The jam started before I even reached the motorway. There was no turning back; I had been fined for reversing off the slip road on a previous occasion. I turned the radio on to hear that; "We are getting reports of an accident on the M60 clockwise." I should have turned it on earlier, but the alternative routes were through the outskirts of the city, I would have to sit it out. The broadcast moved on to the usual banal mix of banter and pop. I switched to CD. Another mistake, the whole thing went off, no display, nothing. An inauspicious start to my 'Indulgence break.'
My divorce had become final at midnight. I was single again. I had booked two nights in a five star hotel in a town about 50 miles away. A luxury department store had just opened a branch there, that was phase one of my indulgence break; some retail therapy. Phase two? I intended to get myself well and truly fucked.
No progress. No music to distract me. A police car, blues and twos at full bore, nudged its way past on the hard shoulder. I shuddered slightly; it reminded me of the circumstances that had brought me here.
My marriage had lasted two years, including the five-month wait for the divorce. I was completely smitten by the man I married and it was good while it lasted. We were both sexually active and experienced when we met, but it was lust at first sight for both of us, we could not get enough of each other, time spent away from each other was unbearable. Marriage had been his idea and I had agreed. We were both well paid, so we could buy a good house in a good suburb, the sex was spectacular. What could go wrong?
Two things marred our otherwise perfect life together, one of them I will come back to. The other? Ben (my ex) was subject to unpredictable spells of depression when things did not go to plan. His plan.
The way he found to overcome the moods was both exciting and dangerous; he would take me to pubs and clubs known for trouble, having encouraged me to dress provocatively; low cut dresses that threatened to spill tit, or deeply plunging necklines, or if the dress had a high neck, no bra, so that my nipples were on show. I had to be 'on show' below the waist too; very short skirts that showed the tops of my stockings when I sat.
I enjoyed being on display, it was the reverse of how I behaved in my job, a paragon of business-suited efficiency. But if another man did anything other than look, Ben would confront him, leading to some nasty, and unnecessary, incidents. Ben always 'won' these duels. He would be so pumped up that he seemed to radiate evil. A sensitive opponent soon backed down, less sensitive ones usually retreated bloody. These primitive encounters not only restored his self-confidence, but also resulted in a surge of his male hormones, ending in me being fucked vigorously and repeatedly when we got home. In this condition, Ben could come two or three times in rapid succession. I was not about to complain about that, our fucking was normally gentle and loving, but I soon found that I liked it rough now and again.
It was obvious to me that Ben would eventually meet his match. And if I was the prize... Salvation came in the form of his boss, Derek. Derek owned the prestige car dealership where Ben was head salesman. We were invited to a party at Derek's house. Not a special occasion, just drinks and conversation with friends. Derek's friends. And their wives. Six couples in all. Not knowing what to expect, Ben wore a suit but no tie, and I wore a pretty, but non-revealing, cocktail dress. The suit was the right choice, but not the dress. Far too sober. The other women wore clothes that would get them arrested if worn in public; either see-through or revealing by the way they were draped. Mine was the only bra in the room, and probably the only knickers. As the evening wore on and the alcohol took hold, things became flirty, but nothing more.
Before we left for home, it was agreed that we should repeat the experience, this time at a different house, in about a month's time. We discussed the event in the taxi home, agreeing that we would opt out if there was any suggestion of it becoming a partner-swapping event. Ben came home from work the following Monday, with the news that the hosts for the next party had decided that it should be fancy dress, or more correctly, 'themed'. The theme chosen was 'Forties'.
Rather than hire fancy dress, Ben and I decided that we would try to find genuine forties clothes. It would be more fun that way. We were soon reminded that for most of the forties, clothing was rationed, so if we insisted on keeping true to the period, our garb would be drab to say the least. Ben found a Royal Air Force uniform in excellent condition, complete with underwear. But I struggled. My vision was something like Rachel in 'Blade Runner', probably inaccurate, but very sexy. I eventually found the dress, black, pencil skirted and with padded shoulders. Genuine undies were just as unavailable. I had to settle for 'in the style of.' Silk cami-knickers in bright red. Gorgeous! I even had my hair done 'Rachel style'.
As we dressed for the party, and feeling horny, I showed Ben that the crotch of the pants was closed by press-studs, for easy access.
"No need," he said, "I could fuck you up the leg of them."
A nod is as good as a wink, as they say. Our first fuck of the evening was against the bedroom wall, with one of my legs raised and hooked over his hip while he rooted deep into my dripping cunt up the wide leg of the garment. Echoes of Blade Runner!
At the party, it turned out that dressing up was an excuse for inhibitions to be discarded, and couples started to get amorous. Between partners - there was no suggestion of swapping. Our host for that evening, Alan, had already declared that the bedrooms were available, should we feel the need. Nick and Gemma, another couple, obviously felt the need. We did not see them slip away, but the rhythmic creaking of the bed in the room above, closely followed by their orgasmic cries, needed no explaining.
They returned looking slightly guilty. Derek, a rather brash man, asked loudly;
"Did you enjoy that?"
Someone else said; "We all did!"
"We will sell tickets next time," retorted Gemma defensively.
Derek said that he would hold her to that, someone else offered to buy tickets in advance. It all added to the general, uninhibited horniness of the event. And we were all just a bit tipsy by then.
By the time we got home I was gagging for it. And Ben did not disappoint. We did not make it to the bedroom, or even upstairs. He fucked me from behind on the stairs. This time with the poppers undone. And twice more when we did get to the bed!
The parties became a much safer substitute for the bar brawls; Ben could show me off in safety. I was younger and according to Ben, significantly more attractive than the other wives. Ben was the winner just by 'owning' the most desirable partner. The depressions stopped.
The themes became more adventurous, costumes became skimpier and eventually, during a 'roaring twenties' party, one of the men pulled up his partners skirt and fucked her from behind in full view of all the guests. Nobody objected. Things had simply escalated.
We expected that the next party would be rather wild, and we were right. The theme was ancient Rome. Ben went as a senator and I was a serving wench. My tunic could be adjusted to leave one breast exposed, but I was to keep it hidden unless any of the other women showed theirs. Of course they did. There was more tit on display than at a strip club. Jill, Derek's partner, came as Cleopatra. Cleo of course is reputed to have spent much of the time topless. Jill was true to the legend, her fine, full breasts fully on display.
