Melissa looked in the mirror one more time. Turning half back and front, she checked out her dress, her shoes, and her hair. All had to look perfect for tonight; her 30th class reunion. She never made it to her 20th because she and her husband Gary had to deal with her mother's severe illness. Thank God she recovered, but there were some sleepless nights for those several weeks. However this time, the 30th, was even more important than the 20th. Back during the time of the 20th, she and Gary were still on very good terms in their marriage. Unfortunately, the past ten years had brought many changes in their relationship, and Melissa had learned to enjoy her strong sexuality, even if Gary didn't want to participate along with her. It seemed that she was moving into overdrive, and Gary was putting on the brakes.
For the past 5 years or so, Melissa had been undergoing what might even be called a "mid life crisis", most often thought of as something relative to men. Certainly, Melissa's situation was much the same thing. She had grown and blossomed a lot more than Gary relative to her sexual appetite, especially for what many would call kinky sex. She had found that she was not just interested, but highly aroused by bondage and discipline, and dominance and submission. She had always felt somewhat sexually submissive, but these "submissive" feelings that started about 8-9 years ago were getting stronger and stronger. She craved being bound and taken sexually in every way imaginable while she was totally helpless. She was turned on by being spanked and flogged and having her butt smacked with things like a crop and a wooden ruler and a paddle. The stinging pain along and humiliation followed by penetration of her pussy, ass, or mouth was a strong turn-on, almost to the point of addiction. She craved it more and more. Unfortunately, Gary did not share her feelings and found it difficult, nearly impossible, to give her what she wanted.
Gary had always been a very quiet and gentle man, perhaps almost submissive himself. He could not bring himself to spank her or take her forcefully. He seemed unable or unwilling to "use her" sexually as she wished. It had lead to many "discussions" and arguments. She had tried to be communicative, even gave Gary some books to read and got some videos to show her the kinds of things she craved. However, Gary was way too "vanilla" as she had learned to call him. Finally, Melissa and Gary came to an agreement that would allow them to continue in their marriage rather than split up. Gary basically gave her a "hall pass" to enjoy what she needed with other men as long as she was very careful and totally discreet. Melissa had found several men with whom to have the sort of relationship that she wanted. They were actually married men who faced similar situations with their wives. They were the mirror image of her and Gary. Melissa even found that Gary liked to know about her relationships and her activities with these other men. It seemed to even turn him on, and that's when Melissa realized that Gary genuinely enjoyed his cuckold role in their new relationship.
Tonight was important to Melissa because she had hoped to re-connect with Jason, her old school sweetheart. Jason was her first love, and they had given each other their virginity. Back then she often even felt that they would someday be married, but after they both went off to separate colleges, they lost touch. In less than a year, they never even contacted each other anymore. She had numerous other boyfriends during college, and her first few years as a young working woman, but eventually she met and married Gary. At the time, they seemed perfect for each other, but after about 11-12 years of marriage, Melissa began feeling bored and trapped. She felt stifled sexually but also recognized her responsibility to her kids and Gary. In truth, she still loved Gary, but he just didn't seem to understand that love and erotic, often kinky sex are two different things. One was tender and caring, the other dark, animal, and physical. Ideally they should be joined into the perfect relationship, but Gary just didn't seem to "get it."
In the announcement sent out several months before the 30th reunion, Melissa noticed that Jason planned to attend. His name was on the list of people helping to arrange the reunion along with his e-mail address. After some soul searching, Melissa decided to message him, and they started a regular communication. She learned that Jason and his wife had lived in another state for over 20 years. However he had been transferred back into the area about 6 years ago and he lived in a nearby town about 40 miles away.
Eventually, Melissa and Jason started opening up about their marriages, and the issues associated with their sex lives started surfacing. She told Jason about her interest in some kinky things, and he pretty much admitted to some himself. She learned that he was married, but he hinted that his marriage was a bit unconventional was Melissa's. He didn't elaborate, but Melissa took it as a hint that he might be "available" in a manner similar to the way she was. For that reason, she planned to attend the festivities without Gary and try to assess the potential of somehow reconnecting with Jason whom she had thought about often over the years. She and Jason had made arrangements to sit at the same table.
The banquet and dance was very elegant, but at first, the meeting with Jason had been a bit awkward. Of course there was the fact that both Melissa and Jason had put on a few pounds, but they were both in exceptional shape for people nearly 50. What surprised and slightly disappointed her at first was that he was there with his wife. Melissa wondered if he indeed had the same intention of "hooking up" as she did. After some conversation with the two of them, she learned that Jason and his wife Karen had done some swinging and were into certain types of BDSM type activity. They were very careful with whom they played, but when Melissa contacted Jason and initiated an ongoing discussion, hinting that she and her husband had an "arrangement", both Jason and Karen thought it might be something they could all find mutually enjoyable. Unfortunately, the presence of others at the table made it a bit awkward to talk openly.
After dinner and a few drinks, Jason suggested that rather than hang out at the dance, they should all go to Jason and Karen's house to get to know each other better. Melissa didn't have to be asked twice although she wondered a little where it was all headed. She called Gary and told him that she had decided to go have a few drinks with some old friends so he shouldn't wait up for her. She could be quite late.
Melissa followed Jason and Karen to a really nice house about 25 miles from the hall where the reunion was being held. They made themselves comfortable in the living room and Jason opened a bottle of wine. At first the conversation was just about the house and general things, but soon it moved to some of the e-mail discussions that Melissa and Jason had been having. It was no secret that Melissa had hinted that she and Gary were no longer ideal sex partners and that Melissa's tastes had progressed from pure vanilla to some things a bit more erotic and kinky. Jason and Karen opened up and told her that they had themselves gotten into some more adventurous sex play and had several couples with whom they enjoyed group activity. Karen asked if Melissa was bisexual and if she had enjoyed threesomes. Melissa tried not to act like a newbie, but indicated that although she had enjoyed some interesting fun with other men, she had never had a threesome. She also said that she had often wondered what it would be like to enjoy sexual contact with a woman and even though she and some of her girlfriends in college had tried a little kissing and fondling, it had never progressed to true intimate contact. As she talked, she hoped that she didn't seem too naïve for Jason and Karen, but the two of them seemed quite understanding and nice.
"Well Melissa," Karen said. "Perhaps tonight may be the opportunity to explore both fantasies. Did Jason tell you about our little play room? It's something we did about a year ago now that both of our boys are away at college. Come. Let's show you."
The three of them proceeded to the kitchen and down to the basement which was finished as a very nice recreation and TV room. Karen retrieved a key from behind a bookcase. She walked over to a door on the side wall which she thought perhaps went to the furnace room, but when Karen opened it and turned on a subdued red light, Melissa could see that it was indeed a room that looked like her image of a dungeon. On the far wall were a collection of D-rings mounted at about two foot intervals running at the same two foot intervals from floor to ceiling. There were several hooks on the ceiling and a small block and tackle sort of hoist. Recessed in the floor were many "D rings" which she suspected could be used to restrain someone. On one adjacent wall was an assortment of equipment including floggers, crops, paddles, and switches as well as leather cuffs and straps, blindfolds, hoods, ball gags, and other sorts of harnesses. One looked like one of those slings she had seen in a catalog that suspended a person from the ceiling with their legs open and their crotch and ass vulnerable. There was something she recognized as a violet wand, but had never experienced one. The other two walls were floor to ceiling mirrors.
Melissa had heard about dungeon rooms and seen pictures of them, but she had never actually been in one. She was fascinated and a bit turned on by the whole thing. She imagined Jason and Karen playing together and with other couples. She felt her heart thumping in her chest and could feel the heat and moisture in her crotch. Her knees were quivering a little as she walked over to the wall and felt some of the crops and floggers and the cuffs. She sat on the bench and rubbed her hand over the leather cover. She could only imagine the number of women that had been fucked on it, or spanked on it or men sitting on it being serviced orally by bound and blindfolded women on their knees.
Karen sat next to her. "Pretty nice isn't it?" she said. "We've had some interesting times in here. Have you ever had any experiences in a room like this?"
"No, never," Karen admitted quietly. "My experiences have been in motels or in the homes of others, but not in any specialized place like this, something specifically designed for kinky sex. I'm still taking it in."
Karen put her arm over Melissa's shoulder in a friendly way, but her touch sent shivers through her body.
Karen asked, "After what Jason told me about your recent conversations and how you guys were intimate way back when, we hoped that you might want to join us tonight for some play. Please say that you're interested."
Melissa hesitated for a moment, but she had to admit to herself that she had wanted to be with Jason tonight. He hadn't considered the notion of his wife being part of it. However, given her adventures over the past few years, she was indeed interested in letting the evening progress in any way that could be imagined.
"Yes," she said looking at Karen. "Yes," she said again looking at Jason.
"Fantastic!" Jason said. "We were hoping you'd say that. I want you to understand Melissa that we won't do anything you don't really want to do yourself. You will be the one setting the boundaries, and if you truly want to stop or talk about it, we will honor that. You told me that bondage and discipline are things that you like, but we don't want to push you into areas you don't want. We will try to push you to your limit, but if you start to feel uncomfortable, just say "Code Yellow" and we'll talk about it. If you want to end things completely, just say "Code Red" and we'll honor that. We want you to enjoy the journey as we will, but our purpose is hopefully for you to want to be part of our future so we aren't going to do anything to turn you against us."
Melissa nodded, "I understand. I trust you both and I do want to share myself with you both. I just hope you understand that I've never really interacted with a woman, and that my tolerance may be lower than you're used to."
"Understood," Karen said rubbing her hand on Melissa's neck and back. "Understood. Don't worry. You're in good hands."
