It's noon at Martinique Prison. The general population moves
about a large area and sits around tables.
"I'm Jake in the cell next to you, mind if I sit?"
"Pearce Edwards - sure sit."
"Edwards, what brings an American to lovely Martinique
Prison?"
"Murder. What's it to you Jake?"
"We don't see many Americans. Most qualify for extradition.
You're a very bad boy, Edwards."
"It's a long story Jake."
"Here's a taste, Edwards. Maybe that will loosen you up?"
"Good stuff Jake - thanks. I'm still not sure when during
the trip I lost control, or what happened. My wife Melanie loves
to tango and salsa - we were out on the town when it all began."
Her name was Marrient and his Jonquière. She, a tall sultry
French woman, he, a striking dark Jamaican, live in Martinique.
Enticement is their stock and trade, marking young good-looking
tourists during their stay. Each night, at Club Vojenga, they
tango as no others ever have.
Marrient undulates, nude, underneath silk's caress. Her vapor
and fine perfume stimulates the fantasies of men and women.
Transfixed by every move - all eyes on Marrient are hungry.
Jonquière's commanding domination ripples his seamless
body suit, all sigh, men and women. Jealously, he grabs Marrient's
hair, jerking her head to his chest. She pushes him, and they
part, spin dancing from each other.
Marrient's legs move up and down Jonquière, dipping bodies
near the floor, as their feet glide to music powered sex. Other
dancers clear the floor; we're all enthralled captives until
the orgasmic pulsing tango ends.
A crowd throngs around their celebrities. Local business associates
introduce us. We dance, have a few drinks, and continue the
party at their place. Jonquière and Marrient, charming
professional dancers, own an opulent ocean view estate. I thought
it odd, that dancers lived so well.
Their tropical hillside estate, with spectacular views of Martinique
Bay, is just ten minutes from Club Vojenga. Structural steel
walls and glass create 360-degree views, large his and her dance
studios on either side of the living area dominate.
They met five years ago at a casino in Freeport Grand Bahama,
moved in together and that's all I know. When Melanie tells
them who we are, they feign interest, but they knew all about
us. Perhaps our local associates spoke of us.
Melanie and Jonquière leave Marrient and me in the living
room. I use their phone to answer a page, there's a gun in the
top drawer. Marrient asks how my business is going. We flirt
and arrange to join them at the club next evening.
We return to Club Vojenga, Marrient, Jonquière and tango
intrigue. Throughout the evening they dance with opposite and
same sex partners. Melanie and Marrient are all over each other
as they dance. Jonquière and I drink and watch our partners
dance.
"What do you think of that Pearce?"
"Exciting Jonquière, but it makes me feel, oh hell,
I don't know."
"Jealousy is a tempest of human nature Pearce, unpredictable
and dangerous, nothing's more arousing. Viagra, cocaine, pornography,
a fetish, nothing inflames passion like jealousy. Control and
use it like the slut it is!
"When Marrient tangos with others, it drives me mad. I
cut in and dominate not because I want to - because I have to.
"Those who watch us dance every night are mad with envy,
vicariously satisfying their urge to dominate. Submission is
not part of the tango. It's lead, follow and lead again, a fight
for control. Undressed and caressed by all eyes - caught in
the act - this is thrilling.
"Melanie and Marrient are dancing - making love, are you
jealous? Which one boils your blood? Who must you have?"
"Both, Jonquière."
"You do get it Pearce! How long will you be staying?"
"That depends. My technology company merges with a major
international player next month. Melanie and I thought Martinique
would clear our heads before our year long reorganization. We're
open.
"Which of our women do you want Jonquière?"
"Melanie of course - Marrient is mine," he laughed.
"I'm curious Jonquière, you and Marrient live very
well for dancers."
"Please call me Jon, and Marrient - Marie. We do yearly
tours, give private lessons to the rich and famous, we have
investments and Marie's parents are moneyed."
That evening at their estate, Melanie and I decide to take
dance lessons from Jon and Marie. We became very
