Part Three

Honey Suckle and Delilah stood in Victoria’s Secret dressing rooms trying on new panties.
“What do you think of these black lace ones?” Delilah asked Honey as she twirled in the mirror and glanced over her shoulder at her ass.
“Cute. What happened to your last set just like those?”
Delilah picked up the matching bra and stripped from the one she was wearing. “Ripped off by the Mr. Muscles-Want-To-Be.”
Honey laughed. They all knew the business suit. They usually called the regulars by their nicknames in the Hive. “Let me guess. He can bench press thirty pounds no?”
Delilah adjusted her girls in the bra cups. “Something like that. It’s not like their made of bulled proof material.”
“Exactly.”
Delilah spun in the mirror and nodded to herself. It would do.
“You know I think Iris just bought a set like this in red,” Honey added as she started to pull back on her own clothes.
Delilah frowned. “Did you talk much to Iris this morning?”
“No. Did you?”
“Not really. She seems…. Distant lately,” Delilah was worried about her friend. Iris had her had quickly bonded when Delilah had joined the Hive almost a year ago.
“I think Amelia’s birthday is coming up in a few weeks. Time’s like this she gets emotional and seems farther away. Mentally. Emotionally.”
“It’s understandable. Her daughter is going to be three isn’t it? Just a toddler. It must be hard being without her. Her mother doesn’t let her see her a lot does she?”
“If your daughter was addicted to drugs and running her life into the ground, selling her body for cash, would you want her around your granddaughter?”
Delilah pulled her skinny jeans on and buttoned the snap. “I wish that my grandmother had been like that.”
“You never talk about your family much. Your folks into drugs?”
Delilah adjusted her blouse. “Mom was. I was a high school whoops. My father was of money to, embarrassed to even take a DNA test to see if I was his or not. Didn’t want to disappoint his perfect mother. Mother put half her wage as a cashier at Wal-Mart up her nose and in her veins.”
“She still alive?”
“Over dosed going on four years ago. I was eighteen.”
“I forget you’re just a baby,” Honey kissed her cheek. “We all come from the school of hard knocks. But we make do with what we have. Flower’s she ain’t like other business managers. She cares about us and puts us up somewhere safe and secure. It might be whoring but it’s whoring at the best.”

Part Two


The following morning was the usual. Iris woke in her bed hours after she had sent away her last “date” of the night. Feeling rather cranky she pulled on her black French laced robe and stumbled into her small personal shower.
She stood under the stream of pulsating water hoping to steam and wash off the remains of the night before. After fifteen minutes she felt clean enough and preceded to dress for the day. She sat at her vanity and put on her jewelry. Two rings, a delicate diamond pendant necklace and simple stud earrings.
She opened up a drawer and took out her make-up case and a picture frame. In it was the smiling face and sparking eyes that only could belong to a pink swaddled newborn. That newborn was over three years old now. Amelia Faye was living far away from D.C. in Florida with Iris’s mother. Each morning she looked at that picture as she put on her makeup and tried to conclude how her life had ended up here.
How she ended up a dead beat from a good family. Her two second marriage had ended ugly. Cocaine usage lost her too much. Iris’ mother took Amelia when she was six months old and Iris had run away landing her in a crack house working a corner for her next high. Until she ran into Madam Flowers when she tried selling her wares to one of the Hive’s customers outside of a fancy eatery.
Why Madam didn’t just have her arrested for prostitution and taken away God only knows. But instead Madam took her to the Hive and locked Iris down in the basement until the cravings and with-drawls had passed. Soon enough Madam had her cleaned up and classed up enough to have her working with the other girls. She took on the name Iris. Back then it was Honey Suckle and Rose and another girl who now was far gone.  
Iris applied the last of her eyeliner. Soon Geoff would be pounding on the doors informing them it was far past brunch and if they wanted food they best be getting it somewhere else. For as much as Madam Flowers had tried to tone all of them down she hadn’t been quiet so successful in taming her body guard. As tailored as his suits were and as crisps as his haircuts, only so much street could be taken from the former gang member. Not even ten years of Hive could take it all away.

Part One

“Get ready ladies I open the doors in less than thirty!” the Madam voice that called out could have been described as husky for a woman. The deep alto rang through the Hive and bounced through halls giving the four working girls their warning.
The five bedroom Victorian style mansion once rang out power, money and the elite. Once the rich merchants, politicians, and founding fathers lived in this historical early eighteenth century home. Now it still said the same. Still power, still money, still elite. Only now sex was an added factor.
Now powerful men, rich men, and men of high class came and visited the home. They came for their ladies of the night. Madam Flowers ran the Honey Hive and her group of girls. Four girls who used their minds as well as their bodies to seduce men. To show them a night of magic and take away the loneliness of their fast paced lives. Take the distractions of their work, the fears of their nightmares and the coldness of their wives from their lives and make them vanish like morning dew. The Honey Bees replace it with passion, magic, and pleasure. The girlfriend experience, the exotic dances, the kink, the ultimate fantasies become so realistic that for a moment or two that is their lives. But only for a moment. And it comes for a price.
The Honey Hive wasn’t made up of cheap prostitutes working corners in the drug abused hood. The Bees were upper class and they come for the upper class price.
Madam Flowers sat in her bay window in the third story. Once the spot in the tower was servant’s corridors now it was used as her personal space. She lit a cigarette and inhaled the smoke. She was going to die of something someday. She might as well meet the inevitable doing what she enjoyed. The Marlboro red cowboy killer in her hand was an old habit from a former life. It didn’t fit in with the thirty-five dollar class of wine in her hand but like the dragon tramp stamp she kept it suited her.
The appointment book was solid for the night. Each girl had two dates for the night. The men who had to be home to their families or most importantly couldn’t afford her girls for the whole night came early. From eight until ten the men would be present. Dining on appetizers in the vast and luxurious sitting room, drinking bourbon in the sitting room bar chatting with the other Bees before taking their women to their rooms for their time.
By eleven the girls second dates would be here and would stay until breakfast or until they have had their fill. And after that Madam’s bank account would take in her cut from the girls almost eight hundred dollars and each of the girls would bank their own money.
“You need to unlock the doors Flower,” a man said from behind her.
“Geoff do you think that I’m getting to old?”
The forty-five year old security guard and the only male who resided in the Hive had been Flowers friend since the streets. Since she was working a low grade corner in the lower end of Hollywood and had a strong handed pimp and Geoff was his right hand man.
She saw Geoff smile in the mirror. “Flower you still have yet to even touch your prime yet exceed it. Still the prettiest girl in the whole Hive.”
“I’m forty-one this year.”
“Age is just a number Flower and look how far you have come in the last few years. Now you are the Queen Bee. Everything you ever wanted to be.”
Flowers put out her cigarette and stood careful of her black evening gown and kissed Geoff gently on the cheek. “I better let those horny cheating bastards in before they blow on my front porch.”
“Make sure they leave their trust funds on the front desk and call if you need me.”

***

One by one her girls graced the stairs. Geoff had always called her the Queen Bee so she had felt, when she decided to open her own brothel that it be the Honey Hive. Now her worker bees carried on the tradition. Honey Suckle, Delilah, Iris and Rose now stood waiting gracefully just inside the grand entrance.   
Dressed in sheer, silk, lace and damn near respectable taunting dresses and murderous heels they looked like the women of every man’s dream.
Iris was the houses most exotic taste. Mocha island tanned skin, hair so dark that it put Black Beauty to shame and eyes of stormy sea green. She was limber and could whisper seductive lies in a language unknown to the other Bees.
Delilah was the girl-next-door. Their classy Daisy Duke who looked like everyone’s kid sister and kindergarten teacher. Brown hair that flowed down her back, lean body and baby face she was girl men played out their high school fantasies with.
Rose was the class and style the men choose to date outside the Honey Hive. But in the bedroom she let them explore everything their women wouldn’t let them. Dangerously long blonde hair and long perfectly legs and the bosom warm and welcoming.   
Honey Suckle carried bulk about her. Beauty was in her but however she held it heavier, never fat was she called. However pushing two hundred pounds she was the houses chubby chaser and ridiculously popular. She was just as sexy as the other girls and had zero desire to lose the extra
poundage.
Madam Flower’s wasn’t some drugged up, curb side, pimp from the hood. She choose her girls
carefully and adored them like her own. This was a business, true here in Virginia not as legal as most, but still. This was a business and sex sold. Madam Flowers sells the best out of The Honey Hive.
