My open relationship has been getting more and more complex. Recently, I had sex with one of my men - Philip, at work, in front of one of my coworkers - Emily.
A few days later, I was breezing through reception, past the security desk with Tom and Ken. They're nice old guys. I think they're retired cops or something - they have that sort of air about them.
"'Night guys," I said to them as I headed towards the door.
"Sue," Ken said, "can I have a word?"
"Sure," I said, heading back towards the desk.
"I'm clocked out now," Ken said to Tom as he got up. "This way please."
I followed him around behind the desk, and into an office they had back there.
He closed the door behind me, and I stopped, not really sure what to expect. I felt like I was back at school and in trouble for something, but I didn't know what.
Ken went and sat behind a desk, and waved at me to come over by him, pointing at his monitor.
"We have these security cameras," he said, and I suddenly felt cold. What had they seen?
He tapped away on a keyboard, and four pictures came up on the screen.
"There aren't that many of them, and they monitor places where the bosses think people would take stuff like computers that they've stolen to get out of the building."
One of the views was the corridor outside the mailroom.
"They turn on when they notice movement."
He tapped the keyboard, and the picture of the mailroom went full screen. It was quite blurry now, which made me think it was pretty low resolution.
He tapped again, and it started playing. I watched Emily and me walk down to the mailroom door. Luckily we were pretty small by the time we got there, but as we'd walked past the camera, you'd know it was us.
Ken tapped the keyboard and the video stopped.
"That's you and Emily, isn't it?"
I just nodded. I could feel my throat was tight and my mouth was dry.
"Is everything OK?"
I nodded again.
"Only then you do this..." he trailed off as he tapped and the video started again.
It was crappy low resolution, over compressed, but after a few seconds you could see me drop off my skirt and Emily pick it up. Then you could see me knock on the door then take off my jacket, standing there naked. Then we both go in the door and the video stopped after a few more seconds.
"Is everything OK?" Ken asked again.
"I can explain," I said.
"I just want to know you're OK," he said. He seemed to really mean it.
"Yes," I said, "I'm just having a sort of sexual relationship with Philip."
"And Emily?"
"She was taking pictures."
"So she's blackmailing you?"
"No," I said, shaking my head, "they're for my husband."
"So your husband knows about this?"
"It was kind of his idea," I said, "we're in an open relationship - that bit was his idea - and he likes to hear and see me with other guys. It really turns him on."
"And you?"
"I like sex with other guys," I said, feeling myself blush. "Quite a few other guys."
"So what did you do with Philip?" He seemed to have relaxed a little, now he knew I wasn't in trouble. Now he seemed interested in what was happening.
"That time?" I asked, "we had oral sex."
He looked at me.
"He licked my pussy, and I sucked his cock," I blurted out.
He nodded. I realized that he probably knew what oral sex was, and didn't need me to tell him.
"OK," he said. "I looked through the old videos, and I see a bunch of people going to the mailroom, and they're usually there for a minute or two, but you've been there several times for twenty minutes or more."
He tapped away at the keyboard.
"There," he said, "I've deleted that video."
"You can do that?"
"Sure," he said, "we're supposed to clear it out from time to time so the hard drive doesn't fill up."
"Thank you," I said, relaxing a bit.
"Is there a camera near our desks?" I asked, suddenly thinking of me, blowing Herman.
"No," he said, "you have to get something you've stolen out of the building. We don't care about you moving it around inside."
He looked at me.
"Why?"
"Just wondering," I said.
He continued to look at me. Oddly enough he looked a little nervous.
"Can I ask a favor?" he said, a little softly.
I tilted my head, questioningly.
"Can I see what Philip saw? I couldn't see anything of you really, in the video, and I think you're really pretty."
I was flattered. I also felt I owed him something for not getting me in trouble. I glanced at the door.
"Of course," he said, getting up and going to the door. I watched him lock it carefully, so as to not make a noise.
"Tom has a key, obviously, but we'll hear him try the door first."
