Those of you who've read my posts know that I'm not a fan of second-person voice stories - those that say "you did this, and you said this," sort of thing. However, this one just seems to have demanded that, since it's how I think of it, and it's how it happened.
Before I go there, I should say that some months ago, I got a very complimentary email from a mystery person who said he or she really enjoyed a particular story of mine. I was flattered, naturally, and returned the email (it was nondescript - a real mix of numbers and letters at a common free email site), and that started a correspondence, in which it turned out that the mystery sender was a she, and a very sexy one at that as well. Now, I know that it could have been a sweet transvestite from Transsexual Transylvania behind it, but it really seemed genuine, and I decided not to doubt but to go with the flow.
To make a couple of months' worth of correspondence much shorter, it turned out that she had a husband who was encouraging her to experiment sexually with his approval, and that she had almost decided to go along with his kink, or so she considered it at the time. I didn't encourage or discourage that, but was interested in her point of view on the whole thing, since I think that's the hardest for a male write to understand, thus capture in writing. Much of our back and forth was mundane, and it was all email - we exchanged first names, but I never asked her last name, location, phone number, or other info. I did incidentally mention I had a conference in a particular large city coming up, so I might be too busy for a week or so to be conversing, so not to worry if I was silent for a bit.
But I was curious. Along the way I asked her about her own fantasies, and bit by bit she became more explicit. One day, when I'd asked her what in a man she looked for, she came back, saying, "Now my thoughts of my ideal man in the bedroom. He is romantic as in doing little things like flowers, candles, opening doors, soft music, openly showing his affection for me, never in a rush to the bedroom. He is confident knowing what would please me. Experimental in seeing what my limits are, asking me to do things that nobody would believe I would do. A take control type of guy. One who would insist I try his latest fantasy, not taking no for an answer. He can tell no matter what I say if I really did enjoy his latest request. He loves to tease me, making me want more, physically and verbally. Mmmm, this has me imagining and I will be going to work with wet panties. lol I'll be thinking and adding more, my naughty man. This is arousing."
I was just about to go back to her and say just how arousing that in itself was to me, when I saw another email from an address somewhat similarly indecipherable as hers, but related by a couple of digits. I opened it, expecting spam, but it was from her husband, Larry, who said he'd secretly hacked into her email and that he'd enjoyed reading our exchanges. He added that the city my conference was in was close enough to where they lived, and suggested a meeting.
Fascinated to meet my mystery correspondent, leery about meeting her husband, and interested to know more about just how they were handling his erotic fantasies about her, I agreed, and he proposed a tryst, with her not knowing who was there, but that he'd make her available, blindfolded. He said he'd be present as well although he didn't expect to do more than observe, and if things worked out as he hoped, it would be great erotic fun for all three of us.
I'm divorced and enjoying the single life and saw few down sides to what he proposed. I'd never asked about her physical characteristics, so didn't know if she was blonde, brunette, tall, short, over or under weight, or anything else - her language and his did sound white middle class American in the emails, but even that was a guess. I was intrigued, and Larry and I further plotted.
The assigned week came, and I arrived, conference over and done with, my flight back booked for the next day. Larry had them in a suite in a luxury hotel, treating her to a fantasy weekend, he said, and getting her agreement to go along with "anything." He said, and she later corroborated, that she thought it was a romantic thing for him to do, but that all his talk about someone else being involved was just pillow talk. She was enjoying the getaway, though, and had selected what she thought were sexy clothes for the weekend - lingerie and cocktail dress and bikini, not knowing just what to expect.
I arrived at the assigned time, and met Larry in the bar as he'd instructed. "Very casual," he'd said, so I was in nice shorts, polo shirt, sandals - it was summer, and in that city I could have gone to a nice restaurant or a dive in that outfit without the clothes being noticed. Good thinking about meeting in the bar, I figured, in case either of us wanted to back out at first sight of or conversation with the other. He had a bourbon on the bar, and I signaled for one of the same. We shook hands and he said, very much under his breath, "Thanks for coming - you're going to be just right!" (whatever that meant to him). Served and introduced, I now knew he was pretty average in looks, height and weight, clean-cut, in casual clothes. He was nervous, but after a couple of minutes, we had both relaxed and were fine with each other.
"Shall we?" he said, rising and tossing a twenty on the bar to cover the drinks. "I left her just before you arrived, so she's probably wondering if I've forgotten or been mugged or something."
"Sure," I agreed. Hell, I didn't come to drink in the bar with him after all. I was antsy as well, but my worries about this being a setup or his going high and right on me had been assuaged. I wondered how he thought things would go in the room, but he seemed not to be concerned about that, so I just followed, and we exchanged small talk in the elevator, as if just two guys on a business trip at the end of a day.
Down a hallway, he retrieved his key card, swiped it, and we entered the room.
He led me through the suite living room space and then I saw you, in the bedroom, blindfolded, with your wrists tied with ribbons to the headboard, and covered from throat to toe with a white sheet. I couldn't make out much about you, except that you were indeed Caucasian and brunette, and that the figure under the sheet seemed nicely curvy. My brain just shifted, and suddenly this wasn't about you and Larry, but just about you, and just between us, as far as I was concerned.
You looked lovely. Make that you look lovely as I relive the day - I can't think of this without shifting into the present in my mind, and without interjecting what you've told me since that you were thinking, feeling.
You are a bit propped up by several pillows behind your head and shoulders, and the wrist ribbons seemed, if not loose, more for show than to bind you against your will. Your mouth is closed, but I can see the sheet rising and falling, reflecting your breathing as heavier than just relaxed. I reflect that you've been this way for maybe a half hour, since Larry's getting to the bar plus our meeting time there would result in something like that. I'm that much more ready to get this show on the road, if only to break the monotony for you.
Meanwhile, you feel curious, a bit embarrassed at your vulnerability and questioning this behavior, which is not usual for Larry, although he'd said this kind of thing might happen. Following his lead, you haven't said a word either, although you could. You're just wondering where this is going, and you know that whatever is going on, it's sexual, and you're feeling turned on a bit. He'd suggested showers after returning to the room in the late afternoon, and he'd done his first, being quicker. You welcomed the idea since it had been a bit of a long, warm day of strolling and seeing sights, and since you expected dinner to come next in this mysterious agenda of his.
Larry met you coming out of the shower, casting aside your towel. Fresh-scrubbed and naked, you were taken you by the hand, led to the bed, and blindfolded. He lay you down, raised your arms, tied your wrists as you giggled a bit, nervously at the strange, helpless feeling. He took care to arrange the pillows, your hair, attending to your comfort, covering you at last with that sheet. As he finished, he whispered, "This is for you. I'll be back. Enjoy."
The room was silent, and time passed. You have no idea if Larry is even still there, even though it sounded like he was leaving. And that was some time ago. At least you're comfortable - tied up, yes, but not stretched, and really, the ties seem loose enough that if you really struggle, they'll give. Then, you hear the knock, and the door faintly open, then close again. You wonder if Larry has finally left, or has just come back. Low, muffled voices reveal that he's there, and that you and Larry aren't the only ones in the room. Then things are silent again.
