G. Emil Reutter LOVE IS GRAND


    I

    The forest was thick with undergrowth, vines wrapped around the tree trunks twisting into the branches of the trees. Spider webs were abundant full of the days' capture as ants scurried along the forest floor attacking what they could carry. In a place far away buildings cut through the sky while they swayed in the wind. Elevators pulled from the ground to the highest points in the building while the workers scurried to and fro on the streets below earning their days pay. Day passed into evening; the lights of the great towers began to dim as streets below emptied.

    Less then four blocks away from the center of this great city existed a tavern which catered to those who would rather not be known, even by those they chose to drink with. It was in this place of anonymity he had chosen to exist with others who desired to remain anonymous. The bartender set him up with a dry martini as he glanced around the tavern.
    "You know Bud the ladies who come here have been talking to me about you"
    He simply smiled and nodded at the bartender.
    "They've been saying all you do is sit there and suddenly a girl is on your arm and by dam if they all don't look somewhat alike!"
    "It is my charm you know!"
    The two men laughed.
    "I just assumed they were call girls. They didn't look like the business type."
    So you're saying you all think the only type of women I can get is a whore?"
    "Well most men who come here party with the ladies here. We're not use to an outsider meeting ladies who don't normally come here."
    "I have noticed there are a lot of attractive regular ladies here but I assumed they had all been passed around a bit"
    "Now listen here, don't be calling my lady customers names!"
    He looked at the bartender with amusement and began to laugh. The bartender joined him in his laughter. Looking around the tavern he remembered the first time he came to this place, no one noticed him. The ladies were involved with who could pick up the popular regular customers, all of whom were better looking then him. He stood up and walked through the crowd, winking at the regular ladies and they smiled back at him. Entering the mens room he locked the door. Taking out his cell phone he placed his call;
    "Hi, my credit card number is 1432-7685-3409-0001 and it is a Master Card. Yes, that is my name."
    He listened as the operator read back his information,
    "5'6", thin build, very leggy wearing a leather mini skirt and pump heels. I need her to meet me at the Ridge Tavern, I will be sitting in the middle of the bar. I need her to walk in look around and then come right to me, whisper in my ear and then we will leave the tavern."
    He listened once again as the operator talked to him.
    "Yes, 8 p.m. is a good time and we will return to my normal address"
    Placing the cell phone in his pocket glancing in the mirror he smiled.
    He returned to the bar and ordered another drink. It was only 6:30 p.m. and he was looking forward to the arrival of his date. Suddenly he felt a gentle nudge on his arm.
    "Hey Seth. Funny place to find you!"
    He turned and looked at her. They had flirted in the office and he had never followed through.
    "Hi Marcie. What in the world are you doing here?"
    "My friends dragged me out of the house for the night. I am so glad you are here!"
    He looked into her eyes and just for a moment neither one of them said a word. Time passed quickly between them as they laughed and flirted. She reached over and took his hand.
    "Seth, I know you will never ask me so I am going to do it. Would you like to go out this weekend?"
    Seth smiled and blushed a bit. He was always nervous around women and had wanted to ask her out for a long time. "Of course I would!"
    Marcie still holding his hand leaned over and kissed him on the mouth. Seth however did not here her enter the bar. She walked toward Seth and Marcie, she wore a tight white shirt with a black leather vest and mini skirt complimented with thigh high leather black boots. Her blond hair was tied in a pony tail. She walked up and slid her hand along his back, startling him she whispered in his ear.
    "Hi Seth who is your friend?"
    Before Seth could answer Marcie introduced herself to the girl.
    "My name is Crystal, nice to meet you Marcie!"
    "How do you know Seth?"
    Sweat started to bead up on his forehead as Marcie let go of his hand.
    "Seth and I have a date tonight"
    "Really?"
    "Maybe I'm a present for you Marcie!"
    "Why would you be a present for me?"
    "Sometimes guys like two girls in bed you know. Maybe Seth wanted you to have a little extra action!"
    "No offense Crystal but I am not into that!"
    Marcie looked at Seth with disgust and slapped him across the face.
    "I guess this explains it, all you want to be with is hookers like her!"
    Seth wanted to run from the tavern but his body was frozen on his stool. The bartender waslaughing as were many of the regular ladies at the tavern. Marcie met up with her friends and they hurried out of the tavern. Crystal sat next to the dejected Seth. She began to encase him in her web, rubbing his back and whispering in his ear.

    "You know you're wasting your first hour just sitting here at the bar."
    "I am a bit flustered Crystal."
    "Well why don't we leave here and go back to your place where I can make you relax."
    "I think I just blew a good chance with Marcie."
    "You have a sure thing with me Seth, take me home, have your way with me, let me take you places you've never been!"
    Her nails dug into his back as she clawed him from his neck to his waist. Seth shivered and began to smile.
    "By the time we get back there your time will be up."
    "I told the agency I could only work three hours tonight. If you call them and put two more hours on your card I just might stay with you all night!"
    Seth took her hand and led her out of the tavern. He called the agency and reserved two more hours of time with Crystal. It was then that he noticed she was carrying a medium sized duffle bag.
    "What is in the bag Crystal?"
    "You'll find out Seth!"
    She grabbed his ass as they walked down the sidewalk to his apartment building. The doorman smiled as they entered and soon they were in his apartment.
    Pulling him to her she bit his lower lip as she once again dug her nails into him. She slid down his body, pulling the cloth from the buttons, unbuckling his belt she lowerd his pants. She reached down and took some things from her bag. She placed a blindfold over is eyes, pulling his hands in front of him, the cool feel of medal encased his wrists.
    "You've been a bad boy Seth!"
    "Yes I have!"
    She led him to the bedroom. He kicked off his shoes allowing his pants to free his legs. She ordered him to lay face down on the bed. She looped a chain between the handcuffs and secured them to the head board. Spreading his legs wide, she tied his feet to the foot board with leather straps. Reaching into the bag once again she removed a ball gag, smiling she slid up his body sitting on the small of his back.
    "Seth, I have a secret to tell you"
    She removed the blindfold, stood up and walked toward the window of the room. There was something hooked up to a tripod covered with a blanket. A small camera was hooked up to a lap top computer. Crystal was talking to the image on the computer screen.
    "Seth was a bad boy but I tied him up for you."
    "Let me see what he looks like."
    Seth thought the voice sounded familiar.
    Crystal picked up the small camera and filmed every inch of Seth as he lay naked and tied up. The voice on the computer began to laugh.
    "Seth, it is me, Helen your wife!"
    "Helen!"
    "Seth remember those divorce papers you have refused to sign?"
    "Helen tell her to let me go. This isn't funny!"
    "You are stupid Seth, the credit card receipts still come to my house!"
    "Helen this isn't fair!"
    "Seth you are the one who won't sign the papers. You're not getting anymore money out of me. It is now over, do you understand?"
    "Wait till my lawyer finds out about this!"
    "Now Seth calm down. You gave me the idea anyway. I had to pay the agency extra money and of course a large tip for Crystal"
    "You're evil Helen!"
    "You haven't paid your lawyer Seth, he doesn't care anymore. You have to sign the papers now or you will pay a big price if you don't"
    "Don't threaten me!"
    "Crystal dear, take your clothes off please"
    "Of course Helen!'
    Crystal pulled the black ribbon from her pony tail allowing her hair to fall around her shoulders. She removed her vest and slowly pulled her white top over her head revealing full breasts and a slender waist. She turned her back to Seth, sliding the zipper of her skirt down she allowed it to drop to her feet revealing a round ass encased in a purple thong.
    Crystal play with yourself for me!'
    "Helen this is sick, I didn't know you were that way!"
    Crystal slowly moved her hand back and forth excitement filling her.
    "Seth are you going to sign the papers if Crystal gives them to you?"
    "Hell can freeze over before I sign those papers!"
    "Really Seth?"
    "I will never sign the papers unless you give me more money!"
    "Crystal turn around and show Seth what you have for him honey!"
    Crystal turned toward Seth and to his shock a fully erect penis was pointing toward his mouth.
    "Helen get him away from me!"
    "Only if you sign the papers Seth!"
    "No!"
    "Gag him Crystal!"
    Crystal placed the ball gag in his mouth, pulled the strap tight. She then sat on the small of his back once again sliding her finger between his cheeks. She slid lower the penis now laying between his cheeks.
    Well Seth, is it Crystal in you or will you sign the papers?"
    Seth couldn't answer, tighten his cheeks her penis stayed between them.
    "Helen, I think he likes this!" Crystal said giggling.
    "Seth, if you will sign the papers nod your head twice."
    Seth did not move. Crystal suddenly spread his cheeks wide as her penis slid down between his legs when suddenly Seth began to nod violently.
    "Take the ball gag out Crystal."
    Crystal stood up and removed the gag.
    "Well Seth?"
    "I'll sign the papers but you know it won't hold up!"
    Crystal smiled at Seth. "Now I am going to loosen up the one cuff so you can write. If you get nasty I will pull the chain attached to cuffs and it will hurt you."
    She placed a pen in his hand and the document so he could sign it. Seth signed the document as he listened to Helen and Crystal laughing. Crystal tightened the cuff once again and placed the ball gag back in his mouth.
    "Crystal take a rag and wipe all the cuffs off so your fingerprints aren't on them."
    Crystal did as she was told. Quickly dressing she left no sign of herself in the room.
    "Pack everything up Crystal and I will meet you in the normal place. The maid will undo him in the morning. Leave a cuff key on the dresser."
    Crystal locked the apartment door and proceeded to the lobby. The doorman smiled as she approached, extending his hand, Crystal placed a small wad of bills in his outreached hand.
    "Tell Mrs. Costello I said hello!"
    "Sure will, see you later!" She walked out the door hailing a cab she went to Lil Petes on 17th Street to meet Helen.

    He arrived at Lil Pete's and Mrs Costello was waiting. He walked in and took a seat across from her in the booth.

    “Do you have the Cd?
    “Yes I do and I saved the information on a file.”
    Helen passed the envelope to Crystal. Crystal counted the money in the envelope.
    “You know I could bribe you with the file?”
    “I knew you could so I threw in an extra five thousand”
    “Just and extra five thousand?”
    “Just an extra five thousand.”
    “Yes that is what it is worth.”
    Crystal stood up and walked out of Lil Pete's.
    “Crystal, give me a lap top.”
    Crystal smiled and handed the laptop to Pete.
    “I could be a bitch you know.”
    “Ah but Crystal only real women are bitches.”
    They both laughed as they walked out of Lil Pete's.
