"You did? I was hoping . . . Tell me, tell me all about it."
"He, he hurt his back, so I gave him a back rub, and that started it."
"Did you wear something sexy for him?"
"No, no, just a summer dress."
He was kissing me with real passion, real lust. "Did he kiss you?"
"Oh yes, yes, we kissed."
"So I'm kissing you after he did? Oh, that's so sexy. Was the room bright, did you look at him, at his body, did he see yours, I mean, really look at you, and get hard looking at you?"
"He was hard before we got undressed, honey, he was hard from the backrub."
Sam was pushing at his clothes, pulling at my robe, getting us both nude.
"Did he see you like this, without anything on?"
"Yes -- honey, he took off my bra, but he wanted me to take off my panties for him, and I did."
"Did you -- tell me you did -- did you go down on him?"
"Yes, and then I kissed him, I kissed him the way you like me to kiss you, after I go down on you, I kissed him so he could taste himself on my lips."
Sam's eyes closed, his mind was lost in images, images of his wife bending over a young man's penis.
I helped that image. "My hair blocked his view, he wanted to see me suck him, so I moved my hair, I let him see my lips on him, I let him see his penis in my mouth."
"Did he, I mean did you. . ."
"No, he didn't come in my mouth, honey, you didn't taste that there."
He was nuzzling at my belly, as excited as a teenager.
"I think I smell him, I think I smell him, on your belly."
A moment later, a little deeper, he was shaking with excitement.
"I think I can taste him!"
He came.
It's usually work to make Sam get hard more than once in a night, but not this night. We went over what happened, time after time, each time he'd harden, maybe not as much, but hard enough. I never had two men in a night, I'd never had sex three times in a couple of hours, but I did then.
So I had done what my husband wanted, I guess what I wanted, too.
We talked about it the next day. "I'm not that woman, honey, that assertive sexually experienced woman. It's not a role I ever want again, I don't want to pretend to be that, especially with a guy like Frank. I won't ever do that again."
"But what about what I want, being a voyeur, seeing you, not just hearing about it, acting it out?"
"Never, honey, not with me having to seduce someone like that."
"That's the problem, you having had to seduce Frank? But you were so sexy, the way you did that."
"I know, but now I'm sorry I did. I mean, he's just a kid. What'll he think later, that all women are like that?"
"I don't think so," Sam tried to reassure me.
In the end I insisted. "Not like that, not ever again."
September came, went. Our lives were full, we were full of life, of ourselves, and each other. The 'Frank thing' played a role in lust making, sometimes in love making, but even Sam was convinced I wouldn't do that again.
He'd been thinking about it, though.
"Sex isn't the problem, is it? It wasn't sex with Frank, it was you having to seduce him that you didn't like."
"Sam, you convinced me that having sex with someone was all right, so that isn't what's screwing up my head. I just don't want to have to be the driving force, I can't be like that again. If ever it happens again, it'll have to be different than that."
"What if it was an assertive man, a controlling man, that would be different enough, if it was a guy who just took total control of you, total charge of you, almost as if you had no control. I don't mean anything like force, or rape or anything, but like in a seductive environment, having a guy take control, that would be all right, huh?"
I hadn't thought of that scenario, but Sam was right. If it wasn't me doing things, if it was someone doing things to me, not hurting me or anything, but being in charge, that would be better. It wouldn't be me, it would be someone else. I'd be almost helpless. Almost helpless around a sexy stranger, and willing to be led into an erotic scene. Oh yeah, that would be really sexy.
"Maybe," I allowed, 'maybe that would be OK."
"OK," Sam told me. "Let me think about that. I still want to watch you, you know."
And as often happened now, he showed me exactly what he thought he wanted to watch. He showed me what he thought a controlling guy would do.
It was hot, it was fun, it was sexy, and you know what?
Sam was dead wrong about how it was going to happen.
Absolutely dead wrong.
I hate this part. I'm telling you this story, but I don't want you to ever be able to identify us. Yet, the more I write, the more clues you get, and you have to know this part to know the whole story.
The kid of one of the rich people who lived not far from here got sick. He needed all kinds of blood transfusions, and he got all he needed from the Red Cross Blood Bank. The father, let's call him Rich Guy, found out there's a bunch of people who give blood every 8 or 9 weeks, year in, year out. Sam and I are like that, I've given about 60 times (that's about 60 pounds of blood, about half my body weight!) and Sam, more than 70 times. Well, he IS older than me!
Anyhow, Rich Guy contacted the director of the blood bank, and paid the Red Cross to send out invitations to a "Thank You" party he was going to give at the Garden City Hotel. That is NOT going on the cheap, not even for Long Island. And for all you people who are sensitive about your privacy, it was the Red Cross who sent out the invitations, although the RSVP was to Rich Guy. You wouldn't identify yourself as a donor unless you chose to.
We chose to respond: we thought the party would be fun, we'd meet other people who thought being donors was important as we did.
Suits and ties, dresses, or uniforms were the dress of the day. That last bit was an interesting insight, because lots of the regular donors are cops or firemen. Odd, isn't it, that these men and women who put their lives on the line for us also are willing to literally bleed for us every 8 weeks, too? Yeah, you can tell, I have hero worship, especially after 9/11.
I wore a party dress, knee length, simple, black. It had a little bit of a scoop neckline, the back scooped too. It had wide shoulder straps, but it still was best with a strapless bra. I'm not one of those women with large breasts, I could go braless without causing a riot. Pantyhose, some reasonable (two and a half inch) heels, a simple necklace, a wide belt, and a lightweight coat completed me.
Sam wore one of his better black suits, his tie the same bright red as was my belt -- proof of ownership, I guess.
We all got nametags: first name only, and the number of times we've given blood. I was "Sarah 59", my husband was "Sam 73". 25% of the people at the party were in uniform. At dinner I sat between Sam and a New York City cop in his 'Blue Bag' -- that's what he called his uniform
How many times have you seen pictures of cops with big bellies, cops who looked like if they had to chase anyone would lose the race. "Bill 85" wasn't one of those. Not tall (and I like tall), but broad, and for sure, not fat.
And personable. He was Irish, and could he ever talk! I learned more about him before the dessert was served than I learned about Sam in our first 6 months together. For example, he was married and divorced three times -- "I'm too controlling for most women,." he never had to draw his gun in the line of duty, at least not yet, and -- well, he was charming, a great dinner companion.
There was music afterwards, Billy was going to leave early because he didn't have a date, but Sam asked him to stay with us.
I liked being with these people, all of them at the party were special, and Sam 73 and Bill 85 were very attentive and handsome escorts.
I danced more than I had in years, with each of my escorts. Bill was proper enough, although when you danced with him there was a strength and power in his lead. There was no doubt where you moving, what steps you were taking. He held me, as the evening went on, a little closer than was exactly proper, but not enough to make me fight him off.
Not that I wanted to, of course. I was in heaven with all the attention I was getting.
Well into the evening Sam asked the obvious question: "Like him?"
"Oh sure, he's fun."
"Think he's sexy?"
Well yeah, I did. And I said so.
"A possible?"
Wait a minute, that was going one giant step.
"Well?"
"Oh, I wasn't even thinking of that, I don't know. . ."
Like most women there I visited the ladies room a few times. Most didn't have two escorts at their table though, and most wouldn't see their escorts in whispered conversation when she returned.
Bill excused himself, I was dancing with Sam, slow dancing with Sam, and he made it obvious he was excited, that he was in heat.
"Feels like we're going to have an exciting time at home later, fella. Big Horn feels like he can't fit into his case."
"Maybe we shouldn't go home, honey, we've both been drinking, it's a 40 minute drive."
"We didn't come prepared to spend the night, Sam, and we don't have reservations or anything. That doesn't sound like a good idea. We'll take it easy and get home OK, I promise. I didn't drink that much, anyhow."
"Well, that's not what I want," Sam told me.
"Huh?"
"Bill and I were talking, honey. He's what I've been, what we've been, looking for. He liked to be really dominant in his relations. Anyway, I want . . ."
"You mean, you were talking to Bill?"
"Yeah."
"About me? About us?"
