experienced.
Black hair. Lean but strong.”
    Maxie looked
expectantly at Cherry.
    “What?” Cherry
was feeling a little flustered.
    “Who would you
hire as your pleasure machine?”
    Pleasure
machine? It sort of had a tantalizing ring to it. “Well…”
    “Yes?” Susie
and Maxie looked eagerly at her.
    “Well, I guess
I’d ask for a man with long dark hair, but it has to be neat and
clean.”
    “Of course.”
Susie shuddered. “Dirty and dishevelled - yuck”
    “Strong
features. Piercing eyes. Full lips, but masculine, you know?”
Cherry warmed up as she thought of her dream man. “I’d want him to
be well-built. Some good muscle on him.”
    “Gotta have
muscle.” Maxie nodded.
    “Tall. Big
hands.”
    “All the better
to cup you with, my dear.” Susie winked.
    Cherry grinned.
“Big enough to cup me with. Long fingers.”
    “Oh yeah.”
Maxie slid down off the armrest to sprawl on the sofa. “Long
fingers for stroking. Sure fingers.”
    “I think I’m
getting wet.” Susie muttered.
    Cherry could
picture him in her mind. “Long, strong legs.”
    “You’re right
into the long and strong, aren’t you?” Maxie sighed dreamily.
    “Yeah.” Cherry
moistened her lips. “He’d be a real stallion in bed.”
    “I may have to
go home and jump Ben.”
    They sat in
silence for several minutes. Cherry thought about her dream man.
She could hire one like him. Hire her dream man to make love to
her, touch her, kiss her…
    “One phone
call, Cherry.” It was almost as though Susie could read her mind.
“One phone call and your dream man could be right here instead of
us.”
    “Virginity
gone.” Maxie snapped her fingers. “Kiss, cuddle, mad monkey
sex.”
    Cherry looked
at them. “Hey, I’m not picking up the phone now to hire an
escort.”
    Maxie sighed.
“I told you she wouldn’t go for it.”
    “Not straight
away, but maybe later.” Susie’s eyes twinkled. “Now you have the
idea, girlfriend, you can stew on it all night.”
    “I don’t
know—”
    “You have
time.” Susie stood up. “The rest of your life, in fact.”
    “Yeah.” Maxie
unfolded her slim length from the sofa. “Just don’t leave it too
long or your vagina will rust up.”
    “You are so
vulgar sometimes.” Cherry stood up also.
    Susie patted
her shoulder. “Just promise me you’ll think about it.”
    “I’ll think
about it.” Not.
    Susie looked
closely at her, a funny little expression on her face. Then she
nodded. “Well, gotta go and by some groceries for tea. Catch you at
work tomorrow.”
    “Okay.”
    Standing on the
veranda, Cherry saw her friends off and then stood staring out at
the garden. Hire a male escort? Ridiculous. There was no way she
could hire a male escort.
    Could she?
    Going inside,
she shut the door with a decisive snap, but her movements back into
the lounge were slow. Picking up the romance novel, she looked at
the cover.
    The hero and
heroine entwined in a heated embrace. Something she’d never
experienced in her life.
    Their job is to
please you. You, Cherry. You can have that closeness. Susie’s words
echoed in her mind.
    Going into the
bedroom, she looked at herself in the mirror. The woman staring
back at her was short, plus-sized, an over-blown hourglass. She had
nice hair, thick and brown and bouncy, and her eyes were pretty, so
she’d been told. Not quite blue or green, just a shade between
each, outlined with thick black lashes. But there was nothing
remarkable about her face.
    She was plain
in a pretty way, or pretty in a plain way, however you looked at
it.
    Cherry sighed,
a wave of longing going through her.
    No man had ever
found her pretty enough to pursue. To kiss and hold and want to
take to his bed. But a male escort… Their job is to please you.
You, Cherry. You can have that closeness.
    Frizz meowing
around her legs made her look down and she smiled sadly. “Yeah,
maybe if I had the guts, Frizz, I would do it. But I’m not like
Susie. I can’t pay a man to make
