I'm going to Brandon's if you want a ride,
said my text from my friend Moyer.
That dude? I don't know if I want to hang out with him all day.
Brandon was this guy Moyer met at a private club we sometimes went to, mostly for the music, which was more our scene than the recycled pop bouncing out of every other bar. But he seemed to have become intrigued by the "alternative lifestyle" thing going on at this place in his last couple of conversations with Brandon as the liquor flowed. I had been creeped out by the guy, who had that sort of overly-muscled, barely-repressed aggression vibe. He was outwardly friendly, though, and had ended up inviting us to watch a game with him the last time we saw him, mentioning his sound system.
Do I have to remind you we're broke and this guy has Sunday ticket and beer? Picking you up.
Brandon lived on the Southside, where the neighborhoods had little character, but people could build, do whatever they wanted with their yards. His place was pretty unassuming but there was a huge, expensive motorcycle in the open garage.
"He said just to walk in. The TV's in the basement and he won't hear us knock," Moyer muttered as we approached the front door. I just stuck my hands in my pockets. This was his deal.
It was cool and dark inside, all the windows covered up against the bright fall day. As my eyes struggled to adjust, I followed Moyer across a dim living room to a hallway, towards the faint sounds of a television. The noise of the commercial got louder as we reached the basement door, our feet soundless on the carpet.
"Uh, Brandon?" His voice was too soft. "Brandon?" He called louder.
"Down here!"
Brandon leaned his head over the back of a leather recliner as we descended the stairs into the basement. "Glad you could make it," he was saying as I looked over the massive TV, the impressive speaker setup and stereo equipment, and the bar area to one side of his finished lower level. "Beer in the fridge over there."
"Thanks," I started to say, but at the same time, Moyer said, "Holy shit!"
He was standing several feet in front of me, his mouth was open, and his eyes were riveted to Brandon's lap.
I moved to look over the top edge of the recliner. I took a step, and also stopped in my tracks. It was a pussy. Not in Brandon's lap, but in front of him. She was on her back, lying on a large ottoman in front of his chair. From my vantage point, I could only see her thighs and her knees, which were spread wide, and her completely bare pussy between them, and a bit of her smooth, flat tummy. As I stared I realized that there was some kind of tie around her legs and her feet were actually tucked up against her butt. Her calves were tied to her thighs.
"What the fuck, man?" Moyer's face was turning red. I felt rooted to the spot, and, hideously, the stirrings of a hard-on.
"Gentlemen, this is my girlfriend, Amy," Brandon said in a smug tone which instantly annoyed me. "I'd introduce her, but she's busy." He was still turning his head around to talk to us but at this point he focused his attention back on the girl and suddenly, with a crisp
Snap
!, he whipped some kind of implement down on her right inner thigh. I hadn't noticed before, but her legs were marked with angry red marks. "Amy's usually here on the weekend," Brandon was saying. "We had a training issue to deal with today."
"Let's just go, man," I murmured to Moyer, trying to pull him back up the stairs. As hot as that woman's half-body was, this was freaky shit.
"Look, man, this is your private business," Moyer was saying.
"Amy's not shy," Brandon said. "Come see for yourself. Just observe if you want. Or not. Just watch the game."
