Joan and Rita were in the parking lot heading to their car after leaving the nightclub. It was extremely dead inside, as there were only eight people in the club, and the two spent most of the evening dancing with each other.
Joan is a married white woman of 44. She isn't drop-dead gorgeous, but she is a pretty woman who just exudes an infectious sexual energy. She's 5-foot-6, has a 34-23-36 body, and long blonde hair. Rita is a very nice woman, but she's plain compared with Joan. She too, is blonde, but she's a thin, 5-foot-5, 46 year old woman.
As the two were crossing the parking lot, a man named Troy happened to be walking toward the club. Joan looks at the handsome 6-foot-4 muscular dark-skinned black man, and blurts out, "Oh God, look at him...I shouldn't leave yet."
Troy eyed the two, and then his eyes locked in on Joan and he said, "Then why are you going?"
Rita chimed in, "Because it's dead inside, it's late, and I've got a babysitter to pay."
Troy then asked Joan why she was leaving.
"She's my ride," Joan said.
"Stick around, I'll give you a ride," Troy said, winking at Joan.
"Um...I don't know you, so I think I'll ride with my friend," Joan said.
"Hi, my name is Troy, and you are?" Troy said.
"I'm Joan, nice to meet you," Joan replied.
"OK, so now we know each other, let's go inside," Troy said.
"I don't think so," Joan quipped.
"OK, but you're missing out," Troy teased.
Joan blew him a kiss and got in the car.
"Damn, he was hot," Joan blurted out. "I could use something like that."
Rita nodded her head in agreement, and she reminded Joan that she's a married woman. Joan said a little fantasizing isn't anything bad.
"Just thinking about getting tossed around the bedroom by that kind of stud has me a little moist," Joan said. "I'm sure we'd make a lot of noise."
"Slut," Rita said with a laugh.
Joan was married to a man named Patrick, the store manager of an upscale grocery store in the Bay Area. She wasn't madly in love with her husband, but she liked him, warts and all. She felt comfortable and safe with him. He made good money and that, coupled with her pension, provided them financial stability.
Joan held the power in their marriage, both mentally and physically and both knew it. She has connections in law enforcement as she served as a police officer for 20 years. She left the force to spend more time with her two growing children. She's also a fifth-degree black belt in karate and a second-degree black belt in jujitsu.
Patrick is not a big man by any means. He's 5-feet-6 and weighs about 150 pounds soaking wet with rocks in his pocket. Nine times out of 10, he'd get his ass kicked in a fight, so he always avoided confrontation.
One day while Patrick was at the store, he forgot he had scheduled a meeting with a sales rep from a local media outlet. He rearranged his schedule so he could make the meeting. At 10 a.m., in walks the towering figure known as Troy Johnson. When they introduced themselves and shook hands, Troy's massive hand engulfed that of Patrick, automatically making Patrick feel timid.
The two were cordial when discussing the store's advertising campaign. Neither engaged in small talk. It was a business meeting, plain and simple. That is until Joan suddenly entered the office to surprise her husband with a homemade lunch.
"Hey babe, got your lunch here," Joan sings. She then sees and they lock eyes.
Troy says while laughing, "Hey Joan. Haven't seen you in a while."
"Terry, right?" Joan asks, intentionally getting his name wrong.
"No, it's Troy. How quickly we forget," Troy said.
"Maybe it's not worth remembering," Joan shot back. Troy silently mouthed the word "ouch," following that remark. They both smiled.
"You two know each other?" Patrick asked.
"Oh yeah, Joan and I go way back to last Saturday," Troy said with a chuckle, knowing Patrick was caught off guard.
Joan giggled, and Patrick had a bemused look on his face. Troy and Patrick ended their meeting, and after telling him to enjoy his lunch, Troy left.
Patrick wasted no time asking Joan about Saturday. She simply told Patrick that she and Rita met Troy in the parking lot of the nightclub as they were leaving. Rita thought he was hot, and we talked to him for a minute or two. Patrick's suspicions arose, but technically, Joan did not lie. Rita did nod in agreement that he was hot, and they did talk to him, even though Joan did most of the talking.
"So there's nothing going on with you two?" Patrick said.
An agitated Joan got right in Patrick's face and told him in no uncertain terms she hasn't cheated on him and has no plans to do so. She told him to quit being so in secure. Patrick cowered and apologized to Joan.
Joan and Patrick, Rita and her husband Preston all went out on a double date the following Saturday. They enjoyed a nice dinner at a top of the line restaurant and decided to work off some of the calories with a night of dancing at a bar with a band that played funk music from the 70s and 80s.
When the four entered the bar, the music was blaring and the dance floor was crowded. The four found a table and eventually made their way to the dance floor. They were really enjoying the band and the dancing. Suddenly, Joan saw Patrick's face drop. She turned around and saw Troy dancing with a very pretty Asian woman. Troy saw her looking at him. He acknowledged her with a nod of his head and continued dancing.
It was a casual bar, so no one was dressed to the nines. Joan wore a simple pair of jeans and a form-fitting 49ers t-shirt and boots. Rita also was in jeans and an oversized Giants jersey. Troy had on a pair of loose-fitting khaki pants and a long-sleeve orange t-shirt.
As the dancing continued, Joan was impressed with Troy's moves on the floor, especially for a man of that size. Troy and the Asian woman flowed so gracefully together. Joan felt a little envious of the Asian woman, as she wished her husband was as fluid on the dance floor as Troy.
Troy made his way over to the bar to get drinks, and Joan, pretending she wanted water, found herself standing next to Troy at the bar.
"Your girlfriend's pretty," Joan said.
Troy informed her that she's not his girlfriend. He said she's just someone he dances with and that she's married.
"Making time with a married woman...you naughty boy," Joan joked.
"I am naughty but I do happen to love this woman," Troy said.
"That can make for a dangerous situation," Joan noted.
"Her husband actually approves of what we do," Troy said. "He says I can take her out dancing any time I want."
"He sounds like a liberated man. Is dancing the only thing you two do?" Joan inquired with a wicked grin on her face.
Right then, the Asian woman came over next to Troy and asked what's taking so long with the drinks. He just said the bartender's slow. Their drinks finally arrived but they stayed at the bar.
"Hey Tanya, this is Joan...Joan, this is Tanya. Joan here wants to know if we're doing something other than dancing," Troy said in a mocking voice. "I told her about our arrangement with your husband."
Tanya burst out laughing, almost spitting out her drink. Joan stood there dumbfounded.
"Eh Joan, I'm pretty sure Troy didn't tell you that he's my brother-in-law," Tanya said. "My husband is recovering from a real bad car accident. So until he's well again, Troy and I go out dancing quite a bit."
Joan was irritated that Troy would play her like that, but eventually she got over it. She got her glass of water, and before she returned to her table she eyed Troy's body up and down. That did not go unnoticed by Tanya.
