Occasionally, as part of my job, I get to go away on inter-state trips. While the work is hard, there is the bonus of the after-hours soirees, usually with colleagues I don't get to see all that often. We hang out in bars, night clubs and occasionally strip joints. All harmless fun and nothing I've ever felt the need to keep from my wife Angie. And I have to admit as much as I enjoyed the family life, the chance just to kick back and be someone else for a while was also good fun.
This latest trip was a bit different. It was to a sea-side resort town and as it turned out, was on a Wednesday, Thursday and Friday. So I suggested to Angie that after work on Friday, she might like to catch a flight up to meet me and we could spend the weekend together.
She said "even better then that, I am owed a day for working on the weekend last month, so I will come up Thursday afternoon".
Sounded perfect. So children were farmed out to willing grand-parents, dogs to the kennels and I left on the Wednesday morning with promises of a great weekend ahead once I got through the business bit.
On Wednesday night, after our rounds of meetings and arguments with the butcher's paper and felt tipped pens, my colleagues and I had dinner in the hotel restaurant which, like so many, was pretty stuffy. So when the suggestion came to get some fresh air, all four of us jumped at it. While no one in particular was leading the way, we found ourselves down in the night-life section of town. There were bars, coffee-joints and a bit further The Mad Pony strip-joint. Obviously they had borrowed their name from the famous Crazy Horse. We went in, paid twice as much as we should have for our drinks and watched the show. A couple of the dancers were just brilliant and they spied four blokes out on the town and headed towards us. A few $10 notes later they were doing lap dances for us. They were topless and cupped their breasts at us. But if anyone tried to touch them, they pushed their hands away.
After our willingness to part with $10 notes ran out, they left us alone to watch the stage show.
A young woman came out and did a fairly slow and worthwhile strip-tease. She had a body worth waiting to see and the four of us hollered like supporters at a footy game when her top came off. I think she too might have been in for some lap dancing except for the lack of money.
Anyway, eventually we drifted out on to the streets and headed home. It was around 1am when I slipped into bed, but I wasn't concerned because we had a latish start.
So around 10am, I wondered down to have breakfast and found the rest of the team there. We worked hard the rest of the day and I must say I actually forgot Angie was coming, such that as the last meeting broke up, I agreed to meet the other three in the restaurant for drinks and a meal.
I headed up to my room to clean up and was straight away reminded of Angie's arrival. She was coming out of the bathroom, still covered in the suds from a bubble-bath.
"G'day handsome," she said. "When you weren't here, I thought I'd start without you."
She motioned towards an opened bottle of champagne.
I took a glass and we clinked the flutes. Before I had a chance to sip the champagne, she dropped the towel.
"Like what you see," she said with a smile?
"You bet," I half replied before my words were eaten by her kiss. What came next was pretty amazing. Released from the constraints of making love in the moments the kids weren't around, Angie really went to town. A slow hand job, her tongue run down my chest and stomach and then into the little heaven just below. And I went to town back once inside her.
Her first orgasm rocked her whole body, her second was a series of whimpers and oh my Gods. She then finished me off with a wild combination of hand and head job, my favourite end to proceedings. As we lay in bed recovering, I suddenly remembered my dinner appointment.
"Oh shit," I said, "without thinking I said I would meet the other three for dinner. It was in the middle of our meeting and my mind was elsewhere. I'd better go down and tell them I won't be joining them."
"Darling," Angie said, "we have the whole weekend, if you'd like to spend a bit more time with them I am happy to eat with them. Surely a table for four can become one for five and I promise not to yawn if you talk shop too much."
"Sounds fine," I said.
So we dressed and wandered down just in time for dinner. Angie had put on a little black number she reserved for our rare nights out, black stockings and a single string of pearls.
I introduced Angie to the guys – Jim, Ash and Andrew. They all made welcoming noises and over the top compliments. Now if there is one thing Angie can't resist, its compliments about her looks. I use it as part of our love-making and the flattery gets me everywhere. The other blokes didn't know it but they had given her quite a thrill.
We ordered dinner, including some good wine. The company picked up all the in-hotel expenses for these jaunts and we didn't slum it with the wine list.
After the third bottle had arrived, we'd stopped talking shop and were on to any subject we wanted, freewheeling if you like, and with plenty of laughter.
Somehow, last night's fun had come up for discussion.
"I guess we won't be going there tonight," Jim said.
"Why not," Angie said with a devilish smile.
"Well I wouldn't have thought you'd want your beau in one of those places two nights in a row," Jim said.
"Doesn't worry me, as long as I can come, too," Angie said.
The conversation moved on and it was getting late. The hotel staff started setting the other tables for breakfast and we felt a strong hint on the wind.
"Time to leave methinks," Andrew said, " on to fresher pastures?"
His voice went up at the end of the sentence as he posed the question.
"Why not," I said and looked at Angie. "The Mad Pony," she asked? She hadn't forgotten the earlier conversation.
"All right by me," said Andrew. Jim and Ash nodded in sheepish agreement.
So we were off. We stopped at a night club on the way and had a couple more drinks.
Then at a coffee place for a caffeine kick.
By the time we arrived at the Mad Pony, it was close to 1am. We moved to go in and the bloke on the door said we could if we wanted to but the place would be closing soon.
"I've got to have just one look," said Angie. Ash, a brilliant salesman and deal-doer, got them to let us in for the price of two - a decent enough discount.
We grabbed our drinks as the last call was made and watched the last act.
It was the same girl who had danced the night before and again she was very good and we gave her a great round of applause as she finished.
"Well that was good," said Angie and I noticed that she, like the rest of us, was slightly the worse for a night's drinking. "I wouldn't mind some more of the same."
