It was a normal Saturday night neighborhood gathering, Bev and Mike next door, Steve and Loni from down the street, Tina and Tim and Randy and I. Bev and Mike's daughter Mandy had baby-sitting duties for the under ten crowd downstairs in the family room while we grown-ups sat out on Bev and Mike's new deck enjoying the fading twilight and after-dinner drinks.
"So let me get this straight," Bev paused to light a cigarette. "Randy sold you for a mere $1100.00?"
"Hell, let me write you a check then." Tim teased, reaching into his back pocket.
"Hey, it was a dream." Randy held up his hands defensively. "Is it my fault she fell asleep watching
Indecent Proposal?
"
"All I remember is that I was so pissed at him. I mean, hell, I give blow jobs that are worth more than that." I took a sip of my wine and made a face at Randy before continuing with my story. "And it was to this old geezer that I was supposed to literally fuck to death. I mean, he and his wife are handing me their social security checks and everything." Everyone around the table laughed heartily as I retold the dream I had had earlier in the week.
"Was he any good?" Tina asked curiously.
I rolled my eyes. "I dunno. Mercifully I woke up before anything happened. But the pile of straps and harnesses on the bed didn't bode well for the evening."
"You know, I always figured the problem with that movie was that they were newlyweds." Loni commented, snagging a potato chip from the bowl in front of her. "I mean, don't get me wrong, but Steve and I have been married long enough that if somebody offered one million dollars for a night with me I'd gladly fuck my way to a better zip code."
"Works for me." Steve looked over at his wife and nodded laughingly. "My half of that would certainly be more than enough for greens fees at all the best country clubs."
"What do you mean 'your half?'" Loni asked indignantly, brandishing her chip at him threateningly. "I'm the one doing all the work here."
"Didn't we say something like 'for richer or poorer' when we got married?" Steve returned, reaching for the chip in her hand and putting it in his mouth before she took an eye out with it.
"Not my vows, Honey." Loni assured him playfully. "I'm pretty sure the only thing I agreed to is not kicking you out on your sorry ass out when you opted to go golfing instead of going to my family reunion."
"It was a work thing." Steve defended. "Sheesh, you are never gonna let me live that down, are you?"
"Not in this lifetime." Loni promised, fishing another chip out of the bowl and biting down on it sharply.
"So, how much would you do it for?" Mike asked, taking a swig of his beer and watching me closely.
I shrugged, having not really given it much thought beyond knowing that I was worth far more than $1100.00. "I dunno. What are you offering?" I teased playfully.
"How about the Chevelle?" Mike asked, casually leaning back in his seat.
That caught Randy's attention. He had not-so-secretly coveted Mike's 1967 Chevelle SS since he had finished restoring it three years ago. "You'd be willing to trade the Chevelle for a night with Trish?" He asked with entirely too much interest for my liking.
"I might." Mike's eyes ran slowly over my body and I could almost feel his intimate perusal.
I squirmed a little in my seat. Damn but that man had the sexiest stare imaginable. "Uhm, don't you think Bev might mind just a little?"
Bev blew a smoke ring into the night, shrugging off the question. "Nahβ¦we've been married long enough too."
Randy looked at me hopefully. "Aw Honey, it'd be for the Chevelle. It has a 396 Big Blockβ¦" Randy stated wistfully. "Hell, I'd fuck him for that."
Yup. My husband had lost his mind. In my dream world he was willing to sell me for a paltry $1100, and in the real world it was even worse. All he wanted was a stupid car. I considered my options for a moment, deciding whether to plead righteous indignation or turn his own argument against him. "Well, it really would all depend." I opted for turning the tables.
"On?" Mike asked, watching me closely.
"On what you have under the hood." I told Mike with a playful wink.
"Oh no need to worry about that, Trish." Bev assured me nonchalantly. "Mike makes that 396 Big Block look like a lawn mower engine." And why was his wife encouraging this?
Mike stood up and smiled wickedly at me. "Want to take a look under the hood?"
The cat-calls abounded. What the hell was going on? It wasn't like we were all drunk off our asses. But here was Mike willing to trade his car for a night with me. Okay. Fine. If they could play, so could I. I stood up and crooked my finger for Mike to follow me into the house, putting a little extra shimmy into my walk as I went.
"So we stay in here for a few minutes and let them think I'm checking out your dick, right?" I nonchalantly asked over my shoulder as I headed for the bottle of wine across the room.
Mike was right behind me, cornering me against the counter. "Come on Trish, haven't you ever fantasized about us? Even just a little?" He braced his hands on either side of me, preventing my escape.
"This is insane." I defended, turning to face him. "We're all gonna wake up in the morning and wonder what the fuck we were thinking."
"That's not an answer." Mike moved close enough and I could feel the desire rolling off of him in waves.
"Oh come onβ¦like you'd really trade the Chevelle." I protested, clinging to the hope that this was all just some stupid game.
"I'm done with it and ready to move on to something else." His hands slid onto my hips and he gently pulled me against his ohmigod massive hard-on. "And I have wanted to fuck you for such a long time."
"You have?" I asked a little breathlessly. This was not the type of conversation I was used to having with my neighbors.
"Uh-huh." Mike slowly rubbed that beautiful hard-on against my pelvis, his mouth mere inches above mine. "Bev knows it too."
Bev knew too?
