It had been literally years since weād gone out like this together. Between work, the kids, cub scouts, girl scouts, mowing the lawn and every other activity that consumed almost every waking moment, there was little time for just us. We finally moved this past summer slightly closer to home. A few weeks before the millenium Carolās parents called and said theyād be coming down for New Years Eve. They even volunteered to watch the kids if we wanted to go out. At first we hemmed and hawed and procrastinated about what we would do when my company offered up free tickets to a black tie affair down town at the Embassy Suites Hotel. The only catch was that we had to pay for our own room for the night. It seemed like a pretty good deal from my perspective.
Carol and I went down and checked in that after noon.
āThis is going to be fun ā she said as we walked through the hotel not encumbered by little arms asking when can we go to the pool, can we have some candy, heās bothering me.
Our room was a two-room suite with a king bed, a couch and a little living room. It was pretty damn nice. I took a shower while Carol got dressed. I was getting anxious so she told me to wait for her down at the bar. I ran into some of the guys from my office and we had a few drinks while I waited for my wife. Scott and Lee were both going stag to the night. Scott's wife couldnāt come and Lee was recently divorced. We sat together critiquing the women as they came in. āNiceā¦.. niceā¦. Averageā¦.. averageā¦. yuck, owwwā¦. Averageā¦.. very niceā That was in response to the nice looking blond that was walking right towards me.
ā Very, very niceā I said to my self as I recognized my wife of 12 years. She had on a sparkling, long black halter dress that showed her shoulders and had a slit up to her mid thigh. The string of pearls Iād given her the day I proposed was draped around her neck. Her blond hair was tied in a tight bun on her head with small pearl studs in her ears. Strappy heeled black shoes covered her feet and a small gold chain was draped around one ankle. The back of the dress was open almost to her tight little ass. I had to admit it was making me hard just looking at her. I was very impressed, and I think my two co-workers were too.
āHello handsome, she said. ā Buy me a drinkā
I was smiling from ear to ear. āYou look fantastic,ā I told her
āWhy thank you. I thought you might like itā
That was an under statement.
She sipped her drink and continued ā Its been so long since weāve been away for the weekendā I offered her my arm and we walked off to the ballroom. I was pretty sure that more than one guy caught a second glimpse as she walked by.
There were hundreds of people in the huge room. We had a table with some other couples and joined them for dinner. Dinner was filled with the idle chat that people who know each other but really donāt know each other engaged in social intercourse. The band was pretty good. It ought to be, considering what the company had paid for the tickets. Carol and I danced like a couple of college kids. I was having a blast. They switched to a slower song and she hung her head on my shoulder and I could smell the faint hint of her perfume. My hands rested on her hips and I slowly slid them down to her rear. I could feel the silky fabric slide over her ass and looked down at her. She had a slight smirk on her face.
āNo pantiesā she whispered as I felt myself getting hard again. She kissed me gently on the lips and said, āI love youā
āI love you tooā I replied.
We sat back down and I noticed that a bit of the crowd had slipped away. Carol said, āWho is that waving at you?ā It was Lee sitting by himself about two tables over.
āHeās one of the guys I work with. You know, the one whose wife left him last year. He goes to the gym with me. ā
Lee waved again. Carol added, ā Thatās too bad. He looks lonely tonight. ā
ā Go dance with himā I said.
āWhat? Itās not my night to take care of charity cases.ā
ā Oh go ahead. He doesnāt biteā
āNo way, besides I couldnāt just walk over there and ask him to dance. What kind of woman would he think I was?ā
ā Jeesses,ā I muttered. I looked over at Lee and waved to him to come join us. At first he gave a friendly no thanks wave but I waved again. He picked up his drink and walked over to our table.
āCarol, this is Lee. Lee, Carol, my wife.ā
Lee sat down and we started talking. I goaded him about being there alone and that seemed to bother Carol.
āLeave him alone you big lout,ā she said
āIts okā Lee said in my defense. ā It comes with the territory.ā
The band started up again and Carol looked at me with that lets dance look. āIām tired I moaned. You are wearing me out. Maybe Lee wants to dance. ā
āNo, thatās ok ā he said.
