Nearly four months had passed since Nate's birthday, and the dramatic change in the Hill's sex life. Nate and Marianne, always good as a couple, were sexually on fire. For the first time in Marianne's life, orgasm was a daily destination, and sex was a topic she actively explored, not just for Nate, but for herself.
For New Year's Eve, the Hill's were again invited to 'the' party, just as they had been for several years running. But this year they did something different. At Marianne's insistence, they accepted. She booked an overnight room in the same building, so they could enjoy themselves with no worries about driving home. The Metropolitan New Year's Party, simply dubbed "The Party" by its organizers, was an annual black-tie affair. It was an inevitable who's who of local celebs, politicians, and muckety-mucks. In those terms, this year's rendition was no disappointment.
As the Hill's circulated among the guests, Nate particularly enjoyed watching his wife. Her dress was a splendid blend of sex and sophistication. The way the the shimmering blue fabric caressed and danced on her curves was fascinating. When backlighted, the material was just transparent enough to reveal faint fleeting outlines of her legs. If Marianne didn't notice Nate staring, others did. As he was at the bar, awaiting drinks, he turned back for another glimpse, as a striking brunette sidled up to him. "I hope that's your wife," she quipped in a husky voice, snapping Nate from his stupor. He chuckled turning to her, "It is. Was I that obvious?" Without answering, she smiled and introduced herself, "I'm Vicky Mason."
Nate shook her hand, "Nate Hill," he responded. Though he'd never met her, as soon as she introduced herself, he recognized Victoria Mason, the Mayor's wife and a cut-throat attorney. They talked a minute or so before the attendant handed Nate his drinks, a gin and tonic and a glass of chardonnay. As he took them and turned, Marianne was right there, smiling with an eyebrow cocked. "Uh ... who's your friend, Nathan?" Marianne turned to Victoria.
Before he had a chance to respond, Victoria stepped forward smiling and hugged Marianne, "Happy New Year, Marianne. How are you?"
"Great, and you?"
"Oh, we're okay. It's an election year though, so ... you-know," Victoria lamented.
"Vicky, I assume you met my husband, Nate?"
Vicky's eyes twinkled. Glancing at Nate with a devilish leer, she mused "Yes. We met. The way he was undressing you with his eyes, I hoped he was your husband."
Turning to Nate, Marianne posed with hands on hips in fake indignation, "Well Dr. Hill, it seems I can't take you anywhere." They laughed and after a few more words, Vicky moved off to continue mingling.
"So how do you know Victoria Mason" Nate asked curiously, handing her the wine as they moved through the crowd.
"Remember the fundraiser we did a few years back? That's where I met her. Since then, charity events mainly. She's a member of the club as well. Nice lady, but I hear she's a nasty lawyer. .... So? .... Undressing me with your eyes, were you?" she asked her husband as she led him to a covered table with four empty chairs.
"Guilty." Nate admitted.
Nate took a seat with his back to the wall, facing the crowd. Before taking a seat, Marianne stepped away briefly modeling her dress again for him. With her back to a brightly lit doorway, her silhouette from the waste down easily visible, and she knew it. Then she maneuvered a second chair around adjacent to his, squeezing it into the space between table and wall then slipping her legs under the white tablecloth to sit next to him. "So you like my dress?" she asked with a knowing smirk, and her tongue cutely poking her cheek.
"The dress is magnificent, Mrs. Hill. Especially in the backlight."
"Oh, yeah? Why's that? " she asked as she began stroking his thigh.
"It's a bit translucent," he answered as he smiled.
"Oh, yeah? So ... what can you see? Can you see my legs go, uhm ... " she slid Nate's left hand between her knees, and eased it slowly up her thigh to her moistening sex, ".... uh-huh ... all the way up to here?" Placing her right hand over his left, she pushed his finger into her warm, moist passage. She closed her eyes, laid her head back against the wall, and ever so subtly, humped his hand. He was taken aback she'd shown up at the gala pantyless, but it was quite a turn-on. Their table was in a shadowed spot, out of the way of the main crowd. Its location and the tablecloth provided some cover.
As Nate studied the mix of partygoers no more than twenty feet away though, he felt certain someone might recognize what was going on. The tent in his tuxedo trousers was immediately obvious. Mary dreamily opened her eyes glanced down at it, and smiled, before she laid her head back and resumed her very subtle wiggle. Nate scanned the crowd, on lookout for anyone appearing to take notice. He could feel his quickening pulse, as she worked his fingers, each heartbeat transmitted to his empurpled prick head. "Oh, how good it would feel to have Mary going down on it, right now," he thought. He ceased scanning the crowd, and began surveying for a potential more private spot. Perhaps a restroom ....
"Nate? Marianne? Happy New Year!" Theresa and Phil Cooper lived across the street from the Hills. They were investment bankers. The Hills had a security account with Theresa. They surmised she was the brighter of the two. Nate jumped and reflexively jerked to withdraw his hand from his wife's steaming nether region. But as she opened her eyes to acknowledge the interruption, Mary pressed firmly down on his hand with her own, and closed her legs tightly, pinning it in place. Without rising, she extended her left hand to Theresa's, greeting her. Nate had started up, but sat back when he realized he was obscenely tenting beneath his cummerbund, and Mary had his left hand pinned and captured anyway. He shook Phil' hand from more or less a sitting position, as the Coopers took their seats across the table.
"Marianne, we saw you with your eyes closed. Are you feeling okay? If it's a headache, I've got some aspirin ..." Theresa offered.
"No, no. Thank you though. I was just relaxing ...." Then as she resumed stealthily massaging her sex with Nate's hand, she looked at him feigning concern, "Nate is actually the one with a headache. Aren't you, Honey? It must feel like it's going to burst by now," her thighs gave his hand a teasing squeeze.
"Oh ... well here ..." Theresa resumed digging in her purse.
"No thanks ..." he started. But Marianne interrupted again with faux concern furrowed in her brow, "Are you sure, Sweetheart. Wasn't it just throbbing?" She pressed his fingers deeper into her.
He returned her look with a wry smile, which was far too revealing, "No Honey. I'm going to get you to take care of it later on though."
Nate's innuendo was so obvious Theresa put her hand to her mouth smiling "Oh!" Phil was grinning.
