I know this story is a little long. But the truth be told by Angeliqueâs husband Kyle. I hope you enjoy the twists, Angelique did.
*****
I canât believe all this has happened to me, or to us I should say. One day Iâm climbing up the corporate ladder, riding the crest of the wave it seems, the next thing I know my life is a complete nightmare or worse. I didnât imagine anything like this could happen-but it did. I need to write it down so maybe I can sort this thing out in my mind, if I can.
It all started on my wifeâs on coming birthday. Well, let me explain a little about Angelique, if I can. Sheâs simply a goddess, so beautiful and sexy, though a bit spoiled, at times she can act like a bitch, itâs true. And I thought I could provide her with all the things she wanted and needed, but Iâm not so sure now.
Our marriage started off on such a positive note, after all being hired on at Waller Industries was a big step in my career. We bought a nice big house and I bought her, her own car. She had money to shop ,one of her great passions. We had memberships at the exclusive Three Pines Country Club, courtesy of Waller Industries. Life seemed.... Well, great, or so I thought.
Looking back now, I think it all started at that dinner party we attended at Jason Wallerâs home. Estate would be a better word. The function was held in my honor so to speak, to celebrate my promotion. All four of the Vice Presidents and wives attended. Letâs just say Angelique was in her element she looked well, radiant, so beautiful. I remember how her strand of pearls seemed to glow in the soft candlelight. I knew she was happy, it just showed, I thought she was proud of me too, for my achievements, for getting us this far so fast.
Maybe I should have paid a little more attention to what was going on, but I was celebrating and these boys were drinking so to speak, so I didnât find it too unusual when Angelique struck up a friendship with Charlotte Waller, who was the strikingly gorgeous blonde wife of Jason Waller of course. Not that this was odd in any sense, just unusual for Angeliique. I mean my wife just never seemed to have many female friends, she always remained rather aloof in their company, so to speak. I assumed she was doing this to further my career. Later I realized that they indeed shared a common bond, a new friendship, obviously though, this wasnât the only friendship that started that night.
Let me explain if I can. I more or less knew all the males present that night at the table, except one. He didnât seem to fit in with the rest of us, and I knew he wasnât a Vice President or anything, or even employed by our company. He sat next to Charlotte, who sat next to Angelique, but across from her. Lets say he took this opportunity to gaze upon my wife, to say the least he devoured her, like she was the only woman in the room. I must say it bothered me a bit, but Angelique didnât seem to notice, or at least pretended not too. On a few occasions throughout dinner Charlotte grabbed his arm, affectionately, including, referring to this stranger in their conversation, in which I paid little attention to being engaged in Jasonâs business topics. Maybe I should have paid more attention, but as it turned out, there is little I could have done about anyway.
It was after dinner things took a little turn for the worse. We had retired to the large game room for cigars and brandy, the conversation turning to sports, a topic I admit I knew little about. So I kept quite. Meanwhile our hostess and the wives gathered around the billiard table, preparing to play a game. I stood with the men at the bar sort of feeling left out. here stood this stranger, drinking whiskey. Iâm sorry he just made me uncomfortable. Maybe it was his size, big broad shoulders that seemed to want to bust or rip the seams of his suit jacket. Then too was his hair, thick and long, the ponytail cascading down his back, but it was his eyes-intense, full of confidence. They could mesmerize you, I think, especially the ladies, including Charlotte Waller who seemed to adore this man. Why would Jason then, tolerate this? It just seemed strange.
Trust me things were about to get a lot more strange.
As we men were busy conversing, this Mako character excused his self and made his way over to the pool table where Charlotte and Angelique were engaged in a game. Nobody paid much attention except me. I suddenly felt extremely uncomfortable.
He said something to them and they both laughed. Next thing I knew he picked Al Hamillâs wife as a partner and they proceeded to play a game. I glanced at Al, who didnât seem to notice or care, what was happening. Then why did I? I must admit I burned with jealousy. This good looking stranger was obviously attracted to my beautiful wife; he had stared at her all throughout dinner. Was she attracted to him? As if to answer my own question, suddenly he guided her effortlessly against the table, instructing her how to hold the stick, to aim at the cue. The embrace seemed to last forever. I wanted to rush over to interrupt, but at the same time I didnât want to appear jealous in front of everyone, including my boss. Perhaps an excuse to leave would be a better option. I knew I had to get my sweet wife away from this man.
âWell gentlemen itâs getting late.â I announced looking at my Rolex.
Jason Waller smirked. âNonsense, the night is still young.â
âAnd besides we havenât played panty pool yet.â Al Hamill chipped in.
âPanty pool?â I had never heard of this game before.
Jason laughed wrapping his arm around me, propelling me forward towards the pool table.
âLook Kyle, you canât leave your own dinner party so early, without being introduced to a Waller Industry tradition.â He looked me in the eye and I knew I wasnât going anywhere-yet.
âAll of our new managers participate.â He explained his arm still around my shoulders.
âExactly what does this involve?â I asked.
âJust a little friendly competition young man. A game of billiards for a small wager.â
âWell sir, Iâm really not that good at billiards.â
âWell we will have to remedy that, wonât we?â
âI guess, if you say so.â I agreed not wanting to displease Mr. Waller.
âI do declare Jason; you didnât inform Kyle about the wager?â Charlotte spoke.
âAhh yes, the wager. As I said itâs a company tradition to wager a ladies pair of panties. That is ,if the lady agrees.â
He and I looked directly at Angelique.
She seemed slightly taken aback but after a hesitant moment responded.
âWell of course, if itâs tradition.â
Before I knew it a pool stick and a shot of whisky was thrust into my hands. I gulped down the whiskey hoping for courage against the impending doom I felt.
âNow donât worry young man, Mako is good ,Iâll grant you that, but you represent our company.â Jason encouraged.
âThanks.â I mumbled. How did I know somehow it would be him that I would have to play? I looked over at Angelique hoping for encouragement, but none was forthcoming. She was too busy staring; admiringly I must say, at her new hero, Mako.
I lost, and to add insult to injury I only sunk one of my balls. If that wasnât embarrassing enough, Mako made sure to prolong my agony, offering me untold opportunities to display my lack of talent. Mako finally sank the eight ball, tuning to my wife, a lazy expectant smile on his face.
Angelique seemed mesmerized for a second before calmly turning her back to us and removing her panties. When she handed them over to the victor he had the audacity to actually hold them to his nose and inhale her musky scent.
Needless to say we had a big fight on the way home. Relieved to finally make our escape, I never less accused her of flirting with Mako, a charge she angrily denied. Angelique maintained she was only helping me further my career .Iâm not sure if I quite believed her, although I had no reason to doubt her. Angelqiue had never flirted with anyone I knew of in our short tow year marriage. Regardless, the next day a rather expensive gift arrived courtesy of Waller Industries. It was a billiard table.
Letâs just say this argument continued on the surface everything seemed fine, we talked at dinner, Angleique dropping hints of what she wanted for her birthday (the list was quite long) but she denied me sex, remaining aloof, which is unusual for her. I always considered her a borderline nympho.
I decided on a pair of pearl earrings to match her necklace, and an expensive black corset (with bindings). I could picture her in my mind wearing it. What a goddess, for sure this would arouse her into her former self.
Her big day arrived, I had arranged to come home early from work, getting home about three. Angelique was in the whirlpool, surrounded by bubbles. Our dinner reservations at a local restaurant were not until seven. I still had plenty of time to relax.
âHi babe, getting ready for our big night?â
âYes in a way. I decided to cancel the reservations.â
âYou what?â I was somewhat shocked.
âCalm down darling, and donât be so selfish.â
âItâs your birthday.â
âIâm aware of that stupid, thatâs why I took the liberty of canceling. Besides, my friend Charlotte has catered us a seafood dinner.â
âShe what?!â
âKyle, dear, sometimes you can be so dense. We are staying home tonight and thatâs final.â
It was useless to argue with her. She always got her way.
Later as we were eating in the romantic candlelight, I couldnât take my eyes off her she looked stunning. I had to be the luckiest man alive, I thought contently. We made small talk throughout dinner then presented her with her gifts. She absolutely loved the pearl earrings, putting them on right away.
âIâve always wanted one of these.â Angelique announced upon seeing her black corset. âI canât wait to wear it.â
âPlease do.â
âA little later perhaps.â
I couldnât wait; somewhat disappointed it wasnât now.
