The thick oversize first-class envelope didn't feel like junk mail, so Brandi took a second look on her way to the waste can. It had a return address at 550 East 50th Street, Level 45, New York, NY. That was uptown, East side, near 5th Avenue shopping and Grand Central, just a few blocks from Stuart's office in the uptown financial district. Brandi opened the package.
What she found startled her so much she thought she would faint. The cover letter was an invitation to something called the Dionysus Retreat ten days hence on Saturday night. Behind that was a handsome multi-page offset-printed color brochure describing an exclusive club, a sex club. And behind that, there was a guidebook by one Lady Sonia Drapier that she could hardly believe. After sitting down to catch her breath, Brandi's next move she decided should be to pick up the phone and call her best friend Joan.
"Damn if I didn't get one too!" Joan gasped. "Have you opened the guidebook?"
"Are you kidding?" Brandi quickly replied.
"Well, I did! You know me. Always out there, first in line, volunteering for anything. The Guidebook to Big Cock Sex is just what it says it is -- a matter-of-fact informative manual with instructions, diagrams, and pictures. Lots of pictures.
"Really? No way!" replied Brandi.
"Yes. Go ahead, have a look. You won't faint. Think Helen Ready; you're a woman W-O-M-A-N with lots of married life behind you and that trip to St. Lucia. You can take it!"
"Not me! Maybe you Joan, but not me! You always were out front, more curious than the rest of us about all things sexual. You're the head cheerleader. Admittedly, I'm the big-boobs prom queen. But you've bested me on that too now with your breast implants. They're spectacular by the way. I've written myself a note to tell you so every week for ten weeks, just in case Brock is not doing so."
"Oh, you know Brock. Always a tits man all the way. He gets practically giddy now every time I turn sideways. It's our little joke. I turn sideways, and he gets this big shit-eating grin on his face. So glad I got my implants Brandi! It's really spiced up his consciousness of all things sexual. We're touching one another under the table in restaurants and heavy petting in the back of taxicabs the way we used to twenty-five years when we first started dating. I even flashed him last week! Can you believe it! It's all gotten a little out of control. Last week I also tried the turning sideways thing on him at an Irish wake. It was for someone we really didn't know at his brokerage firm. 'Just checking' I told him when the grin plastered across his face threatened to disrupt the honoring of the deceased. Now this invitation to the Dionysus Retreat?"
"Joan, what are we going to do?" asked Brandi. "Stuart and Brock have to know something about all this. Should we just throw these envelopes away?" She knew she had always deferred to Joan on all matters relating to sex. Joan was her confidant, her marriage counselor, her GYN advisor, and her trigger for trying something she hadn't tried before.
"No," replied Joan. "I say we confront Brock and Stuart. You know they've got to be behind this? The club is just three blocks from their offices. How could they not be behind it? How exactly would you go about talking your wife into joining a sex club? I want to see what they're going to say?"
"That's an excellent idea!" Brandi responded and then thought out loud, "Of late they have been dwelling on the theme of spicing up our sex lives, haven't they?"
"We got them going in St. Lucia, and now this!" said Joan. "I suspect they are planning on having a good laugh at our expense when we finally get around to telling them about the incredible mail we threw away. Tell you what, why don't we surprise them and play along. I bet they never would expect that, and they'll get really nervous if we act the least bit interested. Then we all can have a good laugh."
"Ok, I could do that," replied Joan. "Just have some fun with this."
"Right, we'll see what they have to say, and then we'll just play along," added Joan.
"Hang on! You mean you'd actually accept this invitation and go to the Dionysus Retreat?" asked Brandi with apprehension.
"I just mean Stuart and Brock will either confess or plead ignorance. If they're not freaked out about some strange men with big cocks getting into our pants, we'll know they probably were just playing a prank, and we'll just have a good laugh. If they pretend they know nothing about it all, then we should play along and show a little interest. I guess if they called our bluff, we'd have to go. It's just a pre-initiation event after all. But I don't really think there's a chance it would come to that."
"But Joan?" inquired Brandi posing the obvious question, "What if they didn't trigger the invitations and by telling them about it, we get them interested in going?"
"Well, that wouldn't be an absolute disaster, would it? We'd just go and have some role playing sorta like the night six weeks ago on my birthday at the Top of the Town dinner club, remember?"
Brandi replied, "Yeah, that was fun, especially the way that one waiter kept looking up your dress to see if you really weren't wearing any panties? That was some birthday suit you had on girl!"
"I know. That transparent body stocking really turned me on! Just like it turned me on to be exposed in the ultra-high white heels, short dress, and no panties on vacation last summer in St. Lucia," recalled Joan.
