CHAPTER 221: FANCY MEETING YOU AGAIN

Jack and Madison followed the spa attendant out of the lounge, then down the hall and through several turns before entering a small room with two tables in the center.

Each table had two chairs, one each on opposite sides, and a middle-aged woman standing next to it.

"These ladies will be taking care of your manicures today," said the spa attendant before leaving the room and closing the door behind her.

The next thirty minutes were not as boring as Jack had thought they would be.

It turned out you could polish a nail the old-fashioned way, with oil and a fine-grit abrasive sponge.

The lady hadn’t even bothered to ask him if he wanted nail polish and instead offered him the alternative, claiming that it rendered the nail smooth, but not shiny.

Madison opted for this option as well, claiming she hated maintaining nail polish.

Most of the time, the two ladies gossiped with himself, Madison, and each other, sharing titbits they had heard about various celebrities.

It was nice because he could feel Madison relaxing and enjoying the idle chitchat. He even learned that Madison did enjoy gossip, as long as it involved someone she disliked, like Sarah Withers, the Briarwood celebrity that played Green Viper.

When their manicures were complete, the spa attendant returned and led them to another, slightly larger room. Inside were what looked like four strange thrones. Each was a comfortable padded armchair sitting on a raised pedestal, with a pool at the foot.

The attendant directed them to sit in two adjacent chairs, then asked if either of them wanted champagne or another beverage.

They both asked for champagne, then sat back in their chairs.

Since they were alone in the room, Madison looked at him and asked, "Are you really going to let her meet with everyone?"

She meant Evelyn Tanner meeting his harem.

"Yes. I don’t see any harm in it. Besides, I’m curious to see how she’ll react. I’m also curious to see how Samantha will react."

"But can we trust her? What if she’s planning something, or just wants to use us for source material for a movie plot or something?"

He smiled knowingly.

Madison got an aha look, then nodded.

"Right. Can I participate?"

She understood that he planned to "question" a copy of Evalyn to learn her true motives and plans and wanted to be there when it happened.

He nodded. He didn’t see any reason why not.

The attendant returned with two flutes of champagne, and right behind her came two younger women.

Each sat on a stool at the foot of Jack and Madison’s throne-like chairs and began by removing their slippers and washing their feet.

It was a strangely arousing experience, having someone wash and massage his feet, and he suddenly understood why women would want to experience it on a regular basis.

After washing his feet, the woman applied some kind of paste to his feet, then wrapped his feet in something and set them on a footrest.

Both women stated that his and Madison’s feet needed to soak for a few minutes and that they would return shortly, then left.

A minute later, the spa attendant returned, followed by Evalyn.

He didn’t get a good look at her figure when she was in the lounge, but now he could tell that she was Miranda’s height, but had Katie’s build. Medium height, willowy, pale skin, and modest breasts.

"Well, fancy meeting you again," said Evalyn to Jack cheerily as she sat in the chair directly across from him.

Then she turned to Madison. "Oh, and you too," she said calmly.

He could tell from the attendant’s expression that she had intended to direct Evalyn to the chair across from Madison but wasn’t going to say anything.

He could tell that Madison was not blind to Evalyn’s implied slight when only addressing Madison as an afterthought.

When Evalyn sat, she spread her legs, and her robe opened enough for Jack to see her toned legs up to mid-thigh.

She didn’t look at Jack or Madison, but he could tell her attention was on him and she was waiting to see how he would react to the flesh she had revealed.

Instead of staring at Evalyn’s exposed thighs, he turned to Madison and said, "What do you think about going somewhere warm for the winter break?"

Madison had noticed what Evalyn was trying to do, and he’d felt a spike of annoyance and jealousy from her over their connection. But as soon as he turned to her and asked that question, her jealousy turned to amusement.

"I was thinking of renting one of those tropical islands," he continued. "You know, the ones that have a cove. I bet it would be perfect for snorkeling."

He hadn’t been thinking about vacation at all, but he needed something to ask Madison, and spending winter break somewhere warm was the first thing that came to mind. Stetle winters were usually grey and wet and rarely had the decency to snow.

Out of the corner of his eye, he noticed Evalyn fuss with her robe, but she didn’t pull it closed or cover her lower thighs with it.

Madison smirked for a moment, then it hit her. He could actually do that! Her smirk turned to a delighted grin as she said, "You know what? That sounds lovely! Are you going to buy a yacht to take us there?"

"No. I think it’s a waste of money to buy one right now. And while we could rent one, Samantha gets motion sickness, so it would be better to fly."

"Has she tried scopolamine?" asked Evalyn.

He turned to her and said, "She gets bad side effects from scopolamine. Other over-the-counter drugs sort of work as long as she stays topside and keeps her eyes on the horizon, but as soon as she goes below decks, she blows chunks."

"That’s unfortunate."

He nodded. "Yes, but I’m sure someone will invent a proper cure for motion sickness soon enough."

They continued to chat, and soon the ladies attending to his and Madison’s feet returned.

Then shortly after, the lady attending to Evalyn finished wrapping her feet, and departed.

As soon as the lady attending to Evalyn left the room, Evalyn slid down in her chair and spread her legs wider, giving Jack an unobstructed view of her hairless celebrity slit.
