"I know," I said. "He's doing it because he is a kind man and because he doesn't like women to be abused by men and you are being abused aren't you. If you stay you'll end up as a hotel call girl and he doesn't want that for you: even if you didn't want to join us."
"I don't know what to say. Yes, of course I want the job and somewhere decent to live. I've only got one room now and it's a dump but it's all I could afford." I smiled and hugged her.
"Now," said Mike taking control again, "how much money are we talking about here." She looked away, embarrassed at having to admit the need. She was a proud lady was Amy and she didn't like being in this position. "Look," Mike said softly, "don't worry. It's only money and, if it makes you feel better, you can pay it back out of your salary from Nardo. I don't mind really. We have to sort the money out otherwise this guy here has still got you under his thumb."
She looked at me and I nodded, then she looked at him saying, "Oh thank you. I'm so embarrassed. It's €2500 for the manager and I owe my landlord about €800. I don't need to pay any more tuition fees for three months but then it's €2500."
"OK," said Mike. "You need about €5000 to pay everything straight away and to leave you some spending money. Does that sound enough Lena? We can sort out the tuition and university fees later."
I looked at Amy, "Will that be OK?"
"Oh yes, miles." She started to cry, "I'm sorry, I don't know what to say. I'm so lucky you found me. I was so frightened. I didn't know what they'd do to me."
I cuddled her and stroked her hair, "There, there," I said stroking her hair. She was older than me but was treating me like her mum or her big sister. My how I'd grown. She continued to sob gently on my shoulder and then, as her worries receded, she calmed down. She looked around at the trolley. "Oh heck," she said, "I'll get in terrible trouble."
Mike laughed, "I shouldn't worry about that, you'll be packing up this afternoon. Here's what we'll do. Lena and I will have to go out in a minute to get some cash to sort this out. I'll phone your boss and apologise for keeping you talking so that should be OK. We'll have lunch up here at 1:30 so make sure you bring it up to us. When you've unloaded I'll come back down with you and watch you repay the money to him. We'll make sure to do it in front of some other staff members then I'll have a quiet personal word with him just so he won't bother you again. This evening we'll go out to dinner, I'll phone Nardo and get him to book a decent place," he said to me.
"Oh," said Amy, "Errrm, I don't have any errr clothes to wear to a decent place."
"Oh you poor thing." I looked her up and down. "I reckon I've should have something in there that will fit you. Mike, we'll have to get Amy some decent clothes."
"Mmm, why don't you get Sally and Jo to take Amy out next week. She can help with the wedding preparations." Amy looked puzzled so I quickly explained about Jo and Guy getting married.
"That sounds good, OK Amy?" She looked embarrassed again. "Amy, you don't have to worry about cash, understand." I laughed, "Mike and Nardo have more than enough and they don't mind spending it. Especially to make the women around them look nice, so don't worry!"
She smiled, a lovely open smile that lit her face, "Thank you, I haven't been able to buy any clothes for years," she said, "where will we go?"
"Oh, Armani, Dior, Blumarine, those sorts of shops," I said casually.
Her mouth dropped open. "Stop teasing her," Mike said laughing, then to Amy, "she means it you know. You'll enjoy yourself immensely, so will Sally and Jo if I know them."
I think that now Amy began to realise that we weren't kidding her, this really was true. I suppose it must have been strange for her to suddenly fall in with us and have all her troubles washed away. Probably it had only just begun to sink in.
He smiled gently at her. "I suppose it is all a bit of a shock, coming so quickly but don't worry, everything will be all right. Of that you can be sure," he said in his firm and confident voice.
She looked at me, then at him, then she leant over and kissed his cheek, "Thank you, thank you so much. I really don't know what to say or how to thank you," she said again looking at us both.
"Say nothing," I said, "you don't need to. Now you'd better get those things back down stairs. Will you phone Mike?"
So off she went with her trolley while Mike and I got dressed. "Well," I said to him, "that was an affair wasn't it?"
He smiled, "I'm glad you probed Lena, we might not have found out otherwise." Then he was suddenly stern, "I'm going to give her manager a bit of a fright. What a bastard selling her like that. She is lovely though, I'm not surprised that she keeps getting propositioned. She's English and has that oriental look. Most Italian men will find that almost irresistible mind, most men would I think," he ended smiling.
"You like her then?" I asked coyly.
He smiled and kissed me, "Yes I do. She is exquisite with an absolutely lovely bottom."
"So you like my present do you?"
"If she comes, I will but she may not you know. She might get cold feet and you did say that our help wasn't conditional on her coming this afternoon didn't you?"
I laughed, "I know you too well by now. I know you wouldn't be happy if you thought we were 'buying her' with our help so I made sure of that. I asked her beforehand and she said she wanted to come. I think she will." Then I looked at him obliquely, "She fancies you, you know."
"Fancies me? No she can't do." He looked at me, "I reckon she fancies you, that's why she's coming."
I smiled and stroked his cheek, "You silly man. You are very attractive, especially to girls about my age. Look, you are an experienced man, good looking, confident, kind, considerate. She sees all that. You are also rich, or at least, well off. She sees that as well. You don't look your age you know. You could pass easily for the early forties and you have a young wife."
He laughed, "I reckon you are what keeps me young," he said sweeping me in his arms and kissing me like he meant it.
"Ooohhh, stop it," I laughed pulling away from him, "any more and I won't wait until this afternoon. I don't want you to get carried away," I said poking him, "but you are an attractive man and," I said seriously, "remember that Amy didn't know a father, just like me, so she is bound to be attracted to you. I spotted her looking at you earlier when you weren't looking and she wasn't thinking about breakfast then so I think she will come." I turned to him and held his face, "You mustn't worry you know, I don't mind you having her. Having her every way you want, she'll be ready but I don't think she's very experienced."
He was serious now as he held me to him, "Lena, Lena, how I love you. I don't want to forget you in loving her," he said, "keep kissing me won't you. I'm sorry but she is so lovely that, oh you know, once, er, er. . . "
"I know," I said laughing at his discomfiture, "once you get started with her you'll get carried away."
"Mmm," he said smiling, "not too much but it is unexplored territory after all."
"For us both," I said laughing. "Come on, let's get out." So we got dressed and out we went to get the money for Amy. It didn't take long, just as well really, we didn't have much time. I didn't realise how quickly the morning had gone. Well, we got back in time for lunch and were waiting when Amy knocked on the door. Mike opened it and she smiled a big smile at us both.
"He didn't tell me off at all," she said. "He said you were very important and had to be treated well," Then she added conspirationally, "He said you might want a little bit of company tonight after I'd finished with his 'friends'. I nearly laughed." She was relaxed now, happy in the knowledge that everything was going to be sorted out. Her open character shone through and for the first time I saw her smile freely. Mike wasn't laughing however, I could see he was furious.
"He did, did he. I can see I'm going to have to have a strong word with this pillock! OK Amy unload the trolley and we'll go back downstairs." So, after a few minutes laying out the lunch they both left. Mike told me afterwards what happened.
They arrived in the kitchen together and one of the staff said he couldn't come through but Amy said he wanted to see the boss so could she get him. The woman went off and came back with the manager who seemed quite upset that Amy had brought a guest down. All the conversation took place in Italian, Amy was fluent of course and I think they thought Mike couldn't understand. Well, he's not really a fluent speaker but he does understand Italian so he knew what was being said. The manager was having a go at Amy for bringing him down so he just stepped in and told him to shut up and listen. Then he prompted Amy and she handed back the money she'd borrowed. Two or three staff members who were present looked quite pleased. Mike wondered if, perhaps, he'd done this before with other young girls. Because of the situation he was forced to accept the money without much argument then Mike took him in his office.
Amy said that Mike was very harsh, calling him a pimp and an abuser of young women. He told him that he should not bother Amy any more or he, Mike, would ensure that he lost his job. The point was, of course, that should Mike complain stridently he would lose his job, Mike (through Bernardo) was so important to the hotel. They didn't stay long then left for Amy to get changed before coming back to the room
"Well," he said as he arrived back, "that's that. Is everything OK Amy?"
She looked a lot happier now, one load off her mind I suppose, as she turned to him and said, "Thank you, oh thank you. Lena, I can call you that can't I?" I nodded. "He really told him off. I don't think he'll make any trouble about me being here now." I felt a bit sorry for her really. Her clothes were very drab, just a pair of jeans and a blouse, both old and worn out. They didn't do her justice although the jeans did show off her delightful bottom. She must have noticed me looking because she said, "I haven't been able to buy any clothes for ages and I had to sell quite a few to get some money."
I walked over to her and hugged her. "Don't worry sweetheart, I'm sure I've got something for tonight," and I smiled at her suggestively, "you won't need too much for this afternoon will you."
She blushed and smiled coyly as she glanced at Mike. "No, I suppose not," she said as he returned her glance.
"I was a bit worried, Lena, that her boss would cause some trouble about Amy being here because, technically she's not supposed to be but I think he'll keep quiet. He doesn't know she's here but he probably suspects." Then he turned to Amy and, smiling, said, "You look as if you could do with a good meal. Are you eating properly."
I could see she wasn't. Probably surviving on what she could get from the hotel. "I haven't been eating that much," she said looking at him plaintively as if apologising.
"Well," he said, "tuck in, there's plenty here." So we all did, sitting round the table and chatting. We found out about Amy mother's condition and Mike said he would see if Roger could help. I told her about the IVF and why we were in Italy and about Jo and Guy. I decided that it was best to be open with her so I told her about the four of us and our life together. She didn't seem shocked, just surprised that we four could have such a relationship. She became more shocked, and embarrassed I think, as I explained about sex between us. She was looking at Mike wide-eyed wondering how he managed to hold on to two young women I suppose.
We told her all about Bernardo and Sally and the kids. She would be in a tiny little room immediately because of all the guests staying for the weddings but afterwards she would had a lovely room of her own. I told her all about Silvio and his family, Gianna, Maria and the boys, so she wouldn't feel shy tomorrow when we arrived home. I was certain that the boys would take a lot of notice of her so I gave her fair warning.
All this enabled Mike to get to know her and to realise that she did want to be with us this afternoon. He was so funny like that. He didn't like to think that he was forcing her into the situation but, as the lunch progressed I could tell she was keen. She kept watching him as he ate. It's the sort of thing that I do when I really fancy him. Jo's the same. We just watch him, look at him. It's funny really, it's not sexy, it's just taking him in and Amy was doing the same. Of course I was watching her because I fancied her so I noticed this.
We must have finished lunch about three o'clock and Mike called down for someone to fetch the trolley. He came soon after and for the next half hour we sat talking about Amy, her degree, and her history. All through this time I was watching Amy and, I must admit, fancying her more and more so, after a while I smiled at Mike and said, "Mike, I think it's time for us to get ready for the bedroom don't you?"
Amy looked shocked at my bluntness. Mike just turned to her and smiled, "Well Amy, is it time?" He was asking her again if she wanted to stay, she could refuse now easily without any problems.
She blushed and looked at me as I smiled back at her, "Yes," she said shyly, "I think it is."
"Right," I said to Mike, "we'll get ready first." I smiled at him, "We might be a while so don't get too excited will you."
He laughed, "Don't wear yourselves out," he said. "I'll wait here until you call me then I'll shower."
"That sounds good, come on Amy, let's go." So took her hand a led her to the bathroom. I knew that I was going to make love to her in there, I had a bad ache for her. I don't know why, I always did get more excited with Amy, more wanton. I suppose it was this first experience, what with Mike using Viagra and Saturday afternoon. I think she had some idea of what was going to happen in there but, as I shut the door she looked pensive, wondering what exactly what I suppose. She told us afterwards she'd never been with a man and a woman like today so it was all new to her. She looked so lovely, young, unspoilt, almost innocent is suppose, although I knew she had been with both women and men before. I reached for her and pulled her to me. Without a word I kissed her full on the lips, a kiss which she returned. We held each other tightly.
"He won't mind?" she whispered.
"No," I smiled back at her, "he knows his turn is coming. Come on, let's make love to each other then we'll get ready for him." Soon our clothes were in a pile and we were naked on the floor on a pile of towels and dressing gowns. I explored her body as she did mine. Her boobs were quite small, smaller than mine, but perfectly formed and her nipples were pierced, having small gold bars pushed through as sleepers. She said her boyfriend had persuaded her to get it done. It was bloody sexy, I can tell you. When I sucked her nipples I could pull on the bars with my teeth, she loved it. So we made love to each other. I had one lovely orgasm from her mouth and gave her one myself.
As we cuddled each other afterwards she said, "Shouldn't we get ready?"
I smiled, "You want him don't you?"
Shyly she responded, "Yes, I do. I like sex with women and I enjoyed it with you but it doesn't replace a man, although they don't often manage to please." She looked at me and smiled, "but you said he pleases."
"Oh he does that," I said smiling.
She looked at me, "I'm sorry," she said, "but, but how will he, you know, be, errrr, able to errrrmmm, well look after us both?"
"Well," I said, "usually he can hold his orgasm for ages. When he is with me and Joanna he manages to take us everywhere before he cums but today is different." I laughed, "He got me a present."
She looked shocked, "What? A dildo?"
"No," I said laughing, "two little blue tablets!"
"Viagra?"
"Mmm, he took one yesterday afternoon. That's how he stayed in my bottom for so long and he had loads of cums, not much spunk though," I ended laughing.
"Two you said?"
"Yes, he'll take the other one before he showers. He reckons he can stay hard for about two hours and cum a few times as well." I looked at her seriously, "Are you sure about this Amy, he's not small."
She smiled, relaxing now, "Mmm, he is quite tall."
I dug her in the ribs, "You know what I mean" I said laughing.
She was suddenly serious. "I want to Lena. Look, you didn't have to help me but now you have I feel that I need to thank him. I think I understand about him, he is so kind, so thoughtful, considerate. If he makes love like that it must be wonderful and I want to experience that."
"What about, you know, back there. He's bound to ask you for that. He won't force it you know, only if you want it but you are very lovely there and it is his favourite form of sex."
"Am I?" she said, "I never thought about it. Yes, even there I think. I said I've only experienced that twice and neither time was much fun but I've read a lot about it and many women say that it's good. You like it don't you?"
I smiled, "Yes, I do. I was virgin there when he first took me. I had five major orgasms by his mouth and his penis before he even entered me there. Then he was so gentle, so caring, so tender, that I enjoyed it, enjoyed it so much I had two more orgasms. Now I like it as much as straight sex. He almost always cums in my bottom. Oh Amy, it's so good when it's done properly, with care, with love, and he always does it like that."
"I thought he would so I want to try it. Mum says you should always try something twice, once to see if you like it and the second time to make sure," she laughed, "but I don't think she was talking about anal sex!"
I laughed with her, "Come on let's have a bath together then we'll get ready."
"Won't he get impatient?"
I smiled, "No, he always says that the nicest things are worth waiting for." So we ran a bath, jumped in and spent the next ten minutes playing at washing each other. Amy was great. Although she was older than me she seemed younger. She actually asked me how old I was and was surprised when I told her 21.
"It's being with a man like him," I said, "he makes me more experienced, see things differently and sex, well!"
"What do you mean?" she asked as we dried each other.
"Well, sex with him is fantastic. He always has something new to offer. He's got a massive collection of adult movies and we do all the things we've seen on them."
"You watch them together?" she asked seeming shocked.
"Mmm, it's great," I said, "he usually sort of, well, plays with me while we watch," I laughed, "he won't let me touch him because he says he will cum. I watch them with Jo as well, gives us lots of ideas," I added smiling at her. "I think when you are in love with a man like Mike and he makes love to you like a woman, a person, you feel more grown up. I felt I was a girl before I went with him, afterwards I felt like a woman, you know, complete. I often think that feminists wouldn't like the way I feel but it's as if he makes me what I am, and I do the same to him." I looked at her seriously, "I couldn't be without him you know. I love him more than anything."
"I can see he loves you," she said, "it's in his eyes, they worship you."
"Mmm, I know," I said, "he doesn't have to tell me."
She was serious for a moment, "I don't understand how you can let him go with me," she said, "aren't you jealous?"
I smiled at her wanly, "No. He'll make love to you as if you are the only woman in the world but, now and again, he'll turn to me and smile, or kiss me, then afterwards he'll make love to me. I know he won't leave me so why should I be jealous and spoil his fun," I looked at her through hooded eyes, "and mine. Come on, I need to prepare you."
