Introduction - I am unexpectedly bound to my boss
At the time of these events which occurred late September, three summers ago, I had just turned 38 years old. I was (and still am) working in a law office in North Houston. Both of my sons had returned to college, so Jim and I were 'empty nesters' and had a little extra freedom around the house.
To celebrate the end of summer, and the start of football season, we had a BBQ/pool party at our home. If you have read any of my previous adventures (exposing Cindy series), you know we have a large, secluded back yard with a pool with waterfall, and a large hot tub/spa. The yard was perfect for entertaining.
One of the guests was a lawyer who recently joined the firm. In actuality, he was one of my bosses. Curtis was a tall, very handsome black man who had a powerful build and a commanding presence. He was articulate, poised and confident with a pleasant, engaging smile.
He seemed to always show up at company functions unescorted, and after making an obligatory appearance, Curtis would usually make an early, but polite exit. The early exits, coupled with his reserved but confident demeanor, gave Curtis a mysterious quality that seemed to drive the single girls in the office absolutely nuts. He was the subject or much 'water cooler' gossip and speculation. Truth be told, if I had been single, I would have lusted after him myself; but as a happily married woman, I simply put these thoughts out of my head.
Linda, who was a legal clerk in the office, seemed to be absolutely obsessed by Curtis. She was recently divorced and had gotten a bit of a reputation of being 'easy'. Rumor had it she was systematically working her way through all of the firm's partners and associates, married and single alike; and it seemed to vex her that Curtis was not eager to join her list of conquests; but that was not for lack of Linda's trying. She was anything but subtle.
The party was going well, the guests were enjoying themselves, and the margaritas and beer were flowing freely. I was on my second margarita, and beginning to feel relaxed, when I saw Linda and Curtis chatting by the waterfall. Linda had been staking out her territory around Curtis, flirting shamelessly despite the signals that Curtis was sending that he would prefer to mingle with other guests.
Curtis was wearing a white polo shirt and white shorts with sandals that contrasted his muscular ebony build quite nicely. Linda wore a yellow, halter sun dress that showed a bit too much cleavage. She was a tall, leggy, brunette with large brown eyes and an ample bosom. Unlike me, who has small, perky breasts, Linda had 'hooters' that men seem to die for. It pissed me off that most men preferred her 'size 38D rack' to my size 34B 'little titties'! But even I had to admit that she was a sexy looking woman; however, her forward, aggressive style did not seem to working on her selected prey tonight.
Around 9:30 p.m., Curtis began making noise that he could not stay late as he had another engagement later in the evening. When Linda heard this, she explained loudly that she was going to make sure he did not make an early retreat tonight. She reached into her purse and removed something, and suddenly took his wrist in one hand, and placed one cuff from a pair of handcuffs around his wrist, as we watched somewhat amazed and stunned. Holding the other cuff, she led Curtis over to me. He followed her with a strange look as he tried to figure out what she was up to. Linda then took my left wrist before I could think or react, and cuffed Curtis and me together. Both Curtis and I looked at each other in disbelief.
My first thought was 'where in the hell did Linda get a pair of handcuffs?'. I wondered what kind of kinky shit she was into that she would have a pair of handcuffs? But immediately my thoughts went to the embarrassment of being handcuffed to my boss in front of my neighbors and co-workers.
"Cindy, you are in charge of keeping track of Curtis tonight and making sure he does not give us the slip. Since you are married, I can trust you to behave yourself; him, I am not too sure about." Linda said in a blatantly flirtatious manner.
I blushed deeply at the sudden and unexpected attention that was being thrust upon me. I could feel my face burn crimson as I looked at Curtis, and at our guests, trying to figure out how to react, and what to do. For a moment I was speechless.
Curtis smiled and said calmly, "Linda, this is all very amusing, but I think you are embarrassing Cindy. You need to remove these cuffs."
"Nonsense, Cindy knows this is an honor. She understand that she is to be entrusted guarding you tonight. She needs to make sure you don't give us the slip again." Linda said before scurrying off to the bar, leaving Curtis and me chained together.
I looked around and saw my husband, Jim approaching trying to discern what was happening. Before I could explain the situation to Jim, Curtis said, "Cindy, I am sorry about this. Linda gets a bit carried away." Then Curtis looked to Jim and said, "Jim, it seems one of your guests has chained me to your wife. I hope you are OK with this until we can talk some sense into her."
"Curtis, I understand completely. And just so you know, there is no one better to be chained to than Cindy." Jim joked and gave Curtis a wink that was meant to let him know that my husband was not upset by this.
Jim then turned to me and said, "Cindy, why don't you take Curtis over and get him another drink. I will try to get Linda to outline the terms of your release."
I was not sure how to feel, or what to say as Curtis led me over to the bar area where we each got a margarita. I could feel the stares of several of my office workers as they tried to assess the situation. I was embarrassed, but there was nothing I could do. Besides there was something appealing about being coupled at the wrist with this very large, very attractive black man.
I was wearing a red and black, one piece bathing suit and sandals. I had taken a white sarong and wrapped around my waist, making a skirt that covered the bottom half of my one-piece bathing suit. The sarong opened as I walked showing off a good bit of leg. I seemed to be the only person at the party wearing a swim suit despite the fact that it was supposed to be a pool party. None of the guests had entered the water.
The suit was form fitting and flattering, but not obscene. But suddenly, in response to my embarrassment and excitement at being chained together with Curtis, I realized my nipples were now fully erect and were poking out like firm pebbles, obvious to anyone's gaze, including Curtis; and there wasn't anything I could do to hide my erect nipples from anyone's and everyone's gaze.
Curtis and I each got another margarita and sat together and chatted innocently. Although he had worked in our office for some time now, this was really the first time that he and I had really talked. I found him intelligent, charming and pleasant. We each had three large margaritas as we visited over the next hour. I could feel the tequila relaxing me quite a bit. I wondered when Linda was going to end this silly game, but I was honestly enjoying the situation, and Curtis's attention.
I started to feel a fullness in my bladder that reminded me that I had not peed in some time. "Curtis, I hate to end our wonderful conversation here but I need to pee. Where the hell is Linda?"
"Funny you should say that, but so do I. I should not have had that last margarita. She is over by the waterfall. Let's go have her put an end to this silliness." Curtis said as he stood and started to lead towards our warden.
We approached Linda and explained the situation, and our dire need to empty our overfull bladders. Linda smile coyly, and after some cajoling, relented fished out a key from her purse and attempted to release the handcuffs. The key did not seem to fit the keyhole on the cuffs.
Linda fumbled for several moments, obviously becoming flustered before announcing, "Shit, shit, shit. I can't believe I did this."
"What? What did you do?" I asked in a panic.
"I grabbed the wrong key. I am so sorry. I will run home and get the right one. I am so sorry." She said in obvious panic.
"Linda, you live in Sugarland. That is over an hour from here. It will take you more than two hours to make the round trip. Goddamn it!" I was pissed.
Curtis expressed his intense displeasure at Linda as well as she scurried out the door with promises to be back momentarily. I knew we had at least two hours before she could make the round trip back to Sugarland in southwest Houston back to the Woodlands well north of the city.
