What happens in Vegas doesn't always stay in Vegas.
I'm wide-eyed awake lying in bed, listening to the snoring serenade coming from Todd. Unable to sleep, concerned I may have forgotten something, I'm mentally repacking our suitcases for the Vegas trip in a few hours. Frustrated, groaning I fling the covers aside. I sit on the edge of the bed, sigh deeply, grabbing my pillow, I head for the sofa.
I really have no interest in this holiday. Todd won a 5-day Vegas vacation, some sales promotion contest at his company. He made all the arrangements, "The trips free, we can splurge on shows." He said, he booked up the majority of our time with tours and shows each evening, without consulting me, he even chose the days for the trip, I had no input at all, not one iota, every decision was made by him. Oh ya, I had to do the laundry, pack, arrange everything with mom to take the boys, the school, the boys' activities, get insurance, get travelers cheques, exchange cash, etc. 'ARRRGGGHHH!' I have no desire to go.
Since the pandemic I've been in a funk, being told... you must comply... do this... don't do that... we need to... yada yada, yada; you must do... la da da. 'DAMN IT, I'm an adult not a child.
Todd tells me, Vegas, sin city, it'll be a fun holiday... I'm told... you need to set a limit... don't gamble above your means... careful of pick pockets... lots of scammers... be wary.
I don't recall the movie or the exact words; but I want to go outside and scream 'I'm mad as hell, and I won't take it anymore.'
I want some joy back in my life.
I've tolerated my existence, my marriage, because of my boys. Todd and I had issues before Covid quarantine, he never satisfied me sexually. I relied on lesbian trysts, mostly online hookups, once or twice a month. So, the quarantine made me depressed, my boys were my only happiness, but they too being cooped up, became bitter; everything got on my nerves. It's been 6 months and I'm wanting to take my boys move very far away and start a whole new life.
I lay on the sofa, trying to sleep, 4 hours to flight time, "UUUGGGHHH!" I punch my pillow, "Oh, hell, maybe I'll be able to sleep on the plane." I grumble to no one, get up and make coffee.
What can I do, I don't want to go, do I pull my son's trick, should I play sick. I giggle.
Todd's up, I hear him singing in the shower, he comes bouncing into the kitchen, "Morning babe,"
Damn him, I'm so tired, sucking on my second coffee, He's bright eyed and all gung ho.
"If you want, we can leave now, check in and have breaky at the airport." He takes a sip of my coffee.
Hell, I can't get out of going, maybe I can think of something on the plane. Here I go again, unhappy, but following along, like a good wife. I nod, he calls an uber.
I don't get to sleep on the plane, Todd's as excited as a 5-year-old on Christmas morning, he won't shut up, I considered changing seats; but its midday and it seems all 120 boisterous passengers got a good night's sleep and excited they are going to Vegas.
We get to the hotel around 4pm, Todd of course has booked an event, a magician supper club at 6. I'm so tired, I'm sweaty, frustrated; 'hangry.'
I flop on the bed. "Todd, you go, I don't want to, just let me sleep, my holiday can be 4 days of room service, sleeping, several bottles of wine maybe an occasional trip to the pool and more sleeping."
"Nora, its Vegas baby, so much to do, so much to see. Come on." He sits on the bed, his irritatingly bubbly voice, "Take a shower, once you get out there, you'll have fun."
{'No frikkin way I can fun, I'm too tired; damn it Todd, listen to me.'}
Yet again, I'm succumbing to Todd's wishes, I shower, we go to the show; I thoroughly enjoy the food and the wine is helping. Several times I catch myself drifting off during the show, I couldn't repeat anything I heard or watched. I fell asleep in the cab. Todd helps me to bed.
I slept until 9, Todd wasn't in the room, I went pee, he returned with coffee to go, in a paper cup and a bagel wrapped in a napkin.
"Hurry babe, our tour leaves in 30 minutes, the bus is outside."
'So, what, I never agreed.' I think as I shuffle towards the shower.
I'm toweling my hair, Todd's annoying voice, "C'mon Nora, 10 minutes." He's anxious, agitated, he takes out some clothes and is trying to help me dress.
"Ok, leave me alone, I just need to get dressed, I'll meet you outside." Todd leaves, I dress and as I enter the lobby, I get a brainwave, will he leave without me? Or stay? I move to the side, slouch down in a big chair behind a pillar, hiding, watching him. The tour bus is filling, Todd's pacing, looking back for me; a huge grin appears on my face as he steps on the bus. 'YESS'
I return to our room, put on my one-piece swimsuit; I'm uncomfortable about my stretch marks and slightly flabby tummy, cover up with a flowery summer dress and go to the restaurant. I had a leisurely brunch of waffles and bacon with coffee; so peaceful and relaxing.
I saunter to the pool, pull off my dress and toss it on a lounge chair. I'm sitting on the edge of the pool kicking my feet in the water. I notice a woman sunbathing across the pool; she stands up, stretches, looks around. WOW, smoking hot body, gorgeous, neon pink string bikini, olive skin, likely Brazilian I think, black hair. She is headed my way, I can't help but stare, I lower my sunglasses to get a better look as she approaches. She has a sensuous sway, several diamond rings. Damn, she is stunning, perfection. I'm drawn to her crotch gap, camel toe.
{'I was lusting, excited by her; I'd love to do her.'}
I turn back to splashing with my feet. I recall my initial lesbian activity. I was invited to Claires birthday sleep over with 2 other classmates. We watched a movie, ate cake and ice cream, we were heading to Claire's bedroom when we heard noises in her older sister Megan's room. Claire peeks in; "they're doing it." We all look, they're both naked, Megan's legs are spread wide, and Mary's older sister Betty is shoving a cucumber into her. Mary opened the door and rushed to the bed kissing Megan's tit. I was in shock, dumbfounded, no clue what was going on.
Claire dropped her clothes as she crossed the room and began licking Betty's butt. I'm standing in the doorway, stunned, frozen. Beth removed her jeans and lowered her bottom onto Megan's face. I felt an unfamiliar tingle in my crotch, I stare intently at the naked girls on the bed, all moaning, sighing. My nipples harden, my fingers touch my boob, I shiver at the thrill of this new sensation. Curious, I put my fingers down my pants, I shuddered, the sensitivity of my fingers touching my crotch is exciting. Claire saw me, got off the bed, came to me, kissed me, her fingers undo my pants and shoved them down. She pushed me onto the bed, her lips sucking my tit, her fingers playing with my nether region. It felt great, I soon had an overwhelming reaction; I later learned that was my first orgasm.
'Damn I haven't thought of that in years.'
I look around; the sexy Latin woman is stretched out on a lounge chair right behind me. A towel draped across her eyes, my view is straight up her smooth, shiny thighs to that enticing puffy, pronounced, camel toe, her tiny bikini top appears to be resting loosely on top of her areoles as the majority of her marvelous mounds are exposed from this angle.
Lewd thoughts flood my mind.
{'What happens in Vegas, stays in Vegas.'}
I haven't had any orgasm for weeks, no lesbian dates, no masturbation.
As for Todd, he prematurely ejaculates when I'm barely aroused. I recall when I bought that black negligΓ©e, I put it on in the bathroom, his erection grew the moment he saw me enter the room. I teased him, playing with myself as I crossed the room. As I squatted over him, he came, I never touched him, he was always one and done.
He's a good dad, a decent provider, but everything else he's a dud, so for the boys, I'm still with him.
I'm ogling her, I'm aroused, should I go to her, boldly ask for a lesbian liaison. What's the worst-case scenario, she says no.
I stand.
{'Nora, really, are you seriously doing this?'}
I turn toward the hotel, walk directly to the bar. "Two shots of Tequila and a Tequila Sunrise please." As the bartender is pouring, I survey the area, 2 women right here by the bar, 2 couples several chairs further back behind where she is. I sign my room number.
{'Liquid courage'}
I down both shots and head back to the lounge chair with my cocktail. I sit on the chair beside her ogling her sensational body. She must sense my presence as she moves the towel from her eyes, shades her eyes from the sun with her hand, looks up at me and smiles. I pick up my bottle of sunscreen, and she shakes her head. "En." I look at her puzzled.
"En seeenhora." She sits up, opens her bag, shaking her head, holds out a container to me. She shakes her finger at the sunblock, takes it and tosses it aside, then opens her container, dabs a little on her finger, touches my lips. Its minty, and tingles. She nods, dribbles some on my shoulders and begins massaging, spreading it. She moves beside me, twisting me "Deixe que eu." I realize she is speaking Spanish or something similar. She dribbles more and begins moving it around my shoulders, on my back. She stands, bends over her butt barely inches from my face.
{'Gawd, how I want to grab her waist, bury my face, between those round butt cheeks.'}
She stands, places a folded towel at my feet. She puts a hand on each of my knees and pushes them apart, she kneels on the towel. I'm a little surprised at her boldness and almost intrusive act; but excitedly pleased. I peer into her gorgeous brown eyes, she smiles, and I relax, awaiting her next move, hoping it's salacious.
