Chapter 28: X Marks the Spot
When I returned to our apartment after my "interview" at work, Chris, Alexis, and Ty were sitting in the living room, chatting. Upon opening the door, they turned their heads to look at me with expectant eyes.
"Well... how did your meeting with the boss go?" asked Chris with a knowing grin on his face.
Alexis jumped up, ran over to me as I closed the door, and clasped my hands in hers. "Tell me everything! I've been dying to know. Was he receptive?"
"More like, were
you
receptive?" Ty poked his index finger of one hand into a hole in his fist, indicating penetration. I grinned sheepishly and rolled my eyes. "You know, was your body receptive to his body?"
Alexis shook her head at him. "If you have to explain your joke, then it isn't funny."
"But was it?" Ty persisted.
"Ignore him," said Alexis. "Come sit down and tell us what happened." I began to unbutton my coat. "Did he like your outfit?" I pulled off my coat to hang it up on the hook by the door.
"
I
sure like her outfit!" enthused Chris. "You look hot!"
I looked down. I had forgotten that I was wearing just panties and a bra underneath. I quickly tried to escape the impending roast. "I'll tell you all the whole story in a minute. First, I need to take a shower."
"Oooh! I know what that means!" teased Alexis. "What's the matter, Layla? Do your panties feel a little sticky in the crotch?"
I gave them a guilty smile. "Maybe. Give me a minute. I'll be right back." I walked to the bathroom, leaving behind a cacophony of enthusiastic teasing.

When I was all cleaned up, I put on some comfy sweats, plopped down on the couch, and snuggled up to Chris. "Hi, babe." I gave him a kiss on the cheek, and held his bicep with my arms.
"Well? What are you waiting for? Talk!" demanded Alexis. "You already made us wait forever with your long shower."
I told them how nervous I was all day. I related how I had entered the conference room expecting both a serious conversation with my boss, but also, perhaps, a sexual encounter with Phil, only to be surprised by a second man in the conference room. They didn't see that plot twist coming either. I didn't provide too many details about the ensuing sex in order to spare Chris any feelings of jealousy that might arise. There was a moment of silence when I finished my story.
"So, you're going to law school in the fall?" asked Chris. I nodded. "Where is it?"
"It's here. Same city. I won't be moving, if that's what you're worried about."
"And you'll be providing sexual favors for the dean every day?"
"What? No, babe." I gave him a tight hug. "I imagine that we'll hook up every once in a while, but I'm not leaving you for him. Is that what you're imagining?"
"You've just been getting a lot of action with a lot of people lately. I just wanted to know what your plans were." Alexis hit Ty on the arm, signaling him that it was time for them to go to their room to give us some privacy to talk.
When their door closed, I turned to Chris to look him in the eyes. "I'm sorry if you've been feeling neglected. You're right that I've been with a lot of other people lately. You were present for about half of those encounters, so you know what happened. And I've been very honest and forthcoming about telling you what happened when you weren't present. I was under the impression that you were okay with all of that. Have you changed your mind?"
"No, it's not that. I'm still okay with you sleeping with other people."
"And you've been getting some pussy on the side too, mister."
"I know. I know. I just want you to remember to meet my needs too."
I kissed him on the lips. "I haven't forgotten you, babe, I swear. I promise to pay more attention to you in the future. In fact, if you're feeling needy right now, I'll be happy to show you some extra attention immediately." I made eyes at him, coaxing a smile out of his serious countenance. I stood up in front of him, raised my eyebrows, spun on my heels, and began to exaggeratedly saunter toward our room. I glanced back over my shoulder, and said coquettishly, "If you'd like to see what I'm wearing—or not wearing—under these sweats, you'll find me waiting in our bed."
"I heard that!" yelled Ty from their room.
Alexis yelled back, "Why are you listening to
her
invitation when I'm lying right here underneath you?!" We all laughed as Chris closed the door behind him.

The next morning, I made breakfast for everyone. Though our hair was messed up and our clothes were rumpled, we were all in a good mood, having woken up with the double-sated feeling of being both sexually satisfied and well-rested. That sense of calm was interrupted by all of our phones pinging at once. It was, of course, Lance.
"Be at Club X 8:00 Saturday. Dress to impress. I have plans for you." That set off a firestorm of speculation as we ate breakfast, but we just had to live with the excitement of anticipation until the weekend arrived.
--..—
When we entered the club, there were already a fair number of people milling about. We got drinks at the bar and then found a booth to observe the scene, since it was our first visit after our initiation. Most of the men were wearing semi-formal outfits of dinner jackets with their collars open. Some were wearing Hawaiian shirts with pineapple-themed prints. A few sported leather gear, and some were already stripped down to various styles of underwear. Most of the women pretty much arrived in their underwear. There were a lot of tight, short cocktail dresses, but there were also a lot of bras, camisoles, corsets, stockings, and the like. It was actually a lot of fun to see everyone so openly provocative and comfortable in their sexuality. No one was trying to hide the purpose of their presence. We were perhaps a little underdressed, due mainly to our limited post-graduation budgets, but, as Alexis pointed out, what we lacked in the fashion department, our obviously youthful bodies made up for in the attractiveness department.
Though we had arrived at 8:00, per Lance's instruction, there was no sign of him. We sipped our drinks and watched people flirt. Our voyeurism turned into a game where we tried to guess who would lead whom off to another room to play. We all agreed that the success rate was significantly higher at this club than it was at any other bar or club that we had ever been to. After all, pretty much everyone came with the specific intention of getting laid. No one tried to pretend otherwise, and no one's wingman tried to prevent them from being taken advantage of.
As we waited, we wondered what had happened with Lance, but at 8:30 on the dot, YasmÃn strutted up to our table, wearing very high cut leather shorts, a lacy black bustier, and 4-inch heels. She gave us a dramatic spin so that we all got a good look at her ass, which was more exposed than covered.
