I arrived early at the stately house, with the sale sign on the front lawn that I had noticed earlier on. It was obviously vacant and there were no lights on so, ducking behind a hedge out of sight, I slipped off my panties and hid them in my purse. I was now ready to keep my appointment, as agreed, so I walked back on to the street. With ten minutes to go till Eight o'clock, I was extremely nervous, not having dated for five years or more and never with such honest expectations of the outcome. Waiting at our agreed meeting place, it was difficult to keep my imagination from running riot. Each time a car came by I anxiously glanced at my watch with renewed anxiety striving to recall the exact moment that I decided to be unfaithful to Alf with Nigel. Nigel had been the perfect person to have a fleeting affair with, but I still didn't know very much about him. Upon invitation, he had sat down beside me at the airport, I remembered;
"I'm curious." He had grinned. "Did you do it for a bet?"
"It's the first time I've been caught out, quite like that!" I blushed, knowing what he meant by 'it'. "You must think I'm awful."
"Actually, I admired the way you handled the situation."
Nigel was persuasive and understanding throughout, while I blushingly explained the reason I'd been travelling that day without panties on.
"It's just a mind control game that my husband and I play." I smiled. "He doesn't allow me to wear anything at all at home and he refuses to let me wear panties when we go out together. It's become a way of life with us. I suppose it all seems a bit kinky to you?"
"No, not at all." He smiled disarmingly. "It sounds as if you both enjoy a bit of harmless fun. Actually, from what I hear, I envy your lifestyle. I'd love you to tell me more about it, perhaps over dinner or maybe---?" He smiled suggestively. Well! If you like living differently, like you say?" He reassured me. "I do love your honesty and poise." He gazed into my eyes. "Let me take you out to dinner?"
I'd found Nigel easy to talk to and enjoyed a frank chat with him.
"I guess I've got used to it." I laughed. "Going out in public without underwear on, I mean. It doesn't seem to bother me nearly as much as it used to. My husband always said I was too conservative but I think I'm getting over that now." I giggled. "Wouldn't you say?"
"You've done nothing to be ashamed of. I think you're lovely."
That's probably when I first decided I remembered, but I still didn't know enough to agree to date him. I opened up a bit more, giving him my name but seeking further information from him, in reality.
"I know you meant to touch me in the plane?" I reproached him.
"That was no accident!" I giggled. "You shocked me at first."
"I'm a lot like you, Trish." He laughed. "Impulsive at times." He owned up immediately. "I couldn't help it."
"I expect you're married as well, are you Nigel?" I chuckled.
"No. I live alone since my wife left some months ago." He held my chin and looked straight into my eyes. "Isobel lives overseas now and we lead completely separate lives." He gauged my reaction to his explanation. "Look! I'd like to have sex with you tonight, if you're willing." He didn't even blink as he said it. " What harm can it do? Two passing strangers that enjoy each other's company."
"Nigel!" I blushed again, knowing that I wanted him too.
"I know how to be discrete, if that's what's worrying you." He spoke quickly, pointing. "Look! I think this is your car coming now, is it? Are you game, Trish? We haven't got time to beat around the bush about it." He warned. "I can see that you want to."
That's when it was decided, a one night stand. I remembered nodding my head, speechless, unable to resist his offer any longer.
My heart skipped a beat when the car silently glided to a halt beside me. A million reasons to dash back to the safety of Steve's house had been running through my mind during the agonising fifteen minute wait for Nigel's arrival. He waved and parked just a few feet ahead of me. Impulsively, none those earlier reasons mattered to me anymore. Lover boy had finally arrived.
He was surprisingly athletic, for a big man, jumping out of his sleek Jaguar sedan to hold the passenger door open for me. The expensive cologne that he used still affected me in the same way as it had at the Airport when I got closer to him. I neglected to mention his late arrival, just smiling invitingly at him as I walked to his side.
"Steve's not around this time then?" He hinted disarmingly. "I was hoping you'd be here, Trish." He gave me a lustful look. "My God you look ravishing."
I kissed him on the cheek and lowered myself into the passenger seat, taking care to sit on the luxurious sheepskin cover with my skirt up behind me. The car smelt like new leather and the pile of the cover surprisingly warm, tickling my bare skin as I adjusted my skirt and wriggled into position still without revealing flesh. His face showed disappointment but he gritted his jaw and said nothing. Nigel closed my door with a soft click. While he walked around the front of his car I admired his casual attire. Mid-grey slacks with a wide leather belt, crimson casual body shirt, open at the neck with an expensive looking designer silk cravat. He walked with a distinctive military bearing, looking like an English country gentleman, with a wide smile on his face. I relaxed, despite my nervousness. He was looking for a good time, just as I was. The night was young and I was willing, too.
"Have you eaten yet?" He asked, as he settled himself into the driver's seat. "I know a great place, not far from where I live, with a cosy intimate atmosphere. Do you like seafood by the way?"
"Please don't go to any trouble, Nigel." I smiled. "I do like seafood and I haven't eaten much, but I'm not dressed for going out."
"Trust me!" He started the car. "Not many people go there." He smiled. "I expect you're worried about being seen with me." He added in a comforting way. "It's miles away from here and very private."
"Whatever you say, then." I smiled back with genuine warmth.
He always knew exactly what to say. in order to put me at ease. The car sped silently with only a limited amount of conversation between us before Nigel began to ask a few more questions about my lifestyle.
"I'm fascinated. Please be honest with me, Trish." He started. "When did your husband start this fetish you mentioned, about control I mean, not that it's such a bad thing in my view." His eyes twinkled mischievously as he waggled his eyebrows. Before too much longer, we were both laughing and joking together in a far more relaxed way.
I found myself telling Nigel about how we got started, avoiding any mention of my obsession with Steve, but being deliberately specific about the compromise agreement I had with my husband.
"I have my limits, you know! I don't do everything he says."
He expressed surprise.
"You mean you disobey him?--- No punishment?" Nigel chuckled.
"Sometimes compromise is almost as bad." I said defensively. "I need to make him happy in one way or the another. It works for us."
I explained a few examples, laughing with him as though I'd known him all my life. Informing any of my friends at home was certainly not an option. Nigel had already proved to be a good listener. Becoming more confident and feeling safer about going to bed with him, it was fun to open up. I told Nigel something about the way made me feel when my husband manoeuvred me toward potentially humiliating situations.
"It makes me feel alive though." I admitted. "Maybe you did Alf and I a favour this morning." I said without thinking. "He was always saying, it'd be fun to get caught unawares by some stranger, like you for example. When I get back---" My voice trailed off. Seeing his bemused expression at the mention of Alf's name. I bit my lower lip.
"It's not unusual, Trish." He encouraged me to continue talking about it. "More people than you realise would enjoy doing what you do if they had confidence in themselves. That's why surrendering control to someone they trust is just the perfect solution." He looked at me.
"What do you mean, Nigel?" I was surprised but interested.
"It's actually a form of submissiveness, if you prefer. There's nothing wrong with it! Becoming subordinate to a more dominant person takes away the guilt you otherwise feel, just like you mentioned." He smiled casually. "Do carry on, Trish."
"I suppose you're right, Nigel." I turned toward him, relaxing again. "Alf makes me do things that I would never ordinarily do but I have to say, he wasn't with me this afternoon." Feeling carefree, I
told him about the man who had seen me swimming in Steve's pool and his reaction when I caught him staring at me.
"It was a real rush." I admitted. "I didn't give a damn who saw me after that. You should have seen the look on his face."
"Like the time I surprised you in the aircraft?" He grinned. "I thought you were going to slap my face but you liked it, I'm sure."
I wasn't ready to delve into that. Honesty had it's limits.
"Enough about me, Nigel. You haven't even told me what you do for a living or exactly where you're taking me tonight? Your turn! I think I've proved my trust in you?" I hinted, more reproachfully.
"I'm an author, occasionally a student, a collector of antiques and fine art but most of all I enjoy life to the fullest extent that I can." He chuckled. "You'll see what I mean." He paused and made eye contact briefly. "You will come home with me after we've eaten, won't you? I'd like you to spend the whole night at my place, if you can?"
