My husband Doug and I had arranged to save our vacation days and use them in conjunction with a trade show he had to attend in order to take our dream driving trip from the Chicago area out through Colorado, Utah and on to Las Vegas for the show. We visited National Parks and other scenic points along the way. We both love hiking in the wildness areas and I at least, enjoy the shows and playing the slots in Vegas. Doug does the Vegas thing strictly out of love for me.
We had a wonderful time hiking in the mountains on the way out and saw some great sights. It was early fall and not all that many people were out on the trails. A couple of times we had sex in remote areas a little off the trail. I have grown to love that.
When we arrived in Vegas, things changed as Doug had to attend the trade show, but I enjoyed lounging around the pool, shopping and of course playing the slots. One afternoon, I went into our hotel's casino and headed to a particular slot machine that I had fairly good luck with on the day before. It was occupied so I waited a short distance away watching to see how the guy who was playing the machine was doing. He wasn't having any luck and finally left so I quickly sat down there.
The man at the next machine who I noticed was dressed in a suit leaned over towards me and warned me that the last guy struck out there. I thanked him and said I had good luck on it before and maybe it was due for a hit. He just smiled and as his coat opened up when he leaned towards me I noticed some kind of meeting type ID badge indicating he was there on business as well.
I played my dollar slot with very little luck playing three coins at a time until I was finally down to my last two dollars. His machine had been spitting fairly well all along. I told him I was going to give up and he handed me a dollar saying its bad luck not to play it all the way out. I put the coins in and went a bit wild when I hit a $1000 jackpot. I offered to split it with him since he gave me the coin, but he refused my offer. I asked him to at least let me buy him a good drink in the lounge in appreciation and he agreed.
We talked a while about our backgrounds in general terms and I learned that Tom was a Doctor attending the medical seminar that was being held at the hotel. He said he got bored with the lecture and cut out. I had noticed his wedding band earlier and asked him if his wife was with him thinking maybe she and I might get together and do some shopping or whatever. He looked stunned and just sat silent a minute and I noticed his eyes got a little watery. He finally told me that his wife had passed away well over a year earlier. I apologized all over the place saying that I noticed the ring and he told me not to worry about it and that he had not totally come to grips with it yet and couldn't take the ring off. We change the subject and talked about a variety of things until my cell phone hummed. It was Doug saying that he had made a contact with a potential new client that could result in a really nice contract and he would have to go to dinner with them. I told him that I understood.
Then he said: "Honey they are talking about going to a strip club they have been to before and want me to go with them."
Now Doug is just so totally honest and straight that he would never do anything like that without telling me about it first, it's just the way he is. The thing is that Doug has taught me how to do strip tease routines for him. The old fashioned kind starting out completely covered and very slowly stripping down unlike most of the current professional strippers who just come out with little on, quickly removing that then just twirling around a pole or doing acrobatics with little serious teasing. Doug loves intense serious teasing.
I told him to go ahead reminding him that I had said before it was OK and that I was not intimidated by it at all. He replied saying he could not go without checking with me first. It did make me feel good since he could have gone without my ever knowing.
After putting my phone down I said, "Well I guess I am on my own for dinner tonight. Doug is tied up with some clients." After a minute or two, Tom told me he was on his own as well and suggested that we could keep each other company if I wanted to and if Doug wouldn't mind. I told him I needed to use the washroom and would be right back. I called Doug thinking since he is always so upfront with me I should do the same even about a little dinner thing. I explained everything that had happened leading up to this and Doug just told me it was great that I wouldn't have to eat alone.
I jokingly said, "You just keep your hands off those strippers." He replied, "Only if you keep your hands off of your new Doctor friend. Have a good time, I love you Honey!"
"I love you too sweetie, see you later," I replied.
I returned to Tom and told him that Doug had no problem with it and that I would enjoy the company hating to eat alone.
He suggested a place that I had never been but knew was very up scale and we agreed to meet in the hotel lobby at 6:30. I checked with the hotel concierge and she confirmed it was a very dressy place. I told her that I didn't really have anything of that nature with me and she recommended a place I seen earlier just around the block. I told the sales lady where I was going and she pulled out the only two appropriate dresses in my size that she had. One was sexier than the other and both sexier than I would normally wear but I didn't have time to find another store so I took the slightly more conservative dress. It certainly would not be out of line, but was just a little lower cut and shorter than I was used too.
As I approached Tom in the lobby, I noticed that he was checking me over a bit. I felt rather flattered as I am far from a raving beauty as well
as in my upper thirties on top of everything else. We went to the restaurant and I fit right in as far as my dress went. We had two drinks and a great dinner talking almost continuously about all kinds of subjects. I learned a lot about him and his late wife. It was like he really needed to have a sounding board and he was such a nice guy that I didn't mind at all.
I insisted on paying with my winnings and after we left the restaurant, which was on the top floor of a fancy hotel, we passed a lounge area and Tom suggested that we have one more drink before gong back to our casino. I am not much of a drinker and was soon felling a slight buzz and I think he was also. I noticed him glancing at my cleavage from time to time thinking to myself that men are men no matter what. It was fairly early and they were playing slow songs with a few people dancing. They played a song I liked and used to dance too and without thinking, I asked Tom if he liked to dance. Actually I wasn't asking him to dance, just if he liked to dance, but he got up and said that would be great. What could I do, off we went. He was a great dancer unlike Doug and we danced to four songs and then left. I was rather surprised that on the last two songs he moved in rather close and tight to me and maybe even more surprised that I didn't resist at all. I thought about what Doug would think and then justified it with the fact that he was looking at several naked strippers and I was only dancing.
In the cab on the way back to the casino I suggested that if he wasn't busy that the three of us could have dinner together the following night. I think I probably did that to cool the situation as I was experiencing a bit of a tingling sensation that was not related to the three drinks I had. Tom readily agreed and gave me his card telling me to call him between noon and one the next day to make sure we were all still available.
I went right to my room and it was obvious that Doug had just gotten in as well. I couldn't help it, I felt a little uneasy and maybe guilty having danced like that with another man and getting a little stimulated by it.
I decided to take the offense and said, "Well Honey, did you enjoy all those naked strippers, I understand they are all exceptionally beautiful in Vegas?"
And of course he immediately took the upper hand countering with, "Oh, there is no doubt they are beautiful but there is no comparison to how gorgeous you are babe." He is so full of it sometimes, but I love it anyway because he is blinded by his love for me and actually feels that way. He came up to me and took me into his arms and kissed me passionately. Obviously the strippers had gotten him stirred-up a bit and as I indicated, men are men and I had no problem with that nor was I intimidated by it because now he only wanted me.
However I had to taunt him a bit and said,
"See, those sweet young things just got you all worked up didn't they."
Like I said, Doug is one of those rare people that just must be totally honest and frank and he admitted that he was a bit aroused by it all. Then he finally realized that he had never seen the dress I was wearing. WOW Honey, is that a new dress, you look great in that. I just couldn't lie to him and related how I had to get the dress because of the place Tom had wanted to go.
"Well," he said, "I can certainly see why he wanted to keep you out so late. Did you have a good time?"
I replied, "Well yes we had a good time, a very nice dinner and talked a lot about our backgrounds and all." Still feeling a little guilty, I just had to add, "Honey he took me into the hotel lounge and we ended up dancing together, I hope your not upset with me."
In his typical way he said, "Of course not, I am glad you had a good time and I know you love to dance and that I am so bad at it, so I think that's great Honey."
