There's sitting at a bar by yourself drinking a tequila soda and then there's sitting at a bar by yourself drinking a tequila soda while stuffed with a butt plug.
You can guess which type of night I was having.
It was supposed to be book club for my wife and the rest of the ladies in her newsroom--thoroughbred dime-piece reporters and anchors of varying races talking about whatever book was trendy that month. What separated this book club from just about every other book club in the world is that it transitions into the women pulling out strapons and pegging me--the innocent husband of the 10 pm anchor. It all started with a surprise in which they caught me, ahem, experimenting solo in my own home. Last month, they played strapon roulette with my ass, laying me on a spinning ottoman and taking turns pounding me while the rest watched. Needless to say, I'd begun to look forward to book club much like the rest of the group.
However, my wife assured me there'd be no funny business tonight. The news director was coming. For those not in the know, the news director was the boss of the newsroom and almost always a 50-year-old white guy.
"So why am I even going?" I asked as we walked into the bar, a hip Asian-Mexican fusion joint with lots of purple and blue lights and peculiar things hanging on the walls as decor.
"Because I like showing you off," Jess leaned over and kissed my cheek. "You know they're all jealous they can't fuck you."
Her warm breath on my neck sent a chill through me. I put my arm around her and pulled her against me. Her arms followed suit, wrapping around my waist. She wore a jean jacket atop a tight white shirt and a pair of leather pants that might as well have been painted on. She looked good and she knew it.
Before we left the house, Jess inserted a neon pink plug the size of a cone-shaped ping pong ball into my ass. It took some finagling and a lot of lube but once it eclipsed my puckered asshole I gasped a four-letter word that rhymes with duck. She said only if I was a good boy.
So like a good boy, I sat at the bar solo watching some Mexican league soccer game and drinking tequila while my wife and her friends laughed and shrieked about god knows what from across the restaurant.
"Can I buy you a drink?"
I looked over my shoulder for the person belonging to the offer.
"You can," I said. "But I must confess my wife is sitting just over there."
"I know."
"You know?"
"I better. I hired her."
Then it clicked.
"You must be Toni."
"And you Ben. Great to finally meet you."
"You as well. I've heard a lot of good things."
"I can say the same for you. So what're you drinking?"
"Hornitos and soda," I said coolly.
"Oh alright," Toni said with a grin. Toni was also most certainly not a 50-year-old white dude. She was maybe 40, Hispanic with long, jet-black hair and thick lips. She wore high-waisted jeans that showed off her hips and highlighted a very voluptuous figure while her yellow and black plaid shirt nearly burst at the buttons trying to conceal her breasts.
"Do you have money riding on this game or something?" She asked.
"No, why, do I look like a gambler?"
"You're just fidgeting on your stool a lot."
I felt a wave of panic crash into me. Did she know? How much did she know? Was that an I-know-what-you-like smile or just a smile? I fought off the question avalanche with a rushed sip of tequila.
"Nope. Just nothing." I mumbled.
"Gotcha."
"So Jess was saying you're kind of one of the owners here?" I said with wavering confidence.
"Something like that. The actual owner is a good friend of mine and a few years back asked me for some help--vision-type consulting."
"Vision?"
"If you're going to open a tequila bar, you probably should consult a Mexican."
"Fair enough. So the artwork is all you?"
"Yes and no. I picked out a few pieces."
"Oh yeah? Which ones?" I craned my neck to look around the room. Toni nodded up at a massive mural above the bar that spanned the length of it. It depicted some scene from history except all of the people were skeletons and the scene itself looked cartoonish. Almost like a fever dream.
"Very cool," I said, secretly trying to make sense of it.
"Want to see something really cool?" Toni said with a sly grin.
"Sure."
"Come with me. Bring your drink."
"Okay, let me just tell Jess."
"You're good. I already told her I would steal you away."
"Oh alright. So where to?"
Toni led me into a long corridor lined with bright paintings of jungles and lizards. We passed by a set of restrooms, one for Caballeros the other for Damas, a constantly swiveling door leading into the kitchen, and finally a set of stairs up a narrow corridor. At the top was a solid black door with a keypad and the words: Managers Only stenciled across in small letters at eye level. Jess punched in a code and popped the door open with her hip.
Inside was a large office. Oak desk, artwork on the walls along with a small living area. It reminded me of a suite at a baseball game where you could sit on the balcony and watch the game or you could sit on a leather couch eating chicken tenders and watch another game on a giant tv. But as I walked in I noticed along the back wall there was a long window. I walked towards it, soon realizing that it provided a view down into the bar, like a foreman overlooking their warehouse.
"I didn't even notice this window down there," I said without looking at Toni.
"You wouldn't. It's actually the mural."
"Wow. That's pretty cool."
"Thought you'd like it?"
"How'd you come up with it?" I still looked out it, trying to locate Jess and company. They were still hooting and hollering from their corner booth.
"Oh definitely," Toni said. She sounded distracted. Or at least busy. "This way I can always keep an eye out for loners at the bar betting on Mexican soccer games."
I turned from the giant window to find Toni standing in the middle of the room--a crimson leather harness over her dark jeans and a black strapon dangling between her legs.
"Whoa."
It's all I could think of.
"What do you think?"
"I'm not sure what to think."
"Well, do you like?"
She did a little twirl. The harness cupped her ass sublimely, the straps pressing ever so slightly into the meat of her upper thighs. It warranted a firm slap. The opportunity for such a gesture twirled away, however, replaced by a long, thick, silicon cock swinging between her legs.
"Looks good," I mumbled.
"Which part?"
"All of it."
"That's what I thought."
We stood there a beat, me trying desperately not to stare and her making no bones about tracking my gaze.
"Do you like?"
"I'm not sure this is a good idea."
"Oh no?"
"No."
"And why's that?" Toni said with a little grin. She began to walk towards me and the strapon swung with her hips. She stopped just in front of me and put her hands on her hips, her tits jutting out and straining to stay in her shirt.
"I'm not sure Jess would approve."
"But she approved of the other girls having their way with you?" She said knowingly and teasingly.
"That was different," I said.
"Was it?"
"Yeah. This just doesn't feel right."
"Oh yeah?" Toni reached her hand towards my pants. Her hand immediately found the outline of my cock through my jeans. It was firm and growing against my best wishes. "I think it feels just right. And somebody else agrees."
She began to undo my fly but I stepped back.
"That's what makes this so hard."
"You don't say."
"Yeah. You're obviously smoking hot but, I love my wife and this isn't what I want."
I expected my declaration to deflate her a little bit but if it did, she didn't show it.
"Fair enough. But I think you're making a mistake. Jess told me you'd be down."
I weighed this. What if Jess was giving me the green light here and I was blowing it?
"Well, maybe some other time," I said with a sigh. "But I think I better get back down to the bar."
"Fine. You win. You know where the door is." Toni kept her hands on her hips while nodding back towards the door. I didn't hesitate and made a beeline for the exit. If this was really green-lit by Jess and I squandered it, I could live with that. I couldn't live with the alternative.
As I got to the door, I slid the deadbolt back and turned the handle.
And there she was.
Arms folded.
I froze. No words came to mind so instead I stared dumbly at Jess, hoping she couldn't see her boss standing behind me wearing a massive strapon.
She could.
"What's going on?" She asked firmly.
"Uh, nothing. Nothing. I was just leaving."
"Is that right? You guys have some fun?"
"Nope. No fun."
I tried to usher her out but instead, she put her hand on my chest and guided me back into the room. I peered over my shoulder at Toni, waiting, imploring her to say something to bail me out.
"Okay, okay. Before you say anything else, Jess, I have to put an end to this. You've got a good one here."
"Is that right?" Jess said without taking her eyes off me.
"I came at him with everything I had. And he turned me down. Said it wasn't right without you."
I blushed for some reason but I really just wanted to be someplace, any place else.
"Really?" Jess said. "My boss doesn't turn you on?"
"No."
"What?!" Toni chimed incredulously.
"I mean yeah, she's obviously hot."
