“We call him the sheik because he recently purchased an odalisque Can you believe it? So depraved”
“What the hell is an odalisque?”
Mason tugged on a lock of her hair “Jess, that’s supposed to be a secret”
“I won’t tell hiuy’s real name” She turned back to Kai “He’s nobody you’d knoay Soht a se--”
Mason pulled his wife down into his lap and clapped a hand over her ”
Jess wriggled, pressing back against her husband, and whispered so behind her hand Whatever she said, it must have been potent Only Jessamine could make a hardened playboy like Mason Cooke blush
“So, you never answered my question,” said Kai “What’s an odalisque?”
Jessahter Mason pushed her to her feet and steered her toward the door
“Google it!” she yelled over her shoulder “Odalisque O-D-A--” Again, Mason muffled her voice and waved farewell to Kai with his other hand

“I searched for the word ‘odalisque’ and all that came up was a bunch of crap about slaves and harems Tell me you and Jess haven’t entered the slave trade This ‘sheik’ friend of yours isn’t involved in hu, is he?”

His friend silenced hiet involved in huhtless and maniacal pervert, but I doubt even she would stoop so low” Mason al the nachos in front of him
“Spill it,” Kai ordered
Mason swirled a broken chip in a bowl of salsa, thought a moment, then started to talk
“Okay, you knoife somehow finds the weirdest, most freakass people in Hollywood Without fail”
Kai nodded in agreement
“So a couple weeks ago she got invited to this guy’s house for a party We’ll continue to call him the sheik, shall we?”
“Why not?”
“So this ‘sheik’ is a single guy, dirty dirty rich More money than he knohat to do with, but lonely as the day is long He’s not a sheik at all, he’s from Indonesia He owns a coners and fashion houses Velvet, silk, cashentlemen’s bespoke suits This is all he does No social skills, no polish No skills at picking up girls or protecting hie of him But he wants someone, you know, to fulfill hisneeds”
“Of course he does”
“So he took his fistfuls ofcalled an odalisque” Mason paused, frowning “Not so Someone A woman”
“Like a mail-order bride?”
“No Nothing like a irlfriend or escort or whore, not anything like that He told Jess about this Code d’Odalisque, this lifestyle these wo a sexual slave to atype of thing”
Kai snorted “A divine calling? I see”
“Yeah, I know I showed up expecting some brassy fake-boobed slut fro But it was”

“Kai, I can’t even explain this shit to you We got to the party There were uys And there was this girl, this odalisque I don’t even know her name, but I will tell you, my friend--she knocked me dead”
“Beautiful?”
“Beautiful doesn’t cover it” Mason waved a hand “Beautiful, graceful, all that, but so much more She was like someotherworldly creature When you touched her, she reacted, and if it was acting, it was really, really good acting She took on the whole room, all thehis voice “I’ blowjobs, ass, pussy, face shots, double and triple teaain and she took all of it with this incredible sensual poise I can’t explain it It was likeere the ones doing the fucking, but she was the one in control We all left that night completely in love with her No, not in love We were in adoration”
