"I just shot..." I began excitedly as I opened my front door.
[T]he round of my life!
was to be the conclusion of my exclamatory entry but I froze after just three words. The subject of my excitement was my first golfing triumph over our neighbor and two-time Pac10 champion, Jerry.
The source of my (hopefully) temporary immobility was my wife Amy. She lay prone on the living room sofa leafing through some glossy women's magazine and sucking a lollipop. Just beneath her elbow, I could see the swell of her breast, forced by the cushion into a tight ball, straining against the overmatched cotton weave of her tank top. The shadow of an erect nipple beckoned obscenely. Her tiny skirt ended above mid-thigh and draped over her rounded buttocks more like film than fabric.
Her legs angled ninety degrees at the knee and she pointed her toes like an Olympic diver. Her thighs were parted offering a tacit adventure. Oh how I wanted nothing more than to sidle over and slide my hand into that inviting crevasse, venturing all the way to where her sweet, gooey labia folded together like the sticky rolls of a steaming cinnamon bun. My tongue dampened as I imagined it following my palm, inch by silky golden inch, laving and poking, until her legs dangled around my neck as I licked from her another of the ten thousand orgasms I promised on the day I proposed.
I couldn't do any of that because, as I already mentioned, my ambulatory abilities were suspended. Now, I was breathless as well. My wife is gorgeous, of that there's no doubt, and it wasn't the first time I'd lost control just looking at her. Yet none of what I've just described was the source of that day's immobility.
What had really caught my eye was halfway between where her toes clutched her thong sandals and the taught, calf muscles providing power to those clasping toes. There, bunched at her crossed ankles was a pair of shiny -- glossier even than the bright pages she lazily thumbed past -- pastel panties.
"Hi honey," she said, cocking her head to the side but without otherwise changing her position.
"You look comfortable," I said, trying to get a rise out of her.
"Mmm hmm," she responded, refusing to engage.
"What are those doing there?" I asked, taking a decidedly more direct approach.
"What are what doing where?" she teased.
"Those," I answered, pointing at her ankles. She craned her neck as if she needed to follow the line of sight my index finger provided to understand the question.
"Oh," she answered with apocryphal earnestness, "I got chilly."
It had been an ill-advised "joke" -- one I'm apparently never to live down -- I told on our first date. "Why do cheerleaders wear panties?" I asked rhetorically. "So their ankles won't get cold." To this day, I don't know what I was thinking.
"I was a cheerleader," she pouted causing me to mumble a blush-enhanced apology. It wasn't until a few days later that I discovered the true extent to which she'd turned my feeble attempt at amusing her in my disfavor.
"What makes you think I was a cheerleader?" she asked innocently when I probed for hot pictures of her in uniform.
"You said you were."
"Oh yeah. I made that up to teach you a lesson about telling bad jokes," she informed me nonchalantly.
Panties provided more than a few interesting provocations after that. In all candor, Amy was (and is) an incorrigible tease. She wears her skirts too short and her bras too seldom. She often smiles generously at strangers who stare. Several times there were outrageously delicious incidents like...
At a bar, we sat on adjacent sides of a square table having a drink. Directly facing her, to my right, a handsome man stared openly. I challenged my wife to do something shocking.
"I'll be right back darling," she breathed huskily, getting into her role. I watched her delightful derriere disappear into the ladies room. I'm sure her unknown admirer did the same.
She returned breathless. "You'll never guess whom I just saw!"
"Whom?" I asked mocking her occasional penchant for proper grammar. She stuck out her tongue...at me but for him.
"I can't say out loud; I'll write it down for you."
"Why all the drama?" I asked as she took a pen from her purse and scribbled on a napkin.
My knees are a foot apart and he is looking right up my skirt,
the note read.
"You're kidding!" I exclaimed aloud, pretending to be startled at a name she'd pretended to write.
"No, I swear!"
"Did he see you?" I asked, enjoying this almost as much as the guy happily ogling her raunchy display.
"Of course he saw. In fact, he can still see."
I motioned for her to give me the pen.
Is that the best you got?
I wrote and pushed our improvised correspondence back. As she read the simple sentence, without looking, she hooked a finger inside her purse and half removed something lacy and silky and pink.
She'd done something shocking all right. As her panties lay partially exposed, she took up the pen again.
Since I've been flashing him for the past 15 mins., he knows my panties are pink. Now he knows they're in my purse. I guess he's figured out I'm doing this on purpose, huh? Anyway, screw him. Get me out of here. I'm soaking fucking wet.
As I sped homeward, Amy attempted to keep our excitement going. "Shit that turned me on!" she proclaimed using her skirt to fan her legs spread welcomingly wide. Each time she picked it up I could see all the way to her bare pussy.
"Who knew I married my own 'Lady Godiva'?" I asked, smacking my lips to let her know I enjoyed her "charms" every bit as much as he had.
"Easy there Evil Knievel," she admonished after I rounded a curve on two squealing wheels.
"What do you suppose your poor Peeping Tom's doing about now?" I asked.
"Jackin' the beanstalk, I suppose," spake lovely Amy as she laid her head in my lap.
[Let's see, where was I? Oh yeah.]
Amy slid her legs with their precariously perched panties sultrily off the sofa and stood.
"Want a beer?" she asked as she shuffled ever so sexily in the direction of the kitchen. My circumstances imposed laryngital paralysis returned as I stared in slack-jawed silence until, almost simultaneously, Jerry burst [Kramer-on-Seinfeld style] through our front door, saying, "Tom, here's that twen..." and my wife waddled out of the kitchen, a bottle of beer in each hand, ankles still hobbled by those precious panties. Her walking difficulties immediately drew our neighbor's attention.
"...ty I owe you," Jerry finished in a cadence so slow he may well have just suffered a stroke.
"It's a bet Jerry," my wife said, completely blasΓ© to the fact that our neighbor was seeing her in that unconventional state. "When you get home you might want to double up on your thyroid meds. Song lyrics notwithstanding, Bette Davis bug eyes aren't actually attractive."
The bet!
I thought.
So that's what this is about, the bet. How could I have forgotten the bet?
As best I can recall, here's how the conversation went.
Me:
That's it! Oh yeah, that's it! Hell yeah, just like that! OH FUCKING HELL YEAH!!!!
Her: [Some moments later]
You're really addicted to those.
Me:
Me? What about you?
Her:
I like sucking cock, sure, but I'm not addicted like you.
Me:
Am not.
Her:
Are too.
Me:
Am not.
Her:
You're such a baby.
Me:
Am not.
Her:
You couldn't go a whole week without a blowjob.
Me:
Wanna bet?
Her:
I thought you gave up betting.
Me:
I gave up sports betting...like cock
fighting
. Cock
sucking
is a different matter entirely. Plus, sure things aren't bets.
Her:
No sports bets? Then why does Jerry have forty of our hard earned dollars this afternoon?
Me:
He only has twenty of our dollars smarty pants. He bought drinks, the bar at the clubhouse has twenty. Besides, with Jerry it isn't really a bet, it's more of a ...
Her:
