The gym was crowded and sweaty girls milled around after Zumba class, but I moved around the Nautilus machines, finishing my work-out in good time. I showered, looked at my body in the mirror that I work hard to maintain. Women love me. And I love them. That’s why I make good money.
“Good bye, Ross,” said the girl at reception with big adoring eyes.
“Have a nice day.”
“You too.”
I had just put the key in the ignition when my phone alerted me to a message. It was from Mrs. McTavish.
‘Are you free tonight? 7?’
I smirked. Mrs. McTavish. Her husband must be out of town. I texted back, ‘Yes. See you then.’
Mrs. McTavish and I went about our day in Park Cities, the most affluent bedroom community south of Dallas as well as my hometown.
Park Cities women are gym toned women with great smiles and cheerleading daughters. They are women of southern graces, the women of the new south. And I was their toy.
