I wrote this story for Tiffany. Thanks for all your help, Tiff. I hope you're pleased with the outcome.
Chapter Three
My heart was beating faster with each passing minute and, lingering in front of the huge residence's heavy oak main door, I still couldn't summon up the courage to signal my arrival. Even as I'd walked across the small cobbled courtyard and up the stone steps, the lights on either side had felt like they were leading me towards a decision I still wasn't sure I was ready to make.
My hand had risen three times towards the ornamental bell and pulled away again each time. Should it really be this difficult?
After all, I'd finally come to terms with my continuing sexual encounters in the massage studio, accepting Yoko's persuasive argument that I wasn't being unfaithful to Nick. I was just the latest of many women indulging in an ancient Japanese tradition designed to keep her fulfilled while her husband buried himself in his work.
And I'd never even thought of considering the now regular sex with Yoko—sensational, mind-blowing sex— as cheating. Girl-girl sex was, well, different.
But, standing outside the residence of one of Japan's most prominent and highly-regarded politicians, my mind was working overtime to convince my head that I wasn't crossing the 'unfaithful' line.
Especially with me dressed the way I was...
It was only a couple of days ago, as I was revering from another orgasm under her skilful ministrations, that Yoko had casually mentioned her husband's hugely important contact. A person, she'd said, who had a particular penchant for pale-skinned European women—especially blondes.
This 'person' could influence a parliamentary bill that had the potential to earn her husband millions. Money had changed hands to set up the arrangement, she surprised me by confiding, but before the deal could be finalised it was Japanese tradition to honour the individual by providing a gift of his choosing.
It appeared that I was to be that gift...
It would a huge favour not only to her, she had emphasised, but to her husband also. They would forever be in my debt, and the bond between me and the Kyokota would be strengthened even further. In truth, she hadn't needed to say much more. For me, the decision—as shocking as the request undoubtedly was to me—was straightforward.
After all she'd done for me, how could I refuse?
And once I'd made that decision; that wicked little voice on my shoulder had taken to whispering in my ear again. Getting fucked by a senior member of Japanese parliament as part-payment for a corrupt business arrangement—how hot was that?
All that was left was to find a way of trying to control the guilt that continually sat at the back of my mind whenever I embarked on a new sexual liaison. I'd been fucked by six masseuses now—all different, but all just as hot in their own way—but this was as different again. I tried not to let my little voice use the word 'whore' but I couldn't help but feel it was an accurate description. A married English whore, who used her body for her own sexual gratification.
Oh yes, the little voice would gleefully reply. Isn't it wonderful?

I raised my hand again to press the bell but again I couldn't. My reflection was staring back at me from the dark glass in the side panel and when I turned my head this way and that, the two little pigtails swung through the air.
Pigtails! How kinky was that? Almost as kinky as the outfit I was wearing under my thin outer coat, I answered myself. Yoko hadn't mentioned that until the package containing the outfit arrived late yesterday afternoon. Then she'd called me to laughingly explain that the politician had specifically asked for his 'gift' to be dressed this way.
"Just go with it," she'd chuckled. "Let your imagination free..."
I had gone with it, of course. There wasn't any other choice.
And strangely, it had actually helped my mood in one way. Dressed like this, I really could almost pretend to myself that I was someone else, not a happily married woman who was about to cement her unfaithfulness by—
No, no, I shouted inwardly. Don't go there.
I leant briefly against the side wall by the door to catch my breath. God, I was shaking. Beads of sweat, responsive to my frayed nerves, were prickling the back of my neck. Could I really go through with this? It was the same question I'd asked myself during the several hours I'd spent getting ready this afternoon.
Thank goodness Nick was away overnight, although I suspected that Yoko had arranged that, too.
I'd taken an extra long time in the shower, trying to drain the tension that had crept into my shoulders. Yet as I'd soaped my body, realizing that another stranger—this one powerful and influential—would possess it before the night was out, the thrill of what was about to happen was unstoppable.
I'd had to relieve the growing excitement by instantly making myself cum.
Afterwards, sitting infront of my dressing table after finishing a whole bottle of wine and about to apply my make-up, I decided to try something different. Something that would be perfect for the outfit I had to wear, but that would also help me further remove myself from my normal world and pretend I really was someone else.
I applied a liquid eyeliner, but only the thinnest of lines to frame my eyes; a lipstick that was a couple of shades darker than my natural lip colour, making it appear as if my lips were a little brighter; before adding a tiny bit of blusher so it made me look like I actually was blushing.
Once I completed the task, and then dressed in the outfit that Yoko had provided, I checked myself out in the bedroom mirror. Perfect...
If only Nick could see me now. Even just a month ago, his eyes would have lit up and he'd have practically thrown me down on the bed, ready to fuck my brains out. Dear God, where had those days gone? And so quickly, too! Why didn't he want me the same way nowadays?
I'd asked myself the same question in the taxi during the long drive here and still couldn't find an answer that satisfied me. But one thing was for sure. If my husband no longer wanted me, there were plenty of Japanese men who did.
When I—finally—reached out and actually rang the ornate doorbell, I fervently hoped that the influential politician would be one of them.
On an instinct, I quickly slipped my coat off and checked my appearance again in the glass side panel. First impressions were essential in the circumstances, and he was expecting to see a St. Trinian's-lookalike schoolgirl, after all.
---
The way his narrowed gaze swept over the whole of my body, and then did so again, more slowly, told me he was impressed. When his appreciate smile confirmed the fact, I felt an unexpected surge of relief flood through me.
But it was more than just relief. I was impressed, too. Although he was a little older than I expected, maybe in his mid-fifties, he had a twinkle in his eye that went well with his overgrown flock of grey hair. Michael Heseltine, I instantly thought ... a Japanese version of Michael Heseltine!
Oh God, Heseltine might be old enough to be my granddad but with those boyish good looks, posh accent, that air of unconformity, he had been the only English politician that had ever been able to make me cream...
Perhaps tonight had just taken a turn for the better?
"Tiffany," he said, those eyes twinkling wickedly into mine as he bowed slightly. "You're everything I expected and more. Please, enter..."
I couldn't help but check out his ass as he led the way through the hall and into a room to our left. He was dressed the way my favourite English politician might have been, too—in a crisp white shirt and tailored dark trousers—and while he was shorter, perhaps slightly more than five foot, I could tell that he regularly worked out. There was plenty of lean hard muscle beneath his shirt.
"Be confident," Yoko had told me as part of her last minute instructions. "He thinks you've done this before so he's expecting a self-assured woman to go along with the schoolgirl look. Quite a combination, don't you think?"
An impossible combination, I'd thought, and the point was reinforced as I walked on trembling legs into his highly modernistic home. I glanced around, more in a vain attempt to calm my nerves than from any genuine interest, and decided that any one of the items on display in the locked cabinets dotted around would be worth more than Nick and my total possessions combined.
"Let me look at you again," he suavely said, taking my coat from over my arm and casually tossing it over the sofa.
I'd left the top two buttons of my Gucci white blouse undone, so that a healthy amount of my bulging cleavage was on display above the black bra. The sleeves were rolled up to my elbows, in traditional St. Trinian's schoolgirl style, just as I'd checked on the internet. The tie was fastened long, but with the fairly big knot pulled down a little to make it look loose, a little tardy.
The short, navy blue pencil skirt barely reached the top of my thighs, and the black thigh highs—together with the shiny patent leather Jimmy Choo shoes—were the perfect accompaniment, even if the shoes did have a much higher heel than any school would have allowed.
The first time I'd tried on the outfit I'd wondered if it looked absurd on my frame, that someone of my age couldn't really get away with this, could they? But as he walked around me like an animal might circle his prey, his appreciative, almost lustful gaze, told me otherwise.
"Perfect," I heard him say, as he stood directly in front of me again.
His smile was almost wolfish as his fingers touched my chin and tipped my head upwards.
"Tell me, Tiffany, do you know who I am?"
"No," I truthfully said, hoping that my answer didn't offend him.
Far from it. The way he smiled suggested he was happy with my response.
"Good," he softly replied. "For the purposes of tonight, just call me Michael."
