Conference Championship:
The morning after my wife's encounter with Mark, she seemed extra loving and attentive toward me. She made me breakfast and kept giving me little kisses when I wasn't expecting them. We didn't talk about it but every once in a while she would give me a knowing look and giggle.
It was like we had a winning lottery ticket and hadn't told anyone about it yet.
When I got to work, I went down to the shipping department to sort out a numbering discrepancy with our inventory control slips and ran right into Mark and Hector outside the Operation Director's office. They both grinned at me. "How are you feeling this morning?" Mark asked.
"Actually I feel pretty good," I said.
"You passed out man," Mark said.
"Did I? The last thing I remember was helping Viv clean up."
"That's a good woman you have there," Mark said. "Any girlfriend I've ever had gets mad at me when I drink too much. Viv just tucked you in and turned out the light."
"That's a good woman," Hector said.
"Yeah, I know it," I said. "You guys are coming over for the championship this Sunday, right?"
"Yep," Hector said.
"Wouldn't miss it," Mark said.
"Good," I said, turning and walking away.
I was going up the stairs when I realized that I hadn't done what I'd come down to shipping to do. I turned and went back down the stairs and when I came around the corner, Mark was holding his phone in front of Hector, showing him something.
I knew by the way they looked up at me that it was the picture Mark had taken of Viv sucking his cock. I could feel my face turn bright red. I held up the folder I was holding. "Control slips," I said as I went past them.
When I got back to my office I was shaking with humiliation and rage. I felt betrayed. I could wring Mark's neck for violating Viv's trust.
I was truly pissed, so I tried very hard to ignore the fact that I was also turned on.
I texted Viv: 'I think Mark showed that picture of you to Hector!!!'
She replied: 'So?'
'Doesn't that bother you???'
'No. It's his picture--he can do whatever he wants with it. As long as it doesn't go on the internet I don't care.'
'But this is where I work! I don't want everyone here to know!'
'To know what? The truth? Don't be such a baby!'
I didn't know how to respond to that. I looked down at my khakis, tented obscenely under my desk, and sighed. Finally I texted her back: 'Ok, you're right. Sorry.'
She replied with a red heart and a kissy face.
For the rest of the week, Viv continued to be extra loving and sweet to me but I also noticed her being more secretive with her phone.
When I asked her who she was texting she would pause for a moment before answering, as if she were thinking up a lie. Two times she told me it was her sister, which was strange because she hardly ever talked to her sister.
One night, when she fell asleep on the couch, I picked up her phone and punched in her pin but it didn't unlock. I tired again and got the same result.
She'd changed her pin.
What could it mean? I'd told her that I approved of her fucking Mark--I'd even licked her pussy clean afterwards! What could she be hiding from me? If she was sending sexual texts to him, I wouldn't care, in fact, it would turn me on.
I was a bit worried.
By Friday, her manner toward me seemed to have shifted. Before I left for work, she gave me a list of things she wanted me to pick up on my way home, and the items on the list meant I'd have to stop at three stores. That would be a nightmare on Friday evening.
She also demanded that I spend my Saturday cleaning for the party and driving her to various appointments. She didn't ask me, she told me to do it as if I were the hired help. There were no please or thank-yous.
On Saturday morning, she handed me a cookbook. "I put post-it notes on all the pages with the recipes I want you to make for the party tomorrow," she said. "Some of them you'll need to get started before you drive me to the spa today."
"Whoa," I said. "You want me to do all the cooking and drive you around? What the hell Viv?"
She smiled at me as if she had been hoping I'd complain. "Are you happy with our little arrangement?" she asked.
"You mean..."
"You know what I mean," she said.
I felt the heat rise in my cheeks. "Yes," I said. "You know I am. I'm very happy with it."
"And do you want it to continue?"
"Yes, very much." I said.
"Good," she said. "I do too, but I can't be your horny sex goddess unless I FEEL sexy, and to feel sexy, I need to be relaxed and confident. While you're doing all the cooking and cleaning today, I want you to remember that you're doing it to take the pressure off me so that I can satisfy your unique sexual tastes. Does that make sense?"
"Yes," I said. "Yes, yes, yes."
She had me wrapped around her little finger and she knew it.
If I was 100% honest, I'd have to admit that I liked it. I spent hundreds of dollars on Friday and Saturday and battled huge crowds on the road and at grocery and liquor stores. I made marinades and rubs I'd never attempted before and mixed dips that I had no idea were so complicated.
Normally all this would have grated my nerves and made me irritable, but I kept remembering that I was doing Viv's bidding and it lent the chores an erotic undertone.
When it was finally time to pick Viv up from the salon on Saturday, I was stunned at how good she looked.
She'd had a massage and facial at the spa that morning, and then had her nails done bright red and her hair colored and cut at one of the high-end salons in town. She told me to take her to the trendy new shopping district by the river because she wanted to buy something special at Victoria's Secret.
