"Honey, are you okay?? What happened??"
I definitely wasn't okay, and the frantic note in Megan's voice confirmed there was no way to hide it. I could feel the blood crusting on my face and my cracked glasses in my pocket were further proof it hadn't been a very good evening.
"Oh, I just got mugged leaving work. I guess crime has kinda gone nuts everywhere?"
"Christ, let me get you some ice."
"Thanks."
I patted my pockets, reminding myself that my wallet and phone were gone. I guess they were just things, after all. Better cancel that credit card tonight. Megan came back from the kitchen in a matter of seconds, handing me an ice pack, crossing her arms and biting down on her lower lip as she sized me up.
"I guess it looks worse than it is?"
"It was just one punch. I handed over my wallet, but I guess he just felt...violent."
"Did you call the police?"
"No, what's the point?
"You should still report it, shouldn't you?"
"I guess. Ahh, fuck that ice hurts."
"You're definitely gonna have a black eye for awhile."
"Yeah."
I grimaced as I momentarily removed the ice from my temple, seeing spots of blood on the pack. Truth be told, I barely remembered what had happened. I'd had my head down about to send a text and then there was a tall, thickset black man in my face with a gun. I'd left the office pretty late, as usual, so it was dark and I'd handed over my phone and wallet immediately when he'd asked, before he basically caught me across the face with the gun and took off with me crumpled on the sidewalk.
"Do you need to eat?"
"Yeah, that'd be great, thanks."
Despite the pain, I couldn't help but let my eyes linger on Megan's ass as she turned around and headed back into the kitchen. We'd been married about three years now and trying for a kid, but it hadn't happened yet. Obviously we still weren't fucking every day, but I still found her as hot as the day we met back in college. Maybe more. I'm just a normal-looking everyday skinny white guy, and she's a pretty hot blonde with a great figure who at 29 often gets mistaken for 24.
I'm an accountant grinding for partner now, and she's doing communications for a local non-profit. We bought a house a couple years ago before covid, and she's working from home. I went back to the office as soon as possible to try and help my career along, but she's stuck at home all day every day, and although she says she doesn't mind, I somehow feel like she's a little bored. Can't blame her, either. She's a people person. Zoom isn't her thing.
She's a hell of a cook, too. I finished most of a bottle of wine with dinner after cleaning my face up as best as I could and took a late shower, trying to wash the memories of the day away while Megan cancelled my credit cards. I don't know why I was feeling it, but my dick was making it clear that it needed some attention so I jerked a load out right there in the shower with some relief. No porn or anything. Maybe that was my body just asking for some dopamine for pain relief, I thought. Something Megan definitely doesn't need to know about, I thought to myself, as I watched the cum swirl away down the drain. She probably wouldn't be thrilled with me jerking off, especially in the shower. But it wasn't as if I was up to the work of pleasing her tonight, not after getting beaten up. Lazy was fine, sometimes. I toweled off and headed to bed.
"Night, sweetie."
"Night, babe."
-------------------------------------
"Yeah, so just at the corner of 12th and Washington. Around 8. No, I don't know anything about guns, but it was like a pistol of some sort. Yeah, this number to contact me."
Pointless, but I'd promised Megan I'd do it. The police were overwhelmed and ever since BLM basically burned down a block of the city last summer they'd been doing the minimum. Couldn't really blame them for that, either, admittedly, after how they were treated. Police officer was the last job I'd recommend to one of my future kids, at least unless things changed in a major way.
Logging on to my online bank portal to make sure there hadn't been any charges rung up on my cards, I winced as I saw the subscription cost for Blacked and BlackedRaw just coming through. I had to admit that stung a little after getting mugged by a black guy last night, even if I couldn't exactly put my finger on why. I'd subscribed about a year ago thinking that a little taboo porn would help get me more excited for fucking Megan, and it had definitely done the trick. Our sex life had picked up after that, getting back to three or four times a week, which had made both of us happier. It seemed like the more I jerked off the more interested I was in fucking her as well. Guess it was just good for my arousal levels.
Whatever. I had to work. Trying to push that out of my mind, I turned back to the work computer, trying my best to actually get a few things done, despite repeated interruptions by other members of the office worried about my very-obvious black eye. I tended to keep a messy desk, but I got stuff done, and I'd been grinding hard lately, trying to get over the next promotion hurdle. Feeling my head throb just a little, I closed my eyes and tried to push it away, mumbling to myself as I started to dissect the financial filing in front of me.
"...Well, it can't hurt too much." It was lunch, but there was only one thing on my mind: getting off. Taking my phone up two stories of the downtown mid-rise my firm occupied that was still half-empty from the pandemic, I found my preferred bathroom and was almost immediately tuning into Blacked on my phone with my dick in my hand, jerking off steadily as I watched some visibly muscled and tattooed thug pound the shit out of some blonde brat. I don't know why I found interracial porn so hot, but it was basically all I ever used to get off anymore, and it wasn't more than a couple of moments before I was pumping spunk into a wad of paper towel as I watched jizz drip off the blonde's face.
"It probably helps with the headache", I muttered to myself before cleaning up and heading back down to the office for the afternoon shift. And besides, it didn't take me more than a couple of moments. Fast and efficient.
Work mostly crawled by. I texted Megan if she needed me to bring anything home for dinner, but didn't get a reply. Probably busy herself. I ended up leaving a bit later than I'd planned, mostly because I'd spent half the day answering questions about the mugging and thinking about sex. Why was I so insistently horny? Stepping out the main doors of the office into the dusk, I hesitated for just a moment, flicking my head each way, heart pounding in my chest as I scanned the street. Everything looked clear.
The car wasn't that far away, and I felt my shoes scrape on the sidewalk as I practically stumbled to the vehicle before sliding inside, more than conscious of my dick straining for another round despite having jerked off only a few hours ago. Shaking my head, I checked my phone for texts from Megan and shifted into drive.
Before the pandemic, I'd have jerked off at home, but now that Megan was working from home all day every day I found it a little difficult. I didn't want to tell her I was still jerking it when we were trying for a kid, after all. Doing it at work was normal, but every so often I stopped by a porn shop where I could turn the volume up a little and actually stroke at leisure. I hesitated at the normal turn but shook my head and headed home. It was already too late today.
-------------------------------------
Another day at work and it was more of the same. Dashing upstairs at lunch to watch Blacked and pump out another load. I procrastinated through the afternoon, frustrated by my inability to get shit done. Looking at my inbox I sighed. Was this really worth it? Did I want to spend another decade hunched over a computer crunching numbers?
