"This is the real reason I didn't let you fuck me last night."
* * *
At this point, I should make a confession. Over dinner that first night when Ty talked about he and his girlfriend trading affairs, and Rob talked about he and his wife sharing their flings, I held my tongue. Samantha and I have had, for a number of years, a similar but somewhat different arrangement. She's allowed to sleep around, as long as I get pictures or video. So far it had only ever been a one-way arrangement. Don't judge. It started when I was deployed in Iraq and she was home alone. It's a more common story than you might think. We started out those two years intending to stay faithful to one another. I could hack it. She couldn't. One day over a Skype video chat she asked for permission to be with other guys. She was crying, but she was firm about what she needed. I respected that. I said I would think on it and a week later, feeling terribly conflicted but fearing I would lose her, I gave her my permission.
There were rules, of course. First, it must never mean anything. To avoid emotional attachment, she agreed never to fuck the same guy more than twice. It's like the old superstition about how you should never light three cigarettes on a single match. Second, she must always tell me about it afterward. Full disclosure. After all, I wasn't getting any, so I might as well at least live vicariously through her hookups. Photos and video weren't a requirement at first, but eventually I insisted on getting them, after which I started to look forward to her date nights with a kind of queasy, horny anxiety. Porn is fine and all, but it's emotionless. But when it stars the woman you love and it's made custom for you, that's a whole other thing. When her video messages arrived on my phone, I could barely wait to find a secluded corner with a bottle of lotion and hit play. A couple of guys in my platoon caught me at it once, but that's a story for another day.
After I returned home, we kept on with her dates. It was just a part of our life now. She enjoyed it too much for me to ask her to stop, and we felt strong in our relationship. Was I jealous? Sure, but at the same time, it remained a huge turn-on for me. Every time she showed me a picture or told me the details of a hookup, my heart hammered and my cock got terrifically hard. When I was deployed, I had always taken this rush of feelings out on myself. Nowadays, I direct that lust at her, with a hard, jealous fucking to claim her again as my own. We love these sessions. I call her filthy names. She goads me with details of how the other guy was bigger, thicker, used her mercilessly, made her do depraved shit that I'd never asked of her. While she tells me this, I fuck her so hard she can't walk straight the next day. We hold each other afterward for a long and tender while and we fall asleep together.

So the picture Samantha had sent me was on my mind all day, distracting me from the question of how she knew the woman I'd hired for the bachelor party. Instead, I was wondering how she knew the guy, and when, not whether, she was going to fuck him again. (The second time is always the best. She tells them, "My boyfriend only lets me be with a guy twice. This is your last chance so you better make it count." From the videos I've seen, they make it count.) I became so distracted by the idea that I had to find a moment's privacy in the bathroom, pull out the phone, and jerk off while imagining all the details.
Hangovers put to rest, we started the day's activities with a visit to the casino. James is an accomplished poker player and he managed to win a couple grand at the table. We went back to The Velvet and tipped big. Lap dances all around. It was late afternoon when we emerged into the scorching sunlight, thirsty from day drinking. We were surprised somehow that the sun was still up. We went for a late brunch at a little out-of-the-way Cajun place that made great po-boys and even better hurricanes. Maybe you could call it high tea, since most of us also took long trips to the bathroom to do a few more lines of Rob's seemingly bottomless supply of cocaine.
"Oh my god, dude," said Joey. "That chick with the fuckin' pierced nipples. She was a fuckin' freak!"
"Right?" said Ty.
"I would bang her in a hot minute."
"You mean that's how long you'd last?" said Brad.
Ty laughed. Joey flipped Brad the bird.
We went out for another round of drinks at a fancy hotel rooftop bar. Ty was getting chatted up by a couple of cute blond girls who were obviously impressed by his muscular good looks, black skin, and sharp attire. Joey went over and tried to edge his way in but they ignored him. Joey is originally from the Jersey shore and let's just say Ty was more these girls' style.
While watching this scene and waiting for a drink at the bar, I got a text from a number I didn't recognize. I looked at my phone and there was a picture of Samantha, some dude's dick dangling above her open mouth, and a puddle of semen on her tongue. The message said, "Talented fiancee you got, bro. Make sure to kiss her goodnight for me."
"Get some bad news?" said James. He must have seen the look on my face. I quickly put my phone away.
"Just checking work email," I said. "Never a good idea."
I couldn't get the image out of my head. Typically when Samantha had one of her little adventures, she was the one who sent the pictures, not the guy. This one seemed a little vicious and personal in a way I wasn't expecting. It was humiliating. So why the fuck did it give me an immediate hard-on? I kept my hand in my pocket to disguise it as I walked back to the poolside.
It had just gotten dark. Rob checked the time and said, "We should get back to the hotel after this round. We don't want to be late for Nicki."
"Nicki?" said James.
"Yeah." He smiled. "You'll see."
I had told Samantha I would be hands off with any women during this trip but with that image burning in my mind, I was starting to wonder if I shouldn't exercise a little good-for-the-gander. I took out my phone and responded to the stranger who'd fucked my fiancee, "That all you got?"
He texted me back immediately. "Nope." Then a moment later another picture arrived. Samantha and Nicki sharing a big sloppy open-mouth kiss.
What the actual fuck.

We'd arranged with Nicki for her to arrive at the suite at 9. I was wondering how I could take her aside and ask her a few pointed questions. When the knock came at the door, right on time, Rob answered it. First I saw her pink platform heels and her long legs and her pink ruffly skirt. Then I saw her curly black hair. As Rob grinningly presented her to the room, I thought to myself, "That's not Nicki." It took me a moment to realize that the woman was my Samantha.
"Guys," said Rob. "I want you to meet our very special guest tonight, Nicki."
Samantha met my gaze and gave me a wink. My heart started to pound.
"I thought you said Nicki was a blond," Rob whispered to me. I'd been the one to make the arrangements online. Only I had actually seen Nicki's picture.
I forced myself to shrug. "I guess she changed her hair?" It was only after a moment that I found myself wondering why I'd lied. I suppose I could have said, "That's not Nicki." I could I have said, "That's my fiancee, Samantha." But what then? I think I was more worried about disappointing the guys. I was definitely worried about embarrassing myself. I couldn't see how to get from that moment to, "Guys, meet my fiancee." In any case, things were moving faster than I could keep up. I'd been drinking all day and I'd done a few lines. I wasn't in control of this situation.
Samantha stepped into the circle of white plush couches in the lounge area of the suite where the guys were all relaxing, vaping cannabis, sipping scotch. She curtsied, holding the hem of her skirt, and then did a slow turn so that we could all get a good look at her. She wore a sparkly tiara. The silk blouse was nearly transparent, with a lacy push-up bra visible under it. Samantha has a great pair of breasts that she used to be shy about because they attract so much attention but every now and then she takes them out to play. Tonight she was showing them off. Her flat belly was bared too. The skirt she wore was very short with her pink garters visible just below the hem. She flipped it up in the back to give everyone a peek at her nice round ass, thonged and framed by pink stocking suspenders. Her shoes were sparkly lucite platform heels, improbably high. Her big blue eyes were framed with long false eyelashes and her eyelids and cheeks were dusted with sparkles and her lips were painted with a wet sparkly pink gloss. Where on earth had she gotten this outfit? She looked like a princess turning tricks. But if James took her up on the offer we'd paid her to make him, then she wasn't going to look like a princess by the time she left.
Brad whistled appreciatively. Anson said, "Mmm hmm hmmm." Through my anxiousness I felt a rush of pride. That was my fiancee and my friends were definitely enjoying the sight of her. She was hotter than any of the club girls of the past two nights, and she was mine.
"James, hope you like unwrapping this gift, bro," said Rob. "Nicki, want to show us what you brought us tonight?"
"Of course," she said.
She sat down on the glass-topped coffee table in the middle of the circle of couches. The coffee table was built on a pivot. She opened her legs and showed off her long white-stockinged thighs, first for James, then she slowly rotated clockwise so everyone got a peek up her little skirt. The guys' eyebrows rose enthusiastically. What were they seeing under there? When she rotated in my direction though, she crossed her legs and swung past. She gave me a mischievous little smile. When she faced toward Rob, she opened her legs wide. He took out his phone and took a picture and my heart sank.
I said, "Guys, I thought we agreed no phones."
"Nicki doesn't mind," Brad said. "Does she?"
Samantha shook her head.
"Probably good for her business," said Gary. "Advertising. Most of these girls have web sites."
"Take all the photos you like, boys," said Samantha. Then she unbuttoned her blouse, took it off, and tossed it into Gary's lap.
