Modern Times

I stop at the landing outside my bedroom before heading downstairs. Looking down at the living room of my penthouse atop The Waynewright Building. This sure beats the one room wooden hovel with a grass roof I was born in over 250 years ago. My elegant antique furnishings oddly go well with the modern setting.

Yes I've come a long way. I live a life my long dead brothers and sisters could only dream of. I chuckle to myself as I think of all the modern conveniences we have, if someone mentioned half these things back when I was human they'd have been burned at the stake.

We men have come a long way as well. We can now legally own property and have jobs outside the home. Thirty years ago we gained the right to vote.

I can do business as myself whereas in the past I needed a frontwoman to conduct my business for me.

I've-- we have come a long way. I start walking down the stairs then into the kitchen. Sidney is sitting at the table pouring over bills and other paperwork. She raises her head as I enter and adjusts her eyeglasses.

"Ah good your here. I need --- ohh dear!" She quickly turns her head looking the other way." Your uhmm -- ah your breast is -- I can see your breast."

My red silk robe has come loose and my right boob is exposed. While my exposure is unintentional her reaction is somewhat amusing. Women get all out of sorts at the sight of our tits. I have half a mind to tease her about it. Instead I say nothing as I adjust my robe and tighten the sash around my waist.

I'm trying my best not to grin." I'm sorry Sid. Honestly I am. I'll come down fully dressed from now on."

She turns her attention back to me with a sly grin on her face, a face as red as my robe." Oh that's quite alright. These things happen. I didn't mind ,not one bit."

Of course you didn't mind Sid you dirty dog you. I swear the way women obsess over our bodies. I bet she has quite the collection of dirty magazines stashed away in her room. Actually I shouldn't think that especially since I've benefited and exploited the way women look at us. It makes hunting that much easier.

"Still I'm sorry Sid. I guess I need to get used to having a woman in the house again. I'll go up and change okay. Then we can get today's business done."
