Hi, I'm Donna. I've been married to Ben for a number of years and we've had a great relationship. I love him very much and we usually get along really well, but sometimes he can really piss me off. This was one of those times.
Ben has a friend named Steve, an ex-coworker from a previous job. They go out about once a month or so and usually go to a bar and just talk about work stuff (boring). I've never met Steve, but they seem to get along well.
Last night they had gone out together and got a bit drunker than usual. Ben called and asked if I would pick him up since he didn't want to drive home. It was late, but they were just down the street and I was still dressed, so I agreed and went to pick him up.
When I got there, he asked me if I minded if Steve spent the night since he was too drunk to drive home as well. We had a guest room and I didn't want to be the reason somebody drove drunk and hurt somebody, so I agreed.
When we got home, I helped Ben into the house and Steve stumbled in after us. I showed Steve to the guest room and brought Ben back to the master bedroom.
As we were getting ready for bed, Ben told me that he lost a bet to Steve. I thought that was odd because Ben doesn't gamble, but figured it was just a gentleman's bet with nothing really on the line. However, when he told me what he had bet, I was livid.
He had bet a night with me! Like I was a piece of property that could be gambled away without even my consent (not that I would ever consent to something like that). I couldn't believe he had done that. I stormed out of the room and went down to the kitchen. He was going to regret that bet!
I tried to think of a way to get even with him and came up blank. I had gotten myself quite worked up about it and decided to take a shot of whiskey to try to calm myself down a bit, after all, I did need to go to sleep sometime tonight and, considering how mad I was, probably wouldn't be able to without some liquid help. A few shots later and I had become a bit drunk.
I started to think about Steve. He was very attractive, with looks like what I frequently fantasize about (tall, nice hair, handsome face, etc.). He was probably a few years younger than me, but that was OK with me. I still wanted to get back at Ben for what he did. What if I settled that bet? Obviously, I wouldn't actually do anything with Steve, but I could make Ben think I was going to. Maybe slip into some lingerie, making sure Ben saw me, and then go ask Steve if he needed anything before going to bed? That would teach Ben not to do something this stupid.
Before I knew it, I marched back into the master bedroom, walked past Ben, who appeared to be asleep on the bed, though I was pretty sure he was faking to avoid my wrath (he usually snores when he's drunk) and went into the closet. I changed into my sexiest lingerie and threw on the matching, silk robe over the top (I certainly wasn't going to go knocking on another man's door half naked).
I walked out of the closet and stopped at the foot of the bed with my robe open so Ben could fully appreciate what I was wearing. He was pretending to be asleep, but I could tell he had his eyes partially open so he could see me (he's not subtle when he's drunk). When he noticed what I was wearing, he started to stir, acting like he was waking up, probably thought he was going to get lucky. Not tonight you jerk! I turned and left the room before he could "wake up."
I shut the door and stopped just outside. My heart was racing. What was I doing? This didn't seem like such a great idea anymore. It was obvious the alcohol I had just drank was impairing my judgment. I had never been intimate with another man before, including letting them see me in lingerie. Ben was my first and only. I was mad at Ben for gambling me away, but is this something I should do? I was overthinking it. Just peeking in and asking him a question wouldn't hurt anybody. The robe mostly covered me, it's not like I was naked or anything, and I've certainly been to the beach wearing less than this.
I nervously approached the guest room, which was next door to the master. I was beginning to think I couldn't go through with this. I had started getting a little horny thinking about Steve seeing me in my lingerie and I think that made me even more nervous. No, I needed to see this through, Ben needed to worry enough to remember not to try gambling me away in the future.
I tied the robe closed and opened the door to the guest room. Whoops, in my nervousness, I forgot to knock! The room was dark, but there was enough light coming in through the blinds from the streetlight outside that I could easily see him lying in bed with the covers down around his waist, sound asleep (whew, close call).
