Our sex life has gotten a little stale and the tension was making us fight. It didn't help that she had a hard time supporting me in my career and activities. Her needs drained her energies from my needs.
So I stopped by the sex store on the way home to pick-up something to spice things up.
There were lots of things I would like, but which ones would Naomi go for?
I passed by dildoes because I already knew they intimidated her. Dildoes are kind of one-sided anyway. Only the girl gets to enjoy them.
All the restraints were right out. Any time I'd suggested having her tie me up to tease me she talked about her getting teased. Finally she threatened that if she ever were to tie me up that I'd be sorry.
When I came to the games I knew I just needed to find the right one.
I saw the teasing Jenga game, the Monopoly type game, Truth or Dare, and finally The Role Play Game.
Naomi was in Drama in college and still liked literature quite a lot. I figured this one was in her wheel-house.
I looked over the categories:
Cheerleader and Athlete,
Housewife and handyman,
Maid and Boss,
Photographer and Model,
Cop and housewife,
Study buddies,
Master and Slave,
Professor and Student,
Escort and Client,
Doctor and Patient,
Nurse and Patient,
Strangers at a bar,
Movie Characters,
I looked at that last one and briefly imagined myself as a movie star receiving my academy award.
The rules were that we would fan the cards out, roll the dice to see who picked, and the picker would design a story based on the prompt on the card.
Only I didn't know that until months later. Naomi was a little peeved that I'd picked up the game. She said it was insulting to our sex life.
So Naomi read the rules when we first opened the game. The way she read them we would fan the cards out on the table, roll the dice to see who played the "Pink Heart" part, which was submissive, and who would play the "Black Heart" part, which was more dominant. The Pink Heart player would draw a card at random. Then the Black Heart player would invent a scenario with setting, character traits, props, and a basic plot all mapped out.
I didn't get it the first time she read the instructions so she clarified. She said, "Suppose we rolled the dice and I was the Pink Heart. I would play the submissive role and you would play the dominant role. So if the card was Strangers in a Bar, I would go down to Smitty's, then you would come in and pick me up as the more aggressive player. Before we started you would invent names for us, say what kind of person each character was, and outline the major plot points."
I got it. "So maybe I'd be Steven Stud and you'd be Wendy Wallflower. Then I'd come swaggering into Smitty's, buy you drinks, and sweep you off your feet. Next you would satisfy all my carnal desires since the Pink Heart has to do what the Black Heart says."
"Exactly!" She exclaimed.
Again, I didn't read the rules myself so I didn't catch the discrepancy.
We rolled the dice, it showed a pink heart, so I was pink for the first play, while she was black. I hadn't considered that I would be the pink player. It was unnatural for the man to be pink.
Anyway, that's the way the dice rolled. So I chose a card, it was Professor and Student.
Naomi began weaving a storyline, "OK, I'm Professor Ballbuster and your Nancy No Nothing..."
"Wait!" I objected, "Why did you give me a girl's name?"
She stared me down, "You bought the game. I'm just following the rules and the rules say I make up the characters. I figured because you're the Pink Heart, a fem name would be good."
She stopped for a moment, "We can play and follow all the rules, or watch Murder She Wrote."
I chose to play the game.
She spun her web further, "So I'll find you sitting on a bench in the quad at the local Uni, and I'll sit down next to you...I'll say, 'Aren't you in my Econ 101 class?' Next I'll threaten to fail you if you don't give me everything sexually that I want."
Her story sounded sexy and exciting, we would get out of the bedroom, she could flex her dramatic skills, we'd have sex, and most importantly spice things up. "I can do that."
"Well, don't forget. This is improv. We have to adjust to changing situations."
Abruptly she got up and went into our bedroom. I didn't know if I was supposed to follow or wait or what. She came back a few minutes later, "Here's an outfit for you." It was her grey sweatpants with the word "PINK" emblazoned on the butt in silver rhinestones, a tube top, and a flannel shirt.
"I can't wear that in public." I complained.
"Why not? It's sweatpants and a flannel shirt. It's even your shirt."
"But the pants are yours and it's a tube top."
"But you're playing a Nancy, a student. This is typical student-wear. You'll blend right in. And with the shirt, only you and I will know you have a tube top on. This is for us, right? To spice things up...unless you don't want that?"
I did, badly, want to spice things up. It WAS my shirt. And guys wore sweatpants all the time. Sitting down no one would even see the rhinestones. I agreed reluctantly.
I stood up, dropped my slacks, and started unbuttoning my regular shirt to change.
"Great!" She jumped up, clapping her hands. I hadn't seen her happy in a while. "Since you're a Nancy we'll get you some better underwear too."
She returned minutes later with a matching thong and a lacy push up bra.
So I put it all on, buttoning the shirt from neck to tails. It was less girly than I feared but more feminine than I'd hoped to avoid. Really, though, only she and I would know I was playing Nancy No Nothing - innocent freshman.
Naomi put on a business suit and looked every bit the college professor.
Despite the storyline I was feeling frisky and ready for more. Besides, next time we played I was just as likely to be the Black Heart.
Ten minutes later and we pulled up next to campus. She said, I'm glad you talked me into this. It really does bring back thespian memories. "You go find a bench and I'll park the car."
I looked out the window at a number of coeds strolling the quad. "How far do you think it is to the nearest bench? I don't think I look right for this."
"Of course dear. You're so right. Let me help. She tugged hard on the shirt and all the buttons popped off exposing my tube top. Now hurry up before I get cold feet."
Before she gets cold feet! What about me?
Naomi nudged my shoulder and I followed her push right out the door.
I walked fast, scanning for a bench. I reflected that she was playing the game kinda aggressively. I knew that was the intent of the game but maybe some underlying hostility was involved here.
I waited on the bench forever, though it was really only fifteen minutes. I breathed a sigh of relief when there was a tap on my shoulder, "Hey Babe. This seat taken?"
It was a guys voice. Some big athletic dude leaped over the back of the bench dropping into the seat next to me.
We both looked shocked.
"Sorry," he said, "I thought you were a...are you a girl?"
"No," I answered the imposing figure. "I'm just out playing a game. This is a costume."
He looked me over, "Your boobs look great. And I can make out your bra under there. What kind of game is it?"
Then my wife was there, standing behind us, "It's a sexual role play game and you've stumbled onto the set. You can join in if you want. But we're out of character so make up your mind quickly."
