“Well, it’s evidence in a crime,” I said. “It’s gotta be processed and it’s really the assistant DA assigned to the case who’ll decide when it’s no longer needed. But with high value personal property in a robbery case like this they’ll most likely catalog it, take pictures, and give it right back to you.”
“I don’t know how to thank you,” he said.
“Not a problem; your tax dollars at work. See you tonight.” We hung up.
As we pulled off the freeway to head west towards LAX Jay said, “Johnny, would you like me to come inside with you to manage the luggage or would you rather I stay with the limo so that I can quickly pick you up when you get back to the curb?”
I said, “I’d like you to come along inside with me and meet the girls, Jay, but there’s no way I’m going to let you lug bags.”
“Sexist, are we Johnny?”
“You bet. I haul the bags and hold the doors open and stand up when a woman comes to the table or leaves it.”
“Good boy,” she said. “Your parents raised you right.”
I didn’t tell her that there were no parents involved in my upbringing.
We parked the limo in the short-term parking structure and walked to the American Airlines terminal and got as close as we could to where the disembarking passengers would be exiting the secure area. We didn’t have long to wait. I saw the girls come flouncing past security and my heart leapt. After being with these two wonderful, sexy beauties for nearly a year I was deeply in love with both of them and dreadfully missed them on those rare occasions when we were apart for any length of time.
They saw me and yelled my name and both ran into my waiting arms. We group hugged and I kissed Dawn deeply and then did the same to Mary Beth. We had long since established a protocol that it didn’t matter who I kissed first, or who I made the first sexual move towards when we were in bed together. We were all in love with each other and each of them was happy to see me make the other one feel good, and that was all that mattered.
“How was the flight?” I said.
“Great,” said Mary Beth. “No problems at all. We might have had a little too much to drink, though. The flight attendant kept coming around and refilling our wine glasses.”
“The perils of flying first class,” I said.
“It sure helps pass the time, though,” said Dawn.
“Girls, I’d like you to meet Jay,” I said. “Jay, meet my lovers Dawn and Mary Beth.” I pointed at each woman as I said their name. Our little supermodel stepped forward and shook hands gravely. My girls looked at me and gave me the same quizzical expression.
“Jay is our limo driver,” I said.
“Limo? Yay, goodie!!” Mary Beth jumped up and down and clapped her hands.
Dawn was staring at Jay. “You’re beautiful,” she said, and then looked at me. “Have you…?”
“No,” I said.
Jay understood what Dawn was asking. “I made a run at him before I knew about you two and he made a point of telling me that he was faithful to you,” she said. “It was cute and honorable, and sexy. And frustrating.”
The girls stared at her.
“Some of Thomas’ women made it pretty clear that he could have sex with them, too, but he turned them down,” Jay said.
“Thomas’ women?” said Dawn.
“I’ll tell you later,” I said.
“We decided that if you had fooled around while we were gone we would forgive you,” Mary Beth said. “We took care of each other’s needs all week but you had nobody.”
“Doubly frustrating now,” Jay said.
Dawn and Mary Beth looked at her, then at each other, and both of them grinned. I knew that Jay would be joining us in bed.
“Yes, I’ve been faithful and now I’m so fucking horny I can’t stand it,” I said. “Let’s go home fast.”
We collected the girls’ luggage and put it in the limo and while Jay drove us home we killed a bottle and a half of Cristal. I had both Dawn and Mary Beth topless by the time Jay parked at the curb. They got out that way and walked towards the house, sipping champagne. A neighbor guy jogged right past them without even looking back. Maybe gay, or maybe just used to that kind of thing in Malibu.
I looked at Jay. She was giving me a “What should I do now, Master?” look.
“Come to bed with us. Please?” I said.
She let out a breath and her face lit up and she grinned at me. “I thought you’d never ask,” she said. I grabbed her hand and held it as we walked to the house. Down the hall I saw my two topless beauties staring out the screen door into the backyard.
“Johnny…?” Dawn said. I walked to the kitchen and looked.
Six teenage schoolgirls were cavorting naked in and around our pool, laughing and splashing and making merry. I glanced at the bar: all the liquor seemed to be in the right place and at the right levels. Good girl, Laura, I thought.
“I can explain,” I said. “I think.”
“No need,” Jay said. “I can vouch for you. ‘Honorable’ covers this situation, too.”
Dawn giggled. Mary Beth looked at Jay. “We both trust Johnny completely,” she said. “We’ve been through some tough shit and he’s proven himself more than anyone should ever have to. And we know Laura and Johnny’s not in trouble here. But I’m curious. How can you vouch for him when you don’t really know him?”
“I have a gift,” she said simply. “It doesn’t fail me. I meet a person and make eye contact and talk to them about almost anything and I can intuit their character. I met Johnny a couple of hours ago and within five minutes I knew that he was honest, brave, humble, emotionally open, and a caring and giving lover. That’s why I offered myself to him.” She looked at both women. “Before I knew he was committed to you,” she said.
Dawn said, “Jay, would you like to find out just how caring and giving a lover Johnny is? We’d like you to come to bed with us. I can tell that Johnny would really love it if you would.”
“I would be honored to,” Jay said. “Thank you.”
“We girls can’t guarantee that we’ll keep our hands off of you, Jay,” Mary Beth said. “In fact I can pretty much guarantee that we’ll have our hands and tongues all over you.”
Jay’s hands flew to her cheeks and her face formed a shocked expression. “Oh, heavens,” she said. “Whatever shall I do in the face of such debauchery?”
Mary Beth grinned and grabbed her hand and pulled her towards the stairs. “Off through the looking glass we go then, Alice,” she said. And off they went.
