Another story about our lives together.
"Chuck, why don't you get comfortable?"
A cold flash of fear went through me. Why did Lee have to do this? I knew the answer, of course: just because he wanted to. He loved to see me squirm and he knew what was going through my mind. We had company, a friend of Lee's from out of town, and that's why I wasn't "comfortable" already. We'd been out to dinner and were now home, just relaxing while he and Lee did more catching up.
To Lee, comfortable meant naked, at least for me. At home I was almost always naked except for some sort of bondage, even if it was just a lead attached to my cock ring. I like being naked. It's comfortable and Lee would often touch me, slapping my ass, sucking my cock, pinching my nipple, or even just stroking his hand along my skin. It reminded me of how much he loved me and it made me feel sexy and attractive. I didn't really mind being naked around other people. It was easier if they were naked too and sex was in the air, but even without that, I could handle being naked. But "getting comfortable" meant stripping, and I couldn't go to our room to do it. It had to be done right there in front of God and everybody.
I realized that the conversation had stopped. John must have seen the reaction on my face, even if he didn't know what it was about. I've always wished I could hide my reactions, but I can't. They always pop out on my face, so John surely knew something was going on between Lee and me as I sat there frozen, staring at my hand as it rested on the arm of my chair.
Embarrassment overwhelmed me. The thought of taking off my clothes in front of someone I barely knew had me frozen. Combine that with the fact that Lee had told me to do it, and it would reveal too much about me, about my kinkiness. It wasn't that I was going to refuse, that would have been easy. What had my heart pounding in my chest was the knowledge that I would do it! And John was someone I had just met that evening. He certainly knew that Lee and I were lovers, but I figured he didn't know anything about the details, that Lee was dominant and I was submissive, or that we sometimes played with other people and I submitted to them, too. I didn't even know for sure that he was gay, even though he was clearly gay-friendly since our gestures of affection in the restaurant hadn't evoked any negative response from him. But taking off my clothes and revealing my sexual nature to him was something that was almost more than I could do.
I must have blanched at Lee's "suggestion," because now I felt the blush come rushing up my neck and flooding my face as my erection began. I could feel myself beginning to shake from the tension inside of me. How was I going to do this? How could I possibly stand up there in the living room and take off my clothes while John watched and wondered - especially since I knew my cock would be fully engorged by the time I was naked?
"Chuck!" Lee's voice broke the silence, and I looked quickly at him. His previously relaxed face had begun to harden and I knew he was losing patience. "Did you hear me?"
I closed my dry mouth and nodded, looking at the floor to avoid his eyes, my heart pounding in my chest.
"Well?"
My breathing was ragged and I was shaking like a leaf, but I turned my head to John and said, "Wou..." I had to clear my throat and try again. "Would you please excuse me for a moment?" I could see the questions in his eyes, but he nodded.
Slowly, I began to stand up, wanting to run away and hide, or sink into the floor, or just disappear altogether. But none of those things happened to save me. I looked desperately at Lee, hoping for a reprieve that I knew wasn't going to come. He gave me a satisfied smile, and as I walked past him towards the shelves by the entrance he reached out and quickly fondled my already hard cock.
"Chuck's a little shy," I heard him tell John.
"Oh really?" John replied, "he hasn't seemed shy to me."
"Well, I should say he's shy about some things, his body for one."
I wanted to scream, "Lee, how could you?" I was embarrassed enough to be about to strip there in the room while Lee and John carried on their conversation, but having Lee talk about it while it was going on was almost more than I could bear. I was alternatingly cold then hot, I was shaking so badly I could hardly walk, I had an erection that was so hard it was painful, and Lee was telling John about my most personal feelings!
I stood facing the shelves and pulled my sweater up over my head, remembering as I did that I still had some welts across my back from earlier, and nearly collapsing from the realization that they would be visible to John as I folded my sweater and set in on a shelf.
"As you can see, he doesn't have anything to be embarrassed about," Lee continued, which caused another flood of embarrassment. I was so flushed now that I felt feverish
"No, he looks good to me," John replied, evidently going along with this little display.
I kicked off my sandals and grabbed the shelves for balance as I bent down to pick them up, knowing that I was displaying my ass, but thinking that was better than my face right now. Standing back up, I took a deep breath before reaching for my belt buckle. This was it! I was going to strip naked right there, with this man I'd just met watching me. I realized that I had broken into a sweat, and then, all of a sudden, I groaned and stumbled, catching myself on the shelf to keep from falling. I had just remembered that I still had the words "Space Available" written across my ass cheeks! If I dropped my pants now, John would see them first thing. If I turned around first, he'd see my face and hard cock.
"Chuck," Lee said, "is it raining?" That was the code phrase Chuck used to make sure I was okay.
I turned my head and looked at Lee. His face showed some concern. Was I going to be okay? I took a deep shaking breath and knew that in spite of my embarrassment I was intensely aroused, and that this was one of my most potent fantasies. I closed my eyes a moment and nodded my head.
"Then turn around and face the room," Lee instructed. That tone of voice was intense, but it was familiar, and safe. It meant that Lee was in charge and all I had to be concerned about was doing as I was told. Nothing else mattered. It was as if a wall had been constructed around me and Lee was the only other person that existed. I was still about to be exposed to a virtual stranger, but that fact faded in importance as I wrapped myself in Lee's domination.
