       THREE

      The fact is, it was prostitution. You can dress it up however you’d like; but for me to tell myself that earning my living as a prostitute was a situation that couldn’t get any better was at best a little naïve. At worst, a little delusional.

      After meeting Peach, I had a week and a half of a remarkably ordinary life. Ordinary classes, ordinary calls through Avanti with remarkably ordinary sex.

      I’m not sure what I had been expecting – whips and chains, perhaps? Or nun’s habits, or something? What I got instead was the sort of unmemorable sex that invariably characterizes first encounters. A little clumsy, a little awkward, and the thought occurring midway through that perhaps you don’t really like this person all that much after all.

      It happens in real life all the time.

      Of course, my situation had a certain advantage over real life. I could leave after an hour. In real life, you’re stuck with him for somewhat longer.

      A lot of the clients told me what to do, which I found a little off-putting. I’ve never dealt too well with being told what to do. Not in real life, anyway. It didn’t matter: in this context it was acceptable. They got off on it. Sit here, do this, take that off. Do that again. Do it harder. Do it some more. Stand up, kiss me here, turn around, bend over.

      Maybe nobody listened to them in real life. Maybe this was the only power they ever felt.

      There was a guy out in the suburbs, up in North Andover, a handsome middle-aged African-American who I saw from time to time. After a semi-successful three quarters of an hour spent on his bed, he would make out a check (previously cleared with Peach, of course; this tends to be a cash-only business), always with something of a flourish. He winked at me as he added on the comment line that it was for “purchase of art work.” I guess that I qualified.

      There was a ridiculously young man in South Boston, nice, who offered me a light beer and then never gave me a chance to drink it.

      There was my first hotel client, a regular who visited Boston once a month on business. He was very busy, he informed me, gesturing toward the open laptop on the coffee table with papers scattered all around it. He was as good as his word, too, loudly encouraging me through an energetic blowjob, offering a ten-dollar tip on top of the agency fee after I’d finished. I was out of there in just under twenty minutes. It was eight-thirty at night, I was well-dressed and feeling attractive, walking down a hotel corridor, with one hundred and fifty dollars that I had made in less time than it had taken me to get dressed.

      I had been firm with Peach when she called me with the hotel job. I had this idea of guys just passing though Boston, sitting in a hotel, looking up an escort service, maybe not being as careful as they should be. The one thing, I knew, that would bring me back down to earth with a resounding thud would be for me to get arrested. I was willing to have sex so that I could make a living. I wasn’t willing to give up my real career, however, and an arrest would do that in a heartbeat. “I only want regulars,” I told her. “I only want to see guys that you know.”

      “It’s okay, Matt’s a regular,” she said, her voice comforting. “He’s fine, he’s been with us for over a year.”

      “Okay.” I hesitated. “But, Peach, just for the record – I never want to see a new client. Ever. I just can’t take that chance.”

      “Oh, honey,” she said. “I understand.”
