[This account is about something that happened last summer. I've been too busy to write about it until quite recently. Cal]
1. Ben's Proposition
It was a Wednesday afternoon back in June when my wife Nancy called me at work to tell me how her lunch meeting with Ben had gone. They'd eaten at a family restaurant somewhere in the Sunset District. He'd invited her to lunch to discuss a possible job offer involving the two of them -- a job that would involve their having sex in front of an audience.
"So, is that all you had with him -- lunch?" I asked. At some level, I was still struggling to trust the two of them together. She'd been pretty honest with me about their sexual relationship, but not scrupulously so.
She laughed and said that Ben had told her he wanted her for dessert but that she'd turned him down.
"So what exactly did you talk about?" I asked.
She explained his offer. But first she gave me a back-story that neither she nor I had known about before. It seems that Ben had told several of his friends about posing with a beautiful married woman about eight months earlier. He'd told them he'd been able to fuck her while a photographer, some guy named Cal (that's me, of course), took pictures of them. [This is described in the "Nancy and the Produce Man" series]. Since this photo-shoot the woman had separated from her husband (an imaginary guy named "Bob") and, after many months passed, he'd tracked her down and asked her out on a date.
On a date when he'd fucked her again. All night this time and in every way possible.
He'd told his friends that Nancy was the best fuck he'd had in his life (which, so far, had extended only to his twenty-third year).
A few days earlier a friend of a friend of Ben's (he continued), some guy who lived down the Peninsula in Santa Clara County, had phoned to ask him if he and the woman he'd posed with would be willing to have sex in front of a small group of men. It seems this guy arranged entertainment for certain businesses and said there was a lot of interest, especially among foreign business visitors, in this kind of act.
Ben's acquaintance said he thought he could pay him around $1000 for doing this. He'd have to split it with the woman he'd be performing with, though. Ben was cagey enough to ask for more money. He eventually talked the guy into promising to pay Nancy and him $600 each. And, the guy explained to Ben, there would be "tips" too.
I asked Nancy what exactly their act would consist of.
She wasn't sure. Ben had told her they'd be in front of a small group, maybe half a dozen men, who understood that they could only watch. One thing though: if the act were to happen, it would have to be in just two days, on Friday night. They'd have to drive down to Palo Alto, where the guy who was hosting the sex show lived.
Nancy told Ben this couldn't happen. She wasn't about to do anything like this on two days' notice. And besides, she didn't feel safe enough to jump into a situation involving "a friend of a friend" and a room full of strangers.
But more important, she told Ben, she had to be out of town for three day to spend some time with her mother. She'd be flying to Denver the next day (Thursday) to visit her.
If the job offer, or another one like it, still stood after she got back, she might consider it. But there would have to be conditions. Ben asked her what they were, and she told him she needed for him to take another AIDS test. She said she'd explain the other condition when she got back.
At first Ben protested against having to take another test but finally agreed to do it.
I was a little puzzled by Nancy's tale about her mother, who really does live in Denver but who isn't very close to her. But I couldn't talk any longer because I had to go to a meeting. She said she'd tell me more later when I got home.
I was very distracted for the rest of the day at work. I couldn't get images of Ben fucking my wife, or of her sucking his huge cock, out of my head. I tried to imagine a group of men getting to watching them performing various lewd acts.
When I got back from Berkeley at about 6:30, Nancy was upstairs. She shouted down the stairs that she'd be down in a minute. I went into the downstairs bathroom, took a piss, and got myself a beer from the refrigerator. All the way home on BART I'd been thinking about Nancy and Ben fucking in front of strangers. Would there be a sort of stage? Would there be some audience participation? I got an erection thinking about several possibilities.
Nancy, wearing a fairly low-cut yellow sun dress and sandals, joined me a few minutes later in the kitchen. She was braless, of course, and looked gorgeous. She kissed me, and when I responded to her, really kissed me. As we embraced, I lifted up her dress and gripped her perfect little ass cheeks in my hands. She wasn't wearing panties either.
She broke the kiss and asked me if I was hungry. I said I was and would she mind if we ate out somewhere.
"I hope that's not a criticism of my cooking," she said.
I kissed her again and said, "Not at all. I'd just like to get out of the house. And I need to hear more about your conversation with Ben and why you invented that strange story about having to visit your mother."
She started to explain: "It was a spur of the moment thing. Ben's an OK guy and I think he's trying to be helpful, but I don't want him to be a big part of my life. He seems to take it for granted that I'll do anything he wants me to. So I made up this excuse to be unavailable to him for a few days."
"To punish him?" I asked. I was kidding her, but she must've thought I was being serious.
"No, just to slow things down a little," she explained. "I actually have fun displaying myself to men, especially if I'm in control of the situation. I'm just not sure about this particular situation. How do you feel about it?"
I told her the truth: "I have mixed feelings. Watching you in action with Ben has been a real turn-on for me. And I know you like it, too. I mean being fucked by him. But this could be a little risky. If you decide to do it, I definitely have to be there. I don't want you going who-knows-where on your own. I don't trust Ben to protect you if things go sideways. He's still pretty much a kid."
"How could you manage to go with us?" she asked. I told her my plan, which involved my assuming the role of her "agent."
We went out to dinner and talked it over some more. We speculated about what we'd been calling "the situation." Would this pimp-for-businessmen guy in Palo Alto have something like a stage set up? How close would the audience members be? And what would she (and Ben) have to do to earn "tips"?
