WE WERE SITTING on the couch watching Deadwood. Timothy Oliphant is Lisa's hall pass. If I were into guys, he'd probably be mine too.
Lisa had one arm around my neck, with her other hand on my ribs and the side of her face pressed against my chest. She squirmed and touched me with her hands and face in a certain way that got my attention. "Marcie's having a party this weekend."
Lisa keeps me on my toes, on occasion literally. I've become more feminine lately, though not in the sense that you might expect because of frequent pegging. I think I've become better at reading and interpreting other people's emotions, which is, fairly or not, a skill associated with women. Even in my suddenly aroused state, I knew we were going to Marcie's party.
The idea of going to a party during the pandemic seemed unlikely to me though. How could it be safe? "That doesn't seem very smart."
"All the guests will be tested when they arrive. She's got an Abbott box."
I thought a minute. "Ok, I know what that is, but do you?"
She laughed and ruffled my hair. "I don't know what it is either, but supposedly it can do Covid tests in 5 minutes. She got it from work." Marcie is a department head at Parkland hospital.
"They let her take one home?"
"You know Marcie. She always gets her way."
I didn't really know Marcie, but I did know she had gotten her way with Lisa in college. Tying her up, spanking her, fucking her every which way. When Lisa told me about that I'd been both turned on and jealous.
When Lisa told me Marcie wanted to do the same things to me I'd been scared. Marcie is formidable.
I almost asked Lisa if she wanted to go but I already knew. Instead I asked, "What kind of party is it?"
"Sort of an Eyes Wide Shut party, I think."
"I never saw that."
"Me neither. But ... it's like an anonymous orgy. With BDSM, although I'm not sure if the movie had BDSM. Marcie has dropped some hints."
"I'll go with you. What I don't want is ..."
"Tell me what, baby."
I considered my words. I don't own Lisa and she doesn't own me.
"I don't want to share you with anyone, Lisa."
Wrapping me in her arms she kissed me. "Baby, I'm all yours and only yours."
"I don't want to be with anyone else, either. It's not like I don't ever get turned on, but I don't want things between us to change in a bad way."
With her hand behind my head, she gently kissed my chin. "I don't think sharing you with someone would necessarily be a problem, but I don't want to risk it if you don't."
I had gone from couch potato to "I need you now!" in minutes. I fumbled to free myself from around my boxer briefs and pull her panties aside to get myself in.
The last thing she said was whispered into my lips. "No one is going to try to make you do anything you don't want to."
That turned out to not be true.
WHEN WE ARRIVED at the party, we were swabbed and tested for Covid, and our fingers were pricked to test for STDs. Going into the party would be like traveling to a time after we had antibiotics but before AIDS. It made me feel a little reckless.
We were in costume. Rather than outright S/M gear we'd decided on a Rocky Horror Picture Show theme. She was dressed as Magenta. I had wanted to go as Riff Raff, she had wanted me to go as Frankenfurter. We compromised on Rocky, which might have been worse than Frankenfurter. Gold lamè short shorts and nothing else. I didn't really feel comfortable going topless to an orgy, but Lisa, like Marcie, gets her way.
We had looked at the trailer for Eyes Wide Shut, and wondered if we should wear masks. Lisa summed it up for us both. "If I can socialise with people without wearing a fucking mask this one fucking night, there's no fucking way I'm wearing one." Well said.
I'd expected the party to be at Marcie's house. It was a beautiful rambling mansion that somehow reminded me of a French chateaux, at least from the outside. We were instead at a dungeon belonging to a local S&M group, chosen for the atmosphere and apparatus, I guessed.
There was plenty of both. The place was dimly lit with a smoky haze that must have come from a fog machine, though I didn't see it. The walls were covered with a fake rock surface that simulated an underground torture chamber. There was equipment everywhere. Medieval apparatus like stocks, wheels and crosses for binding. Iron shackles attached to walls. Whips and floggers on racks.
Many of these were being used. Men and women restrained and being whipped and fucked while they moaned and screamed. Many of the activities had audiences. I looked at Lisa. "This seems pretty ... extreme."
She looked discomfited, and said, "Let's go into the next room."
We moved into a chamber with more comfortable furnishings and a less threatening decor. The walls were covered with a red flocking material right out of the seventies. There were couches and padded benches, many occupied with couples and threesomes. It was still beyond my experience, and I felt uncomfortable, but I didn't feel a need to flee. "I know they tested all of us before we came in, but I hope they hosed this place down before we got here."
She poked me with an elbow and whispered, "Shh!"
I whispered back, "Wait for me while I go to the car and get my UV light? I have a theory I want to test."
She giggled and spoke under her breath. "Stop! People are going to think we're making fun of them!"
We did seem to be attracting an unwarranted amount of attention. Even from people you would expect to be busy with their own activities.
"Is it my imagination, or are a lot of people staring at us?"
She looked around. "Maybe. I kind of thought this might happen."
"Wait, what?"
"Well, you are a hunk, baby. Especially in those shorts."
I snorted. "With the gym closed I'm two cookies away from a dad bod. What is it really?"
"You're a hunk, never doubt it. But also ..." Uncharacteristically she hesitated. "We might be a bit famous here."
