Chapter 1 - Liliana Was My Wife and a Prostitute
================================================

Hi Kelly:

I've enjoyed your diary over the past year or so since I first discovered it.  
Though I'm not really much into incest, many of your entries are really hot.  
What I found particularly interesting is certain parallels between your 
experience and that of my wife, "Liliana".  She also lost her virginity at the 
age of 14 to her first boyfriend and went on to be very sexually active until we 
met some 10 years later; while at the same time, preferring to avoid committed 
monogamous relationships.  Though she didn't quite manage your numbers of 
partners, she rarely went without sex.  Finally, she also ended up working for 
brief periods as an escort (and as an outright prostitute).

There are of course some obvious differences:

· She never really engaged in incest.
· She is not bi-sexual.
· She is not American and has never lived in the US . 

But her general approach to sex during those years sounds a lot like yours and 
her Mother even played a similar role in supporting her sexual exploration 
(though again, without the incest)..  Some of your diary entries made her laugh 
at the similarities to past experiences of her own.  

(I tend to read erotic fiction off the net during my frequent business trips and 
then show her the stories I think she might like once I get back home, though I 
do have to help her through these as her English is still very limited). 

Despite all these general similarities, the reason that I'm finally writing you 
has to do more specifically with your experiences as an escort and your recent 
essay on Escorting.  After reading your essay, I had to run it by Liliana, along 
with some of your 2005 diary entries she hadn't seen.  She had some interesting 
comments which I thought I would pass on to you. 

But first I guess I should tell you something about us.  I'm an American 
businessman just entering my 40's and have been based out of one of the 
relatively better off countries in Latin America for most of the past decade or 
so.  My wife is several years younger than me and we met here where we currently 
live, though she is originally from another much poorer country in the region. 

My wife first came here just a few months before we met, when she was recruited 
to take a nursing position, something that interested her since salaries here 
run about 3 times higher than in her own country.  But because of a bureaucratic 
screw-up with her nursing credentials, she wasn't able to start working right 
away.  She quickly found herself broke and got into prostitution through a 
friend from back home as a desperate temporary measure.  After a rough start, 
she ended up mostly working out of the bar of a 4-Star hotel, where her clients 
were both local and foreign businessmen, as well as resident expats and 
tourists.  She also worked briefly for one of the more reputable escort 
agencies.

Liliana only actually did this for about 3 months until a job as a Doctor's 
receptionist/assistant came through, though she did keep 2 or 3 regular clients 
as a way to supplement her salary.  That's where she was working when I first 
met her and we started dating. 

Getting back to your essay, Liliana thinks that in her experience, the 
differences between a "whore", "prostitute" and an "escort" are a bit less 
clear-cut than the way you define those terms.  Though this may be because of 
the type of escort agency she worked for and the type of prostitution she 
engaged in. 

While, like in your case, her escort agency only charged for the date and not 
the sex, there was definitely an expectation that the girls would provide sexual 
services at the end of the evening if requested (which turned out be most of the 
time).  Perhaps it was more like your Cousin Kristi's agency, though Liliana 
really did escort guys to dinners and other events.

She discovered that the alternative of working out of the hotel allowed a lot 
more freedom to pick and choose amongst prospective clients.  At least she got a 
chance to size up the guy over drinks in the bar before committing to spending 
time with him.  Furthermore, the work itself wasn't all that different in that 
many of the clients met in the hotel bar also wanted to first take her out to 
dinner or dancing before getting to the sex.  In sum, she found working as a 
"prostitute" was often pretty much the same job, but gave her a lot more 
autonomy than working as an "escort".  

Of course, Liliana was lucky enough that she could afford to be very selective 
because she was (and is) so attractive.  Plus she had a great hook in that she 
could easily pass for 18 if she wanted to, even though she was already nearing 
her mid-20's.  Her 'story" was that she was a first year University student in 
who picked up guys at the bar just to finance her studies.  This attracted men 
like flies, as well as leading to some pretty hefty tips and providing a ready 
made excuse to cut short dates that weren't going well.

The fact that prostitution is legal here also makes a big difference, as Liliana 
didn't have to worry about being arrested while picking up clients at the bar.

You don't talk much about drugs and booze (perhaps you can't for legal reasons).  
Cocaine use was rampant among most of the girls both at the escort agency and in 
the bar scene and Liliana began to notice the visible effects of excessive drug 
use on girls who got in too deep.  She remains very anti-drugs and sees them as 
the biggest danger for women in the business, particularly given the relatively 
benign working environment here which helps reduce other risks associated with 
prostitution in the US (pimps, police, lack of health care, etc.).

Liliana certainly didn't enjoy the sexual part of the experience as much as you 
seemed to when you first started.  The problem for her is that she found 
sleeping with guys for money was very different than doing it for fun.  During 
that initial 3 month period, she mostly just tried to get the sex over with, as 
in her words, "No quise sentir algo por ellos" (I didn't want to feel anything 
for them).  This was one of the main reasons she still didn't hesitate to take 
the job with the Doctor even though the salary was the equivalent of less than 
$500 a month (compared to a minimum of $2000 a week from working the hotel bar). 

Though Liliana moved on to a regular nursing job once her credentials were 
finally recognized, a few months later she quit nursing entirely.  This brings 
me to another comment.  Lili has always said that one of the problems with being 
a prostitute, or escort for that matter, is that it makes it much harder to 
later adjust to a 9 to 5 job.  It's not the sex itself, but rather being able to 
earn a lot more money working your own hours.  Also, if you work at the level 
she has, you generally get treated very well on dates, taken to the best 
restaurants and clubs, and meet guys who are usually pretty successful, and at 
least at times, interesting. 

While slaving away in her job in a nursing home, there were some parts of that 
3-month experience that suddenly didn't seem quite so bad in retrospect.  I 
wonder if you found out the same thing now that you seemed to have quit your 
regular job.

She even eventually dabbled again with occasionally selling herself during a 
period when I had several long work assignments overseas.  We learned very early 
on that Lili would start going nuts if she had to go without sex entirely for 
more than a month or two.  So up until she got pregnant with our daughter, we 
had an agreement that we were both free to pursue other options when apart.  
Unfortunately she is not much of a writer, but she would include enough in her 
e-mails to keep me on edge until I got home and could hear the full story about 
her adventures.  

In fact, after reading your stuff, Liliana says she might have returned to 
escorting in a major way if she had found an agency like yours where she didn't 
feel obligated to sleep with most of the guys..

One last thing that does ring true to her personally is where you write that you 
could never get romantically involved with a client..  Though she liked having 
regulars because she felt they were safer and she knew what to expect, she did 
have to cut a few off when they started getting too serious about her.  At the 
same time, plenty of girls from the hotel bar did end up marrying foreign 
clients, so it does happen.  She does wonder about your reasons for avoiding 
repeat clients. 

I know that your website is focused more on incest and you seem really down 
right now about the topics of escorting and prostitution, but I would like to 
hear any response you may have to these comments.

Regards,
Rob

Subject: Hooking up with Liliana

Hi Kelly:

You may remember that I wrote you about a year ago concerning my wife Liliana’s 
experiences as an escort and prostitute.  I then followed that up with the 
(rather long) story about Xiomara and the other women I got to know during the 
year before I met Liliana.  You ended up posting these e-mails in the Stories 
section of your web site under the heading “Escort Wife” (though it’s a bit 
confusing because you inserted a title that seems to imply that Xiomara was my 
wife, when she was actually only a former girlfriend).

I had left off with the promise of eventually following up with a description of 
how a respectable young American businessman (me) ended up marrying a former 
prostitute (Liliana).  But things got busy at work and I kept putting it off.  
Then last summer I got a brief e-mail from one of your readers asking if I was 
ever going to continue the story.  I started drafting the following account, but 
by the time it was ready, you had taken down your website.  Now I see its back 
up again, so here goes.  Though this account is only about one-third of the 
length of "Xiomara", I’ve broken it down into six short parts to make it easier 
to e-mail.  I’ll be sending them to you over the next few days as I have a 
chance to proof-read each one.  

I was sorry to read about all the upheaval you experienced last fall and I do 
wish you much better luck for 2009.  My wife and I also went through some 
difficult times last year in our relationship, but things seem to be much better 
now.  Admittedly, the reason for this improvement is not something that would 
work for most couples.  But then, our relationship has never been a ‘normal’ one 
(if such a thing exists), as you will begin to see below.
********************************************************************************

HOOKING UP WITH LILIANA
PART 1 OF 6
=======================

I first met my future wife in a Peruvian restaurant in early December, 1999.  I 
was actually introduced to her by Xiomara, whom I was still dating at the time.  
It came about as part of another one of her attempts at matchmaking, though this 
time the intended beneficiary was Diego, an Argentinean co-worker of mine.  He 
had come down from our home office a little over a year earlier, leaving behind 
his longtime girlfriend to finish grad school up in the US .  Unfortunately, his 
girlfriend eventually grew tired of the long-distance relationship and had 
dumped him a couple of months earlier.

Xiomara had always liked the somewhat straight-laced gentlemanly Diego, teasing 
him affectionately whenever they saw each other.  So after a couple of months of 
watching him mope around in abject misery, she finally decided to try to break 
him out of his funk.  Ignoring my misgivings, she insisted on setting up a 
double-date.  Xiomara invited one of her grad school classmates; a serious 
conservative young woman whom she deemed suitable.  When that woman then dropped 
out at the last minute after getting back together with an ex, Liliana was 
drafted in as a replacement.

Xiomara and Liliana had met at their gym and had become friends of sorts, though 
they really didn’t know each other all that well.  Xiomara certainly hadn’t 
realized that Lili had spent the previous 3 months working as a prostitute out 
of the bar at the Excelsior Hotel.  In fact, Lili had only stopped prostituting 
herself full-time a couple of weeks earlier, after getting a job working 
afternoons as a receptionist in the office of a pediatrician.  The doctor was 
originally from Lili’s home country and needed someone to step in temporarily 
while his regular receptionist took a year off to have a baby.  

It must be said in Xiomara’s defense that Lili certainly didn’t come across as a 
prostitute.  My first impression when they walked into the restaurant was that 
this girl looked like a model. She was about 5’7 or 5’8 and very slender, but 
with very nice curves in just the right places and soft creamy light brown skin.  
She was an absolutely stunning young woman, with this exotic combination of 
ethnicities that you can sometimes get in the Caribbean Basin ; Spanish, African 
and Chinese all mixed together with spectacular results. 

While the dinner was not much of a success as Diego kept going on and on about 
his girlfriend, I did find Liliana to be quite charming, though a bit shy and 
unassuming.  I was certainly surprised to find out that she was about to turn 
24, as she really did seem much younger than that.

Probably nothing more would have come of it had I not started running into 
Liliana after the Christmas holidays.  We both tended to converge on the same 
plaza during my lunch hour as it was on her route between her gym and the 
doctor’s office.  

The first couple of times we ran into each other, we simply nodded and said “Hi” 
as we passed in opposite directions, but eventually we got into the habit of 
stopping to talk with each other for a few moments.  Though it turned out that 
Liliana’s job began too early in my lunch hour for her to join me, we did start 
becoming friends of sorts.  It helped when she started stopping at one 
particular park bench to eat her small sack lunch, instead of doing so at the 
doctor’s office before her shift started.  

By this time I had broken up with Xiomara and Diego had finally successfully 
managed to get transferred back to our home office so that he could win back his 
girlfriend (they are now married).  Without Diego, Xiomara and the remaining 
Mosqueteras around, I suddenly found myself short on friends and I started 
really looking forward to those brief almost daily encounters with Liliana.

Though Lili was clearly interested in pursuing our friendship, it actually took 
me about another month to ask her out on a date (of sorts).  What had held me 
back until then was that despite her glorious exotic good looks and general 
“niceness”, I still had trouble seeing her as a potential romantic match. She 
came across as way too young for me; even more so than the eight year difference 
in our ages would imply.  Furthermore, I had started dating someone whom I’d met 
through work.

My first date with Lili came about after I teased her that with a new shorter 
haircut, she looked a lot like Halle Berry , albeit with the slightly slanted 
eyes that she had inherited from a Chinese ancestor.  I ended up impulsively 
asking her if she wanted to go with me to see Berry ’s latest movie that 
weekend.  Since Liliana had a previous commitment for Saturday night, we agreed 
to meet Sunday at a nearby shopping mall that had a cineplex.

Nothing particularly romantic happened on that first date, but we did enjoy 
ourselves and continued getting together to go to the movies about once a week.  
It turned out she was as much of a movie buff as I was and it provided something 
we had in common over which we could bond.  I was still thinking of her as a 
friend and sort of assumed she felt the same way.  For one, she tended to show 
up dressed informally in her usual jeans and minimal make-up (not that she 
needed much), looking much more like a university student heading to class than 
a girl trying to impress a guy.  Then there was the fact that she often had 
other commitments, which I took to mean she was probably seeing someone else, 
though she never confirmed this.  I certainly didn’t hide that I was dating 
another woman, though that relationship died out soon afterwards. 

It was to be another full month before we moved on to the next step.  


HOOKING UP WITH LILIANA
PART 2 OF 6
=======================
 
Liliana and I had gotten into the habit of stopping for a beer in an upscale bar 
near the multiplex before I put her in a cab.  While sitting in that bar one 
Friday night about a month after we started with our movie dates, I was suddenly 
overcome with just how cute she looked as she talked excitedly about the one we 
had just seen.  I couldn’t help but lean forward over our small table and give 
her a quick kiss on the lips.  Lili stopped talking in mid sentence and just 
gaped at me in surprise.  I immediately started apologizing until she shushed me 
up.  After staring into my eyes with a questioning expression for what seemed 
like an eternity, she leaned forward and offered up her lips for another kiss.  
A half hour later we were in the living room of my apartment ripping off each 
other’s clothes.  

Liliana ended up spending that night and most of the next day with me, before 
regretfully excusing herself because she had other plans for the evening.  It 
was only after she left that I had a chance to reflect on everything that had 
happened.  Lili had proved to be an enthusiastic, uninhibited and very skilled 
sex partner, quite surprising to me given her almost virginal demeanor (if I had 
only known!).  Furthermore, it had been a long time since I had felt so 
immediately comfortable with a woman and she showed all the signs of feeling the 
same way.  But I was also worried about the implications for our friendship and 
had to consider that she was clearly still seeing someone else.

We had another great night together the following Friday during which she only 
confirmed her ample skills in bed.  I did discover that she really didn’t like 
having a guy come in her mouth, but even that little disappointment only served 
to make the whole thing real and not just some fantasy of the type I had played 
out the previous year with Beatriz.

It was only the next day after she let me know that she once again had other 
plans for the evening, that I finally brought up the subject of our 
relationship,.  I came away feeling quite puzzled as she seemed to favor some 
kind of ‘friends with benefits’ arrangement.  I simply couldn’t figure her out.  
One of the things I most appreciated about Lili was that she really liked to 
cuddle.  In a marked contrast to Xiomara and Beatriz, she seemed perfectly happy 
to snuggle up against me for hours at a time as we watched TV or read.  How to 
explain that she could be so incredibly open, loving and affectionate, while at 
the same time seeming to go to great lengths to avoid any talk that smacked of 
even some future commitment?  

What I didn’t know at the time was that Liliana was feeling quite conflicted 
over getting romantically involved with me, given that she was still 
supplementing her paycheck by seeing a couple of regular clients she had 
originally met back when she was working out of the bar.  On the one hand, Lili 
was worried about losing my friendship if I found out.  But at the same time, 
she didn’t want to start out a relationship under false pretences.  So she 
dithered without coming to a decision on how to handle the issue.

It certainly never occurred to me that she might be doing a little whoring on 
the side, despite the fact that my experiences the previous year had left me 
well aware of the sex business in town and it should have been obvious that 
Liliana fit the profile (a beautiful single young woman from a poorer country).

Instead, I put her attitude down to what I began to learn about her past.  About 
a month after we started having sex, I finally convinced her to go with me on a 
short trip to a hot springs over a three-day weekend.  I think it was on the 
second evening, while we were relaxing by ourselves in one of the smaller pools 
and after several drinks, that Liliana finally opened up a bit about her sexual 
history.  I have to admit that despite her obvious skill in bed, I was still 
somewhat shocked by just how wild and promiscuous she had been. 

It started when she was 14 and in full rebellion against her domineering father, 
a man of some importance in her home town.  She left home to move in with the 24 
year old youngest son of the richest family in the area, knowing full well that 
her father wouldn’t dare call in the authorities (who were all in the pay of 
that family).  She lived with the guy for about six months until she realized 
that she really didn’t love him and was getting board trying to act like a 
housewife while all her friends were out flirting with boys.  So she moved back 
home and stuck it out even though her father didn’t speak to her for quite some 
time. She did try to play the role of the good daughter and avoid guys for a 
year or two, but in her words, started feeling like she was going nuts.  After 
finally talking it over with her mother, who had become concerned about how 
depressed she was acting, Lili finally started sneaking out on dates behind her 
father’s back.  Her mother ran a woman’s health and family planning outreach 
program and had a rather pragmatic view of such things.  Her main concern was 
that Lili always insist on condoms – which she did.

Liliana’s relationship with her father never improved and she finally decided 
she wasn’t even willing to accept his offer to send her to a university abroad.  
Determined to stop being dependent on him, as soon as she graduated from high 
school she ran off to the capital with an older divorced guy who offered to pay 
her way through a local university.  She thought she was being quite clever in 
picking someone who had much more political influence that her father.  But this 
quickly backfired.  The guy reneged on his promise and tried to keep her cooped 
up in his house; becoming insanely jealous if she went out without his 
permission.  Out of desperation, she escaped and rather impulsively enlisted in 
the military; one of the few places she could think of where the even that guy 
couldn’t touch her.  

The way she described it, basic training was a real nightmare; not surprising 
given that the very idea of the slender delicate Lili going through basic still 
makes me chuckle.  But she did surprise everyone (including herself) by turning 
out to be a natural marksman (markswoman?), breaking most records for inductees.  
In fact, she continued to practice throughout her time in the military and 
eventually even won an award as the best female shooter in one of the handgun 
categories (and still to this day occasionally visits a shooting range here in 
town).  

Because Liliana had a high school diploma and solid academic record (unusual for 
military inductees in her country), she was eligible for further training and 
chose to go to nursing school, figuring that it seemed to offer the most 
potential for avoiding excessive physical exertion.  Besides, she had a natural 
affinity for the profession after having helped her mother during her school 
vacations.  By the time she left home for good, Lili was quite experienced at 
giving talks on safe sex, contraception and hygiene, knew how to give 
injections, and had even helped her mother deliver a few babies in remote 
corners of their municipality.  She wasn’t at all squeamish and her mother had 
often praised her for being able to remain incredibly cool in a crisis (which 
might help explain her marksmanship, not that I know that much about the 
subject).  

After getting her degree (nursing is a two year program in her country), she 
served out the remainder of her enlistment assigned to a military hospital.  It 
was there that she heard about career opportunities in this country and decided 
to go overseas rather than reenlist.  

Though Lili dated quite a bit during her years in the military (not being one to 
go long without sex), she made a point of avoiding any monogamous relationships.  
This included openly juggling three different steady guys over most of the last 
year, while occasionally sleeping with other men on the side.  Probably the guy 
she had the longest relationship with was a buff young special-forces type she 
met at the base’s shooting range.  Liliana admitted that the reason he lasted 
the longest (besides being great in bed) was that he also had no interest in 
being tied down and was not only constantly picking up other women (sometimes 
with her help), but didn’t seem to mind at all that she had other men.  The way 
she described it to me that evening, he sounded almost more like a buddy than a 
boyfriend, but a buddy with whom she could have sex when nothing else was on 
offer.

I have to admit that it was really hard for me to reconcile this rather wild 
rebellious past with her normally calm almost innocent ladylike demeanor.  
Furthermore, I had to wonder how she could get away with acting this way, 
particularly as a military officer, given prevailing social attitudes in her 
country (which is in Latin America after all).  When I asked her about this, she 
broke out into knowing smile and explained that she had discovered relatively 
early as a teen that a girl could get away with acting as slutty as she wished, 
as long as she was discreet and maintained a public persona of being quite 
proper.  Furthermore, one of the lessons she had learned while working with her 
mother and listening to woes of so many women in her home town was that the key 
was to always remain in control. To only have sex when and with whom she wished, 
while avoiding situations where guys could try to force her to put out (which 
among other things, meant avoiding getting drunk or high when on the prowl).

I’m not sure how I would have reacted to all these revelations had I met Liliana 
just one year earlier.  But after getting to know Xiomara and the other 
Mosqueteras, I had long lost any prejudice against women with a rather eventful 
sexual history.  In fact, while it did occur to me that there were some very 
general similarities between Liliana’s and Xiomara’s experiences, there was an 
important difference - Lili hadn’t had her capacity to be loving and 
affectionate burned out of her.  

After listening to all this, I guess it was natural for me to assume that the 
reason why Liliana seemed so leery of commitment was her well established 
pattern of “friends with benefits” type arrangements.  Thus, it came as a 
complete shock when I finally did find out the truth.


HOOKING UP WITH LILIANA
PART 3 OF 6
=======================

While Liliana had opened up quite a bit about her experiences back home, she 
continued to avoid talking about her more recent sex life since had arrived in 
the country.  Thus, I only finally did find out about her “extracurricular” 
activities rather accidently; a few weeks after our trip to the hot springs .  

One evening in what must have been about late June 2000, I happened to be 
walking by one of the small downtown theatres just as a play was letting out.  
Out of the corner of my eye I caught sight of a girl who reminded me a lot of 
Liliana.  She was exiting on the arm of short, pudgy, balding middle-aged Latin 
guy decked out in a rather ridiculously formal navy blue sports coat (totally at 
odds with the normal hip artsy informality of the theatre district of this 
city).  It took me a moment to confirm that it really was Lili because she was 
wearing a long dress, strappy heels and a lot more makeup than I had ever seen 
on her before.  I was across the street standing behind some parked cars, so I 
was able to watch unnoticed as she walked off with her date.  

I simply couldn’t figure out what she was doing with this stuffy older man who 
not only looked to be at least twice her age, but was also clearly wearing a 
wedding ring.  The only answer that occurred to me was that money must be 
involved.  With a sinking feeling in my stomach, I naturally assumed that once 
again I had fallen for a woman who was another guy’s mistress.  This seemed bad 
enough, given what I had just gone through with Xiomara.  I still couldn’t 
imagine just how much worse the situation actually was.

After debating over whether to say anything to Liliana the next time I saw her, 
I decided to be up front about it and mentioned having seen her with her date, 
teasing her along the lines of, “I thought you had better taste in men.”

She seemed really embarrassed, which at first I interpreted as being over the 
guy I had seen her with.  But after stalling for moment, she squared her 
shoulders and answered almost defiantly, “You can’t really think that I would 
date someone like that because I find him attractive?”

To Lili’s credit, when I followed up by asking if she was the guy’s “querida” 
(mistress), she didn’t take the easy way out.  Instead she went on to give me a 
full honest account of her involvement in prostitution.

I’m afraid I didn’t take it very well, to say the least.  I felt incredibly 
disappointed and pissed off.  While I didn’t rant or cuss her out, I did turn my 
back on her (literally) as she tried to explain, until finally Liliana gave up 
and ran out of my apartment in tears.  

It was only once I had a chance to calm down over the next few days that I 
realized just how much I had come to really like this girl.  But I just couldn’t 
see getting serious about a prostitute and started avoiding the plaza during my 
lunch hours.

As time passed, I began dating a very bright, decent looking woman who was the 
head of Informatics at one of the Government Ministries.  Though she was closer 
to my age and more appropriate in other ways, every time things got hot with 
her, I just couldn’t keep those erotic evenings with Lili out of my head..  

Over the next 2 or 3 months, I even started questioning what I now saw as my 
overreaction to Lili’s revelations.  She really had sounded genuine about her 
desire to find a way to stop prostituting herself.  Certainly a hard-core 
prostitute would hardly have taken on that measly receptionist job that couldn’t 
pay much more than the equivalent of $400 a month; an amount a girl as good 
looking as Lili could make in one good night at the Excelsior.  

Fortunately, it was right about the time that I was feeling the most regretful 
about losing Liliana that I happened to run into her again.  I was leaving my 
dentist’s office early one evening and as I walked out of the elevator, I saw 
her coming out of the ground floor offices of one of the courier services with 
an envelope under her arm.  She looked really happy and I rushed to catch up 
while calling from behind while asking, “Good News?”

After getting over her surprise at seeing me, Liliana explained happily that she 
had finally received the last document she needed from back home to get her 
nursing credentials sorted out.  She looked so damn irresistibly cute as she 
stood their beaming up at me, that I had to struggle to stifle the urge to pick 
her up and start kissing her right there and then.  Any lingering doubts I had 
about hooking up with a prostitute seemed to shrink into insignificance.  After 
all, this wasn’t just any prostitute.  This was my Lili.

What I did do was immediately comment, “Well then.  I think we should celebrate 
your good news.  Let me take you out to dinner.” 

Surprisingly, Lili didn’t hesitate to accept my invitation.  We didn’t really 
talk about anything serious that evening, but it was amazing how easily we fell 
back into our old comfortable friendly chatter.  Her obvious exuberance over the 
possibility of getting her career back on track helped overcome any of the 
awkwardness that might have normally been expected.

As the meal progressed, I did start feeling some concern that underneath her 
excitement, she looked a bit worn down and even thinner than she had been before 
(and Lili is not a woman who can afford to lose too much weight – unless you’re 
into anorexic fashion model types, which I’m not).  I was even more taken aback 
when at one point she opened her purse to get something and I caught sight of a 
pack of cigarettes.  Liliana had not only never smoked, but had often voiced 
very negative opinions about the habit; the most common of which had been, “Que 
asco” (best translated as, ‘Yuck!’).  The fact that Lili didn’t smoke had turned 
out to be yet another of her attributes that I had come to appreciate in 
comparison to Xiomara and Beatriz (though to be fair, both of those women had 
made an honest effort to limit their smoking and surprisingly, most of the time 
it really hadn’t been nearly as bad as I’d always thought dating a smoker would 
be). 

In any case, I didn’t feel confident enough yet in our renewed friendship to say 
anything about either Liliana’s weight or the cigarettes.  So instead I limited 
myself to asking her out on a date for that Friday night, which she gladly 
accepted with another big smile.

The plan had been for me to pick Liliana up at work, take her to dinner and then 
see a movie (what else).  But it didn’t quite go that way..  When I pulled up in 
front of her place and she climbed into the my car, I could immediately tell 
that she had taken much greater care with her appearance than she ever had 
before with me, wearing a very nice form fitting (though not too risqué) dress 
and medium heels.  She also had on more make-up than normal, though not enough 
to disguise the fact that her face still looked a bit gaunt.  She made a 
spectacular enough impression on me that I couldn’t help but start kissing 
before I even pulled away, which she returned with almost desperate enthusiasm.  
We probably would have remained there making out for quite some time if a car 
had not pulled up behind me and started honking, since as usual I ended up 
having to double-park in front of her place and was blocking traffic.  As it 
was, I pulled over a few blocks later so we could continue kissing, and it 
wasn’t long before she suggested we might just head straight back to my 
apartment.  Much like the first time she had come over, we didn’t make it past 
the couch.  Her body was still pretty damn hot, despite the fact that her ribs 
stuck out a bit too much.  But I hardly cared at that point, given that entering 
her tight little pussy was like coming home from a long lonely trip.  We then 
showered together before engaging in another much longer session in my bed.

It was only after we got those first two fucks out of the way, that we finally 
managed to calm down a bit.  I was hungry by then and figuring that Lili could 
use some fattening up, suggested we head over to a nearby Chinese place to get 
some take out.  

She grumbled about the fact that her dress had some barely noticeable wrinkles 
from having ended up tossed into a corner, but admitted to being a bit hungry 
herself and went into the bathroom to fix herself up.

She ended up taking so long that it was my stomach’s turn to start grumbling.  I 
went to check on her and found that she had seemed to have taken the time to 
completely reapply all her make-up.  I complained rather impatiently, “Why are 
you bothering?  Were only walking a few blocks and then coming right back here.  
Besides, you know that you look great without all that make-up.  You never 
needed to use that much before.”

She explained patiently, “This dress wouldn’t look right without makeup.”

Huh?  That certainly didn’t make much sense to me, but I had long stopped trying 
to figure out women when it came to these kinds of things.

She finished touching up her lip gloss and as she turned to leave, she asked 
with a twinkle in her eyes, “Don’t I look good like this?”

I had to admit that whatever she had done, she did look pretty damn spectacular, 
but I did have to point out as I led her out my front door, “Yes, you know you 
look incredible like that, but you also look pretty damn fantastic when you 
don’t use any make-up at all.” 

She replied rather neutrally, “Don’t you deserve to have me take at least as 
much care with the way I look for you as I do with my clients?

Well that certainly shut me up right quick, particularly as I hadn’t missed her 
use of the present tense.  Somehow we had managed to make it this far without 
mentioning the rather humongous gorilla in the room – the very issue that had 
caused me to turn my back on her in the first place.

As we started walking down the main street hand in hand, I made a rather 
unfortunate attempt to break the uncomfortable silence by asking with some 
concern, “Have you been eating enough?”

Lili shrugged, “Probably not.”  She then continued walking a few steps before 
suddenly bursting out rather bitterly, “No thanks to you.”

I was caught completely off guard by this sudden change in tone and once again 
found myself somewhat at a loss for words.  Meanwhile, Lili slowed down and 
seemed to sink into herself as I heard a soft sob that cut right through to my 
heart.  She was not the type to cry easily.  In fact, up to then the only time I 
had seen Lili shed a tear was the night she had fled my apartment after admiting 
to being a prostitute.  

We happened to have stopped next to the small park in front of the neighborhood 
church and I led her over to a bench and let her sob softly on my shoulder.  

At one point she pulled away briefly and pounded a fist lightly against my chest 
while whispering quite emotionally, “I was falling in love with you…”  

What else could I do but apologize repeatedly, “Lo siento, lo siento, lo 
siento…” as she let me pull her back into my arms.  

Lili let me hold her for a few more minutes until her sobs finally seemed to die 
down, before pulling away to get a Kleenex out of her purse.  After drying her 
tears, she pulled out a pack of cigarettes and lit one up.  She remained silent 
as she smoked next to me, staring down at the cigarette between her fingers.  
She finally spoke up by noting in resigned tone of voice. “Not eating enough 
isn’t the only bad habit I seem to have aquired lately.”

I asked with some concern, “How much are you smoking?”

Liliana shrugged, “Not that much; less than a pack a week.”  She then admitted 
with some disbelief, “I’ve actually come to enjoy them. But it really is a 
disgusting habit, isn’t it?”

I responded very cautiously as I was still feeling a bit gun shy, “I’ve always 
thought so, but I have kind of gotten used to women who smoke since I’ve been 
living here.  A pack a week isn’t all that much and you certainly don’t smell 
like an ashtray or anything.”

Lili crushed her cigarette out half smoked, while noting, “I really don’t want 
to get hooked.”  She then stood up and reached for my hand as we continued on in 
silence.  

All this talk about smoking had served its purpose in allowing both of us to 
regroup after that emotional scene, but it was obvious that there were some 
pretty major issues that still had to be dealt with.  I should have realized 
that getting back together was never going to be quite that easy.


HOOKING UP WITH LILIANA
PART 4 OF 6
=======================

It was only after we picked up the Chinese food and started walking back up the 
street that Liliana finally spoke up again.  She started by admitting what was 
already quite apparent; that she had felt extremely hurt at my rejection, 
particularly at the way I hadn’t even given her a chance to explain.  It only 
got worse when she realized that I seemed to be going out of my way to avoid 
her.  While logically she understood that I might be leery at getting involved 
with a woman who was having sex for money, it didn’t make things easier for her 
on an emotional level.  

I interrupted to admit that I could have handled things better.  But she 
insisted, “Don’t blame yourself.  I can now see that it was my fault for not 
having told you from the beginning.  It’s just that I couldn’t face risking your 
friendship.”  She paused, before continuing, “I’ve never felt as lonely as I 
have in this damn country.  Oh, I do know some girls from back home, but they 
seem to be happy working at the Excelsior and can’t understand why I insist on 
giving up that kind of money.  Then just as I was growing apart from them, I met 
this nice, kind, funny gringo who I could always count on to brighten my day on 
my way to work.  And then in what seemed to be a true miracle, it turned out 
that he was actually really interested in me as a woman.  But just as I was 
starting to think I might find some happiness, it all came crashing down.”

Lili then asked in a plaintive voice, “Do you realize how long it had been since 
I’ve allowed myself to feel this way about a man?  Do you realize just how 
important you had become to me?”  

I responded immediately, “At least half as much as you mean to me, or at least I 
hope so.”

That at least got a half smile out of her, before she continued more seriously 
while avoiding my eyes, “But that doesn’t excuse what I did next...“ 

She sounded so miserable and ashamed, that I had to cut in, “You don’t have to 
tell me anything you don’t want to.”

 “Yes I do.  Not telling you things is what got us into trouble in the first 
place.”

When I nodded in acceptance, she continued, “I felt so hopeless, like I would 
never again be able to get a decent man again..  So I started going back to the 
Excelsior after work, screwing whoever wanted to take me out, even guys I would 
never have gone with before.  I also started drinking too much and smoking.”  
She then shrugged, “What did it matter, I felt like I was just a dirty ‘puta’ 
(whore).”

Damn. This was getting downright painful. I rushed to assure her that she was 
not a dirty puta, but she continued as if I hadn’t spoken, “That lasted for a 
couple of weeks until one night I found myself lying under some fat smelly 
gringo, staring at the ceiling while he grunted on top of me.  It was like I was 
suddenly waking up from a nightmare. I asked myself, ‘What in the hell am I 
doing here?’  I’m not sure how I kept from kneeing him in balls and throwing him 
right off me, but somehow I kept it together until he finished.  I then walked 
out of there and haven’t been back since.”

I have to admit that it made me almost nauseous to imagine my Lili lying in a 
hotel bed with her legs open as some fat slob plundered her delicate little 
body.  I guess I must have looked pretty appalled, because Lili rushed to assure 
me in almost a pleading tone, “I have no interest in continuing much longer in 
that business, especially now that I can soon start looking for a full time job 
that hopefully will pay a little more.  But I really don’t need that much money, 
just enough to be able to move to a nicer place and try to get back a normal 
life.”

I had to ask, “Are you still in the business?  But you just said that you had 
never been back to the Excelsior.”

“I haven’t been back there.  But I am still seeing one regular.  He’s another 
foreign businessman who’s based here like you are.  I drop by his apartment 
after work about twice a week.  He never takes me out or even wants to talk very 
much anymore, so it’s mostly just sex and I’m rarely with him for longer than an 
hour, if even that much.”  She then shrugged and concluded, “He’s easy.  If they 
were all like him and being a prostitute didn’t mess up the rest of my life, I 
might even be tempted to continue.  But unfortunately, that’s not the way it 
is.”

By this time we had gotten back to my place.  We remained mostly silent as we 
ate, while I tried to digest everything that she had said.  After we finished, 
she started cleaning up while I used the restroom.  When I came out, I found 
that she had put on an Elvis Crespo CD that she had left at my place months 
earlier and was gently moving to the music while washing the dishes.  Her tight 
little ass looked so damn cute as she rocked her hips to the beat of the 
merengue that I couldn’t help but come up behind her and start nibbling on the 
back of her neck..

Lili shivered, before turning around and giving me a hot passionate kiss.  She 
soon had me twirling her around my small living room laughing as we tried to 
avoid running into my furniture. The mood changed when a ballad came on and she 
quickly melted into my arms.  One thing led to another and we ended up back in 
bed making love for the third time that evening.

It had been a long emotional day and we both fell asleep soon afterwards.  But I 
did wake up once during the night to find her sobbing again into my shoulder.  I 
was overcome by a sudden pang of guilt at whatever role I had played in her 
misfortune, but all I could do was hold her tightly and whisper, “I’ll never 
turn my back on you again.”  At least this seemed to calm her down and I soon 
fell back asleep.

I woke up in the best way possible, with my cock in her warm mouth as she worked 
to bring me off.  She even allowed me to cum in her mouth, though she quickly 
excused herself to rush to the bathroom to spit it out.

When she returned still grimacing at the taste, I said, “You didn’t have to do 
that you know.”

“I wanted to.  I know you like it.  All men do.”

I could see trouble here and it was time to head it off.  “In the first place, I 
enjoy it only if the woman also likes to it and you don’t.  Second, this isn’t 
going to work if you feel like you somehow have to act differently to try to win 
me back.  You already have me back, or at least you do if you’ll just act like 
the wonderful woman I’ve come to love.”

She looked astonished at my words, before a big smile spread across her face.  
Beaming back at me, she asked, “Do you really mean that?”

Oh, oh.  I hadn’t meant to use the L word (or to be accurate, the A word since I 
was speaking in Spanish).  But as I looked into her shining eyes, I couldn’t 
help but admit to myself that there was some truth to it.  I certainly felt more 
for Lili than I had felt for any woman in a very long time.  So I just nodded 
firmly.  This caused her to jump on top of me and start raining kisses all over 
my face and neck.  It was quite some time before we got around to eating 
breakfast.

We remained in that giddy state for much of the rest of the weekend, during 
which we only left my apartment to run over to her place so she could pick up a 
change of clothes, as well as to get food and buy more condoms.  I don’t know 
about Lili, but I have to admit I was quite sore by the time the Sunday evening 
came around.

It was only as I was driving her home that we got back to the subject of her 
continuing to prostitute herself.  It was Lilana who rather tentatively brought 
up the fact that she still did have that one last remaining client.

I was so happy to be back with her that I interrupted, joking, “I really don’t 
care how many men you are with for money, as long as I’m your only real 
boyfriend.”

Lili punched me lightly on the arm, and tried to insist, “Be serious.  You don’t 
really mean that.”

I assured her that I did, before noting, “Besides, I realized a long time ago 
that you were not a hard core prostitute and do really want to get out of the 
business. I imagine you weren’t planning on seeing that guy for much longer.”

Lili nodded emphatically while confirming, “I was already planning on ending 
that arrangement as soon as I can use my nursing credentials to get a higher 
paying job.  But I don’t mind breaking it off immediately if you prefer.”  

While I was quite glad to hear this, I really didn’t know how to respond, 
particularly given that this last was said less than decisively.  The whole 
issue seemed like a potential minefield.  

I knew just how little Liliana was earning at the doctor’s office and wasn’t 
sure I had the right to “force” her to give up what I figured (correctly) must 
be well over half her income.  We’d had a great weekend, but did that really 
give me enough of a claim to dictate terms?  

On the other hand, would she take is as a sign that I wasn’t all that serious 
about her if I didn’t get all macho and start demanding that she start being 
completely faithful?

I even briefly considered offering to give her the money she would be giving up, 
before quickly rejecting that option.  The last thing I wanted was for us to 
start out on that kind of footing and she had always been extremely reluctant to 
accept even taxi money from me.

Since Liliana was clearly still waiting for my response when I pulled up in 
front of her place and made no move to get out of the car, I finally said 
something like, “There’s no rush.  I’m not going to get jealous at this point as 
long as you don’t hide things from me.”

As I said this, I realized that it was actually the truth (or at least an 
accurate reflection of the way I was feeling right then).  I had gotten to the 
point where I would be much more upset if she hid something that important from 
me, than by her continuing her now rather limited prostitution for a short time 
longer. It helped that I sensed that there was no reason to feel threatened by 
her client as it was quite clear that she was not in the least emotionally 
invested in the guy.

Lili looked a bit uncertain at my response, before finally nodding and giving me 
a warm kiss.  Though I was blocking traffic once again, I sat there watching as 
she entered her gate, ignoring the honking horns until she turned around and 
gave me one final happy wave.


HOOKING UP WITH LILIANA
PART 5 OF 6
=======================

Liliana and I quickly settled back into a pattern of spending the weekends 
together, while also often meeting briefly during my lunch hour.  

The next Friday night we did actually make it to a movie before heading home.  
Lili was back to wearing jeans, but had obviously taken care with her make-up 
(though it was still relatively light for a woman going out on a date) and was 
actually wearing heels again.  I wasn’t complaining as I quickly realized that 
the combination of those tight jeans and heels perfectly showed off her tight 
little ass.  In fact I had trouble keeping my hands off it all evening, not that 
she seemed to mind. Lili also had some good news to report.  She hadn’t smoked a 
cigarette all week.

I tried to ignore the issue of her last remaining client and made a point of not 
bringing it up over the next few weeks.  But once the euphoria of our getting 
back together wore off, it did start bothering me.  This was particularly true 
on some weeknights when I would find myself lying alone in my bed, knowing that 
my girlfriend might be out fucking some guy for a quick $150.

Fortunately, it was only about 3 or 4 weeks later that Lili announced out of the 
blue that she had ended her arrangement and was finally out of the business of 
selling her pussy.  

Though it was mostly a relief, I was also quite surprised to find myself feeling 
a little disappointed.  Of course this last might have been due to the fact that 
she made this announcement while fondling my cock to see if she could get it 
hard again after a rather spectacular bout of lovemaking.  In my aroused state, 
there was suddenly something deliciously depraved about the idea that this 
rather charming seemingly wholesome looking young woman had been fucking other 
cocks for money.

If her intention had been to turn me on, it certainly worked as I was suddenly 
as stiff as a board.  Lily giggled and murmured, “If I had known it was going to 
have this effect on you, I would have stopped “puteando” (whoring) a long time 
ago.”

Though I didn’t respond verbally, something in my expression must have told her 
that she had missed the mark.  Lili got a surprised look on her face before 
teasing, “Or is it that you were imaging me doing all those nasty things I had 
to do?”

Lili must have seen that this time she’d guessed right, probably because I must 
have looked somewhat ashamed.  But rather than taking it badly, she actually 
gave me a teasing smile, before excusing herself to go into the bathroom with 
her purse.  She was in there for quite some time and I began to worry that 
perhaps she had been upset after all.  So when she came back into the bedroom, 
my first reaction was to feel a bit relieved, though this quickly turned into a 
new wave of lust.  She had put on much heavier make-up, including a bright red 
lipstick I had never seen before, and had slipped on her heels, while remaining 
otherwise nude.  Lili sauntered over towards me with a seductive swing to her 
hips, knelt down and started kissing all up and down my cock, leaving a trail of 
red lipstick marks in her wake.  When she had finally worked her way all the way 
around, she looked up and announced seductively, “I may not be selling myself to 
other men any longer, but I would love to be your personal whore”.  

Liliana went on to bring me off in her mouth for only the third time since we 
had first slept together.  When she tried to pull away to head for the bathroom, 
I was all the way into the fantasy and I held her up, whispering, “I like my 
whores to swallow.”  Lily promptly made a show of doing just that.  Though I 
could tell that she still didn’t like the taste much, strangely enough she 
actually seemed to get off on it.

It was only the next morning that I asked her with some concern if she could 
really afford to stop seeing her client, given that she had only just started 
looking for a full-time job.  Lili admitted that things would be tight, but she 
did have some savings left over from those months at the Excelsior; primarily 
because she had continued renting a room in her cheap boarding house rather than 
finding an apartment of her own.  I started to offer a ‘loan’, but as I half 
expected, she was quite firm in turning me down, insisting, “You know I won’t 
take money from my boyfriends..” 

When another week or so went by without Lili finding a job, I began to try to 
come up with some way of helping her out.  As she had continued to only come 
over on weekends, I could get pretty hard up as the week went on.  I started 
jerking off to memories of the some of the role-playing I had done with Beatriz 
the previous year, only with Liliana in Bea’s place.  One evening as I was 
replaying a time when Beatriz had surprised me by showing up late one night 
dressed like a streetwalker, it suddenly occurred to me that there might be a 
way of killing two birds with one stone.

The following afternoon, I called Liliana at the doctor’s office and announced 
rather suggestively, “I really need my ‘putita’ (little whore) tonight.  I would 
make it worth her while if she were to show up at my apartment.”

I heard a gasp over the phone line and then dead silence.  Just as I was 
starting to kick myself over having gone through with such a harebrained idea, 
she finally responded in a seductive whisper, “Your putita can be there at nine.  
But it will cost you a $100.”

I certainly got what I’d asked for.  The apparition that strutted through my 
door later that evening bore little resemblance to the sweet affectionate woman 
I was growing to love.  And it wasn’t just the stiletto heeled boots, slinky 
short dress, bright red lipstick and heavy eye make-up (heavy by her standards 
anyway, since it was actually about the norm for what girls might put on to go 
clubbing in these parts).  There was this cool seductive attitude about her that 
I had never seen before.  Not only had Lili clearly decided to play the role to 
the hilt, but she managed to keep it up during the entire hour or so she was 
there right through having me call her a taxi and strutting out with my $100 
bill in her purse.

It was only when she looked back up at me after I helped her into the cab, that 
some of the ‘real’ Liliana broke out.  She gave me one of her mischievous grins 
while noting, “That was fun.  Please call me if you need my services again.”  
The cab driver certainly did a double-take.  As I walked back up the stairs to 
my apartment, I remember thinking, ‘On top of everything else, this girl is one 
hell of an actress.’  I couldn’t have known just how prescient that thought was 
to turn out to be.

For the next several weeks we fell into a very enjoyable pattern.  On weekends 
we continued dating like a normal couple, going out to dinner, dancing or a 
movie, before ending up at my apartment, where she usually stayed until Sunday 
afternoon.  She tended to dress in informal though attractive clothes and still 
wore relatively little makeup.  But more importantly, she was the usual 
affectionate loving young woman I had grown to appreciate so much.  

On weeknights it was a different story, as about once a week I would call her at 
work and my whore would show up.  Liliana would rush home and dress in the most 
sluttish outfit possible, and then taxi over to my place to service me in pretty 
much any way I could think of, learning to become more comfortable drinking my 
cum and eventually giving up her anal virginity (at her insistence and even 
though anal was one thing she had adamantly refused to do before meeting me, 
even turning down ridiculous sums of money from a couple of her johns).  

Given that while actually working as an escort and prostitute, Liliana had 
dressed only a bit on the sexy side, we also had fun doing some clothes shopping 
to build up her collection of slutty outfits.  Or to be more accurate, she had a 
lot of fun dragging me around to do the shopping, while I managed to survive by 
thinking about the way I would benefit from her increasing collection of 
miniskirts that barely covered her crotch, semi-transparent blouses and stiletto 
heels.  She never wore any of these outfits on weekends (or in public) – 
particularly the stilettos as it turned out that she had always tended to avoid 
heels that were either too thin or too high, even during her stint as an escort.  
This may be in part because at almost 5’8", she is very much on the high side by 
local standards.  It probably also helped that with her looks, she never felt 
the need.  

I even bought her a garter belt and stockings during one of my business trips to 
the States, though they turned out to be less than practical in the tropics.  
There is a reason why almost all women here go bare-legged, even in the most 
formal of office settings.  The same is even truer in Lili’s country of origin 
and in fact, I don’t think I’ve seen her wear pantyhose even once in all these 
years (no great loss from my point of view).  

While sex on the weekends was always great, it was usually downright spectacular 
on those weeknights when she was acting the whore.  Even Liliana eventually 
started to fall out of character long enough to have ear splitting orgasms on 
some of those occasions.  

Liliana soon became obsessed with wanting to feel my cum inside her pussy.  
Having been well trained by her mother, she had actually never fucked a guy 
without a condom.  I have to admit that I was equally eager to take her 
bareback.  So she went on the pill and we took a battery of STD tests.  

Actually, in Lili’s case, she simply renewed her expired prostitute’s license.  
That way she could not only get the tests for free at the Ministry of Health’s 
clinic for sex workers, but it gave her an additional prop the next time she 
came over to play the whore.  

My clever Putita waited until just after she had impaled herself on my cock in 
the cowgirl position before flashing me her renewed license.  She announced, 
“I’m clean, so on Friday you can have me without protection,” before going into 
lewd detail on just how great it was going to be to fuck without a piece of 
latex between us.

Just as this was really beginning to get me going, she upped the ante by asking, 
“Do you know why I renewed my license instead of just going to the lab with 
you?”

When I could only shake my head, she continued by teasing, “I just might want to 
go down to the Excelsior.  I was thinking it might be nice to have my own car.  
Of course, I’d have to fuck a lot of men to make enough money.  But you wouldn’t 
mind would you?”

I answered by roughly flipping her over and pounding away at her pussy harder 
than I ever had before, until I finally exploded into what I was imagining was 
her whoring cunt.  That was one of the times that she also let herself go and 
responded with a big orgasm of her own.   

I guess I probably should have worried about the fact that this particular 
fantasy had turned both of us on so much, but at the time I just assumed it was 
part of our game.  It’s only in retrospect that it takes on greater importance.

Besides, the excitement we felt that evening was quickly overshadowed just a 
couple of days later when I was finally able to push my uncovered cock inside 
her hot juicy pussy. We both went wild as I blasted one of my biggest loads yet. 

Lili then did something that remains one of my all time favorite erotic 
memories.  She asked me to bring over her purse and used her compact mirror to 
watch my cun slowly drip out of her little hole.  I pulled out my video camera 
and managed to record a close up of her using her fingers to spread our combined 
juices all over her crotch, getting so turned on that she ended up bringing 
herself to her second screaming orgasm of the evening.  I later copied that clip 
on to a DVD and it remains one of my prized possessions.  It certainly beats any 
commercial porn movie I’ve ever seen.

It is telling that Liliana continued to insist we use condoms when she visited 
me midweek as my putita.  I think this was the first sign that she might be 
beginning to have some trouble compartmentalizing the two roles, particularly 
given the way she was now openly enjoying the sex during those midweek visits.

Years later, after I realized just how good an actress Liliana could be, I asked 
her if she really had been that turned on by those games, given that at the time 
she had been so down on her experiences as a prostitute.  Lili insisted that she 
had enjoyed playing my personal whore just as much as I had.  In retrospect, she 
thought there were two primary reasons for this:

(1)  She took it as confirmation that I not only accepted her past in 
prostitution, but could actually get turned on by it.

(2)  She got a perverse thrill out of the fact that she could turn me on so much 
that I would be willing to pay for something she was already giving me for free.

Of course, it could be simply that at heart, Liliana really is a bit of a 
whore..  

Mind you, she’s much more than just a whore.  She’s also a loving, affectionate 
and caring woman with a lot more to offer than just her body.  Her problem had 
been that working as a full-time prostitute forced her to repress all these 
other key aspects of her personality.  This is what was starting to drive her 
into the ground and caused her to start trying to break away from the business; 
that and the fact that despite being somewhat selective in accepting ‘dates’, 
she inevitably ended up fucking too many guys who turned her stomach.



HOOKING UP WITH LILIANA
PART 6 OF 6
=======================

Things finally came to a head some three months after we had gotten back 
together.  Finding an attractive full-time nursing position turned out to be 
tougher than Liliana had imagined, in part because they put some restrictions on 
her accreditation (becoming the equivalent of a full RN here requires a more 
rigorous four year post-secondary program compared to the two years she did back 
home).  

To make matters worse, Liliana lost her part-time job when the regular 
receptionist returned to work.  

Since I no longer had any doubts that we loved each other, I proposed that she 
move in.  It took some convincing because Lili still didn’t like the idea of 
being completely economically dependent on a man.  I took this in stride, 
recognizing that I was, after all, Liliana’s first really serious relationship 
since the guy she ended up having to run away from when she was 18.  It was to 
be expected that she would take some time getting over her natural resistance to 
becoming that dependent again.

What was of greater concern was whether we would even have that kind of time.  I 
was expecting to be transferred to another country in the spring, so at least 
initially neither of us saw our relationship as something long-term.  While this 
might explain some of her caution, conversely I think it also helped convince 
Liliana to finally accept my offer, since it seemed to guarantee that it would 
not be a permanent arrangement even if we wanted it to be.  

The irony is that Liliana finally did find a full time position at a nursing 
home only a couple of weeks later that would begin after the New Years.  But by 
then she had settled into my apartment and neither of us brought up the 
possibility of her getting her own place.  I think we both wanted to take full 
advantage of any time we had left.

Selfishly, I was a bit concerned that living together might represent the end of 
our ‘whore’ nights.  I was still really enjoying those evenings – it was almost 
like dating two different women, both of whom provided something the other 
didn’t.  Fortunately Liliana came up with a solution.  During those first couple 
of months of living together we settled into a pattern where about once a week I 
would call her from my office and tell her that I was in the mood for my 
‘putita’.  Sure enough, I would walk in to find her all dolled up and at my 
service.  I even continued to pay her on those occasions as I knew she was 
determined to save up as much of her salary as possible so as to have a nest egg 
when I left.  I did think it was kind of funny that while she initially wouldn’t 
allow me to give her any spending money beyond what was necessary to cover our 
common household expenses, she seemed to have no qualms about continuing to 
accept cash when she played the whore.

But the “whore” nights did eventually die out once Lili had started her new 
full-time job, in part because she often had the 4 pm to midnight shift (on 
alternate weeks if remember correctly).  Besides, our little game had finally 
gradually begun to lose its luster.  

Fortunately, though she reverted to being the 'real' Liliana at all times, she 
did incorporate some of the teasing and sexiness of her 'weekday' persona.  I 
think the fact that she was no longer prostituting herself lessened her need to 
maintain such a sharp separation between the way she dressed and acted while 
with johns compared to when she was with me or at work.  In fact, I was to come 
to realize that the ‘real’ Liliana was actually a combination of those two 
sharply distinct facets of her personality.

I had long had trouble reconciling the way she had originally come across to me 
with her description of her very active social life during her military years.  
But as she came out of her shell during those first months together, I began to 
see signs of the more assertive, confident, and sexually adventurous single 
woman she must have been before being dragged down by having to sell herself to 
men on a full time basis.

She was later to joke something along the lines of, “The problem with working 
out of the Excelsior wasn’t the taking money for sex in itself. That can 
actually be kind of exciting.  The problem was that it broke my most important 
rule of only having sex where and when I wanted to.  Fucking an endless series 
of guys every day just started getting to me.”

Perhaps another indication of all this was the evolution of my nickname for her.  
While we had started by referring to her weeknight persona as my 'Putita', she 
seemed to like it when I continued to use this pet name even after we stopped 
playing those games, going so far as to refer to herself by that name when we 
were just being affectionate.  This should have been another warning about what 
was to come a few years down the road.

I think we were both kind of surprised that if anything, our relationship 
actually improved once we started sharing our day to day lives.  I can honestly 
say I had never felt so comfortable with a woman, even during the best years 
with my first wife.  Thus, I soon began to worry that I might never find another 
woman as right for me as Liliana.  

A couple of events made me begin to take this consideration seriously.  First, 
my parents came down to spend Christmas with us, along with my little sister, 
who was in the middle of her senior year in college. 

In the days before their arrival, Liliana was quite uncharacteristically 
something of a nervous wreck.  It didn’t help that we had been living together 
less than a month and that the plan called for my family to stay with us in my 
small two bedroom apartment while we were in the city.  At least I had made 
reservations at the beach for most of their stay.

Fortunately, Lili’s plan to win over the women folk in my family worked like a 
charm.  My little sister turned out to be easy, despite the fact that her 
Spanish was rather limited (she had been too young when our family had lived for 
a time in Latin America).  Lili still spoke almost no English; beyond what was 
necessary to negotiate a date with a gringo client – hardly applicable in this 
situation.  

Sis had started smoking while in college and was desperate to keep this from our 
very anti-smoking father.  Lili cooperated by constantly coming up with reasons 
for the two of them to head out on their own; something that did not seem 
unusual given that they are close in age.  I was a bit concerned when Lili began 
bumming cigarettes off my sister, but she assured me that she had no intention 
of starting to smoke again.  Actually, it was all kind of ridiculous as my folks 
must have realized that my sister was smoking, given that she was not able to 
completely hide the smell.  But they made a point of pretending not to notice, 
so we all kept up the charade (something they continued to do for several more 
years until after my sister finally quit when she got pregnant).

My mother proved a slightly harder nut to crack.  At least Mom still speaks 
almost fluent though rusty Spanish, so communication was not a problem.  But she 
did take her time in warming up to Lili.  Part of the problem is that my mother 
had little confidence in my judgment about woman given some rather disastrous 
choices in high school, followed by what happened with my first wife.  Mom had 
warned me that I was marrying a girl who was still too immature and selfish to 
make a marriage work and had not been happy when I ignored her advice.  But I 
was 10 years older now and if there was one thing I was sure about, it was that 
Liliana bore little resemblance to my ex.  

Fortunately, Mom eventually reached the same conclusion and by the time we 
returned from the beach, was treating Liliana with more warmth than she had ever 
shown any of my previous girlfriends.  The last thing Mom said to me when I 
dropped my family off at the airport was, “Liliana is not only very sweet, but 
has a solid head on her shoulders.  You’ll really regret it if you let her get 
away.”  Of course, Mom didn’t know about the more sordid aspects of Lili’s past 
(and still doesn’t), but somehow I think this probably would not have made much 
of a difference to her.  Mom has never been close minded.

A couple of weeks after my family went back home, I took off on a long business 
trip.  If I had any inclination to ignore my mother’s advice, being away from 
Liliana for almost four full weeks finally decided the issue.  I couldn’t 
believe how much I missed my ‘Putita’ and judging by our phone calls and e-
mails, she felt the same way, only managing because she was so busy settling in 
to her new job.

By the time I finally flew home, I was quite desperate to see her, not in the 
least because she promised a welcome that I would never forget.

I got my first hint of what she had in mind when she picked me up at the 
airport.  Waiting for me was quite definitely Lili the whore, making her very 
first appearance in public.  She was wearing an extremely short skirt, 4 inch 
platform heels, and a loose backless halter top that showed off her flat belly.  
A considerable amount of tastefully applied makeup served to complete the 
picture. Even kissing her felt different as the only times she had previously 
put on such a thick coat of glossy lipstick was during our whore games, when she 
would quite properly refuse to kiss me on the lips (as I noted earlier, Lili 
took her characterizations quite seriously).  

As if all this wasn’t enough, after flirtatiously using a finger to wipe off the 
lipstick left behind on my mouth from our first kiss, she twirled around, while 
asking, “How do you like your ‘puta’ (and note, she used the much cruder term 
‘puta’ rather than our more affectionate ‘putita’).  Well there is certainly no 
doubt as to what most onlookers must have thought, given the whistles she 
received from several men as she led me towards my car.

I had to note with some amusement, “You know what they think you are.”

Lili shrugged and replied, “And they would be right.”  Seeing my alarm at this 
statement, she continued, “I’m your personal Putita after all.  I would never 
broaden out to include others behind your back.”  

This reference to broadening out wasn’t exactly reassuring either, but I quickly 
got distracted marveling at just how sexy she looked.  In fact, she made such an 
impression that there was no way I could wait the full 40 minutes or so until we 
got home and instead pulled into a motel.  If I was going to have a whore as 
girlfriend, I might as well take full advantage of it.

It’s funny though.  While we had incredibly fantastic sex that weekend, what 
finally convinced me to start looking seriously for a way for us to stay 
together was something that happened the following Monday night.  Lili had the 
late shift at the nursing home and having slept every little over the 48 hours 
since my arrival, she arrived home shortly after midnight looking completely 
exhausted.  I had taken the day off and was sitting on the couch watching TV 
while waiting for her.  Liliana drifted in looking like she could hardly stand 
up, with her light green uniform all wrinkled, her hair in an unruly ponytail, 
and without a lick of make-up left on her face.  She climbed up on to my lap 
sitting sideways, put her head on my shoulder and promptly fell asleep.  As I 
sat there holding her in my arms while feeling her soft snores against my neck, 
I suddenly felt such an outpouring of love and affection that I knew right then 
and there that almost any sacrifice was worth it to keep this woman by my side.

Fortunately, after going back and forth with my superiors over the next month, I 
was finally able to get them to agree to let me stay where I was.  My company 
had a relatively small presence in the country and it might have been better for 
my career to move to a larger office.  But I also enjoyed the relative autonomy 
I had working here.  Unfortunately, in return I did have to agree to make myself 
available for troubleshooting at our other offices around the world, which would 
inevitably require much more frequent travel.  

Liliana was ecstatic about the news, as by then she had finally put aside any 
reluctance to tying herself to me.  In fact, she was the one who first suggested 
a visible symbol of her commitment to our relationship.  She had noticed that I 
seemed interested in girls who had non-facial piercings and came up with the 
idea of getting her navel done as a sign that she would always be my own 
personal “putita”.  I half seriously suggested she also pierce her nipples, but 
she looked so appalled that I quickly dropped the idea.  

Liliana and I got married in late 2001, on the anniversary of the day we had 
first met at that Peruvian restaurant and also almost exactly one year after we 
moved in together.  We were very much the stereotypical in love newlywed couple 
and given all we had been through, I think we both assumed that the days of Lili 
selling her pussy for money were over and done with.  It turns out we were 
wrong, but that’s another story.

 

Kelly, and that’s how I ended up marrying a prostitute.  I hope you found it 
worth reading.  As I hinted at the end, we’ve had our adventures since we got 
married.  If you are still interested, I’ll try to continue with the next 
account of our experiences.  Hopefully, this time it won’t take me a full year 
to get it done.


Chapter 2 - Xiomena Was My Girlfriend and an Escort
===================================================

Here's the rest of my account of my experiences with Xiomara.  I've inserted 
into the original text file that includes my first e-mail to you, but I can't 
get the margins for the new part to line up with what was already there.  I've 
never worked much with TXT.  Please let me know if this works or if you need me 
to send it to you some other format (RTF?) or directly as a (very long) e-mail. 

This is the final complete version and I have double-checked to make sure I 
changed the names of all the people and some of the locations to preserve 
anonymity.  So I think you can now safely post it.

Finding the rest of those old e-mails was a real blessing as otherwise there is 
no way I would have been able to remember so many details on my own.  As a 
result though, it has gotten really long.  I hope that's not a problem.

Please note that these e-mails were mostly written in Spanglish, so I have 
translated quite a bit.  Where I left in words in Spanish, I've added the 
English translation in parenthesis.  I have also inserted a few explanatory 
notes in the middle of some of these old e-mails.  These are clearly marked NOTE 
and were not part of the original e-mail. 

I've clearly taken considerable literary license in recreating the other 
incidents I describe outside of the old e-mails, particularly conversations.  My 
memory isn't that good after more than 8 years.  But for whatever its worth, 
they are all based on real incidents (not that I expect anyone to necessarily 
take my word for it).

I'll probably eventually try to get around to writing you about Liliana if you 
are still interested, but the timing depends on how busy things get at work.  
This week was really light and I got caught up in all my memories from that 
time.

Saludos,
Rob

Kelly:

Thanks for getting back to me.

I guess I did get kind of carried away yesterday..  What happened was that Lili 
and I had a long talk about her experiences this weekend while at the beach, 
after a few years of not really talking about it.  This was sparked by reading 
your essay on escorting and the fact that she surprised me by actually sounding 
fond about those days, I guess in comparison to her recent more routine life of 
studying at the University and taking care of our small daughter.  She even 
asked what I thought about her dipping her toe in those waters again, 
particularly as she's trying to get together some start-up capital to start a 
business (she finishes a business degree this year).  Needless to say this kind 
of shook me up a bit.

As it was a really slow day at work yesterday, while I was waiting to be sent a 
document from one of our other offices I just started typing out the letter, I 
guess more as a way of organizing my own thoughts (I find writing things out 
helps me do this).  The next thing I knew I had written over 2 pages and I 
started to wonder if you would even be all that interested.  So instead of 
writing more, I just proofread what I had typed and sent you what I had last 
night.

Anyway today I do have a lot more work, so I better get back to it.  I guess if 
you are interested I could write more when I free up some time and if its OK 
with Lili.  Otherwise, please keep up the diary as I do enjoy reading it.  You 
have a great way of writing sex scenes while providing enough context to make it 
real..

Regards,
Rob

Hi Kelly:

Ever wonder how a successful businessman ends up getting married to a former 
escort and prostitute?  It is a bit hard to explain.  To do this, I think I 
first need to write about the woman I was dating before Liliana.

When Liliana and I first met towards the end of 1999, I had been living here for 
almost two years, having taken an assignment abroad shortly after the definitive 
break-up of my first marriage to my college girlfriend.  During my first year 
here I basically played the field, just getting used to dating; a major 
adjustment after having been with the same woman for most of the time going all 
the way back to my sophomore year in college.

At first, this seemed to be the perfect country for getting into the dating 
scene.  There certainly seemed to plenty of available single professional women 
in their mid to late 20's, who were interested in a 30 year old guy with a good 
job.  It helped that I spoke good Spanish and tended to me more culturally 
sensitive than many Americans men down here.  And I did meet some really nice 
attractive women.  But the timing was all wrong.  Most of these women were 
looking for something long-term and the last thing I wanted coming out of a 
divorce was a serious relationship.  

So during my second year in country, I spent most of the year in and out of a 
relationship with a woman with whom it seemed there would be little danger that 
things would get too serious.  

Xiomara was a 28 year old Nicaraguan graduate student who was financing her 
education by being the mistress of a middle-aged married Italian business-man.  
He had her set up in an apartment, and was paying her tuition and a $2000 a 
month stipend in exchange for her being available to him the one week each month 
that he flew in from Milan to oversee his investments in the country.  This kind 
of arrangement is really not all that unusual in Southern Europe and parts of 
Latin America (though not so much here). 

Xiomara was a pretty fascinating woman.  While not what you would call a 
classical beauty, she radiated a certain elegance, natural intelligence and 
inner strength that most men found very attractive.  She was always perfectly 
groomed and quite stylish, in an artsy European sort of way.  For example, 
Xiomara is the only woman I've ever known who could smoke using a longish 
cigarette holder (which she only did very occasionally at parties), and not look 
utterly ridiculous doing so. It didn't hurt that she was tall for a Nicaraguan 
(about 5'8"), had a fantastic body and was incredibly good in bed.  

I was a bit of a jock in college and am not a bad looking guy, but quite 
honestly, Xiomara would have been way out of my league back in New York (or in 
Milan for that matter).

We originally met in January 1999 at a soccer game of all places, when she and 
the Italian guy ended up sitting next to me and a friend.  I then ran into her 
in a bar one evening and after she blatantly flirted with me for about an hour, 
managed to work the nerve to ask her out.

Instead of writing what happened next from scratch, I'm inserting an extract 
from an e-mail I sent at the time to my best friend from high school.  For years 
he used to write me about all his misadventures with the opposite sex (and if 
there ever was a guy with incredibly bad luck when it came to women, it was 
him), but after my divorce we sort of reversed our roles as he had finally met 
his future wife and I was the one trying to figure things out.
 

From e-mail dated May 13, 1999:

"The other good friend is Xiomara, this spectacularly good looking Nicaraguan 
woman in her late 20's.  When we first met, we actually dated for about a month 
until I broke it off as it started getting too weird for me.  She's the mistress 
of a 40 something Italian businessman ….  She never really opened up to me, was 
completely undependable about showing up for dates, and was always paranoid 
about being seen by some friend of the Italian – a real stereotype "femme 
fatale".

Funny how things turn out though because when I ran into her a couple of months 
later downtown, we went into a soda (like a café) and ended up spending 5 hours 
just talking.  It was like being with a totally different person.  We ended up 
getting together as friends several times a week after work (when the Italian 
was away), sometimes just the two of us to drink beers and talk in "total 
confianza" and other times with her rather wide circle of friends, mostly from 
the local arts scene.  She turned out to be totally different that the image she 
gave when we were sleeping together.  When not, in her words, "jugando el papel 
de la querida" (playing the role of mistress), her real personality comes out.  
She is extremely well read and very perceptive, with a very strong loyalty to 
her friends.

This woman has a really fascinating past, some of which she told me and the rest 
I learned from old friends of hers.  She had been a leading dancer with the 
Nicaraguan National Dance Company as a teen-ager, before blowing out a knee at 
the tender age of 18 just as she was accepted in an advanced dance program in 
Cuba .  She had also undertaken military training while in the dance company - 
they had been incorporated into the Sandinista Militia back in the 80's.  So 
with her dance career over, she was called into active service in an 
administrative position, eventually becoming the mistress of the head of the 
Sandinista Police. 

That lasted until she figured out he was never going to leave his wife for her, 
at which point she used her political contacts to finagle a scholarship to study 
in Italy, where she also taught classes in salsa and merengue for expense money 
and fell in and out of a drug problem while living with a young rich coke-head.  
She returned to Nicaragua after finishing an undergraduate degree to find that 
the only job she could get given the disastrous economic situation in that 
country was as the financial manager of a chain of motels (ie. the fancy by-the-
hour kind that you find on the outskirts of most Latin American cities).  She 
got bored with being broke, did not like the proposal of the now ex-police chief 
to manage a high class whorehouse he was opening up (his solution to the new 
"capitalist" Nicaragua), and was looking into going abroad again to study.  So 
when she ran into the Italian guy (who had actually taught a business course at 
her University in Italy), she agreed to his proposed that she move here where 
he had business interests that would require him to visit regularly and the 
Universities have a decent reputation. 

All the above left her with an abysmal attitude towards men (as well as a rabid 
hatred of drugs), and as I am not a masochist, I've been resisting the 
temptation to resume any kind of romantic relationship with her.  In fact, she 
gotten into a "matchmaking mode" trying to hook me up with some of her friends.  
She has some pretty amazingly attractive friends, but I kind of leery about the 
whole situation."
 

Kelly, I think I'll have to stop here for now as Liliana is finally ready so we 
can go out with some friends.  Will try to continue this account about the days 
before I met my wife in another e-mail; maybe tomorrow if I have time.

Take care,
Rob

PART 2: XIOMARA AND FRIENDS

Things did get kind of weird, as you can see in this next much longer extract 
from another subsequent e-mail to my old high school friend, "Chicho". (Chicho 
is originally from South America but did high school & college in the US before 
moving to Europe). Reading it again now, it does give a pretty good idea of 
where my head was at during the summer of '99 (not that it was summer down here, 
but anyway…)


Extracted from e-mail sent July 11, 1999:

Oye Chichote:

So you want to know all the juicy details about Xiomara & her friends?  Que 
pasa?  Is your inner voyeur coming out now that you've finally settled down with 
Katia?  Well I guess it's only fair given all the stuff you used to write me 
when I was the "poor married fool" (to use your own words).  So you're in luck 
because it's a lazy Saturday afternoon and for once I have no dates or other 
compromisos.  A certain balding Italian guy is in town and my other main squeeze 
(See, I really can sound like you!) has some activity with her kids.  Oh right, 
I haven't told you about her yet.  Well get comfy because this is going to be a 
long one.

I already wrote you a bit about Xiomara, and its true, her story would make a 
good novel.  The Police Chief I mentioned (or the "Comandante" as she calls him) 
was actually in charge of one of the regions near Managua and not the entire 
country.  He kept that position through the early Chamorro years when the 
Sandinistas still controlled the police and military.  He sounds like a real pig 
as he took advantage of an emotional time for her (her mother had a first minor 
stroke and she had left the National Dance Company) to swoop down and steel her 
away from her long-time high-school novio (boyfriend), who had wanted to marry 
her.  Then being his lover made her "unmarriageable".

According to an old friend of hers, Zayda (whom I'll write more about later), it 
turns out that she actually had quite a high profile in Managua at one time as 
the "amante del comandante" (lover of the commander), even appearing in gossip 
columns. This notoriety came about in part because she already had some public 
recognition after an incident that happened when she was about 17.  Along with 
some of the other dancers, she was doing a USO type tour performing for the 
troops in the northern part of the country when their truck broke down forcing 
them to spend the night in a small encampment instead of one of the larger more 
secure bases.  Their encampment came under fire from a Contra raiding party late 
that night. When the guy who was watching over the dancers got hit, she picked 
up his AK-47 and helped hold that section of the perimeter. While Zayda is prone 
to exaggeration and Xiomara doesn't like talking about the incident, there's 
probably at least some basis for the story.


((NOTE: I found out later that Xiomara's father had been pulled out of his 
office, tortured and killed by Somoza's goons in the early days of the 
revolution, when she was just a kid, for daring to sign a petition that asked 
that the Dictator call for elections as a way of avoiding further insurrection, 
which he saw as bad for business.  He underestimated how desperate Somoza had 
become that he would start killing small businessmen from respectable families.  
This explains her early affinity with the Sandinistas and absolute hatred of the 
Contra.  This is also why she didn't hesitate to volunteer for the tours for the 
troops or to become a reservist as soon as she was old enough)).


Anyway, because of all the gossip, the Comandante had to arrange for a discharge 
for Xiomara, though he did then use his influence to get her a teaching position 
in an elementary school and set her up in an apartment.  He now owns the most 
exclusive escort agency in town (the one he tried to get Xiomara to manage).  
Actually, you can hardly recognize her from her photos from that period because 
the guy was obviously predisposed in that direction and already liked his women 
to dress in slutty outfits, with lots of glossy make-up, hooker heels, the 
works; something that Xiomara now does only on rather rare unpredictable 
occasions that drive me crazy.  I never know how to dress when we're going to 
see each other since she normally wears more comfortable, though stylish, 
outfits, with understated make-up.

Unfortunately, even the teaching job turned out to be only temporary as the 
Comandante wanted her as dependent on him as possible.  She eventually feared 
she was becoming an alcoholic from sitting alone in her apartment or the Italian 
Restaurant downstairs, drinking and waiting for his increasingly infrequent 
visits.  Fortunately she became good friends with the older Italian couple who 
ran the restaurant and they started looking out for her.  They got her 
interested in taking Italian lessons and were the ones who introduced her to the 
right people in the Embassy so that she could arrange for her scholarship.  She 
was quite willing to do her thing for the Revolution, but not on her back, so 
she fled the country.

Her problems came after she had been back in Nicaragua for a couple of years 
when her mother lost what remained of the family business (a couple of 
boutiques) due to the ailing economy and promptly had a second more serious 
stroke.  Her measly salary of less than $150 a month from the motel chain (which 
believe it or not is actually pretty good money in Nicaragua) was not even close 
to being enough to cover the costs of caring for her mother.  Fortunately she 
avoided having to become a Madam by the surprising appearance of one of her 
former professors from Italy in the restaurant below her old apartment; which 
she still frequented even though she was now living with her mother.  The guy 
wined and dined her all week, before finally convincing her to move here.

Personally I think the Italian guy must be really nuts, because he's paying her 
a lot of money just to see her a few times a month when he's in town, despite 
the fact that she accepts no limits on going out with friends whenever she feels 
like it; having leaned from her experience with the Comandante (though she does 
make a point of being very discrete).  

The guy usually doesn't even stay at her place, but rather gets a hotel suite he 
can work out of and then just has her stay over there part of the time.  

For him it must be some kind of macho thing.  Also, while Xiomara is bright and 
attractive, she is much more the artsy intellectual type than the glamorous 
empty-headed model you tend to think of as a mistress.  Actually, the way she 
describes it is kind of funny.  I can just see her lazing about on top of the 
bed dressed in fancy lingerie and full make-up, with her reading glasses on and 
her head buried in a book, while he's off in the other room meeting with all his 
co-investors and other business contacts.

For her, I think it helps that he is relatively young (about 40), and in her 
words, "muy guapo, muy respetuoso y muy elegante" (very handsome, very 
respectful, and very elegant).  He reminds her a bit of the singer Eros 
Ramazotti, and I have to admit there is a resemblance, right down to the shaved 
head to cover up his premature baldness.  But she talks about all this as if it 
were just an added bonus as what's most important is that he gives her the money 
she needs.  She insists that she never talks to him about anything serious and 
she still doesn't understand his motivation since his wife is very nice, quite 
gorgeous and is elegant in that high fashion way that Xiomara will never be (not 
surprising since the wife is a former model who works in the fashion industry in 
Milan).  Her only conclusion after much personal experience is that "los hombres 
italianos son todos unos perros." (All Italian men are dogs)

Xiomara's problem now is that while she genuinely did love the Comandante (at 
least initially), she only "likes" the Italian and being dependent on him is 
eating away at her.  But to go to school and keep supporting her family back 
home, her only alternatives are even worse.  Xiomara is now not only paying for 
full time personal care for her incapacitated mother, but also for her sister to 
go to secretarial school and for her nieces to go to a private bilingual school, 
as she talked her sister into leaving an abusive alcoholic husband.

One disconcerting thing about Xiomara is that she does have a temper.  So far 
she's never gotten angry with me, but the most extreme example is what she did 
to another Nicaraguan woman a few weeks ago.  Of course, she did have a good 
reason for getting very angry.  
 
The entire incident started with Zayda, a 16 year old girl and former student of 
Xiomara's from her teaching days, who Xiomara at various times calls "hijita" or 
"hermanita" (little daughter or little sister).  Xiomara actually took Zayda in 
upon returning from Italy, when the girl was kicked out of her house by her 
well-to-do father, after being caught sneaking a boy into her bedroom.  I 
strongly suspect from some things Zayda and Xiomara have said that her father 
had been molesting her from the time her mother died when she was 12 and that he 
acted more out of jealousy than outrage over his daughter's misbehavior.   

Xiomara had left Zayda with the elderly Italian couple from the restaurant, but 
there was no way in hell they could control the girl.  It seems that as soon as 
Xiomara left to come here last year, the girl went wild – dropping out of school 
and getting herself knocked up.  So Xiomara flew back home earlier this year, 
got Zayda an abortion and brought her back here to finish school in the nocturno 
(night school).   But the silly fool took advantage of the fact that Xiomara was 
busy all the time and the excuse that she was supposed to go to school in the 
evenings to fall into the company of another woman from back home who got her 
into prostitution. 

This other woman is a rather stuck up and pretentious bitch from another well 
off family, who is now working here as a high class prostitute after her 
family's business also tanked along with the rest of the Nicaraguan economy.  
While it was clear to me that Xiomara never really liked her much, she did 
tolerate this other woman under the theory that people from the same place 
should try to stick together when far from home.  But she certainly didn't want 
Zayda hanging around her and told the girl as much.

As I understand it, Zayda had snuck out with the woman to see Titanic for the 
umpteenth time as one of the cinemas here brought it back.  Zayda looks a lot 
like a slightly darker version of Kate Winslet and identified with the actress.  
Coming out of the cinema, they ran into a regular client of the woman's and a 
friend, who took them out to dinner at a fancy restaurant and back to their 
hotel.  The friend gave Zayda a generous $200 and she promptly romanticized the 
whole thing skipped school the entire following week to be with him for the rest 
of his business trip.  After that, I guess she started begging the other woman 
to take her to the Casablanca (a pick-up bar for foreigners) so she could meet 
other similar men.  The other women agreed figuring she could make some money of 
this eager young girl and helped her get a fake ID.
 
I got involved when Xiomara and I met to go to a movie and she promptly told me 
there was a change in plans.  Someone had gotten word to her about what was 
going on and she dragged me along to look for Zayda at the Casablanca.  Sure 
enough, there she was, and to make matters worse, Xiomara caught her in the 
women's room in the act of snorting up a line she had been given by their 
compatriot. We got Zayda out of there fast (to the protests of an angry Texan 
she was in the process of picking up, who quieted up real fast when I told him 
her real age).  Fortunately Zayda had only been at it for a couple of weeks so 
hopefully we got her out in time.  
 
Unfortunately, we ran into the other Nicaraguan woman a few days later as we 
were about to enter a dance club.  Xiomara completely lost it when the stupid 
whore made the mistake of taunting her.  2 or 3 quick moves later and Xiomara 
had the other woman face down on the ground in an arm lock, with her knee 
pressing into her lower back, while telling her in the coldest tone of voice 
I've ever heard, "If I so much as ever see you again, you will not survive."  It 
took Beatriz and I working together to finally pull Xiomara away from the other 
woman, but only after she got in one last lick by stepping on the back of the 
other woman's hand with one of her spike heels.  No real damage was done as 
Xiomara seemed to know exactly how far she wanted to go, but sure scared the 
hell out of the other woman.  After seeing Xiomara fight, I certainly wouldn't 
want to have it out with her and it kind of scared me as well.

What was particularly surprising is that Xiomara normally comes across as quite 
level-headed.  But I do know she feels a particular affinity for Zayda, dislikes 
prostitution, and really hates drugs.  Xiomara ended up flying Zayda back to 
Managua, but not before getting into a huge fight and slapping her when the girl 
admitted that she had not used a condom with her first client because he was so 
"nice".  I guess that was the last straw as safe sex is another one of her pet 
causes ever since she had a real bad scare in Italy and she had certainly 
lectured Zayda often enough about it.

One thing that was strange about the entire incident is that Zayda obviously 
worships Xiomara and it doesn't make sense she would do something so much 
against the older women's wishes.  The girl even keeps as a prize possession an 
old scrapbook with newspaper cutouts from Xiomara's dancing days that she 
rescued when Xiomara was going to throw it out back in Managua.  Maybe Zayda's 
acting up was just a bid for attention after feeling abandoned, first by her 
real mother when she died, and then by her substitute adopted mother/elder 
sister when Xiomara left Nicaragua.  

It's clear that Xiomara feels a lot of guilt about the whole thing, particularly 
as she now realizes that she may have overlooked some hints that there might be 
a problem.  First came an incident that happened right after Zayda got here when 
they had dropped by the Casablanca with the Italian to look for some of his 
friends.  Though Zayda stayed outside because she's underage, she did watch 
through the window and expressed wide-eyed interest in the goings-on, Xiomara 
then sarcastically told her that since in Nicaragua she had started sleeping 
around with everyone for free she might as well try it for money; never 
imagining that the silly girl would take it literally.

The other bit of warning came about because of Xiomara's neighbors; a youngish 
looking Belgian widow in her mid to late 30's and her 15 year old daughter.  I 
was certainly surprised to find out that this pretty but rather conventional 
looking and cultured former upper class housewife was providing escort services 
once or twice a month to older wealthier tourists and a few businessmen.  It's 
all arranged over the internet and she tends to spend anywhere from 2 days to a 
week with each client, serving as combination companion, hostess, tour guide and 
often, bedmate (for an extra fee).  She fell into it almost accidently when her 
husband (a local guy) left her with a bankrupt company and a lot of debt.  

As Xiomara explained it to me, the widow's new career started when a foreign guy 
who had done business with her husband contacted her because he needed to host a 
series of social events here in town and thought she made a great hostess.  She 
ended up falling into bed with the guy on her own accord, but when he went to 
pay her, he added a big tip for the "extra" services.  He then recommended her 
to someone else and suddenly she had found a niche in the market that wasn't 
being filled by the traditional escort agencies with all their young beauties.  

Xiomara says the widow was kind of resigned and down about the whole thing at 
first.  But one time she came over all excited and cheerfully went into great 
detail about her latest client.  The guy had flown her around the country with 
him in a chartered plane to see the sights and had given her a $5000 tip on top 
of her regular fee.  The tip alone was enough to cover her daughter's tuition 
for an entire semester at (an American School) – this from just four days worth 
of work.  I guess Zayda was in the other room and overheard the whole thing 
because Xiomara says that afterwards she was very curious about their neighbor's 
activities.

The Belgian woman had a fit when it turned out that Zayda had been confiding in 
her daughter all along and was now claiming that after she raved about her first 
night at the Casablanca, the other girl had asked Zayda to get her a fake ID so 
that she could see what it was all about.  It didn't help when I reported on 
hearing this, that one time when I stopped by to drop off a book, I found both 
girls wearing what only could be described as outrageous outfits and makeup, 
while Zayda taught her new friend how to walk in very high heels (I actually 
didn't recognize the Belgian girl at fist because she usually looks kind of 
girlish).  As they didn't seem at all nervous about being discovered, I didn't 
think anything of it at the time.  In any case, I didn't have a chance to say 
anything because I was heading off on a business trip and didn't see Xiomara 
again until it was too late.  But you should have seen the look of panic on the 
Belgian woman's face when I brought up the incident the morning after we pulled 
Zayda out of the Casanova.

Fortunately, the Belgian girl, though a year younger than Zayda, seems a lot 
more level headed and mature (pretty amazing considering), as well as a good 
student who is very serious about making it to college.  So I think once people 
calmed down, they tended to believe her when she explained that she actually 
tried to talk Zayda out of it, but didn't tell on her because Zayda threatened 
to reveal that she had been steeling her mother's cigarettes.  Her credibility 
was helped by the fact that she had started dropping hints to her mother that 
something was up with Zayda, but had been ignored.

Needless to say, all this created a great deal of tension between Xiomara and 
her neighbor, only exacerbated by Xiomara's insistence that what she's doing 
with the Italian is totally different than what the other woman is doing.  
Fortunately, the last time I went over there, I found the two talking to each 
other like nothing had happened.

What I've written about Zayda makes her sound like an obnoxious rebellious 
teenager, which is not completely accurate.  In fact, she came across as being 
generally good natured, but rather silly, immature, naïve, and not too smart; 
just basically screwed up and badly in need of counseling.  Unfortunately, that 
kind of counseling is not readily available in Nicaragua as sexual abuse of 
children is only now becoming a recognized issue (what with Ortega's daughter 
accusing him of raping her when she was in her early teens).  I did mention to 
Xiomara that she might consider bringing Zayda back here where she could get the 
kind of counseling she needs, but it sounds like things are still too hot 
between the two of them for that to happen anytime soon.

A few days after the incident in front of the dance club, once things had cooled 
down a bit, I had a long talk with Xiomara about the danger of what she had done 
both because she didn't know what kind of 'friends' the other woman might have; 
as well as the fact that she was in a foreign country and no longer under the 
protection of her former lover, the Comandante.  At Ziomara's initial stubborn 
refusal to accept that she had done anything wrong, I got kind of angry and told 
her, "Don't count on me if you start something like that again because unlike 
you, I neither have militia or martial arts training nor have I learned how to 
handle these situations in the bed of the former Chief of Police of a repressive 
– Sorry, I mean 'revolutionary' - regime."

I think Xiomara regrets losing her temper and attacking the other women, but I 
still see her get very angry sometimes when she feels that her friends or family 
are being put down or betrayed. Don't get me wrong though, unlike my ex, she 
doesn't get angry at little inconveniences, and she just laughs off slights from 
strangers or people she doesn't care about. I think she developed a pretty thick 
skin during those years with the Comandante when it comes to herself.  But 
Xiomara does feel extremely protective about those she considers, "hers".

In fact, one of her problems is that she seems to feel the need sacrifice 
herself for people she considers family.  Given her mother's condition and the 
general lack of economic opportunities back home, she sees herself as inheriting 
the role of matriarchal leader who is responsible for supporting any other women 
in her family (or close friends) who has been done wrong by men (ie. about all 
of them).  I keep telling her that she needs to think about herself and her own 
future at least a little bit, as it sounds like she's supporting half of Managua 
and is at the same time creating a dependency on her that traps her into her own 
current financial dependency on the Italian.

Despite all the problems and crisis I've mentioned, Xiomara tends to be 
surprisingly upbeat most of the time.  She's always looking to me for advice and 
to be honest, I'm often not sure what to say.  Also, I feel guilty because from 
my point of view it's like having a real live telenovela around to keep my mind 
off my own problems.  But it seems like she doesn't want much from me except 
company (and an occasional friendly bout of sex), so I guess I shouldn't worry.  
It helps that she's also a good listener.  Though I admire her, I don't think I 
could ever fall in love with her.  Fortunately, she shows every indication of 
wanting to keep our relationship exactly the way it is.  She says that if she 
let herself fall in love with me, I could no longer be her confident.  This 
concept of hers that sex and friendship can go together but that love and 
friendship cannot seems pretty strange to me, but is rather convenient.

In any case, she's certainly backing up what she's saying with her actions by 
hooking me up with, of all people, her best friend Beatriz.  

Beatriz is divorced from an abusive wealthy Dutch guy who left her behind when 
he fled the country a couple of years ago after a messy land speculation deal. 
It seems he swept her off her feet and took her home to Holland when she was 
only 17 and pregnant by her first boyfriend, who had promptly dumped her. 
Fortunately for her, the Dutch guy left behind several assets including an 
estate in (a wealthy neighborhood) which ended up not getting confiscated in the 
aftermath of the busted land deal. She was able to sell the property and is 
basically living off the interest. She is also running a small art gallery in 
town of which she is part owner, though I doubt she gets much income from that.  
 
Beatriz is absolutely gorgeous at about 5'4 with olive Mediterranean colored 
skin, a round face with big dark eyes, and plush very kissable lips, both of 
which she manages to emphasize quite effectively with make-up.  Yes, I know.  
I've always agreed with you that when in comes to make-up, less is more.  Even 
the impeccably groomed Xiomara tends to live by this rule (though in her case, 
it would be: 'less obvious is more' since she sure takes her time about getting 
ready to go out – even if I can't tell what the hell she's done). But Beatriz is 
a walking advertisement for the wonders of heavy mascara, eye-liner and glossy 
red lipstick. She was clearly genetically blessed as she also has the body of a 
1950's centerfold and you can barely tell that she's had two kids.


((NOTE:  If you want to know what Beatriz looked like, google Cristina Kirchner, 
the current president of Argentina, then take off 25 years and triple the 
sexuality.  But there is remarkable resemblance.))


Besides her great looks, Beatriz is also a very nice person.  Of course she 
isn't perfect.  For one, she is not even close to being as sharp or intellectual 
as Xiomara.  More importantly, she does have her own sordid past because of some 
of the things the Dutch guy got her to do in Amsterdam strictly for his 
amusement (the guy sounds like a total monster).  And then finally, there is the 
fact that will probably make you fall right out of your chair when you read it:  
Beatirz smokes.  Yes, the guy who made your life miserable back in High School 
is now actually dating a smoker.  But I have to admit, it isn't as bad as a I 
thought it would be.  She's not a heavy smoker (never in her house with her 
kids), and somehow it just seems natural with her.  Maybe its also that I've 
gotten used to it a little with Xiomara, who is one of these people who's 
constantly insisting she quit, but ends up bumming cigs off her friends when she 
just can't resist the temptation.
 
Xiomara's smoking does seem a bit more incongruous to me because she's a bit of 
a health nut.  She never misses a day at the gym, unless it's to go to her 
martial arts classes, and is always lecturing the rest of us on the need to have 
a healthy diet.  At first I thought it might be something she picked up when 
young and stupid like most smokers do (sound familiar Chicho?), but she recently 
told me she only smoked her first cigarette last year when the Italian pressured 
her into at least "trying" it after he got fed up with her hassling him over his 
own habit.  It turned out that she actually liked the damn things.

In any case, I've already been on several solo dates with Beatriz beginning in 
early June and she sure surprised me the first time by asking me straight out to 
take her to my place, though she did rush home relatively quickly.  Beatriz is a 
lot of fun and certainly enjoys herself, but her two kids come first at all 
times and she makes a point of always being there when they wake up in the 
morning.  She's definitely scared of commitment and, not surprisingly, seems to 
have a strong desire never to be dependent on a man again, so I don't know if 
much will come out of our dating.

Now you'd think that my dating Beatriz would make it awkward when I'm doing 
things with them both, but it hasn't turned out that way at all.  

In late June I even took a trip to (the beach) with the self-described "Las Tres 
Mosqueteras" (Xiomara, Beatriz and their friend Sandra – and its just so 
typically Xiomara to pick a masculine warrior name instead of something more 
feminine that I had to laugh when I first heard them use it). 

It was certainly an experience being the only guy among a group of really hot 
women.  Now while this may sound like the ultimate male fantasy, the reality was 
a bit different.  All three of them are going through one kind of crisis or 
another so it became rather intense.  Unfortunately it turned out to be a lot 
more like group therapy than group sex, but I can't complain too much as we did 
have at least a little fun, if you know what I mean.  But mostly I gave them 
plenty of time for girl talk and actually finished a really good novel while I 
was down there.  I certainly needed a relaxing break from work, so all in all 
I'm glad I went along.

The beach trip was originally conceived a couple of months ago as a celebration 
of the good results after Xiomara had dragged the other two down to take the HIV 
test (about which both were incredibly nervous).  The trip was then postponed to 
coincide with both Xiomara's and Beatriz's birthdays (29th and 27th 
respectively) which coincidently are only 2 days apart.  

I was actually kind of surprised to be invited along as I had assumed it would 
be an all-girls outing.  The reasons behind my invitation became quickly 
apparent when I realized that Xiomara and Beatriz were basically using me so as 
not to be hit on by every guy in sight.  In fact, one of the fun parts was that 
they both intentionally showed me a lot of affection in public (extremely out of 
character for Xiomara), which drove people crazy trying to figure out which one 
I was with.  It certainly did no harm to my ego.

It was also a chance to get to know Sandra a little bit.  I had met her and 
certainly heard a lot about her from the other two, but had never spent much 
time around her.  It turns out that Sandra had a somewhat successful career as a 
professional dancer and is now in Grad School with Xiomara.  She's a tiny little 
woman with the body of a ballet dancer (which is to say, not many curves), but 
does have this cute pixie thing going for her.  Though she is a little older 
than her two fiends (maybe 31 or 32), she's by far the least experienced having 
been only with her husband since they started dating in High School; up until 
recently anyway.  She is now in the process of getting a divorce because her 
husband turned out to be gay.  She only found this out when Xiomara started 
suspecting something after Sandra admitted that he hadn't really made love to 
her in years.  One evening a few months ago Xiomara used her extensive contacts 
to track the guy down in a gay club, and found him making out with another guy.  
So that was that.
 
Sandra's problem is economic as her husband works as a lowly accountant by day 
and is an actor in one of the local theatres at night; neither of which bring in 
much income. So though Sandra's keeping their small house, she can't expect any 
alimony. 


((NOTE: Sandra's ex actually co-starred with my wife Liliana in a comedy several 
years later and turned out to be a really nice guy.  He just got caught living 
in a society where he couldn't come out of the closet, and Sandra suffered the 
consequences.  But things are changing here and now he's quite open about his 
sexual preferences without really getting hassled about it.)). 


Even then, we were quite stunned at the beach when Sandra announced that she was 
seriously considering picking up guys for money at one of the bars downtown.  
She's become quite the little slut since breaking up with her husband – making 
up for lost time I guess - and started figuring that she might as well charge 
money for it.
 
Sandra was actively discouraged by the rest of us, with Beatriz going into 
gruesome detail on some of her worst experiences in Amsterdam . Hearing 
Beatriz's stories made me want to puke and Xiomara was shocked speechless.  It 
certainly had the right effect on Sandra.  

Actually, a few days ago Beatriz admitted to me that she had greatly exaggerated 
and emphasized the bad things to discourage Sandra, more because she felt that 
her friend would not be able to handle being in that business than because of 
any objections in principal to prostitution.  She pointed out that Sandra is not 
young or physically attractive enough to be very successful at the highest 
levels and has no street smarts or money sense.  She would inevitably get 
herself into trouble.  
 
Beatriz went on to admit that at the beginning she went along willingly with her 
husband as it was not very frequent.  She was so young and had gotten bored and 
frustrated during the pregnancy and later being shut up in a house in a strange 
country taking care of a small baby.  It was a way of doing something exciting 
that made her feel sexy again; as well as to please the guy she was dependent 
on.  Besides, in exchange, he finally agreed to pay for her to go to art school.  
It was only later that he started pushing her more and more until he finally 
actually arranged for her to stay in a bordello for a week while he went on a 
business trip.  
 
That woke her up fast enough and she grabbed her kid and ran home.  He soon 
followed her back here begging for her forgiveness; and in fact he did improve 
quite a bit in his treatment of her at first, particularly when she got pregnant 
with his son.  But he also started getting heavily into drugs as his business 
problems increased and then by the end he had actually started hitting her.  
Finally she fled to her mother's house in (a provincial town) until her husband 
went back to Holland .  Even worse, she confirmed something I thought I had 
overheard in a discussion between Xiomara and her.  She admitted that she had 
worked as a whore for a time after returning to (the capital) once her husband 
had fled.  She explained that she had done it mainly for the money, as it took 
some time to clear up the legal situation with her husband's assets, but also 
just to have sex with guys who she wouldn't have to deal with afterwards.  
 
Beatriz does joke that she made a pretty lousy prostitute as she kept turning 
guys down if she didn't find them attractive.  Otherwise, she found the local 
scene to be pretty tame compared to some of the stuff she had seen in Holland 
and insisted it wasn't all that bad.  

There's an interesting contrast between Xiomara and Beatriz on the subject of 
prostitution, something that came up once again when the three of us met for 
lunch earlier this week.  The former abhors the very concept and 
intellectualizes that it's the ultimate exploitation of women. (for all that 
some of her best friends have been or are prostitutes of one sort or another).  
She sees it as this big trap that once you fall into soils you for life.  
Perhaps this comes from the fact that she's been so close to falling into it 
herself.  Beatriz, for all that she blushes so charmingly when she talks about 
the subject, has a much more practical point of view.  She'd rather not, but if 
she needs the money and cute guys are willing to pay her under her terms, then 
what's the problem?  She's certainly seen and done much worse and clearly can 
take it or leave it as she wishes.  As for Xiomara's intellectual arguments, 
that's just so much BLA-BLA-BLA to her.  As Beatriz argued back, "How can I be 
the one who's being exploited if I'm the one in charge?  The one who decides 
what, when, with whom and for how much?  Exploited is having a husband who 
forces you to fuck strangers in front of a crowd when you don't want to."

This has all been somewhat eye-opening for me as I'd never really thought much 
about the subject before.  If you'd asked, I would have probably given you the 
usual American view of prostitutes as dirty slimy junkie streetwalkers getting 
beat up by their pimps.  Clearly the situation is very different here where it's 
a legal (albeit less than reputable) profession.  Certainly I have trouble 
reconciling Beatriz or the Belgian woman for that matter, with anyone's image of 
the downtrodden prostitute.  Perhaps they've had some bad luck and made a poor 
choice of husbands, but they've both certainly made the best of circumstances 
and on their own terms.  Yeah, I know what Katia would say – that they are all 
victims of a patriarchal society, etc, etc. etc.  But as you well know, there 
are certain realities in this part of the world and people just have to get by 
while trying to hold on to their values the best they can (and BTW, I still 
can't get over the fact that you of all people are engaged to a Green Party 
radical feminist.  (WTF???)  After that lecture she gave us in that beer hall a 
couple of years ago I was surprised enough to hear you were still dating each 
other, let alone living together and getting married.  But don't get me wrong, I 
totally approve – probably exactly what you both needed.)

In any case, its certainly true that despite all of her experiences, Beatriz 
definitely still does very much enjoy sex, as long as she picks the person and 
the time.  But still, it sounds pretty screwed up, right?  The funny thing 
though is that Beatriz now comes across as relatively level-headed and 
emotionally stable.  Maybe it's because she does have a good support structure 
in her friends and her mother, who she finally brought to the city to live with 
her once she settled things.  Though Beatriz comes from a more working class 
background than the rest, her mother sounds like by far the most progressive and 
positively supportive parent of the bunch and Xiomara thinks this is what really 
settled Beatriz down. There's also the fact that she is so dedicated to her 
kids.

I can tell you though, that after talking to these three women, it can sure make 
you pretty disgusted with a lot of men and I start understanding where Katia is 
coming from. I have to admit that some of their stories sounded so incredible 
that I was pretty skeptical at first, but the problem is that I keep getting 
little bits of confirmation when talking to the women separately.  For instance 
almost all the main points in Xiomara's story were repeated to me in 
conversations with Zayda who was in a position to know.

I guess this e-mail has gone on long enough by now and it's already Sunday 
afternoon as I finish this up.  I spent most of the weekend on this damn thing.  
You probably didn't expect to receive this "novel" when you asked for more 
details, did you?  Obviously I find Xiomara and her friends to be quite 
interesting and ended up using this letter as a way of getting down their 
stories and organizing my own impressions.

PART 3: SOME FUN AT THE BEACH

Of course some pretty interesting stuff did happen on that beach trip that I 
didn't write Chicho about.

Xiomara had reserved a bungalow with two double-beds in the bedroom, which was 
shared by the women, and a sofa-bed in the living room, which I took.  We also 
shared the cost of the room 3 ways (with me paying what was originally to have 
been Sandra's share since she clearly couldn't afford it).  They took turns 
preparing meals to save money and were surprised when I insisted on being 
included in the rotation.  Not that I actually cooked anything, as instead I 
used my "turns" as an excuse to take them all out to eat.  They certainly didn't 
complain about that.

I was surprised at first about the way Xiomara and Beatriz would make a point of 
each taking one of my arms as I escorted them in and out of restaurants and 
bars, until I figured out why they were doing that.  Then I worried that Sandra 
would start feeling left out, until it became apparent that she very much wanted 
to get hit on (and in fact let herself get picked up a couple of times).

We were at the beach for something like 5 nights, and there really was no sex 
during most of that period.  They teased me often enough and some pretty risqué 
sexual jokes flew back and forth at times, but I knew both Xiomara and Beatriz 
well enough by then to realize that they weren't really serious.  I think that 
at least initially there was an unstated recognition that it would have been too 
awkward had one of them decided to take me off into the bedroom.

The first exception occurred one day when we hiked down the coast and found a 
little cove with no other people around.  The 3 women promptly stripped off 
their bikini tops and made a huge production of applying sun tan lotion to their 
breasts.  I did get some great photos of the three of them playing topless in 
the waves, though unfortunately Liliana later threw them out when she found them 
shortly after moving in with me.

Inevitably I got hard, and they had a wonderful time teasing me about the bulge 
in my swimming suit.  But it did come as a big surprise when I woke up after 
dozing off following our picnic lunch to suddenly find Xiomara and Beatriz 
pressed up against me, one on each side, while they lightly ran their fingers 
through my chest hair.  After laughing at my startled expression, they started 
commenting to each other about how it really wasn't fair the way they had been 
teasing me without giving me any relief.  Of course, feeling their naked breasts 
up against my side and having them touch me was worse than any previous teasing 
they had put me through.

Then to my surprise, Xiomara reached down and handled my cock through my bathing 
suit, while noting, "It really is big and hard now."

Beatriz followed her lead and ran one of her long red fingernails up the other 
side of my cock, while agreeing with her friend.

By this point, I was about to come right there in my trunks, but they seemed to 
realize this and stopped stroking my cock.  As I moaned in protest, Xiomara 
noted, "Bea, I think we've really have been unfair to poor Roberto, don't you 
think?"  When Beatriz simply nodded in agreement, Xiomara continued by asking 
me, "Rob, do you have a coin?"

"What…?"  I couldn't figure out what she wanted a coin for, but I nodded towards 
my backpack.  The two women then proceeded to flip for the right to give me some 
relief.  Beatriz won the coin toss and the next thing I knew, she was leading me 
off behind some bushes.  She promptly got down on her knees, pulled down my 
trunks and gobbled me up.  I have to admit that I didn't last too long, not 
surprising given the state I was in.  But it was great the way she took my first 
spurt in her mouth and then had me cover her tits in my cum.  

When we walked back to join the others, I was kind of worried about Xiomara's 
reaction.  But as we stood above them I could see that she seemed to think the 
whole thing was funny.  This was confirmed when Beatriz then ran a finger up the 
top of one breast gathering up my cum and tasted it, while noting teasingly, 
"Que rico!" (how delicious).  Xiomara promptly jumped up and chased her as they 
both ran laughing into the waves.

The blowjob had been pretty nice, but there was still more to come.  A while 
later, Bea and I started feeling the effects of the sun and moved our towels 
over to sit by Sandra (who always stayed in the shade because her lily white 
skin tended to burn too easily).  Sandra started tentatively asking Beatriz some 
questions about what she had done for me.  It turned out that our smaller friend 
had never really given a blow job, afraid that she would choke if she took a 
cock all the way.  And admittedly her mouth was really small, so I could see 
where she was coming from.

Beatriz thought that was a real pity and tried to describe methods Sandra could 
use to control things.  The next thing I knew, without so much as asking my 
permission, Bea pulled down my trunks and started to give our friend a practical 
demonstration.  Not that I was complaining too much, particularly when Sandra 
moved over and started following her more experienced friends instructions.  Now 
they weren't really trying to make it particularly good for me.  I just had a 
handy instrument that they could practice on, with the advantage according to 
Bea that if Sandra could learn to handle mine, she would have little trouble 
with most others.  Now my cock isn't really much longer than average, but it is 
rather thick, so I guess she had a point.  In any case, I was hardly complaining 
and fortunately Sandra was a quick learner.  

Once she gained confidence that she could control how far I penetrated into her 
mouth by holding my cock with her hand, she decided she wanted to see if she 
could swallow a load of cum.  So it was at that point that she really went to 
work focusing much more on my pleasure.  Well, it certainly worked as I 
eventually ejaculated my second load of cum of the afternoon into the mouth of a 
second Mosquetera.  Sandra wasn't able to take it all on that first try, but she 
did make a valiant effort to take some of it down and was quite proud of 
herself.  For my part, the image of my thick cock next to her cute little pixie 
face became a recurring part of my masturbatory fantasies for awhile.

But that was to be the first and last time I ever had any real sexual contact 
with Sandra, which was probably for the better as I already had by hands full 
with the other two.

After that little day trip, I kind of figured that was about as far as things 
would go sexually, especially since none of the women made a move towards doing 
something with me that night.  Of course, it turned out I was wrong.

The last day of our vacation was quite eventful as the Mosketeras got identical 
smallish tattoos of three crossed swords and a red rose on the outside of their 
upper thighs (in a location where it would not be visible except when wearing 
the shortest of skirts or a bikini).  Beatriz had sketched out the design over 
the previous few days and I was completely ignored when I pointed out that she 
had drawn broadswords, and not the kind used by the three musketeers.  

Only Beatriz had a previous tattoo, a nicely done not too large flowery design 
on her lower back which she got in Holland.  But they were beginning to come 
into fashion over here at the time, along with belly button rings (Beatriz 
already had one of those as well) and the other two allowed themselves to be 
talked into getting this symbol of their friendship.  Where Xiomara and Sandra 
did hold the line was on getting the tattoo on the back of a shoulder where it 
would be more visible.  Now I wasn't so sure the tattoos were such a great idea.  
But no one was asking my opinion.  It was clearly some kind of feminine bonding 
thing and I quickly decided it was better to keep my mouth shut.  At least the 
tattoo artist did a pretty nice job.  Certainly the women were excited enough, 
and properly primed for a fun evening.  

That night we ended up dancing on the beach to a live reggae/socca band that had 
set up in a large thatched hut.  Up until this point on our vacation, the women 
had tended to be rather careful about not drinking too much, but since it was 
the last night, they completely let go.  Sandra even came up with a couple of 
joints that she had procured somewhere, which she proceeded to share with 
Xiomara later on in the evening when we were resting by a bonfire someone had 
lit on the beach.  Xiomara's strong opposition to hard drugs didn't extend to 
very occasionally indulging in pot.  For my part, I had never really liked pot 
much when I tried it in college (more out of a rebellion against my super 
straight strict catholic future wife, then because I had really wanted to).  So 
I was happy to keep Beatriz company in abstaining.  Besides, I was driving and 
had limited myself to alternating beers and cokes all evening.

Things really started getting interesting when Sandra got around to her second 
joint.  After Xiomara waved it off, she immediately crossed over to the other 
side of the bonfire to sit with two young university students she had been 
flirting and dancing with all evening.  Once she had shared it with them, we 
overheard her ask through a sudden break in the music, "Quieren cogerme?" (Do 
you want to fuck me?)

The two boys looked surprised at being asked so directly, but seemed to have no 
problems with the idea, only asking, "Where?"

Sandra motioned into the darkness down the beach and soon the trio was on there 
feet rather unsteadily moving away from us.  They actually looked kind of funny, 
tiny little Sandra sandwiched between two well built young guys, either one of 
whom probably weighed twice as much as she did.

But given how blasted Sandra was, I wondered if Xiomara would interfere and was 
kind of relieved when she called out, "San"  But all she did was toss her one of 
our towels and the beach bag the three women had brought between them to hold 
their cigarettes, make-up and such.  When I gave her a questioning look, she 
explained, "Condoms."

I had to ask, "Are you sure she'll be fine?  She seems pretty drunk".

Xiomara smiled in response before explaining, "You worried that those boys might 
take advantage of her?  I think that's exactly what she wants.  Besides, would 
you stop a friend of yours from helping himself to two sexy willing 20 year old 
girls?"

Well, when she put it that way...  

Xiomara continued, "Sandra is just making up for 10 years of drought."

It was at this point that Beatriz returned from having danced with someone and 
started looking around for her cigs.  When Xiomara explained why Sandra had 
walked off with them, Beatriz looked rather envious.

The three of us ended up lying back and looking up at the stars while we waited 
for our friend to return with her boy toys.  Soon I had both women scrunched up 
against me with their heads on my shoulders.  I was already turned on having 
watched them dance all evening wearing only their bikini tops and short wrap-
around skirts, and I'm afraid my shorts started bulging again.  This didn't go 
unnoticed, but this time when they didn't comment on it directly.

Beatriz finally noted out loud, "Lucky Sandra."

Xiomara sighed and responded, "I know what you mean"

Beatriz continued, "I could really use a man right now."

There was a long pause during which I considered whether I should point out the 
obvious.  Fortunately I didn't have to as Beatriz spoke up rather tentatively, 
"Well we do have a perfectly serviceable man right here…"

Xiomara responded carefully, "It's not like we both haven't been with him 
before.  But there are two of us…"

As they both fell silent, I decided to say nothing.  My best shot was clearly to 
let them talk themselves into something.  But nothing more was said at the time, 
though both women did scrunch up even closer to me.

Soon enough, Sandra came stumbling back propped up between her two boys, looking 
very drunk but also quite satisfied.  They dropped her off and quickly excused 
themselves acting somewhat embarrassed.  Noticing that we were all staring at 
her in curiosity, Sandra simply shrugged and noted, "I really need a cigarette.  
Where are they?"

Beatriz answered sounding a bit peeved, "You walked off with them."

"Oh right."  She then pulled out a cigarette and lit up before tossing the pack 
to Beatriz.  Watching her inhale deeply, it was clear that sex wasn't the only 
thing Sandra had taken to lately.  She had only started smoking occasionally a 
few weeks earlier, but had gone full out during this vacation, preferring to 
ignore Xiomara's repeated warnings about how easy it was to get hooked.  Of 
course our Nicaraguan friend's message was somewhat weakened by the fact that 
she was also constantly bumming cigarettes off of Beatriz (and sure enough, 
after that beach trip Xiomara gave up any pretentions of trying to quit and went 
back to buying her own cigarettes.  Perhaps it was never a realistic goal anyway 
as long as she was with the Italian.  They soon even had me lighting up 
occasionally, though fortunately I never became more than a social smoker).

We left shortly after Sandra's return, and she was soon snoring away during the 
short drive back to our hotel.  We had trouble getting her into the room, where 
she promptly collapsed on my bed by the entrance.  I was standing there trying 
to figure out what to do while the other two women rushed into the bathroom.  
Then Sandra rolled over on to her back and her skirt fell open giving me a 
perfect view of her closely trimmed pussy.  She'd obviously lost her bikini 
bottom or panties somewhere along the way.  It was immediately apparent that 
Sandra hadn't gotten around to using the condoms, as her crotch and upper thighs 
were covered in cum.  I could see some still leaking out of her pussy, and 
immediately started getting hard again, almost despite myself.  It really was 
like something straight out of porno movie.  Sandra might not have had much in 
the way of breasts or hips, but her pussy looked incredibly beautiful and I 
stated musing that if there was such a thing as a pussy model, she could make a 
bundle.

It was at that point that Xiomara came back in the room and caught me staring at 
her friend.  She teased, "pervertido" (pervert).  

I tried to cover for myself by noting, "I don't think she used protection.  
Maybe you should have been more concerned about her."

Xiomara looked closely and after cursing, went on to note quite seriously.  
"I'll definitely need to have a talk with our Sandrita in the morning.  And to 
think how much she agonized over those blood tests.  At least she took my advice 
and went on the pill."

Beatriz came back in and after noticing what we were staring at, quickly moved 
to cover up Sandra with a sheet, blushing charmingly in that way she had in 
these types of situations.  Of course that didn't keep her from teasing, "I 
don't think we will be moving her anytime soon.  Too bad.  I guess Rob will just 
have to share a bed with one of us.  But which one of us?"

I of course was not about to point out that the obvious solution was for the two 
of them to share a bed and instead quipped, "You could always toss a coin 
again."

Xiomara just gave me a knowing look and then pushed me towards the bathroom 
while responding, "We'll figure something out."

When I came out of the bathroom I could hear the two women whispering to each 
other in the living area, so I turned off the overhead light, leaving just the 
bedside lamp on and plopped down on one of the beds.  I had decided to leave on 
my boxers so as not to seem too presumptuous.

I must have dozed off a bit, because the next thing I knew, a naked Beatriz was 
climbing into bed with me.  I started to mumble something about it being her 
lucky week, but was interrupted by a naked Xiomara kneeling on the bed on my 
other side.

When I looked over at her, I saw that she was holding a box of condoms and as I 
reached for her, she waved me away and announced the "rules" for our upcoming 
encounter.  I was way too excited by then at the prospect of fulfilling one of 
my top fantasies to pay much attention, which actually was probably for the 
better since the whole thing started out just as I might have imagined and I 
could let myself go without thinking about some of the limitations Xiomara had 
come up with.

To be honest, I can't remember all the details of everything we did that night, 
but I know that they started by kissing me all over.  Beatriz began with my 
feet, while Xiomara started kissing my face and neck.  They both moved gradually 
towards the middle, leaving a trail of red lipstick marks in their wakes, and by 
the time they got to my cock I was pretty much ready to explode.  Fortunately, 
Xiomara used her trick of squeezing my cock in a certain way to keep me from 
coming too soon.

While they had been working on me, I had been lightly stroking Xiomara, since 
she was the one within reach.  I first concentrated on her breasts, before 
eventually moving down between her legs until she was quite juicy.  But when I 
tried to pull her over so that she could straddle my head, she moved away and 
the women switched places.  Suddenly I had an already aroused Xiomara settling 
on to my cock, while Beatriz's shaved pussy descended towards my hungry mouth.

I remember thinking rather vaguely that I was kind of glad they switched, since 
Xiomara only trimmed her bush enough to fit into her bathing suit.  Her Italian 
actually preferred some hair down there.  Personally, I'd rather not have a 
mouth full of hair.  What is it about these Italian guys anyway?  

Of course, they didn't arrange things this way just to please me.  I had already 
learned that while Beatriz could come rather easily when being eaten out, she 
had a much harder time during regular intercourse.  On the other hand, of all 
the women I've ever been with, no one could match the speed with which Xiomara 
could come from straight out fucking, particularly in the cowgirl or missionary 
positions (she didn't like the doggy position – probably too submissive for her 
tastes).  As a result, the first round was a complete success, with everyone 
getting off rather handedly within seconds of each other (Beatriz, Xiomara and 
me, in that order if I remember properly).

Now if this had been my fantasy threesome, we would have spent the rest of the 
night in various wonderful combinations, including the one that always got me 
off when masturbating (one girl lying atop the other with me thrusting back and 
forth between their pussies).

But of course reality did set in.  For one, I was no longer 18 and could not 
just recover my hard on instantaneously.  Now this would have been OK if the 
women had been willing to entertain each other while I recharged my batteries.  
But neither one was bisexual and they almost went out of their way not to touch 
each other even by accident (which I should have expected since lesbian sex 
seems much more of a taboo in Latin America than in the US).  And finally, there 
were those pesky rules that I had not really paid attention to.  It turned out 
that they were really serious about the fact that I couldn't go from one to the 
other without changing condoms.

At least we did manage a second round in which I first fucked Xiomara in the 
missionary position until she came, and then mounted Beatriz from behind until I 
came.  The encounter finished with me eating out Beatriz until she finally had 
her second orgasm (which turned out to be one of the few times she had ever come 
more than once in a night). 

All in all, it was a pretty great experience even if it didn't go exactly the 
way I had imagined it might.  At least this way, it left part of my fantasy 
alive to be fulfilled in the future.  I remember thinking at the time that maybe 
someday I'd get two women into bed with me who were also into each other and in 
a situation where we didn't have to worry about safe sex.  

It is worth noting that once we were done, Xiomara moved to the other bed, 
leaving Beatriz to spend the night in my arms.  Furthermore, on the drive back 
to the airport the next day, Xiomara made a point of giving Beatriz the copilot 
chair, which had been hers during the entire vacation.  I didn't really make 
much of it at the time, but when it turned out that the threesome was the last 
time I was to have sex with Xiomara that summer, even I realized this 
significance of her actions.  

As for the Poor Sandra, she woke up with the worst hangover of her life and, as 
people will do, promised she'd never drink again.  In her case, she actually did 
really take it easy with booze after that.  At least the car rental guys didn't 
notice the stain on the backseat upholstery where Sandra had been sitting the 
night before.  Those boys sure must have pumped her full of a lot of cum.


PART 4: THE MOSQUETERAS RULE

I think this is about the right place to insert the following extract from my 
next e-mail to Chicho, after he responded to the previous really long one:


Extracted from e-mail dated July 21, 1999:

Personally I'm beginning to feel kind of guilty because I'm having a pretty good 
time going out with these various women while I certainly wouldn't want to get 
seriously romantically involved with any of them.  They simply carry too much 
baggage.  I still think its weird that I'm dating two best friends and they seem 
to have no problem with it at all.  There certainly hasn't been any pressure to 
choose between them, either because they don't see me worth fighting for or 
because they're well aware that the decision is basically theirs and not mine.

It is true I haven't seen much of Xiomara recently, but her Italian was in town 
for longer than usual this time; for what seemed like most of the first half of 
this month.  She did call me this morning and it sounds like she'll be joining 
us at their favorite dance club this Friday night.  This time I might not be the 
only guy in our group (not that they've ever had any trouble finding men to 
dance with once we get there).  It sounds like Sandra has a new guy she's been 
seeing and Xiomara suggested I make one more attempt to get Diego to come along.  
I think I mentioned him before, but he's this Argentine guy out of MIT and the 
only foreigner at the office who's about my age.  The problem is that he's 
really crazy about his girlfriend back in the States, so he's been reluctant to 
do more than go to soccer games with me.  But we'll see.  In any case, it will 
be nice to watch Las Tres Mosqueteras ride again (figuratively anyway).  

To tell you the truth, I don't know why they keep hanging around me (they tend 
to call me more often than not), except that maybe its because I listen with 
genuine interest, am careful not to be judgmental and am not in the least 
possessive or jealous around them.  

Also, its true that I do tend to pick up the check if I'm out with just the 
Mosqueteras (or any combination of the three), though not if we're with a larger 
group.  But we are in Latin America after all and its to be expected.  I also 
think it helps that I don't have the kind of money or personality that makes me 
a potential long-term provider (by their standards), so its all kind of relaxed 
for them as well.  They treat me primarily as a friend, but one who they can 
sleep with if they feel like it, which is fine by me at this point.  One key 
aspect from my point of view is that they all have very strong reasons for 
staying away from drugs (Beatriz once ended up in the hospital from a bad 
reaction to some coke she finally accepted from her husband late in her 
marriage).  

I am beginning to start wondering where I want things to go from here.  My 
original connection was with Ziomara and I still feel the strongest about her.  
But Beatriz is impossible not to like because she's just so damn nice and so 
amazingly unpretentious despite how gorgeous she is.  Its also cute the way she 
still blushes when talking about the wilder things she's done in her past.  But 
she is very definitely not looking for anything serious with any man, period.  
Even though I have been seeing a lot more of her lately, I still don't get the 
impression that she sees me as anything long-term.

Xiomara can be more "chocante" (brusque/harder edged), but she's also more 
interesting and exciting to be around.  We can talk for hours with perfect 
understanding even when we disagree, which to be honest I think scares us both 
so much that one or the other ends up backing off from the relationship every 
once and awhile.  As long as she's dependent on her Italian (and I certainly 
don't have the money or inclination to take his place), I don't think that's 
going anywhere either.  

I guess you can tell from all these long e-mails that it has been kind of 
intense.  Amazing to think I met Xiomara for the first time only 6 months ago.

One thing's for sure though, eventually I'm going to need to move on to other 
types of women.  While I have continued to go out on a few dates over the months 
with more "normal" women, nothing really clicks.  I still don't like all the 
games you have to go through when dating (particularly down here) and in the end 
many of these women seem even more mercenary than Xiomara and her friends.  In 
some cases, like the last one a couple of months ago, you can almost see them 
thinking: "rich professional gringo!"  I guess at some point I'll be ready to 
meet young single professional woman that I might have more in common with.  

In your latest e-mail you ask me what kind of woman I was looking for; "my 
perfect woman".  Well, she doesn't have to be quite as openly sexual as Xiomara 
and Beatriz.  As long she's intelligent enough so that you can carry on a 
reasonable conversation about a variety of things and cute enough so that I find 
her attractive, I would be quite happy.  

It would certainly be an interesting change to be around a woman who hasn't been 
completely screwed in the most sordid ways (both literally and figuratively) by 
the men in her past – that is if such a women exists over the age of 25.

(end of extract)


Well, that's the end of the relevant parts of that particular e-mail to Chicho 
and as you have probably figured out by now, I didn't quite end up with the type 
of woman I thought I was looking for as described at the end there.  I also 
didn't quite manage keeping from getting romantically involved with at least one 
of the Mosqueteras.

What did happen over the next couple of months or so was that Beatriz and I kept 
seeing each other quite frequently, but this didn't mean that we neglected our 
friends.  

The Mosqueteras as a group decided to take on the town.  Pretty much every 
Friday night they would descend on one of their favorite dance clubs.  Things 
got really interesting when they adopted the custom of always dressing in such a 
way as to show off or at least be able to flash their matching tattoos, without 
getting kicked out for indecent exposure.  This usually meant wearing skirts 
with a slit up the one side, though they did get inventive at times, like one 
night where Beatriz wore skin tight jeans torn strategically in just the right 
place.  Given that the fashion at the time seemed to be long black stretch pants 
(at least I think that's what they're called), this made the Mosqueteras stand 
out even more than they normally would have.  They certainly made an impression.

Probably their favorite club was an old disco called Galaxia.  The place had 
been around since the late-70's when it had been the most fashionable disco in 
town, somehow survived the lean years and was reborn in the mid-90's catering to 
a more eclectic crowd looking for a much wider variety of music compared to most 
of the other clubs.  They usually alternated three 20 minute sets:  European 
electronic dance music, Latin music (Merengue, Salsa and Cumbia) and finally an 
assorted set that included Hip Hop, Reggae and Rock in both English and Spanish.  
One of the nice things about the place is that it did not cater specifically ot 
the 18 to 25 crowd the way so many clubs in town did, though of course you would 
get plenty of college kids (both local and foreign).  But you also got the local 
Goths, the marijuanos (hippie throwbacks), married couples of varying ages, 
tourists and pretty much any other group you can imagine.  It was even a 
favorite place for the whores from the upscale pick-up places like the 
Casablanca and the hotel bar Liliana worked out of to take any dates who wanted 
to go dancing.  On any given night, you could find people from almost any 
ethnicity and at least a dozen different nationalities.  A final important 
consideration was that the Italian guy and his friends didn't like the place so 
he never took Xiomara there.  All in all, it was perfect for the Mosqueteras.

The dynamic when I was along with them, which was most of the time, was quite 
interesting.  When Beatriz was alone with me, she would act like the typical 
girlfriend, holding my hand, walking arm in arm, even the odd kiss.  But when we 
were with the others at the club, she would generally keep her distance, though 
at least she always sat by my side.  I would take turns dancing with all three 
women (and any others they had roped in to joining our group for the night), but 
it was clear I was not to play favorites.  Besides, I'm really not the best 
dancer, so they spent most of their time dancing with other guys or even each 
other – spreading the wealth around a bit.  All three were spectacularly good 
dancers, not surprising given their training, and that only added to the impact 
they made on the scene.

This naturally meant that there was a lot of speculation about where I fit in. 
While a lot of guys were quite envious, kidding me about my "harem", I think 
most quickly realized that the girls were the ones in charge and that I was 
along for the ride.  I didn't mind that, but wasn't happy at all when someone 
let me know that people were wondering if I was a gay friend of theirs.  When 
the Mosqueteras caught on, they resolved the situation in typical fashion by 
taking turns giving me the occasional open mouthed passionate kiss out on the 
dance-floor.  Even Sandra got in on the action when not accompanied by date of 
her own (and she was no slouch as a kisser).  This of course amped up the 
speculation by several degrees as no one could figure out how this rather normal 
looking Gringo in his levis and t-shirts, who couldn't even dance all that well, 
could possibly have such an in with the three queens of the club.  The 
Mosqueteras certainly didn't mind adding another layer of mystery to their 
mystique, and I certainly didn't mind all the attention I suddenly started 
getting from other women.

At least at the end of the evening, Beatriz would invariably leave with me.  
Unless accompanied by a date, Sandra would almost always take someone home with 
her, though after one bad experience she learned to first consult with Xiomara & 
Beatriz about her intended target as they had better instincts about such 
things.  The interesting thing about Sandra was that she seemed to have two sets 
of lovers; guys (usually younger) whom she picked up at the club for a one-night 
stand, and a small roster of more serious men in their 30's and 40's (several of 
them married) who she would regularly date for a period of time, without ever 
letting it get exclusive.  It was funny the way she was always surrounded by men 
and not just at the club.  I mean she really did have no tits or ass to speak 
of, something particularly important in a Latin country, and though she was 
acting like a slut, she certainly didn't dress like one, at least not outside of 
the club.  It did probably help a lot when Beatriz took her on as a makeover 
project, finding her a style that maximized her natural delicate elegance and 
cute face.  She got Sandra's long light brown hair bobbed and lightened, taught 
her to use more make-up, something she had really never bothered with before, 
and helped her pick out a few new outfits she could afford.  But more important, 
Sandra absolutely exuded sexuality.  Guys can tell when a woman is interested in 
sex and Sandra clearly was.  I guess a way to sum it up is that she became 
something of an elegant slut.

As for Xiomara, she almost never let herself get picked up, though it hilarious 
the way she weeded through her prospects.  She would treat any guy who hit on 
her with utter contempt and only when one of them proved study enough to 
withstand her most withering best, would she deign to consider letting him 
escort her out of the club.  It did make me realize how out of character it had 
been when she had flirted with me so blatantly at that bar when we met back in 
January.  No wonder Sandra (who had been with her at the time) had looked so 
surprised.  


PART 5: DATING BEATRIZ

As I've mentioned above, beginning at about the time we returned from the beach 
trip, Beatriz and I started dating on a regular basis.  But what did this 
actually mean?

I quickly learned that she had two very different facets to her personality.  
First, there was Beatriz the mom and caring friend, the picture of a responsible 
mature single mother, running her home and her business with remarkable 
efficiency, while always being there for her friends when they needed her.

And then, there was Bea, the playful inventive sex fiend.  Of all the 20 odd 
women I've had sex with in my life; Bea was the one who most closely resembles a 
character in an erotic story.  For one, this girl really loved cum and not just 
deep inside her pussy.  She loved it in her mouth, down her throat, all over her 
face, on her tits, or anywhere else I wanted to shoot it.  I've been with (a 
few) women who didn't mind swallowing or taking it on their tits every once and 
awhile, but Bea would have been perfectly happy to bathe in the stuff.  She 
detested condoms and it's no coincidence that soon after we really started 
dating, she rushed us both down to get tested.  She hadn't had a guy bareback in 
over a year (not coincidently, since becoming friends with Xiomara), and was 
quite desperate.

The other thing that stands out in my memory is that she also really liked anal 
sex, something I hadn't even brought up with a woman since my first wife once 
kicked me out of the bedroom for even suggesting that we might consider trying 
it.  Though it didn't become my favorite thing to do, it was at least something 
new and different.

But our relationship wasn't all day in and day out sex.  Dating a single mom 
always has its complications, even when you have Grandma around to babysit.  
Beatriz always insisted on dedicating most weekends during the day to doing 
things with her kids, though she did start inviting me along on occasion after 
the first few weeks.

Given that Friday nights were invariably dedicated to hitting the clubs with the 
other Mosqueteras, this left Saturday nights as our big date night.  Of course 
we would see each other during the week as well, but again Beatriz strongly 
preferred to be home to give her kids dinner and put them to bed.

As a result, we ended up starting to meet for lunch a couple of times a week, 
when we could both break away from work at about the same time.  It turned out 
that both my office and her gallery were within walking distance of one of the 
main plazas, though in opposite directions, so it quickly became our custom to 
meet under a particular statue and then hit one of the nearby restaurants.  
Occasionally we would be joined by Xiomara, Sandra or my co-worker Diego, but 
usually it was just the two of us and it was when we did most of our talking.  

I did get a kick out of the fact that no one watching us would ever imagine that 
the beautiful classy looking young women in the conservative dress elegantly 
smoking a cigarette over her after-lunch coffee was telling the rather staid 
looking young businessmen next to her about how much fun it had been to dress up 
in black leather and whip some naked slobbering fool in an Amsterdam B&D club; 
or the time at a party where her husband had her lie naked on the dinner table 
covered in food while 9 other people ate right off her body; or the time in a 
swing club where he insisted they get together with a couple composed of a hot 
young blonde and a pudgy middle-aged guy and it turned out that while the blonde 
just lay there like a slab of meat,  the guy had a huge cock and fucked her like 
a pro.  Whether the stories were 100% true or not, who's to say, but they sure 
spiced up a boring workday.

Of course, I wasn't the only one getting worked up over lunch.  One night about 
2 or 3 weeks after we returned from the beach, I was surprised to hear someone 
knocking on my apartment door sometime after 10 pm.  I opened up to find a 
vision standing there leaning against the wall wearing a jet black pageboy 
haircut, heavy glossy make-up, a corset, garter belt, stockings and platform 
fuck-me heels.  As I stood there open-mouthed, the vision took a drag from a 
long white cigarette, exhaled into my face and said in a sultry voice, "I 
understand that someone here needs my help."

"Help?  Uh, with what"

At which point she reached down and gently cupped my cock between her long blood 
red fingernails before replying, "With this"

She proceeded to gently pushed me ahead of her back into the apartment and up 
against a wall, shut the door behind her, threw a purse and what turned out 
later to be a long raincoat on my couch.  She then got down on her knees in 
front of me and pulled down the Dockers shorts I was wearing.  A second later my 
rock hard cock was in her warm mouth.  She proceeded to play my cock as if it 
were an instrument, driving me repeatedly almost to completion, before backing 
off just in time to slowly take another drag from her cigarette while waiting 
for me to calm down a bit and then repeating the process.  This went on until I 
couldn't take it any longer and I finally just grabbed her head and fucked her 
face until I filled her mouth with cum.

As soon as I came down from my high, I saw that she had fallen back on the floor 
and was lying there panting loudly with her eyes closed.  I immediately 
regretted having treated her so roughly.  But as I dropped to my knees to 
apologize, it was her turn to grab my head and thrust it up between her legs on 
to her hot wet cunt.  It seemed like I had barely started lapping away when she 
went into spasms and yelled out her own climax.

Afterwards, we both just collapsed there on my rug breathing heavily.  After a 
few minutes, she finally stirred and picking herself up off the floor, took her 
purse and went into my bathroom without saying a word.

I managed to pull myself up on to the couch, wondering what the hell had just 
happened; to the background noise of Jay Leno beginning his monologue on the TV 
I had been watching in the bedroom.

Several minutes later, Bea came out of the bathroom wrapped in a towel and 
carrying a wet washcloth.  She proceeded to kneel down in front of me and gently 
wash all the red lipstick marks off my cock, while nervously avoiding me eyes.  
She had taken off what must have been a wig and most of her make-up.  In fact 
the only sign that this was the same woman was her blood red fingernails.

I finally lifted up her chin and simply said, "Thank you."

She blushed and asked, "You liked?"

I answered by giving her a long soft kiss and we ended up cuddling and making 
out on the couch.  Being a weeknight, she couldn't stay too long and eventually 
I walked her out to her car, after loaning her a T-shirt and some sweatpants 
that she had to roll up.  It was only after she left that I stumbled across her 
cigarette which had fallen at some point in the proceeding.  Liliana always did 
wonder where that cigarette burn mark on the rug had come from. 


That was certainly not the first time Beatriz surprised me with a late night 
midweek surprise visit, but it was the most memorable.  It was also when I 
discovered just how much Beatriz liked to role-play.

Of course our relationship wasn't always quite that erotic.  Most of our 
Saturday date nights involved simply going out to eat or if we were really 
tired, picking up take-out on the way over to my apartment.  Usually after a 
long Friday night partying at the club, we weren't up to too much excitement the 
next evening anyway.  Besides, what she was clearly much more interested in 
leaving as much time for sex as possible.

Of course there were exceptions when we did take our games elsewhere.  Probably 
the most memorable took place maybe a month after that first late night visit to 
my apartment and it also involved some role-playing and a wig.

Ever since Beatriz had told me about whoring herself out while waiting to get 
her hands on her husband's assets, I had been curious about the subject.  I had 
certainly never considered paying a whore before coming to this country.  And 
though I no longer assumed all prostitutes were beaten down streetwalkers, the 
way Bea made fun of her former clients, calling them "cocks with wallets", made 
paying for sex seem even more unimaginable.  But that didn't keep me from being 
curious, and at various times I asked Beatriz questions about where she had 
picked up guys and how the whole thing worked.

So I probably shouldn't have been surprised when one Saturday afternoon in early 
September, I got a phone call from Beatriz in which she started out by asking, 
"You know the Excelsiior Hotel downtown?"

"Yes of course." It was a nice looking 4-star establishment smack in the middle 
of the hotel district known for having a ground floor bar that was primarily a 
place for men to pick up high class hookers.  It also happened to be the place 
that Beatriz had worked out of when she dabbled in the business (and where my 
future wife Liliana was to whore herself out beginning a month or so later, 
though of course I didn't know that at the time).

"Good.  Be there at the bar tonight at 9:00 pm and the "puta" of your dreams 
will be there for you."

I immediately felt a quiver of excitement.  Beatriz was clearly up to one of her 
role-plays and this one sounded like a doozy.

I heard her ask, ""Esta bien?" and realized I hadn't yet said anything so I 
quickly agreed to be at the designated spot.

I got to the place a little early and after looking around and not seeing 
Beatriz, took a stool at the bar and ordered a beer.  The place was crowded with 
what must have been about 30 to 40 women and at least half that number of men.  
Most of the women were sitting around against the walls chatting with each other 
while looking appraisingly at the men, particularly those who were 
unaccompanied.  The rest were sitting with guys either at the bar or at tables 
off to the side. 

The women came in all ages, shapes and sizes from cute young girls who were 
probably not yet 20 to a few well preserved women who looked like they could 
easily be closer to 40.  There was also a considerable range in attractiveness, 
from the spectacularly good looking to the relatively ordinary, though there 
were none that one would consider outright unattractive.  

I was interested to note that though most of the women were dressed nicely, even 
the most daring were not wearing anything beyond the pale of what you would 
normally see in any bar or club on a Saturday night.  In fact, if I hadn't known 
so ahead of time, it would not have been obvious that they were prostitutes.

As for the men, they were mostly foreigners dressed rather informally; a lot of 
Khaki pants or jeans and polo shirts, which made sense given that it was a 
Saturday.  Perhaps the most surprising thing about them was how many looked to 
be about my age or younger.  Somehow I had expected all the clients to be in 
their 40's and 50's, but this was clearly not the case.

Though several girls tried to catch my eyes, it was at least 10 minutes before a 
dark haired girl came up to me and asked if I wanted some company.  She was 
clearly either drunk or stoned, and I could see several of the other women 
giving her a disapproving look.  Clearly this was not a place where the whores 
were expected to be aggressive.  In any case, as soon as I told her I was 
waiting for someone, she simply backed off with a smile.

After I had been there a full 20 minutes with no sign of Beatriz, I really 
needed to use the restroom, so I asked the guy next to me, who seemed to be 
absorbed in an NBA game on the big screen TV, if he could watch my drink.  As I 
came out of the restroom into the lobby of the hotel I noticed a girl sitting 
over on a couch seemingly underlining something in a book.  Since she had the 
same body type as Beatriz and as I couldn't see her face, I decided to walk over 
and make sure it wasn't my date, though I couldn't imagine why Bea would be 
reading out in the lobby.

She must have sensed me coming, because she looked up at me and after giving me 
an appraising look, burst out with a really beautiful smile.  She was dressed 
quite attractively in a classy short dress and suede pumps, but was clearly 
someone I had never seen before.  

We both started to talk at the same time and then went silent waiting for the 
other one to speak.  I finally managed to explain that I had mistaken her for 
someone else.  She smiled regretfully and noted, "And I'm waiting for someone.  
But maybe another time?" As I turned around to leave, I noticed that it what she 
had been reading was a Psychology textbook.  I could remember people grabbing 
moments to study in some pretty strange places when I was in college, but this 
was a new one. 

I had only been back in the bar for a couple of minutes, when I noticed a 
stirring off to my right.  A spectacularly good looking woman wearing a short 
tight spandex dress had walked in; clearly one of the daring outfits in the 
place, without being beyond the pale.  It was only when she sat at the bar 
across from me that I realized that this time it really was Beatriz.  The reason 
why I hadn't recognized her right off had been that she had almost white hair in 
a cut that reminded me of the pop singer Blondie.  She had obviously paid 
another visit to her friend who ran the wig and costume shop in the building 
across the street from her gallery.

Bea was almost immediately approached by a rather well dressed Latino guy and 
ended up letting him lead her to the bar across from me.  She caught my eye and 
motioned for me to stay put.  He bought her a drink and then I watched as she 
began to flirt quite outrageously with him.  It was clear that she had fully 
reeled him in when he leaned down and whispered something in her ear to which 
she laughed while running a fingernail up his chest.  Just as I started to 
wonder if she was actually going to let herself get picked up, she started 
shaking her head with a regretful smile on her face while motioning towards me.  
The guy gave me an envious glance and then reached into his jacket and gave her 
a business card.  She responded by planting a quick full lipped kiss on his 
cheek, leaving a red lipstick mark that was visible from where I was sitting.  
She stood up and gradually made her away around the bar to my side.  Everyone's 
eyes followed her as she approached me and after giving me a similar kiss on the 
cheek sat down on the stool right next to me.

She then smiled seductively and asked, "Do you want some company?"

I laughed, "Sure, but it looks like that guy over there is not too happy about 
you leaving him."

Breaking out of her role momentarily, she noted, "I got his card and you can bet 
I would have had him later if I had wanted to.  I had forgotten how much fun 
that could be."

I bought her a drink and we continued to flirt for awhile as she demonstrated 
her skills, very effectively I must say.  Beatriz could certainly be the 
seductress when she wanted to.

I think we were both getting turned on and after a while I decided that it was 
my turn to surprise her.  I asked, "Do you think you might want to come to my 
room with me."

Looking confused, she asked, "Your room?"

When I showed her my key card, she smiled in appreciation and answered, "Perhaps 
I could accompany you to your room, if there were a little gift involved."

"How much of a gift?"

"For you, $100 would be sufficient."

I immediately reached for my wallet, but she stopped me, saying "Not here, 
silly."

"I know that, but I do have to pay for our drinks."

After paying my bill at the bar, I moved to escort her towards the elevators, 
but she stopped me once we entered the lobby and let me over to a nearby 
counter.  She then handed over her ID to a hotel guy standing there and he asked 
me for my room number.  It was only as he started writing down her name, that he 
suddenly looked up in surprise, at which Bea burst out into laughter while 
saying, "Manuel, has it been that long that you don't recognize me."

He burst into a big smile while rounding the counter to give her a hug, while 
saying, "Mi Palomita, I never expected to see you here again.  Didn't you come 
into some money from that "hijo de puta" (SOB) husband of yours?"

Bea explained that she was just there for fun, "for old times sake" and they 
went on to ask each other about their respective kids.

I was still pretty aroused and I guess my impatience was noticeable, as Manuel 
finally suggested that Bea go take care of her "client" and drop by later to 
chat some more.

As soon as the elevator door's closed, Bea turned to me and gave me a long 
passionate kiss that practically had me coming in my pants.  I literally dragged 
her behind me in my rush down the hallway to my room.

As soon as the door was closed behind us, I practically threw her on the bed.  
After Bea fell on her back laughing, she pulled up her short dress over her 
hips, and then spread her knees so that I could see her moist shaved cunt though 
her lacey transparent panties.  But as I started to follow her on to the bed, 
she suddenly covered herself with one hand and asked, "Aren't you forgetting 
something?"

When I looked at her in confusion, Bea held out her other hand palm up and I got 
the message.  I fumbled to get my wallet out of my jeans and managed to pull out 
and give her five 20's.  She slipped these in her purse, quickly pulled off her 
dress and then lay back down with her legs spread again, clearly open for 
business.  She had never looked more like a real centerfold than in that moment.

Meanwhile, I had been rapidly taking off my own clothes.  As soon I was naked, I 
crawled up between her legs desperate to start licking that juicy cunt.  But 
once again she stopped me, saying, "Just fuck me; treat me like your puta."  

Well, if that's what she wanted, who was I to refuse?  I climbed up between her 
invitingly open legs and buried myself inside her in one hard thrust.  God was 
she tight and hot.  As she urged me on I started pounding away much harder than 
I ever had before.  This seemed to send her right over the edge, as she started 
shaking her head back and forth while chanting, "cojeme como una puta" (fuck me 
like a whore) and "así, así, así" (like that).  Her hips were moving back and 
forth with incredible speed as she thrust back at me just as hard as I was 
pounding into her, to point where I was actually a bit sore the next day.  But 
at the time, it felt incredible and I literally lost track of everything else 
until I finally exploded into the back of her cunt.  

Afterwards I felt like I had been run over by a freight train as I collapsed on 
the bed beside her.  I finally looked over and noticed she still had her legs 
open with her knees up and was slowly playing with the cum leaking out of her 
pussy.  She had this dreamy look on her face as she explained, "It feels so 
strange to be full of a guy's milk in one of these rooms.  I never dared when I 
was working here."  She then turned over and gave me a big kiss, before 
continuing, "Thank you for giving me the opportunity to experience this."

She had just given me the most mind-blowing orgasm of my life and she was 
thanking me?  

Later, after we showered together and I ordered a snack from room service, I set 
out to show her just how grateful I was by leisurely lapping up my desert from 
between her legs.  I think I practically drove her crazy by keeping her on edge 
for a good 30 to 45 minutes before finally letting her cum.  Going down on a 
girl as visibly responsive as Bea, is always a delight.  Later, when it was 
finally time for me to drive her home before her kids woke up; she spent an 
inordinate amount of time with her make-up in front of the bathroom mirror.  She 
usually tended not to care so much once our fun and games were over, given that 
she would just have to take it all back off as soon as she got home.  When I 
asked her about it, Bea explained that she couldn't very well walk through the 
lobby looking any less spectacular than she had when she arrived.  After all, 
"Paloma" had an image to keep up.  She also never did offer to give me my money 
back, so I guess I had broken my rule of never paying for sex.  But it had been 
more than worth it.


Though I've only described in detail a couple of our encounters, there were 
several others that were equally as hot as Bea led me through a smorgasbord of 
sexual experiences.  This is how I learned, among other things, that while I 
enjoyed taking her up the ass, it wasn't my favorite; that light bondage only 
did something for me when she was the one being tied up; and that spanking her 
until her ass glowed red turned me on more because of her explosive reaction 
than from the actual act itself.  My take is that she got a kick out of guiding 
me, much the way her ex had guided her through opening her sexual horizons; with 
the key difference being that she never pushed me into something I didn't want 
to do. 

Given all this, you'd think that I'd have been incredibly happy with Beatriz.  
But as the weeks went by, I started feeling vaguely dissatisfied.  In 
retrospect, though Beatriz was keeping my cock happier than it had ever been, I 
found that I started getting bored with her when we were not having sex.  
Hearing her go on endlessly about her kids and the art scene started getting 
more than a bit repetitive.  Even incredible sex can get a bit old if it's not 
accompanied by something more.  It might have been different if we had been 
falling in love, but neither of us had any illusions about that.  In many ways, 
1999 for me was all about discovering the limits of fantasy.


PART 6:  THE LAW OF ENTROPY

Despite the fact that I was beginning to have some misgivings, things seemed to 
be moving along smoothly until one Saturday night in what must have been late 
September, when Beatriz switched things up at the club.  We had gone on Saturday 
that weekend because of a Ricardo Arjona concert (at least I think it was 
Arjona) that the women had wanted to go to that Friday.

Bea let herself be monopolized on the dance floor by this muscular black guy 
(who admittedly was also a fantastic dancer).  I don't know if it was an 
unconscious response to this or what, but I in turn started paying particular 
attention to this cute little college aged bottle blonde, whose spectacular 
tight little ass was almost irresistible.  The girl had been around on previous 
nights and had been quite blatant about showing her interest in me.   I had 
danced with her a few times, but had not let it go farther than that.  This 
night was to be different and without really realizing how I got there, I 
suddenly found myself in a corner making out with her.  Having regained my 
sanity, I gently excused myself and returned to our table where Xiomara and 
Sandra gave me amused looks as the former gently wiped some of the blonde's 
lipstick off the corner of my mouth.  Bea on the other hand, looked so wrapped 
up in her dance partner that it gave me hope that she might not have noticed.  

No such luck.  As we were getting ready to leave, Beatriz suddenly walked over 
to the table where the girl was sitting with her friends and talked to her for a 
bit.  The girl had looked real apprehensive at first, but was all smiles by the 
time Bea came back over to join us and I had to ask her what was up.  

Of course I don't remember the exact words we used, but I'll never forget the 
conversation, so the following is a pretty good approximation.

I asked, "What did you tell her?"

Beatriz smiled and answered, "I told her that she could go home with you 
tonight, but it was only for this one time."

When I started to protest, she interrupted, "I know you want to fuck her.  I 
would if I were a guy.  Anyone can see that she's ripe, ready for the taking".

"But what about you?"

She responded as if were the most natural thing in the world, "Don't worry about 
me.  I'm going home with him," as she nodded towards where the black guy was 
waiting discreetly by the entranceway.  

I tried to protest, as for all the games we had played, we had never involved 
others.  But she cut in to say, "It's only for this one night.  I'm not breaking 
up with you."

I'm sure I looked totally shocked as I watcher her walk away.  Then when she 
hesitated and turned back towards me I hoped for a moment that it had all been a 
joke.  But all she asked was, "What time are you picking us up tomorrow?"

I must have looked confused, because she clarified, "You know, to take the kids 
to the amusement park"

I responded rather automatically, "At about noon?"

She nodded in pleasant agreement, gave me a nice longish kiss and headed off to 
get fucked.

I must have stood there looking stunned for some time, until Xiomara nudged me 
and said, "We're leaving now.  Are you coming or are you staying?"

When I looked at her blankly, she nodded towards the bottle blonde who had 
clearly been following the action and had a hopeful look on her face.

Suddenly feeling a bit angry, I decided on the spot, "I think I'll stay."

Clearly approving of my decision, Xiomara simply said, "Mejor así" (better that 
way).  And then of course, being Xiomara, she had to add, "You do still have 
condoms?"

I only nodded in the affirmative.  I knew I still had a box in my bathroom 
cabinet somewhere.

Xiomara then gave me a pretty hot kiss of her own, before whispering, "Don't 
worry about Bea, she's just feeling hemmed in a little, but she'll come around."

And of course, given a little time to take in what was happening, I began to 
understand why Beatriz had pulled her little switch.  I decided to shelve the 
matter for future consideration as I had an eager young blonde to fuck; which is 
exactly what I did that night.  It was pretty good too, except for the part 
where I burst into laughter when I first saw the Tasmanian Devil tattooed on to 
that tight little ass.

By the next day when I picked up Beatriz and her kids, I was feeling a little 
more put out again.  After all, she could have talked it over with me ahead of 
time.  At least she looked a bit apprehensive.

It was a couple of hours before we finally had a chance to talk when her 10 year 
old daughter took her little boy on a ride for smaller kids.  As we sat on a 
bench waiting for them, she asked rather timidly, "Are you really angry with 
me?"

"A little bit.  Though we never said we wouldn't be with others, at least we 
could have talked it over ahead of time."

"I know, I'm really sorry about that.  It was kind of impulsive.  It's just that 
I had to find out if the stereotypes are true."

"Which sterotypes?"

"That black guys have larger cocks and that guys who are good dancers are also 
good at sex."

"So, what did you find out?"

Looking gloomy, she responded, "No and No."

I mused, "It probably wasn't a fair test.  He looked like the type who probably 
takes steroids."

That got an ironic laugh out of her.

Thinking back over her stories about her past experiences, I had to ask, "Didn't 
you fuck black guys in Amesterdam?"

She blushed while replying, "Once, a big African guy.  But that was on a stage.  
Of course he was big."

By this time we were both in much better spirits so when she asked about the 
blonde, I responded truthfully, "A lot of enthusiasm, but no finesse." 

It suddenly felt like we were back to normal.  That impression seemed to be 
confirmed when she actually accepted dropping her kids off with her mother and 
coming back to my apartment (unusual for a Sunday afternoon).  The sex that 
afternoon was really good as I surprised myself by getting off on the idea that 
her pussy had just been fucked by another cock a few hours earlier.  I had 
always been kind of turned on by the fact that Beatriz kept wanting me to fuck 
her even after having been with so many other guys in her past, and I guess it 
carried over to guys in her present as well. 

Over the next few days I gradually realized that things were definitely not back 
to normal.  Sure, the next weekend at the club we returned to our routine, to 
the disappointment of the young blonde.  But clearly I wasn't the only one 
having misgivings as Beatriz was looking increasingly troubled.

I think it was the following weekend that Beatriz and Xiomara seemed to get into 
an intense conversation at the club.  After a while they both excused themselves 
and walked outside, clearly needing to talk without having to shout over the 
music.  When they didn't come back relatively soon, I finally went and peaked 
out the door.  They were both pacing back and forth in front of each other 
smoking with intense nervous motions.  From the body language, Beatriz seemed to 
be insisting on something, while Xiomara was shaking her head in denial, though 
clearly without much conviction.

After awhile they came back in arm in arm and I was glad to see that they seemed 
to have resolved their disagreement.  But neither one was much in the partying 
mood that night.  Beatriz looked kind of sad but determined, while Xiomara kept 
giving me these rather uncertain thoughtful glances.

The mystery was resolved later that night after Beatriz and I had enjoyed a 
relatively low key fuck.  She suddenly sat up cross-legged and announced with 
tearful eyes that this would have to be out last time as she didn't think it was 
right for us to continue sleeping with each other.  Seeing my confusion, she 
explained quite succinctly, "I like you, but Xiomara could really love you."

Naturally I protested that it was Xiomara whom had gotten us together in the 
first place, and in fact she had stopped having sex with me again once it was 
clear that Beatriz and I were trying to make a go of it.  But Beatriz insisted 
that she had finally realized that Xiomara had only done that because she felt 
she wasn't available to give herself completely to me.  In Xiomara's strange 
mind, since she couldn't have me and she thought I deserved a good woman and 
that Beatriz, especially after her experience with her ex, needed a good man, 
the logical thing to do was to hook us up with each other.  Of course the real 
world doesn't work like that as we were all discovering to our regret.  Though I 
might not have noticed anything, Beatriz insisted that seeing us together was 
hurting our friend, which is why she seemed to be avoiding us outside of the 
nights at the club.  "Besides," she concluded, "the two of you are much more 
suited to each other."

I have to admit that I wasn't as surprised as I could have been at Beatriz 
wanting to break things off.  She had never disguised the fact that she was not 
interesting in tying herself to any one man.  But I was stunned to hear that 
Xiomara might feel more for me than just good friendship.


PART 7: XIOMARA

After mulling it over for a few days, I finally tired to pin Xiomara down on the 
subject one evening at my apartment when I invited her to come over to pick up a 
book she had been asking to borrow.  Of course, I didn't come right out and ask 
her if she was falling in love with me.  Instead I started out by just noting 
that I had missed our talks and wondered how she was doing.  

One thing led to another, and a few beers later she broke down and ended up 
sobbing on my shoulder (the only time I ever saw her cry).  I won't try to 
repeat here the details of what we discussed – it was way too personal even 
given the anonymity of the internet – but for the first time she really opened 
up and I realized that perhaps she wasn't so tough after all.  Maybe it was the 
fact that she was approaching 30, but she was clearly depressed to still be 
doing the mistress thing.  It wasn't that she minded the Italian so much, but 
what was getting to her was that it also meant that even when she met a nice guy 
with whom she could see settling down with, she had to let him go.  Though 
Xiomara never tied this directly to me, it was pretty clear that I was one of 
those nice guys she was referring to.  The whole evening was quite a revelation 
– this was not a woman who normally moped around feeling sorry for herself.  

Xiomara ended up on my bed curled into fetal position, clearly completely wrung 
out.  So after pulling off my own clothes except for my underwear, I curled up 
behind her, pulled the bedspread on top of us and held her as she fell asleep.

I woke in the morning to find that I was still spooning her from behind, but 
that she was now stark naked.  Furthermore I had a boner poking between her 
legs.  When I tried to pull away, she immediately turned over and hugged me up 
against her body face to face.  That morning was the first time I actually made 
love to Xiomara.  Sure we had fucked plenty of times, but this was different and 
I think we both knew it.  It was also the first time we didn't use a condom (not 
intentionally on my part – it's just that I had gotten used to not needing one 
with Bea) and the fact that she didn't ask me to get one is quite telling in its 
own way.  Certainly, I felt something special about finally filling her up with 
my cum.

Therefore, I was quite upset when she seemed to go out of her way to avoid me 
over the following week, even to the point where she called off club night.  In 
retrospect it makes complete sense.  She was not a woman used to showing any 
vulnerability and probably didn't know how to handle what had happened.  But at 
the time I was quite upset.  Finally in desperation I called Sandra and gave her 
an abbreviated account.

A couple of days later, Xiomara suddenly called me at the office and after 
asking if I could break away early that afternoon, suggested I go pick her up 
when she got out of her Tae Kwan Do class at 5:00.  I was quite surprised for 
many reasons, but one of them was that she had never wanted me to come by her 
gym or martial arts school because the Italian had signed her up for both and 
they knew him as her boyfriend.  

Because I was curious to see her in class, I made a point of getting there a 
half hour early.  When I walked in, there were about a half dozen women in the 
room wearing white uniforms, chest pads with a large circle on them and green or 
blue belts.  Their Korean instructor was standing off to the side watching.  
Looking around, I spotted Xiomara warming up against a wall at about the same 
time she saw me.  She frowned momentarily, but then gave me a little nod towards 
where another guy was standing near the door watching.  I guess she wasn't too 
upset at the fact that I had arrived early.

The instructed started by pairing off the women and each duo took turns sparing 
with each other.  Xiomara was wearing a blue belt, which I figured was probably 
pretty advanced since she had been studying the discipline off and on for a few 
years going back to Italy.  She was matched up against a slightly shorter, but 
clearly more muscular woman wearing the same color belt.  

I didn't know much about the sport, but it was actually kind of interesting to 
watch, seeming to involve a lot of fast footwork and sudden kicks aimed at the 
opponents chest.  When it was her turn, Xiomara came out extremely aggressive 
seeming to overwhelm her opponent.  The other girl had her hands full just 
trying to block these attacks and never managed to counter during the minute or 
so the fight seemed to last, before another pair rotated in to take their place.  

With her black hair in a pony tail poking out the back of her helmet, and a cool 
determined look in her eyes; Xiomara looked like some kind of Mayan warrior 
princess.  It took me a moment to make the connection and realize that the last 
time I had seen her look like that was in a parking lot in front of Galaxia 
several months earlier.  I somehow doubted that her instructor would have 
approved at that particular use of her training.  Not that she had done much 
kicking that night, what with the 3-inch spike heeled pumps she had been 
wearing.

In Xiomara's next fight, she was up against the same opponent, who this time 
tried to attack from the beginning.  Xiomara easily blocked a flurry of kicks, 
and then with an fast spinning move managed to smack the other woman right in 
this middle of the target on her chest, sending her flying on to her back.  

The instructor took Xiomara aside and gave her a long talk.  I wondered if she 
wasn't supposed to kick the other girl so hard in practice, but she didn't seem 
all that upset.  I also heard a neutral sounding grunt from right next to me and 
turned to see that another young woman had come in, this one wearing a black 
belt.

The instructor seemed to see the woman standing next to me and called her over.  
A little time later, Xiomara was out on the floor again, but this time facing 
the black belt.

The guy who had been standing next to me finally spoke up, "This one should be 
good."  When I asked him why, he explained that the black belt was actually the 
national champion and had competed internationally, while Xiomara was a natural 
who never gave up.

This time they both came out aggressively and it was a wonder to watch.  It was 
obvious where Xiomara's dance training helped with her footwork, but the other 
woman was simply too good and seemed to get a kick through to her chest pad 2 or 
3 times.  This didn't seem to faze Xiomara at all, as she just looked more 
determined and right before the end, she managed to sneak a kick through her 
opponent's defenses and hit her chest pad with a loud smack.

As soon as the instructor stepped in to end the round, Xiomara bowed to her 
opponent and then after ripping off her helmet, walked over towards me with 
satisfied smile on her face.  I suddenly realized that she had never looked 
sexier than she did right then in that bulky uniform with sweat running down her 
face and that glow of triumph in her eyes.  Maybe it was the sharp contrast to 
the last time I had seen her, curled up on my bed in abject misery.  Whatever 
the reason, I hardly resisted when she came up and grabbed me, pulled my head 
down within reach and gave me a long passionate open mouthed kiss to the hoots 
of her classmates.

After that, there wasn't much more to say.  Oh, I did take her over to a café 
once she had showered and dressed.  She came out looking like a million dollars 
in high heeled boots, skin tight jeans, a skimpy army green tank top and more 
make-up than usual for her.  Once we had settled down and got served, she did 
get around to explaining that she was finally tired of holding back and that I'd 
better watch out because now I was hers.  But it really wasn't necessary; the 
kiss had said it all.


So for the first time, Xiomara and I actually started acting like a real couple, 
or at least we did during the three weeks each month the Italian guy wasn't 
around.  It was difficult of course, particularly since Xiomara had no idea how 
to be a girlfriend.  But I kept putting my foot down at the slightest sign that 
she was reverting to her bad habits from the first time we had dated, and she at 
least tried.  For my part, I tried to adjust to the existence of the Italian.  

It helped that she no longer seemed so paranoid about being seen with me.  When 
I asked her about this, she explained that the Italian already knew that I was 
her friend and didn't consider me a threat (Great – just what you want to here 
from your girl!).  She went on to explain that he wouldn't think anything of it 
if word got back to him that she had been seen around town with me.

We began to toss about ideas on how she could break off with him and still meet 
her obligations.  While she had over a year of grad school to go, I figured I 
could afford the relatively inexpensive tuition they charge here, particularly 
if she got a job to cover her expenses.  The real problem was her family back 
home.  Though dollars went a long way in Nicaragua back in those days (when the 
dollar was actually worth something), her mother's care alone was beyond my 
financial capability given the salary I was earning at that relatively early 
point in my career.  So we never did come up with a solution.

Up to this point in our friendship, Xiomara had usually preferred to visit my 
apartment rather than have me hang out at hers.  She certainly avoided having 
other men in the bed "paid for" by the Italian.  Of course, I knew were she 
lived since it was not too far from my own and I had dropped by on occasion, 
usually to pick her up or drop her off, but rarely had been invited in to spend 
any amount of time.  Xiomara was quite rigorous in keeping to her own (rather 
unusual) code of behavior.  She considered that since the Italian was paying for 
her apartment and for her time when he was in town, she would do nothing to 
disrespect him by violating either condition.

As I've also noted, Xiomara had tended to keep her social life separated into 
two.  I was in the part reserved for her true friends, along with the other 
Mosqueteras.  But she also had an entire set of other contacts and friends in 
the local arts, business and expat communities, who knew her as the Italian's 
woman.  

Now that our relationship was out in the open, Xiomara did start relaxing her 
rules by integrating me much more into the rest of her social life.  

As I explained in another e-mail to Chicho:


(Extracted from e-mail dated Nov 19, 1999)

One of the nice things about being back with Xiomara, this time as more than 
just a friend, is that I now get invited to some pretty interesting parties.  
Given that she's only been in (this country) for about a year and a half, she 
knows an amazingly wide variety of people through her involvement in the 
cultural scene, even if she only has a few really close friends (primarily 
Beatriz and Sandra).

Perhaps the most notable was also the smallest.  About a month ago Xiomara 
hosted a dinner party involving a really unusual mix of guests, including a 
visiting older Canadian former missionary couple whom she'd met years ago while 
hitchhiking in Nicaragua; a laid back German guy about my age who runs a car 
rental agency and turned out to be an avowed atheist; the Belgian mother and 
daughter who live next door, whom I wrote you about last summer; and finally 
Sandra and her latest sex partner, a well known former national team soccer 
player who now works as an engineer.

The Canadian missionary guy cracked jokes all evening, getting into a good 
natured needling contest with the German, mostly over religion, before moving on 
to soccer so as to include Sandra's date; who fortunately turned out to also 
have a good sense of humor.  

But the surprise of the evening were the Belgians, as the mother didn't hesitate 
to explain what she was doing for a living despite the fact that her daughter 
was sitting right there.  Initially she brought in up in response to a question 
from the Canadian woman and just tossed it out there almost daring someone to 
criticize her choices, while sending Xiomara a challenging glance. Clearly our 
host had started preaching at her once again about the evils of prostitution.  
The Canadian woman on the other hand sounded surprisingly non-judgmental, and at 
her prompting, the Belgian mother continued in a much friendlier tone to explain 
the in and outs of her business and exactly why she was working as an escort.  I 
guess the Canadians were the right kind of liberal Anglicans.

Though all of this, many of us were glancing in curiosity over at the girl.  But 
she didn't react much at all, beyond stealing a cigarette out of her mother's 
pack and lighting it up while continuing to look rather bored.  Clearly some 
things had changed in that household in the aftermath of Zayda's visit, not the 
least of which was the fact that the girl was practically unrecognizable wearing 
the latest in current skimpy teen fashion and a rather garish belly button ring.  
But interestingly enough, when the soccer player finally expressed some mild 
disapproval, it was the daughter who jumped in to defend her mother.  

Fortunately the conversation moved on to the less sensitive topic of the girl's 
upcoming PSATs and college plans.  It was almost a relief to see that contrary 
to outward appearances, the girl hadn't lost her aspirations for the future.  
Meanwhile, the Canadian woman had taken the mother off to one side they were in 
a deep conversation that had both of them on the verge of tears.

Don't ask me how, but this weird combination of people seemed to work and the 
conversation was pretty fascinating for the rest of the evening.  

One result of that dinner is that I ended up hanging out quite a bit with the 
German guy.  Everyone here calls him Jorge because no one can pronounce his real 
name.  He's a laid back intellectual with a quirky sense of humor and a kind of 
quiet charisma that seems to attract women.  He's quite definitely not your 
stereotypical German, having initially come over to Nicaragua to "help" with the 
recovery effort after the revolution. Becoming disenchanted with the 
Sandinistas, he bummed around Latin America for a couple of years painting 
pictures until he finally ran out of money and settled down here with the car 
rental job.  

Jorge is currently separated from an old friend of Xiomara's going back to when 
they overlapped with the National Dance Company.  The two originally met and 
dated when he was living in Nicaragua and once he nailed down the car rental 
job, he went back to marry her and bring her here.  

The reason for the separation is that he's pissed off because she lied to him 
about having danced in a night club back in Managua during the couple of years 
he was bumming around the hemisphere.  He assumes, probably correctly, that she 
had whored herself out to some of the clients.  


((NOTE:  In parts of Latin America, the term "night-club" refers to anything 
from a strip bar to a cabaret – with the common denominator being that someone 
(whether male or female) is taking off their clothes for the audience.  Most of 
them are basically strip-bars - and whorehouses in some cases - though there are 
a few that actually put on real floor shows)).


To compound the problem, Felicia is currently the headline act at the ritziest 
night club in town.  She went out for the job after the separation when she got 
pissed off about his attitude (a miscalculation of major proportions on her 
part).  

Xiomara insists that Felicia wants him back and had only started dancing again 
after they separated as she stubbornly refused to take any of his money.  In 
fact, the main reason she invited him to that dinner is that she promised 
Felicia to try to bring him around and it was at her suggestion that I called 
him a few days later to see if he wanted to get together to watch a soccer game 
and have a few beers.  My instructions were to convince him to go see his wife 
perform, both so that he could see how good she was, but also that the club was 
not nearly as slimy as he imagined.

The problem for me is that I'm not very sympathetic to Jorge's point of view.  
Whatever Felicia did to survive, I'm not sure where he comes off criticizing 
her.  Was she supposed to get by for two years off the odd postcard from Cuzco 
or the Iguazú Falls?

Despite my encouragement, Jorge kept agonizing over whether to go see Felicia 
perform without really coming to a decision.  Finally, Xiomara got fed up and 
offered to go along with us if he wanted.  This was actually a major concession 
on Xiomara's part because she really loathes night clubs.  She had always 
refused to dance in one even though at times it could have been a solution to 
her economic problems.  It's not that Xiomara is inhibited about showing off her 
body; because that's the one thing she is not.  Rather its that she takes 
dancing very seriously, talking about it almost as if it were something sacred.  
To her, a night club is a perversion of what it means to be a dancer.  This all 
goes back to the Comandante who used to take her along with  him to the various 
night clubs in Managua.  The first time, Xiomara got so upset she ended up 
vomiting in the bathroom.

But of course, Xiomara's loyalty to her friends comes before her personal 
discomfort, so a couple of weeks ago the three of us went to see Felicia 
perform.  Right from the beginning it was clear that her set was actually quite 
good, something of an imitation of the better European cabarets. Felicia clearly 
aimed the show right at her husband, in what was a very effective combination of 
seduction and contrition.  I found the performance to be amazing, all the more 
because it came from genuine emotion.  Though at various times she flashed her 
tits and pussy, this was a long ways from being a simple bump and grind.  Even 
Xiomara had to grudgingly admit that it was kind of beautiful.  It was certainly 
funny to watch Jorge's face get redder and redder as he realized what was going 
on.  I later made a point of pointing out how in this particular high class 
club, the dancers only had to sit and talk to customers between sets, with no 
lap-dances or touching allowed.

The whole plan seemed to be working when Jorge went back to the club twice more 
on his own just to see his wife dance and actually bought her drinks so that she 
could sit with him.  Xiomara was encouraged, noting that if he was willing to 
pay for $20 drinks just to sit with his own wife, he was probably getting close 
to forgiving the fact that she had lied about her past.  But I'm still not so 
sure.  Unfortunately he also saw one of the dancers leave with a client crazy 
enough to pay the exorbitant bar fine and though Felicia was quick to insist 
that she herself, as the headline act, never had to leave with clients, he 
didn't sound so convinced when he told me about it.  He sure can come across as 
the righteous German sometimes.  Well, we can only hope for the best.

(end of extract)


Unfortunately, in the end, the plan to get Jorge and Felicia back together did 
not work.  I think he still loved her in a way, but simply couldn't get the 
image of her fucking a bunch of strangers for money out of his head.  When I 
came back from the end of year holidays, Jorge told me that they were getting a 
divorce.  I don't really know what Felicia did after that, but frankly I felt a 
lot more sympathy for her than for him. For my part, I gladly stopped hanging 
around Jorge.

The whole episode did make me think about the fact that I had never gotten upset 
over the fact that Xiomara and Beatriz not only had rather sordid pasts, but 
were actually fucking others for at least part of the time they were seeing me.  
For instance, what annoyed me about the Italian wasn't that he was having sex 
with my girlfriend, but rather that he seemed to have first dibs.

The Mosqueteras continued to hit the clubs for awhile, but it really wasn't the 
same after after I hooked up with Xiomara.  For one, the two of us made no 
effort to disguise the fact that we were a couple; not that it was all that 
obvious given Xiomara's reluctance to show any affection in public.  But the 
word did get around, which took some of their mystique away.  The fact that 
watching Beatriz flirt and occasionally hook up with other guys didn't bother me 
is pretty telling in itself.  That certainly wasn't the problem.  I think it was 
more that the novelty wore off and our club nights gradually became much less 
frequent as we moved towards the end of the year.  

It didn't help that there was a strain in the relationship between the three 
women, which came about as another consequence of that dinner party.  It turned 
out that one of the Belgian women's clients was planning a return visit to the 
country, this time with his two sons, and had asked her to line up a couple of 
girls for them.  The client was in his 60's and the sons were in their 30's, so 
he specified that he didn't want just some young whores, but rather age 
appropriate women of some class.  Without consulting Xiomara first, the Belgium 
women had taken Sandra aside at the party and broached the subject.

Though Sandra had been successfully discouraged from trying her hand at 
prostitution back at the beach in June, her financial situation remained 
precarious.  She'd had to drop out of school and take a full time job.  As soon 
as she heard that her share would be $1000 a day for four days, more than she 
would make in 6 months at her current job, it was a done deal.

This time the other two Mosqueteras were not able to dissuade her.  I wasn't 
there, but according to Xiomara, Sandra had at one point pulled out her pocket 
agenda where she had made a notation each time she had sex with a guy since 
starting her spree.  She came up with over 30 different guys and asked her 
friends if this really would be so different.  Xiomara sure thought so, but the 
ever practical Bea came up with a solution: she would volunteer to be the second 
girl, so that at least Sandra would not be on her own (as by this point Xiomara 
wasn't even speaking to her neighbor and none of them trusted her too much).  
The Belgian woman wasn't crazy, there was no way she was going to turn down a 
chance to use Bea.

A couple of weeks later, I was lounging in Xiomara's living room while the three 
women were busy getting Sandra and Bea ready to go out to the airport with the 
Belgian woman to meet the clients.  Though Xiomara still openly disapproved of 
the plan, she had let them use her apartment rather than having to get ready 
next door.  I had been a bit worried that they would have a problem in that both 
sons would clearly prefer Bea, at least until they saw Sandra's pussy.  But when 
the Mosqueteras finally came out, I had to whistle.  By whatever magic they had 
used, they had managed to make Sandra look almost as enticingly irresistible as 
her friend.  If gorgeous classy women are what the client wanted, he was getting 
more than his money's worth.  

After her friends left, Xiomara looked really sad.  She honestly felt that 
Sandra had fallen into the trap of prostitution and was really worried about 
her.  At the same time, she was pissed off at her two buddies.  She seemed to be 
in a funk even after we went back to my place and made love.  Nothing I had said 
seemed to work, so as we were lying naked on the bed, I started tracing my 
fingers over her tattoo.  She followed my fingers for a moment and then mumbled, 
"Uno para todos y todos para uno" (One for all and all for one).

I responded, "Damn right.  And by the way, I still insist these are the wrong 
kind of swords."

Xiomara groaned and promptly bopped me over the head with a pillow, to which I 
of course had to respond in kind.  There's little that a good pillow fight won't 
make better.

Of course, when our two friends returned four days later raving about the 
experience, Xiomara didn't know whether to feel happy or sad.  The way Sandra 
kept waving around her wad of fifty 100 dollar bills, taking the nice tip as a 
confirmation of the success of her first foray into the world of sex for pay, 
made it clear that she had caught the bug.  And in fact, she went on to do two 
more such assignments for the Belgian woman well spread out over the next few 
months, sufficient to allow her to quit her job, finish grad school and have a 
nice nest egg with which to start her real career.  But contrary to Xiomara's 
fears, Sandra never engaged in any other kind of prostitution (if she is to be 
believed).

Beatriz's reaction to the experience was much more sanguine.  She liked the 
money and the sex, but had started missing her kids too much and had no interest 
in ever leaving them for that long again.

Xiomara continued to spend time with the other two (both with and without me 
along), but more likely than not it was just to meet at a café or bar and chat, 
or hang around one of their homes.  The days of them strutting into the Galaxia 
on their spike heels, flashing their matching tattoos from beneath their short 
skirts, were over.


I did spent Christmas that year with Xiomara in Nicaragua, before continuing on 
up to the States to spend the Millennium New Years with my family.  I thought it 
was kind of funny the way she made me stay in a hotel and would not spend the 
night with me.  But I guess she did have a reputation uphold in her home town, 
particularly given what many people assumed young pretty single Nicaraguan girls 
were doing abroad in those days.

I had rented a car and Xiomara did make quite a point of showing me off around 
town, basically to counter rumors (which she insisted had been spread by the 
Comandante) that she had become a prostitute.  

At least I had a chance to finally meet Xiomara's family as we tended to spend 
most of the day over there when we weren't seeing the sights of Managua and its 
surroundings.  Her mother really did look like she was in pretty bad shape.  The 
strokes had left her unable to talk, so the most I could do was tell her what a 
wonderful daughter she had.  Her older sister looked like a plumper beaten down 
version of Xiomara, but at least she was in a pretty good mood as she had just 
gotten her first secretarial job (at the whopping salary of $90 a month), but 
she knew that wouldn't be enough money and was considering eventually sneaking 
across the border into neighboring Costa Rica, the way half of Nicaragua seemed 
to be doing at the time.  There she could earn at least twice as much plus room 
and board working as a household maid or in a factory (and what a sign of the 
times in Nicaragua that the daughter of a formally solid middle class family 
would even be considering those jobs).  But since it would mean leaving her kids 
with her ex-husband's folks (whom had backed her up in the divorce), she wanted 
to wait at least until the youngest entered high school the following year.  So 
it sounded like that economic burden on Xiomara was not going to lessen all that 
much in the short term.

I also met the infamous Comandante.  This last happened when Xiomara took me to 
see a performance by the National Dance Company and he approached us during the 
intermission.  He actually came across as a pretty friendly guy who seemed 
genuinely glad that Xiomara had found someone, but then again he is a politician 
of sorts, so take that for what its worth.  I looked it up and he currently has 
a somewhat important (though not cabinet level) position in the current 
Nicaraguan Government, now that the Sandinistas were voted back into power.  I 
guess having run an escort service and whorehouse for awhile didn't hurt his 
long-term political career.

The most interesting part of that evening was the conversation I had with their 
long time choreographer, a man who clearly felt an almost paternal affection 
towards Xiomara.  The sad part was when he told me that she had clearly been the 
most talented dancer in her generation and could have gone on to great things 
well beyond Nicaragua if she hadn't gotten injured.  But he followed that up by 
looking at her impressive bust size and asked straight out if they were fake or 
real.  When I assured him that they were real, he shook his head and said that 
perhaps her future potential hadn't been so bright after all.  I guess her boobs 
grew quite a bit after she turned 18 and left the Company.  

The funniest part was his description of her reaction to the infamous Contra 
attack.  The way he described it, Xiomara had been so pissed off at being woken 
up that she had started yelling curses and throwing pebbles at the attackers, 
until one of the soldiers tackled her to the ground to get her out of the line 
of fire, getting hit in the arm in the process.  This pissed her off even more 
and ignoring the orders of the military guys with them, she grabbed up his 
weapon and started firing short bursts roughly in the direction of the enemy 
while continuing to cuss them out using language he'd never thought he'd hear 
coming out of the mouth of a teenaged girl.  Now that certainly sounded much 
more like the Xiomara I had come to know than Zayda's overly heroic version of 
the event.

Another funny moment came on the day of our arrival.  Or at least is was funny 
to me though not so much for Xiomara.  It started at the airport back home when 
she had lit up a cigarette and announced that it would be her last.  She didn't 
want to ruin her reputation back home as a health nut.  While it was true that 
she had been able to sort of quit for the duration of Zayda's visit, she really 
hadn't been smoking that much before then.  This time I had my doubts it would 
be so easy, given that she had now been smoking at least a half a pack a day 
regularly since July. 

I started making bets with myself on how long she would hold out and I have to 
give her credit.  We got all the way to Managua, dropped my stuff of at my hotel 
and spent three hours in her house before she finally announced just as we 
finished eating dinner that she wanted to take me to see a friend of hers.  Her 
sister and the caretaker couldn't understand why she just didn't wait until the 
next day, but I suspected that I did.  Sure enough, as soon as we got a few 
blocks away, she directed me to stop at a small store.  She was in and out in a 
flash and before I knew she was sitting next to me sucking desperately on a cig.  
I couldn't help but laugh, which got me a punch on the shoulder for my troubles.  
After that, she made sure to space out our little excursions so that she could 
get her fix when she needed it.

The one more negative note came when we dropped by to see Zayda where she was 
living in her own small apartment (to our great surprise).  Xiomara had been 
seriously considering my suggestion from the previous summer that she bring the 
girl back with her and get her into counseling.  But from the moment she walked 
in it was clear that Zayda still resented Xiomara for what happened earlier in 
the year.  The first thing the girl did was defiantly light up a cigarette, 
almost daring Xiomara to say something.  My girlfriend quickly took the winds 
out of that little bit of rebellion by pulling her own cigs out of her purse and 
lighting one up herself.  At least that cut short any silly stuff, though to be 
honest; Zayda really did come across as much more focused and serious than I 
remembered.  She was already 17 and was clearly set on finding her own way.  She 
explained that she had hooked a Sugar Daddy of her own and he was paying for her 
apartment, acting classes and had helped her land a role in a local TV 
commercial.  At least the guy had also insisted that she finish High School, so 
it wasn't all bad.  

Xiomara was quite gloomy afterwards as she had hoped Zayda would avoid repeating 
her own mistakes.  I don't think Xiomara realized what she was getting into when 
she rescued Zayda years earlier.  But considering that she was only in her mid-
20's at the time and had plenty of other serious problems to deal with, she did 
remarkably well by the girl.  


Overall, it was actually a really nice trip, but I think it also led to our 
final breakup.  Once we got back home, it simply became impossible for us to 
continue while she was still seeing the Italian.  We started fighting all the 
time and lasted barely a month.  

The breakup was really tough, but it was mutual.  Xiomara finally came right out 
and said that we had worked better as friends with benefits, noting that we had 
even stopped talking with each other the way we used to (for which she correctly 
accepted the blame).  

To be honest, I was kind of relieved and it wasn't just the Italian.  A lot to 
the things about the way Xiomara treated her lovers that I hadn't liked when we 
first met were still bothering me, and though she did initially make an effort 
to improve, she started reverting to her old bad habits after the holidays.  
When we hooked up after Beatriz broke things off with me, I had somehow 
forgotten all the very good reasons for not getting involved with this woman 
that I had written to Chicho the previous summer.  By the end of January 2000, 
they had been rubbed in my face once too often. 

Surprisingly enough, one of my key additional gripes was that I had started 
becoming increasingly dissatisfied with the fact that Xiomara simply wasn't 
"cuddly" enough.  She normally detested too much PDA, even preferring not to 
hold hands in public.  That would have been OK, if not for the fact that she 
wasn't much better in private.  For instance, she was the first girlfriend I had 
who did not like to cuddle up after sex, preferring instead to that I move over 
to the other side of the bed.  Now some guys might prefer a woman who doesn't 
get clingy after sex, but I sure started missing it when it didn't happen.

Still, as I think back, Xiomara remains one of the most impressive women I have 
ever met.  I'm just glad I didn't end up marrying her.  

Ironically, it was a few weeks before that Christmas trip to Nicaragua that 
Xiomara introduced me to Liliana in another one of her attempts at matchmaking, 
though this time I wasn't the intended target.  But that's a story for another 
day.


WHERE ARE THEY NOW

I guess I shouldn't just end this account without including the obligatory 
"Where are they now" section.

The one member of the Mosqueteras whom I still have somewhat regular contact 
with is Sandra, despite the fact that I didn't see her for some 3 years or so 
after my breakup with Xiomara.  The first time we ran into each other again was 
at a cast party for the play her ex was in with my wife and I found her in a 
corner, smoking away while talking with Liliana, her ex, and another man.  She 
seemed really happy to see me and introduced the other guy as her new husband.  
Judging by how content she looked, this guy clearly was capable of appreciating 
her feminine charms.  She's repaid him by becoming the epitome of the devoted 
wife and mother.  Seeing her now, you'd never guess that this was a woman who 
slept with 30 guys in 7 months and even did some escorting on the side.

It's through Sandra that I get news about the other two, since true to their 
pledge during that beach trip; they've remained in close contact, even when 
living far apart.  Beatriz was Sandra's maid of honor and they remain best 
friends today despite the fact that they now live very different lifestyles. 

I did run into Beatriz occasionally around town over the next few years, but we 
always simply greeted each other and went on our way.  According to Sandra, 
she's still single, but has slowed down her hectic social life considerably.  
She got into a pattern of serial monogamy, breaking things off whenever a guy 
showed signs of becoming too attached to her.  She even ended up playing the 
role of the mistress herself a couple of times over the years (though never 
letting herself become financially dependent the way Xiomara had on the 
Italian).  This includes an affair with a former president of this country that 
they managed to keep out of the press.  As a result of the clever management of 
her ex-husband's assets and some of the gifts she received from lovers, she was 
able to afford to send her kids to the same expensive American school that the 
Belgian girl had gone to and her daughter will be heading off to a US college 
next fall.  

As for Xiomara, once she got her Master's and her mother passed away, she dumped 
the Italian and got a decent job using her new degree.  About a year later she 
surprised everyone by marrying Jorge, the German car rental guy.  They 
eventually moved back to Germany when he came into an inheritance.  Sandra and 
her husband went over there and stayed with them during the 2006 World Cup.  She 
reports that Jorge now manages a car dealership of which he's part owner, while 
Xiomara runs their household with an iron fist, takes care of their two kids, 
gives dance lessons to children in their neighborhood and writes poetry on the 
side.  Perhaps she needed a guy as laid back and easy going as Jorge all along; 
someone willing to let her be in charge as long as she doesn't go over certain 
lines.  Good thing then that she resisted the temptations of stripping or 
whoring.

But Xiomara - a suburban German housfrau?  It boggles the mind!  

Sandra has actually become something of a friend of Liliana's.  After all, they 
do have a bit of a wild past in common and my wife is one of the few people that 
Sandra can be honest with about some of the things she got up to.  But I tend to 
feel a little uncomfortable around her and it's not because she reminds me of 
Xiomara and Beatriz.  The problem I have is that I can't help but picture her 
cute little pussy dripping cum on to my bed that night at the beach.  Xiomara 
was right; I really am "pervertido".
