Life returned to normal after Tom and I spent most of the day Sunday talking about everything from feelings about what had happened to me, to how we might move forward in the future. By Wednesday I was starting to feel pretty good about myself when I got a phone call from Tom.
He wanted to be sure I was OK with Frank and Henry after what had happened because Frank was coming to Cleveland on Thursday to sign all the papers and he planned to spend the weekend here with his wife.
Tom went on to say that they were going to take Frank and his wife to the club on Friday night and if weather permitted, he would like to invite them for a pool party on Saturday.
All I could do was ask if my presence would be required on Friday evening as I would need to find a sitter for the kids and something to wear. Feeling like I was looking for an excuse, Tom said that it would be nice if there was another woman there beside Joan. Then as if he were reading my mind, he said that it would be casual and something similar to last Saturdays skirt and blouse would be appropriate.
We had been to a number of events at the club. We were not official members, but the company sponsored a number of events there. Some of them were very elaborate while others were more along the lines of a backyard barbeque.
I assured my husband that I was a big girl and that I would be by his side in whatever he chose to do. Knowing that we would be spending both Friday evening and Saturday with Frank put me in a complete panic. After assuring my husband that I was OK, I looked at it realistically and new that I was anything but OK.
I spent Thursday and Friday preparing for our Saturday back yard event. I had shopping to do, food to prepare, a house to clean and I still had to find a Friday night sitter for the 2 boys. I guess staying busy helped keep my mind off dealing with my feelings and the time went quickly.
Friday afternoon, Tom called to ask if I could find my way to the club as he and a few of the guys were taking Frank out for drinks after work.
As Friday evening approached I decided on a skirt similar to the knee length one that I had worn last Saturday night. I then chose a little nicer button down blouse that was a bit more revealing and my three inch heels. I treated myself to a nice hot bath and then without knowing if I would have time to shave for my Saturday bathing suit, I decided to shave my pubic hair. Instead of stopping at the bikini line, I proceeded to remove all the blonde hair from between my legs. When I was finished and examining myself in the mirror, I started wondering if maybe I would be encouraging Frank a little more this evening then I was willing to admit. I was determined that if Frank pushed me tonight, anything that happened would be on my terms.
Instead of my normal white cotton undergarments, I put on my sexiest, clip in the front bra and thong panties. With my newly shaven pussy, I could clearly see the outline of my lips under the thong.
I managed to get the boys to the sitter and get to the club as requested, exactly at 7:30. I was surprised by the large crowd, most of who had worked with Tom for years and their spouses. It took a few minutes to find Tom. We were joined at a table by Frank, Joan, Henry and three other sales reps.
Dinner was served promptly at 8. I was so nervous that I barely ate a thing. My big mistake was that in the hopes of finding my courage, I had too much to drink. Frank was absolutely charming as he shared some old war stories and kept the conversation going by seeming to be genuinely interested in everything that everyone said. You would have had a hard time comparing this man to the one that used me last Saturday.
At 9 o'clock the music started and Frank caught me completely off guard when he asked Tom if he would share me for this first dance. Tom looked at me and assured Frank that I was capable of making those decisions for myself.
I really had no choice but to let Frank take my hand and lead me to the dance floor. He turned out to be a very good dancer. I had my work cut out for me just trying to keep up with this man twice my age. After the third dance he returned me to the table without so much as leaving a finger print on me. He was absolutely charming and in spite of what he had done to me, I was beginning to think that I may have figured all wrong.
The evening went wonderfully. I had multiple dance partners and even had some time to talk with Joan. Neither of us mentioned the prior Saturday's events.
The crowd was thinning out and it must have been after midnight when Frank asked me for a last dance. They had been playing mostly slow songs which are about all the energy I had left. Frank led me over to the farthest corner of the dance floor and just when I was going to complement him for being such a gentleman, he pulled me closer than I was comfortable with and lifted my chin to his waiting mouth. As he kissed me on the lips, I decided that even though it was wrong for him to do that, I was going to take charge. Instead of pulling away, I opened my mouth and went in search of his tongue with mine. I was determined to do this my way.
As startled as he appeared to be, he recovered quickly and locked my lips to his in a very long French kiss. He then proceeded to move his left hand between us. As he held me close with his right arm, he used the fingers of his left hand to start fondling my right tit. Without any sign of that timid little woman from last week, I grabbed him by the balls and told him that this was not the place for such behavior.
Not knowing if it was because Tom was there, or if my bluff had worked, he backed off. Just as he did, I remembered my conversation with Tom about actually liking what Frank had done to me and about Tom encouraging me to date other men.
Not knowing how to handle all these emotions, I asked him to wait here for me as I went to find Tom. Tom was sitting at the table talking to Joan and Henry. Almost everyone else had gone. I pulled Tom aside and whispered that if I could figure out how to make it happen, I was going to go home with Frank.
Dumbfounded, my husband just started to say you mean.....I cut him off and said I would tell him everything in the morning but that if I was going to do this, it had to be now.
