Chapter 5: Sherry Fulfills a Fantasy
Our sex life was definitely better since we "joined" the club, even though I felt like we were losing control of our lives. The problem was, I couldn't see a way out that didn't involve catastrophic consequences for our family, so we would have to remain Alex's playthings for now.
On Tuesday I was at my desk finishing up my work day when I received a call on my cell phone from Sherry. "Hello Dear, what's up?" I answered.
"Alex just called me. He wants me to go directly from work to his house for a "club function." she said quietly.
"OK, well I guess I'm making supper tonight." I sighed. "I assume he didn't ask for me too."
"No, he said it was solo tonight. The strange thing is he asked if I was wearing one of my professional outfits today, and when I told him I was he said 'Good, then you won't have to go home and change.' Isn't that weird?"
"It is," I admitted, "but it doesn't change anything. You still have to go. Call me when you are on your way home."
"I will. I love you."
"I love you too." I replied and then hung up. I wondered what Alex was up to, but I knew better than to ask him. Actually I did not remember seeing him at the office at all during the day, which really wasn't unusual, but it meant I wouldn't have the chance to run into him and maybe catch in an unguarded moment.
I drove home, my thoughts on my wife and what she might be going through, and I almost ran a red light. "I have to pay attention to my driving." I scolded myself and pushed my concerns about Sherry out of my mind. I met that task with limited success, but at least I made it home alive.
When supper was finished I read a book to the children after which they sat down to watch a video before bed time. Shortly after that the phone rang and Sherry's cell phone number came up on the caller-id. I answered it quickly.
"I'm on my way home." My wife's familiar voice sounded in my ear.
"Are you OK?" I asked nervously.
"I'm fine. I'll tell you all about it later. How are the kids?"
"They're OK; watching a video right now. They asked where you were and I told them you had to work late." I answered, happy for a little mundane talk about the family.
"That's good. I should be home before they have to go to bed, so I can spend a little time with them. I have to go now so I can drive." She never liked to talk on the cell phone while driving.
"OK, I love you very much. Bye."
"I love you too. Bye." She replied, the small familiar 'click' sound informing me that she hung up.
Even though she said she was 'fine', her voice had an edge to it that worried me. Jolene was true to her word and arrived home about a half hour before the children's bed time and spent it all with them. Meanwhile I made her supper which she wolfed down after the kids were safely in their beds. Then we retired to the living room where Sherry recounted her experiences of the evening.
Sherry's account: When I arrived at Alex's place I walked right in as he had instructed on the phone. Alex and two other men were sitting in the living room drinking some sort of dark liquid out of expensive looking tumblers. I did not recognize the other two men. They were around forty or forty-five years old, I guessed, and dressed in business suits. One of the men was about six feet tall and a little over weight, but the other one was probably four or five inches shorter and quite rotund.
Alex stood up and gave me a hug and pulled me aside. "I need you do as you are told, and I don't want any backtalk or hesitation." He said.
"You want me to have sex with these guys?" I asked, fearful of the answer.
"I want you to do as you are told, and just in case you are getting cold feet and are maybe thinking that the release of your video might not be so bad compared to what I'm asking you to do, consider this." He said as he held up a small silver card. No, it was a small gadget the size of a credit card with an LCD display showing a six digit number.
"Shit!" I thought, "That's my SecureToken card for accessing my company's network from home! I thought I had lost that, how did he get it?" My facial expression must have told him how alarmed I was.
"That's right, this is your card. I took it out of your purse when you were sucking me off at the bar. I used it to access the network at the company where you work." He claimed, but he didn't know my PIN, so he must be bluffing.
"You really shouldn't use the last four digits of your social security number as a PIN, it's not secure. So now maybe you believe me. What I did was install a logic bomb. If I don't reset it every day it will go off and plant entries into the corporate database that makes it look like you have been embezzling from your company for some time." He told me. I was stunned. "Remember that credit card I had you use at the mall? The forged records will lead back to that and the ATM records and video, not to mention the store records. This will prove beyond any doubt that you were embezzling money from your company and spending it on yourself."
"I could lose my job! I could go to jail!" I sobbed.
"Pull yourself together," he hissed at me, "now is not the time to fall apart. You are safe as long as you do what you are told." He handed me back my SecureToken card and I put it in my pocket.
I took a deep breath and steeled myself for what was to come. For some reason it was important to Alex that I please these men, so I made up my mind to do just that, even though it almost certainly meant that I would be having sex with both of them. This didn't appeal to me; I had gotten kind of used to Alex, Marc, Brian, and Johnny, but this was different. I didn't think I could possibly enjoy sex with these guys, so I would have to fake it completely.
