall as my 6'2. As her older brother I spent years watching her grow from a gangling track thin ugly duckling to the gorgeous long necked swan she is today. I had a lot of ally that were my Friend only because of her. They were n't hanging around because of me, they were hanging around watching Keri grow from a slight girl to the wet ambition she is today.

"Sell your body,"I teased,"with your mouth and ramification you could earn that much in a week."

Keri looked up at me"Do n't be an ass, I 'm serious."

deuce-ace days later I was invited to a big party to observe soul 's milestone birthday and because the guy 's parents were loaded it was at a local country club. It was a couple only do and since I was between lady friend I asked my babe if she wanted to go. The ball was semi-formal so Keri dressed for the occasion in a bender hugging adulteress unripe satin frock that revealed the outline of her body from neck opening to ankles. The entrust side of the clothes was split to mid-thigh to give her legs room to go when she walked. The neckline plunged low across her breasts exposing a pleasant vista of mystifying firm cleavage, jade jewelry accented the attire. My Sister was as alluring as any woman at the fete, she raised the testosterone level of every swinging dick in the place.

"I thought you were broke, where in underworld did you get that getup ?"I asked her.

"I borrowed the clothes and the jewelry is the comfortably fake clobber I could by at object. I wouldn't want anybody to count at it up close."

"The way you look a lot of guy rope would want to get up close ; I 'd sure as nether region like to meet the woman who loaned you the dress. Not all the women here will be overjealous, but most of them will be watching their men carefully."



Keri smiled coyly at me"Too bad you're not a rattling appointment, it would be fun giving the girls here a pinch of what I could do for a man. I bet some of these joint close their eyes in the dark to keep from seeing what is happening to them."

As the political party progressed I spent a lot time with my buddy while my sister found a couple of other young sweetheart to natter with. Occasionally some guy would draw near her for a dance or to offer her a drunkenness. I looked across the room to see Keri talking to a somewhat black girl when suddenly she blushed across her cheeks and down her neck. She stared at the girl then spun and walked away. She spotted me and came across the way in a nervous hurry"Sam, you wo n't believe what just happened ! See that girl in the red dress ? She propositioned me !"

"Propositioned ? She wants to take you to bed ?"

"No, not with her,"my sister whispered,"with a man. She 's an escort, there are three of them here, they were invited to the political party by some guy. She 's gon na get paid money for fucking someone later."

That little Revelation of Saint John the Divine did n't storm me, not at the floor of club we were enjoying at the club"Why would she distinguish you that ?"

Keri looked at me with blanket, disbelieving eyes,"They need a fourth girl for later, she thought I 'm like her, so she asked me what inspection and repair I worked for and if I could do a little pursuit work. She 's a fucking prostitute and she thought I 'm one too !"My sister was in shock.

I 'd had enough to drink to muddle rational idea."So go with them, do a little lip on some dick and charge a couple hundred. Screw him and get another couple. Inferno Keri, you might even enjoy the work."I smiled my skillful'I 'm kidding'smile at her ; my babe fled from my insane scuttlebutt to the bar.

A few moments later I felt fingers brush my arm, when I turned I was looking into the deep night almond shaped eyes of the black call girl, her eyes made me think she had some Asian heritage."I 'm meritless if I offended your girl"she said.

Redeemer she was pretty,"She 's my sis and she could use a few lessons in reality"I returned.

Just as she was about to say something Thomas More Keri came back. She stopped next to me facing the missy,"O.K., what would I do and how much could I bring in ?"

At 5'8 the poor woman had to look up into my sister 's eyes"Serious ?"

"Yeah, why not, I 'm adventurous, I can try this too but I do n't want an old fat slob hanging on me."

I stood in stunned silence as my sis was led away to a niche to peach privately.

Keri left a few minutes later with the margin call girl. I was still standing flabbergasted when I saw a Patrick White stretch limo pull up in front of the building and the two got in. Moments later two more attractive Loretta Young women and four men came out of the tail and got into the car too. My head was spinning as it pulled away. My Sister was in that car and she was going to fuck one of the hombre that followed her into it ; maybe she was going to get fucked by more than one. I left the political party and drove domicile in a daze. I 'd been kidding when I told Keri she might make believe good money with her body but the lure of hard cash ultimately proved potent than her modestness.

I dreamed about Keri, my sis 's leg were wide open and some old wind was stuffing fifty dollar bill Dollar bills up her twat while she cooed about traveling to Anatole France. I did n't wake up in a sudor ; I woke up with a rock candy solid foul-up in my fist. For the first time in my life sentence I throttled my erection while thinking about what Keri could do with her consistence.

It was two more Clarence Shepard Day Jr. before I saw her again. She came into my tiny flat in a state of matter of nervous embarrassment. I did n't wait for an gap ; I asked her straight out"Did you fuck one of those guys ?'

As soon as the question hit the air she visibly relaxed then smiled"I got five hundred dollars for letting him. Temple, the pitch-dark girl, she got five hundred for setting it up. Sam, that was a thousand fucking dollars for three hr of playday. It was awesome !"

Once again I was surprised into silence. Keri was bubbling with superbia that she had traded her virtue for money. As I sat there and stared at my Sister the hooker, my misrepresented mind wanted to hear the details but I knew I should n't ask. I need n't give worried, Keri was so thrilled about her sudden wealth she continued,"We went from the political party to the Broadmoor Hotel, you know, the tall one on the lake shore. Those guy cable took us to the penthouse ; the penthouse Sam, then the real political party started. I was scared and did n't know what to do so I just followed Miriam 's lead."

"Miriam ?"

"She 's a Marilyn Marilyn Monroe clone, I like her, she told me to appease loose and relish the might I have as a woman over those guys. She said it would be no different than dating, that the number 1 time is always nerve racking but exciting. Anyway, I ended up with some sea captain of diligence who said I reminded him of his niece. He wanted me from behind and the whole meter he screwed me he kept calling me Valerie. When he was done I asked him who Valerie was and he confessed she was his niece. I asked him why he did n't fuck her instead of a proxy and he said that would be incest and she probably would n't do that. I suggested he tell her outright that she will inherit a bundle if she goes to bed with him."

"You said that ?"

"Yeah, I told him to put her on his payroll department and the pill then he could give birth all the fun he wanted when they went on patronage trips. I 'll bet she does too, he has a lot of money. After that we went back to the main room where Miriam was sucking a cock while another guy recorded it with a video cam. It was a unusual night."

"He wear a safety ?"

"Of path, synagogue insisted, she told them that the party was over if they did n't, but Miriam did n't when she mouth fucked that guy, she swallowed him whole."

My nuts were pulling up, my cock swelling as I imagined my sister getting screwed by a stranger. I 'd never put whore and Keri into the same sentence before but she was sitting with me telling me how she sold her organic structure."You going to do it again, you need a lot Sir Thomas More money for your trip ?"

Bright red spots grew in her cheeks, she cast her eyes down"Temple asked me if I would consultation with her agency, they have an opening and she said she would recommend me."

"You have a job interview to be a call-girl ? I 'd sure like to read that resume"I teased.

Keri smiled shyly,"I 'm sure it would n't be as thrilling as to the highest degree hoi polloi suspect, I 'm pretty limited in my private life."

"sound to me like you are about to blow up those limits."

She got up but before she left she turned to me"Sam, this would be a irregular job, I told her I would do this until I could take the tripper with my Friend but if I become even a character time harlot, what will you think of me ? I mean will you still like me, honour me ? And you wo n't tell mom or Kat will you ?"Kat is our younger sister.

Again I joked"Only if you set me up for free dates with your new friends."

I did n't hear from Keri for five years. I was getting nervous, waiting for a outcry or visit but I was hesitating to prognosticate her. On day six my speech sound trilled, the ID said 'Sis1',"Hi, how you been ?"was my opening.

Keri did n't bother with nice conversation, she went directly to the point"Hey, our chauffeur got into a bar fight and ca n't drive us tonight, you want to take a stretch limo and earn some Cash ?"

"I take it you got the job ?"

"Yeah, but we can tattle about that later, we need a driver, can you assist ?"

Again my libido reacted to my sister 's unlawful new line of oeuvre. My egg pulled up snug as I imagined watching four girls in the rear-view mirror seducing soul"What 's the address ?"

I cleaned up, found set aside vesture for driving a limo then went to bump Keri. She was sitting in the hall of an elegant historical dwelling in old town waiting for me. I got officially introduced to the alluring milk coffee skinned girl Temple then drove them in the Mercedes limo to pick up a third hooker. I watched them chat and gossip as I drove across the metropolis to an exclusive beach social movement home. synagogue told me to sit and look, they would be out in two hours."Keri told me you have a 2nd degree Black Belt in Tae Kwan Do, do you ?"

"Yeah, I teach it on weekends."

She handed me a cell phone"trade good, this is a hot line from me to you. If it rings it means there is trouble, do n't bother to respond it, just come in and get us."

"What if the doorway is locked ?"

She smiled prettily"Kung Fu it undecided with your head."

Two hours later we were on our way back from the political party. I watched in the mirror again only this clock time the girlfriend were changing from work clothes to street clothes, they did n't appear bothered to let me view them as they changed, not even the semi-nude platinum blonde Miriam could prevent my heart off synagogue, she was hot ! Keri leaned through the curtain raising in the derriere buns glass"takings us to Burger b, we 're hungry."

We ordered a latterly dark meal and I sat back and listened to the three girls talk about their 'dates'. I was listening to them hash out the men and getting a completely new take on animation and sex. It was fascinating and a little arousing to listen them, even Keri talked like she 'd been hooking for age. temple got up to refill her drink while my sister and Miriam continued to compare notes, when she did n't come back right away I turned to look for her and saw that two big mullet haired street thugs had her cornered. I could n't hear the conversation but it was plain to see she wanted to get away but they were blocking her.

I eased out of my chair and came up to them from behind"Hey, trash, let her add up back to the table."

The larger of the two spun to face me ; he looked me up and down as I eyed the three bolt of lightning in his give brow. He had five smashed rings in his go out ear and a vauntingly red wanderer tat on his neck. Staring at me with humble, vicious meth tainted center he snarled"nooky off, me and the lilliputian darkie kick are getting to eff each other."

I reached around him for synagogue 's arm and started to pull her away but big boy put his hand on my wrist and squeezed it, expecting me to throw hers. In to a lesser extent than a instant he was sitting on his ass against a counter and the other scumbag was against the wall with my forearm across his trachea."My appointment wants to come back to the table, do you object ?"

The all-inclusive eyeball thug shook his straits ; I nudged the one on the storey with my foot, he nodded his head, giving me permission to take Temple with me. Temple hooked her arm in mine and walked happily with me back to the other two missy.

ternion solar day later Keri invited me to come across the cleaning woman who owned the escort service of process ; she needed a new device driver and bodyguard. synagogue met us at the door then led the way to the upper floor of the old mansion. The cleaning woman who greeted me with an outstretched hand and firm shake was a beautiful fifty-something disastrous woman. synagogue introduced her"Sam, this is Stacy. Mama, this is Sam, he 's the one I told you about."

mamma ? She called her mama ? Stacy looked into my surprised optic"It looks like my daughter did n't evidence you this is a mob clientele, I apologize for her, she has a propensity to overlook small details."Temple was dismissed with a short nod then Stacy led me to her office.

In the 60 minutes we talked Stacy was interrupted various sentence by the telephone set. After the fourth time she complained,"I have to get a phone miss ; I 'm too busy to be setting designation all the time."By the time she was done interviewing me I learned that besides my sister and her girl there were seven other women working for her. Most of them were college coeds working for tutelage. Her business was fluid so every once in a piece one would move on and another would come in. Her replete time chauffeur and physical structure guard had pulled a knife on some guy in a bar engagement so she fired him. I did n't hesitate when she offered me the job. Compared to sitting in a stall part time for $ 10.57 an hour what she was offering was a real life fantasy.

"Should I be pimping ? I mean if someone asks me to set them up with a girl do I tell apart you or them ?"

"Pimping is such an surly word ; we procure, arrange and manage. My girls are not street woman of the street and if I caught one acting like that, she'd be out on the succeeding bus. What you did for my daughter the other dark is exactly what I need you to do, shut down troubler and ram the car. If mortal asks you about our service, get a business posting, Temple or I will aim care of the rest."

"If they do n't possess a patronage card ?"

"They do n't get considered for our services."The phone was ringing when I left.

For the adjacent two hebdomad that 's exactly what I did. I quit my mundane little part sentence job and drove almost every Night, taking the girls to guest or driving girls and clients to situation. I rarely waited anywhere for a party to end because someone usually needed a ride to or from somewhere. I drove Keri as often as any other girl, it was plain she was becoming very popular.

I was driving tabernacle and Sally home from a date when effect turned even more scheme. After dropping off wisecrack, a petite 23 year old with a impregnable Irish Gaelic lilt, Temple moved from the back of the car to the passenger face rear end."Do you mind if I sit here ?'”

"It 's your car, sit anywhere you want."

She had changed from her working apparel to shorts and a army tank top so I was getting a adept survey of her very shapely legs as she sat facing me, her back against the door."So, you have a girl ?"

I glanced at her"No, driving this monster car takes up pretty much well-nigh of my unloosen clock time. I go to grade in the cockcrow, and afternoon. On Sabbatum and Dominicus I teach martial arts for five hours. I have n't even had fourth dimension to jack off since I started driving."

eve white teeth flashed from the darkened Interior Department of the car"Take me to dinner, it 's a slow Night, only two girl are working and they got picked up by the node 's car."

We ended up at an Outback steak sign. Temple and I sipped beers, had dinner party and talked about nothing in superior general for almost two hours ; she paid the poster then asked me to ride her home.

In the car she asked me"Did you ever escort and AF girl ?"

"AF as in Another Fucking ?"

She snorted a flying joke"No you dolt, African American, blacken. You know, an alluring dark skinned Loretta Young woman, after all, we 're all pink in the inside."

I checked her again,"No Leah, I 've never gone to the Dark Side."

"okay then, did you ever think you could date a working girl ? Someone like me or Keri ?"I winced only slightly when she reminded me of what my sister had become. near of the time I did n't call up about what went on behind close up doors but Temple 's question reminded me I was driving a bunch of whores to exploit and back.

"Is there a point to this line of questions ? I mean why should it matter what I think or who I date ?"

She took a deeply breath, glanced out the side window then looked back at me."When we are working there is no affaire with the guy except physical. We have a job to do and we do it without emotional bond. It 's not abhorrent to us to do intimate stuff with the men, but it 's also not fulfilling, not satisfying. Some of the girls have steady fellow, one of them is married, but some like Keri and me do n't have any personal interests away from work. I miss that, I used to date, get seduced and have fun during sex. I miss the excitement of being chased, the emotional involvement."She turned away from me to ascertain the streetlights roll by.

Did you ever have one of those moments when you knew no matter what you did, your future would change one way or another ? This was one of mine. I turned away from our address and take to Lake Front driving force where there is a mile long walking track between the street and the lake. I parked the stretchability limo horizontally across five parking bit and invited Temple to take the air with me on the shoring. The delight that sparkled in her eye told me I had scored points. I took her deal when she climbed out of the car then held it again off and on as we walked and talked. By the clip we got back to the limousine not only was I physically attracted to her, I was feeling an embryonal emotional involvement.

I went by the heroic old household the next dawn ; temple met me at the threshold. The brightness of her welcoming grinning lit up my inwardness, her eyes kindled intimacy. I had invited her to my dojo to watch me learn my Martial liberal arts class, she had accepted. As we climbed into my 9 year old Ford she commented"This car is really small, I like that, it puts me closer to you."I leaned only slightly and gave her a first kiss, a light peck on sweet lips.

The smile in her eyes let me know I had made the exactly rightfield move. Not too strong but not unsure either. She said softly"I told mama we are taking the night off, we don't have to go to work after your classes.

temple was just waking up when my babe walked into my bedroom looking for me. She took one look at my overnight guest and lit up with obvious glee."Oh my god, this is great ! Get up I have to talk to you"she said to me.

Once the shock of being discovered with my employer in my bed faded I asked my sister what she wanted. She wasn't leaving the elbow room so I thought ‘ fuck it'and stood up in my full phase of the moon gloriole, as nude as the day I was born. Keri didn't flinch as she casually checked me up and down, her eyes shortly lingering on my hobble dick."You know what Sam ; I have way much Thomas More money than I need to go on that misstep now."

She did n't sound very stimulate when she said it so I threw back at her"But ?"tabernacle got up and walked to the lav, the sight of her body stirred my dick, it started to well slightly. Again my baby watched it as it twitched and fattened.

"But - I do n't have it off if I should take off now. My job livelihood me busy and if I go Stacy will throw to find someone else, I might miss it."She looked accentuate.

My new girlfriend called from the toilet,"Does that mean you want to work with us permanently ?"

Keri blossomed red as the admission fee stalled in her throat. Hesitantly she said to me but Temple could hear"Yes, I want to hold back working, it's kind of exciting and can be fun too and the money is ripe. Is that wrong ?"

I looked at my tall, beautiful, exquisitely built sister"No Keri, it isn't faulty. You have talent, you have the equipment, take advantage of it while you can. commit some of the pay and in a spell you will be able-bodied to pull back and take as many head trip as you want."

Just then synagogue came back and stood beside me. She looked up at Keri then said"There's only one thing left for us to do if you want to appease with us full clock time. Every one of our girl is asked to bed the chauffeur, I haven't told Sam this yet but he is going to do it all nine of us in the next few weeks."She turned to me,"I really like you and what we did final night may be the start of a very dainty common soldier human relationship but I need you to get a sampling of all the young woman. Its something my mother is intransigent about, I'm not sure why but if you're up to it, you can start right now with her."

I stepped back from her"I should sleep together my sister ? Now, with you here and all that ?"

Temple smiled beguilingly,"And all that. Today she is n't your sis, she is one of the girls. Consider this the final exam job audience for both of you."

Keri blossomed red and looked at me for a hint. Even though the melodic theme of screwing my baby was causing my intellect to quake in fear of the forbidden, I felt my crackpot pull up business firm. She stood back watching me with cautiousness then started pulling her clothes off. By the prison term she was naked synagogue had left to make breakfast. Keri took a cryptical breath that seemed to wash off away her uncertainty then took my manus and led me to the top executive sized playground. By the time she and I laid down my cock was rock operose. In a swank our genetic bond was forgotten.

I 'd fucked Temple three time the Nox before but I could palpate another lading of kitty-cat juice filling my nuts."Do I need a safety ?"I asked my sister quietly.

She whispered back"No, we can do this Au natural."synagogue said that I had to fuck all the little girl so I assumed I did n't consume to constitute it a tenacious intense, highly stimulating encounter. I rolled up and over Keri, she opened her retentive peg to let me in. I penetrated Keri easily and in moments she and I were fucking.

Her reaction to me inside her startled me. Keri arched her back, raised her pelvic arch and began to undulate as I slid in and out of her. She was heating up fast, I could find her puss warming, swelling and flowing with lust. The more I fucked her the looser she got, the to a greater extent turned-on she became. Fingernails raked my back, peg wrapped around my second joint and Keri began to huff formless Logos when my groin banged into hers. All of a sudden my sister arched back, her legs charge straight down, toes pointed to the end of the bed. She began to gasp rapidly as an orgasm slammed into her heart endings. She shook and vibrated from metrical foot to breasts then collapsed on the bed. I 'd cum thrice with tabernacle that Nox so my clump were still building to a gala affair but my Sister had n't climaxed in weeks so it was n't surprising that she got off so fast.

Temple had come back to the chamber just as Keri went hobble, she pushed me off my sister to my back, grabbed my standing pole then threw her legs over my lap, centered her body over my cock and lowered herself onto it. Only seconds after I had fucked Keri to an orgasm I had a sec hot wet puss pulling on my hard-on. The show with Keri must have been a knock-down drug for Temple, she was hissing and panting as she slid her consistency on my barb. My nut were beginning to bloat, my cock engorging with life sentence forces when the stunning little AF hit her own peak again. She bounced on me, inviting me as deeply as I could get as she shuddered and moaned.

tabernacle fell down with her read/write head on my chest"Oh my god Sam,"she panted,"I like that. Are you ready to cum ?"She fell off my lap then looked at Keri who had been watching us have intercourse."fill her up Sam, screw the redheaded whore until your musket ball fall off."Keri 's smile and the delight that showed in her eyes told me she was willing to let me.

I said to Keri,"Roll over, to your stomach."

When she complied I got between her legs, my retentive punishing erection hovering over her business firm stave ass then slipped between her stage and into her again. It did n't take long. Fucking both women had worked me up to a point where just a few thrusts into her cunt put me over the top. Keri whispered her satisfaction and temple caressed my ass as I came in a serial of hanker mystifying seizures, filling my red headed sister.

After a few minutes of afterglow and floating down from our sexual highs the two girls headed for the exhibitor. They did n't want to waste water or time so they showered together while I made coffee tree. They wandered into the kitchen wrapped only in towels where we sat and talked about that nights work agenda then the two got dressed to leave. temple gave me a very intimate osculation and promised she would be back soon. Keri gave me a shut hug too and when she did she murmured"I never thought you and I could do that but I have n't gotten off so hard in a yearn time."

"Does that signify you're coming back for more ?"

She smiled easily,"You 're fucking my political boss, how would it be if I got between you two ?"

"She 's my boss too remember."

My sister slipped a hand down and smoothed it over my cock"I do remember, and I might just come back for more ; with her permission of course."

temple who had been listening to us put in"Do n't get too set on fucking only her and me, you still have another seven little girl to sample."

In between driving the missy and my soldierly artistry classes I was getting laid fast and often. In three workweek my sex life was Temple, quip, Margo, tabernacle, Alice, Angie, synagogue, Temple, Keri, Rhiannon, Alice again, Belle, tabernacle and finally Miriam.

Miriam and Alice had charming tongues and Rhiannon liked it up the ass. She was the only married girl and her husband would n't edge fuck her so she sold it for her own pleasure. Angie and Margo let me have it only because it was voice of the job but the others gave me some spirited sex. I was n't a client and for some ground that seemed to let them enjoy my caller more. After I was done sampling the staff Temple and I settled into an almost monogamous human relationship ; almost monogamous because she is a harlot and I was banging Keri every once in a while.

It 's been long over a year since my sister and I started working for the bureau. Temple and I have moved in together, Keri found a boyfriend that accepted her line of credit of work and still has n't gone on her European slip. Two girls left the business to be replaced by two more. It was my sad responsibility to serve the new vociferation girl through the audience cognitive process by fucking them, both were eager to get the job and made sure I had something positive to tell Stacy.

Recently Stacy complained again to Temple about being the telephone receptionist and announced she was ready to lease a fille, someone who had a vocalisation that could entice customers over the speech sound. All of us, the nine women and I were asked if we knew anyone who could grow on a guy with just her voice. Both Keri and I came up with an immediate answer.

Kathleen. Kat, as we called her is another stunning new lulu who had just turned 19. She has a husky but silken part that both Keri and I agreed was the most allure we ever heard over the headphone. We invited Kat to audience with Stacy and were delighted when our younger sister was hired to set up dates and schedules for the firm. Even though she was hired to act the phone Kat started the job with the understanding that she might also be asked to prostitute her body if there was a shortage of young woman. Since she agreed to become a half-time call girl I had to put her through the final audience ; it was only after some encouragement from Keri she hesitantly agreed to let me fuck her. I found out my younger sister likes getting screwed from behind while on her script and knees.

The early day Temple asked me if I could have a go at it for money.

"What do you signify ?"

"I mean mama is thinking of expanding the company. Sometimes Kat gets calls for men, women away from dwelling like to get laid too. I was thinking you can facilitate while we start interviewing male person escorts."

"Who would drive the car ?"

Temple put her arms around my neck, pulled me down for a soft candy kiss, a payoff"Me."

"And who is going to interview the men ?"

"Your Sister already volunteered."

"Which one ?"

"Actually, both. ”
