My wife Barb and I were at a dance club at the invitation of Barb's co-worker, Tracy. We were hanging with Tracy, her husband, Jerry, and a group of their friends; two women and four men, all black. We four are white. Everyone seemed friendly enough, even covering all our drinks. But Barb was already clearly tipsy and I was feeling increasingly uneasy.
Each man except for Jerry had danced with Barb and the three other women had danced with me; it was a dance club after all. But the last time I'd taken my wife out on the floor I'd gotten a vibe from the table like I was somehow interrupting her date with someone else.
Now, a big stud named Charles was guiding Barb to the dance floor with his hand firmly on her ass. She wasn't brushing it off. I needed to cut off the booze and maybe get her out of there.
I moved to follow, but one of the black women held my arm and said, "Stay and talk with me, sweetie."
"I'm afraid nature calls," I said.
She reluctantly made way.
Just then, Tracy came back from dancing with another linebacker type, Reggie. Taking in her long, toned legs, I noticed for the first time a silver anklet with a charm: a Spade marked with a Q.
I stood quickly, but Reggie blocked my way to the floor.
"Back in a second," I said, before heading to the men's room, where I ducked into the last stall to think. Soon after, some guys came in, joking loudly.
"Yo, Travis, is that a new white ho at your table?"
"Yeah, Tracy recruited us another Queen of Spades."
(general laughter)
"And her pussy husband came to watch?"
"Well," drawled Travis, "Tracy didn't tell the new bitch everything, but they'll catch on when we get her started sucking black cock soon."
