AUTHOR'S NOTE: This is a sketch: an unpolished story. I'm used to writing in a 3rd person omniscient voice but the genre really lends itself to the immediacy and intimacy of 1st person so I'm trying it out here. The first time around, I wrote this bit in present tense β which was fun to write but just a bit too distracting to read. The one bit of editing has been to slow it down into past tense. Beware... it's possible I missed a few edits.
My request for you, dear reader, is that if you bother to read this story at all, take a moment to rate it and leave a comment. Tell me how the first person strikes you, the tone of the narrative, even the ever-controversial loving-wife/slut-wife crossover content.
Thanks,
Wilson
******************************
I'd never been to New Orleans but my wife had when she was younger. Now we were both in our early thirties; older and smarter, but not necessarily wiser. I work in a cubicle for one company and Jessica works as a receptionist for another. She got the front desk of a fairly flashy image conscious group, so she keeps herself in shape. With pouty lips and big boobs, it wouldn't matter if she couldn't remember her own name, she'd be perfect doing what she's doing.
My cubicle toiling had scored a pretty significant bonus and we both had some vacation time, so I thought it would be good to celebrate with the biggest of celebrations: a trip to Mardi Gras. It was either that or a trip to see her parents in Detroit. Yay. I talked up the Big Easy with all the Dixieland jazz, the smooth booze and β I had to be honest β the boob flashing. She rolled her eyes and protested how unfair that was. I told her to get into the spirit of it and that made her think a moment.
"Okay... you wouldn't get upset if I lifted my top?"
I stalled, flashing her a big smile. I admit, I do have a jealous streak but I was also raised on porn: the idea of seeing my wife excite other guys got me cranked up. Trophy thing? Maybe. Maybe it was just breaking through the familiarity that settles on a relationship. Who knows, but we'd certainly had a few fantasies and she'd gotten plenty hot and bothered. She was always reluctant to kick it off, but by the end, she'd come a dozen times playing the slut. I don't think either of us ever thought about extending that into the real world, but hey, you never know. Finally, I gave a smarmy wink and told her: "Jess, you'd look great in beads but better in pearl necklaces."
That got a look.
Two weeks later, we were headed east on a big jet airplane.
After Katrina, Mardi Gras had grown up. Like Vegas, it shed its "fun for the whole family" approach and went for the adult crowd. That much was apparent when we were handed flyers at the arrival gate: NOPD notes about the dos and donts. While they didn't explicitly say they'd be looking the other way, the impression I got was no blood no foul. I'd be seeing a lotta boob this week...
On our very first night, we went bar hopping on Bourbon Street. Luckily, it was a very warm night. She was in a white tennis skirt (very short) and a tight red t-shirt. Under the skirt, if she was on a bar stool, you'd see a lacy white g-string underneath. Wonderfully scandalous. As for me? Who cares. Okay, for what it's worth, I was in shorts and t-shirt.
We raced to the first stop and had one big drink in a charming little pub.
Big
drink. It was enough to get us both started, then we blasted out to sample the town.
She got some catcalls and turned, looking to see how I was handling it. I looked at her like 'what are you waiting for?' and it was all the permission she needed. She flashed her demi-cup covered boobs and actually watched me more than them, which was funny 'cuz I was watching them watch her. In the corner of my eye, I could see the relief in her face as I hollered right along with the crowd. She got her first necklace of the night and we scurried away.
I leaned over, ironically, to have a little discretion. "You should probably lose the bra."
She looked at me a little surprised. After a moment of consideration, she unhooked and pulled the D-cup mouse ears out of her sleeve like Houdini. Then the challenge started: where to put it.
I saw the problem and asked her: "Is it expensive?"
"It was a few years ago but it's falling apart. I really need to get another one."
"Okay, good," I nodded. "Here, I'll take it."
She handed it to me and I yanked it in two before properly disposing of it. That dropped her jaw. I capped the move with a perfectly innocent smile. Not twenty feet down the road, she got more catcalls. She flashed them β and I swear to God, seeing her tits swaying in public gave me instant wood.
Street β Strangers β Wife's Tits β More Strangers...
So different and so hot and so cool.
Wow
. She played to the audience, but still stole a glance at me as she arched her chest.
I gave her a wink and cheered her on. She wasn't so nervous about baring her boobs, but what my reaction was to it. Second batch of necklaces and me showing my enthusiasm (not beating anybody up), and I think she was starting to relax.
When another girl lifted her top, I was going to toss her a necklace. Instead, the girl steps over and bows her head β with her shirt still up. My lucky day. Well, if I'd been flagging since Jessica's first public exposure, this shot me back to life. Her boobs weren't Jessie's, but she was still pretty and they were still sexy boobs. It was my turn this time, keeping peripheral tabs as I gave this girl all my appreciation. I didn't detect any jealousy per se, but I did get just an inkling of my wife's competitive edge. Now
that
would make it fun and just a little bit dangerous.
We settled into another bar, this one a rowdier road-house, and she got several more necklaces before walking out. She got a lotta calls. Great tits, go figure β and her nipples were beacons under her tight t-shirt. I egged her on every time. To me, it was... surprisingly exciting. I've seen her boobs for the better part of a decade, I know their every curve. They're great, but I've been there. Until tonight, I'd never seen her shake them in a crowd. I see everybody else getting excited and it gets me excited all over again. Visual Viagra. Now, out in the street, I was seeing her tits in a whole new light (so to speak). They're fresh again, like I'd never seen 'em before, and she'd gotten me excited. By those nipples, she was pretty excited, too.
