  Act 1: Coming Home

  Chapter 1

  The house was a dream come true for Jacob Handler. He had always wanted a nice place to call home. It was in the centre of town, on the opposite side of where he was living, beneath the hills that separated it from the west side. It was a more up market neighbourhood, but that’s not what interested Jacob. The large two-storey, split level house, with four large bedrooms, three bathrooms, three car garage and large backyard with pool took him in completely. The outdoor entertainment area was completely private from the neighbours and would be perfect for his home business, since one side had a view over the central business district. No one would be able to see up there from down below, since the house was so high up. It felt like a home to him and he knew it would be a great way to settle down and grow his life.

  “So this entertainment area is completely private… and the pool is too. And with summer fast approaching I dare say you’d get good use out of it,” said Nikki Walsh the real estate agent.

  Jacob looked at the realtor and figured it was time to tell her he wanted the place. He had fallen in love with it as soon as he’d stepped foot in the door, but he had held off telling her because he simply enjoyed following the woman around, watching her backside wiggle in her tight fitting skirt.

  “I can’t speak highly enough of this house. It’s fantastic. So I guess the question is, will you buy it?” Nikki continued.

  “You’re not backwards in coming forwards are you?” Jacob asked with a smile. He could see the twinkle in her eye, and could feel the sexual tension she had been generating from the moment he shook her hand at the front of the house only twenty minutes ago. It was obvious, considering that even on the phone she oozed pure sex. Jacob was quick to figure out that it was her way of selling – but in person she was so much more: more intense, more deliberate in her actions and definitely more sexual in her nature when she laid her eyes upon him.

  It wasn’t the first time this had happened to him, and he was beginning to feel like a piece of meat; there was more to him than that and none of the women seemed interested in finding out. Once they knew his secret it seemed that they were more interested in that than his mind or his personality. Perhaps this time would be different. He wasn’t sure, he had said that last time and it was one of the reasons he had ended up moving. He looked around the house and forgot about that thought for a moment, simply excited, having found his new home.

  “I like to take charge. If I want something, I’ll do whatever it takes to get it. I want to sell this house, and I want you to buy it. So no, I’m not afraid of going after what I want,” the real estate agent replied holding her clipboard low with her arms in front of her. She painted a confident picture for Jacob, who found it refreshing that she was so honest.

  “I’ll take it,” Jacob said in his humble voice.

  The ambitious blonde smiled at him and hugged her clipboard close to her chest. She stood a good half a foot shorter than Jacob, who was six feet three inches tall.

  “Really? That’s great…” Nikki said enthusiastically. “So we require a ten percent deposit and you’ll have to get in touch with your solicitor.”

  “Will cash do?” Jacob asked with his cute smile.

  Nikki smiled back and gently twisted from side to side knowing full well the effect it would have on getting what she wanted.

  Jacob figured she couldn’t be much older than twenty-five, she was young looking but he surmised she had a tough side to her. He figured to be in real estate that’s what was needed.

  “Seriously?” Nikki replied, still looking at him with her big blue eyes.

  “Absolutely, I was going to pay cash for the whole place…” Jacob said, causing Nikki’s eyes to widen.

  “Wow, what do you do? I can’t imagine ever having that much money,” Nikki said, looking down at her clipboard.

  “I’m a masseuse…”

  “And you’ve got cash?” Nikki asked in disbelief.

  “Yeah, apparently I’m good with my hands,” Jacob replied without realising the connotation that it provoked. Nikki blushed and then moved a step closer.

  “You must be a really good masseuse,” Nikki said almost fluttering her eyelids.

  “I wouldn’t know,” Jacob replied looking around the house again.

  Nikki brushed her hair back and took a moment to decide what she should say next, darting her eyes back to his.

  “I’ll tell you what, I’ll push for this to happen as fast as possible if you give me one of your massages.” Nikki said her confidence abound.

  Jacob looked at her for a moment, looking her straight in the eye to see if she was telling the truth. He wanted this house, and the sooner the better, so why not? She was intriguing, and with the possibility of getting the house quickly, not to mention giving him time to find out more about her as a person, Jacob thought it was a good idea.

  “Okay… deal. You can be my first client here,” Jacob said walking around the entertainment area and looking to see if it was truly private. To his satisfaction it was.

  “Here? You don’t have an office or something?” Nikki asked holding her clipboard behind her and pushing her chest out.

  Jacob noticed out of the corner of his eye how she was pushing her small but ample cleavage forward against her white blouse, but maintained eye contact with her, to let her know his intentions.

  “I work from home, and this spot here is going to be great. I can enclose it in winter, and clients will have the best views… it’s great!” Jacob replied smiling.

  Nikki smiled in return and nodded her head. “Okay, deal… so what’s the usual asking price for one of your massages?”

  “Usually they start at two hundred and fifty for the basic… it goes up from there,” Jacob replied causing Nikki’s mouth to drop open.

  “For a massage? Really? You must be good,” Nikki said in astonishment.

  “Perhaps. I offer a quality, confidential service. I do all kinds, but my main clientele usually ask for full body massages, sensual, and move up from there. But no sex…” Jacob said, surprising Nikki again.

  “Sex?!”

  “Yeah I had a client ask for it one day … I don’t do that,” Jacob said with a smile. Nikki was starting to intrigue him, and he felt like he should get to know her a bit better.

  “Fair enough. So why does it have to be confidential?” Nikki asked as Jacob walked back into the house with Nikki following.

  “A lot of people get the wrong idea about massage. People think it is all about the actual act of sex, when it is more about getting someone to feel completely at peace, relaxed, that sort of thing… Besides, you only want a massage right? Nothing fancy?” Jacob replied, walking through the large lounge room again and looking out the front window to the street.

  “What more is there?” Nikki asked with a sly smile.

  Jacob noticed she was flirting with him as she brushed her long blonde hair back and straightened her blouse that didn’t need straightening. He was certain she had undone one of the top buttons to show off more cleavage.

  “Well… the standard massage oil – Nuru – is incredible. I can be either clothed, in a g-string or nude while I give you a massage. I can give you a full body massage but no erogenous zones, I can do every part of your body including erogenous zones, or I can also give you a happy ending,” Jacob said, seeming to impress Nikki whose eyes had lit up as she simply nodded. “I have quite a few clients that opt for the happy ending… all female of course.”

  “And I take it happy ending is code for orgasm?”

  “Correct,” Jacob said, seeing Nikki smile sexily and play with her hair flirtingly.

  “So you’d give me the works, yo
u nude and a happy ending, for pushing this house through as quickly as possible?” Nikki asked, breathing out a seductive sigh.

  Jacob could see the gears turning in her head. This felt like this could be a good opportunity to get to know her. After all he was single, and hopefully so was she.

  “If that’s what you want, and you and your other half is okay with it, then yes,” Jacob said, hoping she was single.

  “It is and I don’t have a partner, I’m single…” Nikki said with a wicked smile. “There aren’t more of you that do this are there?”

  “I have a friend that also does it… why?” Jacob asked walking down into the front of the house towards the front door.

  “I just wondered why I had never heard of it before, that’s all… but then again, I guess I never went looking for it either,” Nikki replied following Jacob rather closely.

  If he didn’t know any better he could have sworn Nikki was all over him, wanting to touch him and discover what he looked like naked. Jacob could feel her undress him with her eyes.

  “Well one day you might meet my friend Tyler and you’ll see he’s just as normal as me,” Jacob said walking out of the house. “So do I come back with you to your office and give you a deposit?”

  “I’d like that,” Nikki said, locking the front door and then bending over in front of Jacob to put the key back in the lockable key vault near the front door. She slowly rose, giving Jacob enough time to check out her legs and backside. Smiling she turned and faced him, accidentally brushing past him to go to her car. “I’ll push this through as fast as it can go.”

  “That sounds great,” Jacob said walking to his car. He was happy he could buy the house and happier still that Nikki was open to his advances. Something told him this was going to be the start of something great. It reminded him of an old flame of his, Mercedes, an attraction there that he couldn’t quite put his finger on, but one that excited him none the less. He had a feeling things could get interesting and be different – a good different – something that he felt was a pleasant change for once. Moving back to his home town was starting to look like the best decision he had made in a long time.

  Chapter 2

  Things had never been right since he left town as a teenager. Coming back was all about re-capturing that lost sense of self, that feeling of being at peace and at home. Jacob was hoping that he would have renewed luck being back where he grew up. He wanted to settle down and put his recent past behind him. Coming home would allow him to start anew and hopefully find that special someone that he had tried for so long to find and start a family with. After all, he missed his family and what better way to have one, than create your own.

  Jacob walked out of his ensuite bathroom and opened the curtains ready to start the day. He had to get ready before his friend Tyler Wayne showed up for a run through the hills behind his house. Jacob shook his head at the mere mention of the hill, as it was more of a mountain than hill, but obviously it didn’t go as high. He stopped for a moment realising how comfortable he was in his new home – walking around his bedroom naked allowed him to feel at ease and comfortable. He grabbed a shirt from his dresser, and a pair of underpants and shorts, ready to get dressed when he saw Mrs Chang peeking over a small hedge behind the back fence between their houses. It was over half a metre high, and he could see Mrs Chang doing her best to keep herself hidden. The only problem was her black hair contrasted against the green leaves, making her stand out like a sore thumb. Luckily it was a private part of the yard that looked straight into his bedroom, so he didn’t feel like he was doing anything he shouldn’t. Not wanting to cause any commotion, Jacob moved closer to the window without letting on that he could see her and pulled his t-shirt over his head before moving back to grab his underpants and shorts.

  Jacob had introduced himself to Mrs Chang two days ago when he first moved in – the middle aged Asian lady was all smiles and very welcoming when he arrived – he found her pleasant to talk to and quite lovely. Jacob discovered she had been in the area for twenty years, was married for twenty-five years and had two teenage twin daughters. But he got the sense from her that she was very nosy, asking him a lot of questions before he left. Showing off to her was a way to see what she would do, and when he noticed she hadn’t left, he realised she must have liked what she saw. Jacob surmised that Mrs Chang was one of those quiet people that were really a voyeur, but to your face that wasn’t the case. Only time would tell if his summation was correct.

  Jacob walked out of his bedroom in his best running gear when there was a knock at the front door. Knowing Tyler had arrived, he quickly opened the door and let him in. Standing just an inch shorter than Jacob, Tyler was lean and built like the proverbial brick outhouse. He had good muscle definition and a lot of the ladies he massaged enjoyed touching them, or so Tyler said. He did love to comment on the fact that they seemed to prefer chocolate instead of vanilla; after all, Tyler was of African descent. It probably didn’t hurt he had a decent smile and was a nice guy, but Tyler being Tyler, always liked to rub in the race card, even though it wasn’t true.

  “Hey Jake… ready for me to kick your butt on our run?” Tyler said with a laugh. While they weren’t competitive, they did joke around a bit.

  “While I’m not as muscly as you, I dare say I might have the edge. Running isn’t all about who’s the strongest,” Jacob said, taking a big drink of water and then grabbing his keys.

  “So where are we going today?” Tyler asked, stretching his legs out before following Jacob out of the house.

  “I thought we could go up the hill and see where it takes us. I think it comes out on the road that joins up with this street,” Jacob replied locking his front door and heading into the street.

  They began to casually walk up the street, with Jacob waving to Mrs Chang who simply smiled at him and casually waved back, before they took a right turn and started their jog up the hill.

  “Now this sounds like a work out. Did I mention when you moved in that this is a great area?” Tyler asked jogging beside Jacob.

  “Several times,” Jacob replied.

  “You know, if this hill is any good, I might have to come back a few more times,” Tyler said not even breaking a sweat.

  “I probably won’t come to the gym that much, maybe only twice a week if this works,” Jacob said continuing their small talk.

  “What?! So when are we going to hang out then?” Tyler asked as they made their way to the bottom of the hill and began up it.

  “Tyler, you can come around any time, we can hang out on weekends. I’ll tell you what, come over on Friday and we can have a little get together – you know hang out by the pool,” Jacob replied forthrightly.

  “Deal,” Tyler said with a smile.

  Jacob knew that smile and it could only mean one thing. Tyler was wanting a free pass to come around when he liked. He had played Jacob – not that it was such a bad thing – but he could have just asked.

  “Enough talk, let’s see how fast you are,” Jacob said sprinting up the hill, leaving Tyler in the dust. Tyler rushed after him, not quite catching up to Jacob when they hit the low density bush. The trees and shrubs were a welcome change from the hard concrete pavements of the town; Jacob could tell he would spend more time up here to get away from it all. It was a large hill and it was going to take some time to cut across it, but Jacob didn’t mind, it was going to be a good workout.

  Half an hour had passed and they were both only three quarters of the way along the dirt hiking track they had found earlier. Feeling a little out of shape, Jacob stopped for a moment and then realised that the large drink he had taken back at home hadn’t been the best of ideas.

  “You keep going, I just have to take a leak,” Jacob said to Tyler who was slowly jogging forward along the track.

  “Okay, I’ll stop up ahead if you take too long,” Tyler said with a two finger wave before continuing on.

  Jacob quickly made his way into the thick bush, trying to find a mor
e private spot off the track where he could do his business. Within moments he found a nice spot not too far away from the track and proceeded to undo his shorts. Ready to release his monstrously full bladder he suddenly heard something in the bushes and decided to move a little further in, just in case someone was there watching him. He looked over his shoulder while he moved forward, and once he felt clear he began to release the raging pressure.

  “Hey!” a female voice cried out which took Jacob by surprise.

  A light, caramel coloured woman leapt from the bushes, right in front of where Jacob was urinating, with her shorts around her ankles, before she fell over right next to Jacob.

  “What do you think you’re doing?!”

  “Shit sorry!” Jacob said doing his best to cut off mid-stream. He looked down at the attractive woman with neck length dark hair and realised she was naked from the waist down. She must have been doing the same thing he was when he arrived. Jacob looked at her face, the big brown eyes and large mouth, and realised something was familiar about her. Her big nose was the same as someone he knew and the wavy hair was almost identical.

  “Damn it! I just pissed on myself!” the woman said scrambling to get up and cover up.

  Jacob realised who he was looking at.

  “Kelly Mitchell, is that… you?” Jacob asked, completely forgetting where he was or what he was doing. From his memory to now, she had grown into a woman. The last time he saw her she had been a skinny girl with not much to show for it. Now she seemed to fill her singlet top very well and her hips were rounded. She looked up at him while she pulled her shorts up and then stopped realising she too knew Jacob.

  “Jacob Handler… Hi,” Kelly replied, her demeanour changing to a pleasant one. She looked him up and down with her eyebrows raised, before nodding to herself, impressed with what she saw.

  “What’s it been, ten years?” Jacob asked.

  Kelly suddenly realised what she was looking at and turned red.
